within 60days, they can appeal. >> as i mentioned, used to be head of the civil rights division at the justice department. can you walk us through what you expect this federal investigation into minneapolis policing looks like with resources, timeline, its potential to actually, you know, achieve change? >> yeah, absolutely. i participated and supervised dozens of these investigations and i think they are really important in changing culture. criminal prosecutions, anderson, are a necessary but insufficient condition of justice. in a pattern of practice investigation, a team of lawyers and experts, former police chiefs, use of force experts, accountability experts will come in. they will interview the -- everybody. they will conduct an investigation of the hiring practices, use of force policies, training policies, are there early warning systems? one question that jumps off the page at me is how could derek chauvin -- he had over two dozen uses of force. why wasn't there an early warning system in place to say is there something wrong with this officer? these are the types of things they will look at an

criminal justice system, collecting data on police use of force, barring the use of chokeholds by federal officers, withholding funds to police department that fail to report to the justice department when no-knock warrants are used. just to wrap up some of the provisions in that one. >> that's all in the democratic bill, plus more, like qualified immunity. and that is a huge sticking point, right? so if the dems have all that stuff in already, and who is pro-lynching? so, i mean, it's almost ridiculous, because no one can vote against a lynching bill, but they can vote against stuff that would make real change. now, i do have some very direct things that we could do. the national registry, so cops can't move around. the gop opposes that. why doesn't the gop use this as a moment to sit down with the congressional black caucus? >> keith, one question for you before you go. if democrats can get the things that are in the tim scott bill but qualified immunity is the thing that won't get the 60-vote threshold in the senate, should they go for what they can get or hold out? >> i'm 61 years old, sir. it was getting so much better, even during

us now, mike memoli, outside the white house. mike, what do these announcements about the investigations into the police departments in louisville and minneapolis on friday tell us about what the biden justice department is going to do when it comes to policing in this country? >> well, ayman, you heard last week after the derek chauvin guilty verdict came in both the president and the vice president issued those remarks to the country talking about how they were going to be pushing lawmakers on capitol hill to advance the george floyd justice in policing act. that's an important legislative priority that we also just heard from white house press secretary jen psaki is something we should expect to hear the president talk about in his address to joint session of congress wednesday night. but this is an administration also prepared to use every tool in its executive tool box to try to address some of the police issues immediately and that's what the attorney general announced today. in fact, you heard officials in louisville talk about them, pattern and practice investigations, the issuing of consent decrees. president biden knows the tools well. they were part of the 1994 crime bill that he

tell us how the justice department is moving forward with this case? >> that's right, victor.vernment is bringing charges in this case, and these are charges against the father and son, travis and gregory mcmichael, and the man that shot the video, the now infamous video that shows the final moments of ahmaud arbery as he's chased down, hunted down by the man, and then the shooting death, and william bryant is who shot the video and is now being charged, and really what this represents is what you are seeing from the justice department is reinvigoration, really, of the civil rights division here in this building for about four years, and we really have not seen very much of these types of cases from the justice department, in fact last year the civil rights division did more types of investigations trying to challenge states, you know, for coronavirus restrictions claiming that they were an infridgement on peoples' rights and businesses, and another case brought today against a former officer for using excessive force sometime ago, and we, of course, know, the attorney general
