arbery, had it not been caught in video, in walter scott's case, had it not been caught on video. in george floyd's case had it not been caught on video, we might be in a different place. but on the other side, there is wanting to race bait on tokenism. while this legislation would provide resources for body cameras, for anti-lynching, for deescalation training, but, no, we can't concern ourselves with the families i sat with at the white house yesterday and in my office yesterday. instead, we want to play politics because this is 2020 and we're far more concerned about winning elections than we are having a serious conversation on reforming this country. no, we would rather have a conversation tearing this country apart, making it a binary choice between law enforcement and communities of color, instead of working for the american people, bringing the reforms to the table so that we have a chance to balance this nation and to direct her towards due north. no, that's too much to ask on june the 17th, five years later. i started this conversation on body cameras in 2015 on the walt

and the same year 2015 walter scott in my hometown is shot five times in the back and a single thing on that side of the aisle to push forward more legislation on body cameras. but today this is token legislation because i think it's important we stand up and be counted and make sure we have more resourcesicer availabe every single officer to have a camera if there was not caught oneo video and in walter scott's case in george floyd's case had it not been caught on video we might be in a different place. but on the other side wanting to raise space this legislation provides b resources for anti- lynching for-e de-escalation training, but now. we cannot console ourselves at the white house yesterday in my office yesterday. and to be far more concerned and to have a serious conversation of reform in this country and that binary choice between lawom enforcement bringing reforms to the table know. that's too much to ask on june 175 years later i started this conversation on body cameras in 2015. and to have the political conversation. and then my friends on the other side of the aisle ar

is it is just like walter scott. you know, people forgot about that case because it has been so long. it was so horrific. they said the same thing. oh, he took my taser and i shot him while we were wrestling for the taser. then once we gatt our hands on the video we saw that they shot him in the back 30 yards away. and in that case, they tried the whole taser could have killed me with a taser argument, and it didn't work. so it literally brings back memories of walter scott. even watching him get shot in the back just like walter scott. and then it is really horrible hearing the witnesses say that they were picking up shell casings or tampering with the scene or whatever they were doing. because that happened with walter scott. the officer went and threw the taser close to the dead body. so it's just horrible to be reliving the walter scott case again. >> and one thing we want to make sure people know, we don't think this is -- you know, these are one offs. we know they are not. we are seeing them more and more. it i

walter scott. and then it was really horrible hearing the witnesses say they were picking up shell casings or tampering with the scene. whatever they were doing. >> the officer went and threw the taser close to the dead body. so it's just horrible to be reliving the walter scott case again. >> and one thing we want to make sure people know. we don't think this is -- you know, these are one offs, we know they're not. we're seeing them more and more, that's not because society is getting worse. just because technology is getting better, all right? there are more cameras everywhere, we're seeing more of this stuff, but it's the same stuff, it's been happening, the difference is you can't lie in your report, because there's a camera that's going to get you. you can't make up some story, because there's a camera that's going to get you. we saw today what happened last night. we saw it, and while mr. brooks was not perfect. he didn't -- i mean, he could have done a couple things too, and we're not saying

it literally brings back memories of walter scott. even watch him get shot in the back just like walter scott. it was really horrible hearing the witnesses saying they were picking up shell casings because that happened in walter scott. the officer threw the taser close to the dead body. it's just horrible to be reliving the walter scott case again. and one thing we want to make sure people know. we don't think these are one-offs. we know they are not. we are seeing them more and more. it's just because tell is getting better. there are more cameras he where. and we are seeing more of this stuff. buff it's the same stuff, it's been happening. you can't lie in your report because there is a camera that will get you. you can't make up some story because there is a camera that will get you. you can't throw a taser close to somebody because there is a camera that will come get you. we saw what happened last night. while mr. brooks was not perfect, he could have done a couple things, too. but the officer had the last best chance to stop th

operate not been on video and walter scott case had not been caught on video. in george floyd's case had it not been caught on video, we might be in a different place. but on the other side this is called tokenism. when this side of legislation once have body cameras, antilynching, de-escalation training. but no we cannot concern ourselves with the families i sat with at the white house yesterday and in my office yesterday. instead we b wanted to play politics because this is 2020 we are far more concerned about winning elections then we aren't having a serious conversation of reform in this w country. no we would rather have a conversation about tearing this country apart. making it a binary choice between law enforcement and communities of color instead of working for the american people. bringing reforms to the table so we have a chance to balance this nation and direct due north. know this too much to ask on june the 17th, five years later. ice started the conversation about body cameras in 2017 but no will. we want to have a political conversation. i rejec

walter scott. without video today, that situation would never happened in minneapolis. even though it happened, it would not have happened without video. walter scott would never happen. it was only the video that brought these injustices to light. i apologize for the long answer. ben: no, it's a good answer and i appreciate it. let's turn for a second to the economy this is the subject of , our series. we are in the difficult spot right now with the level of unemployment and the drop in economic growth. we are trying to reopen everywhere. how optimistic are you that we can have an economic recovery that is relatively strong and swift? i'm not in the camp that believes we are going to bounce back fast. i do think it could take a decade to get back to where we were, but tell me your thoughts. sen. scott: the definition of recovery matters. i would say that we will see a strong recovery starting next month, from my perspective. i've been thinking this for about four months now. i'm optimistic. i'm an eternal optimist. ben: i am, too. sen. scott: i think we will have a str

you covered walter scott five years ago, and we're right back in walter scott part two. it's frustration, because i don't want to lose hope or faith in the police department. but at a certain point. enough is enough. i respect law enforcement, but i'm not respecting how it is affecting african-americans. it's gone on too long, and it has to change. everybody has to get off the sideli sidelines. this is anti-loss of life, loss of fathers and enough is enough. >> give us the context of what you're learning about how this shooting unfolded. we've heard that rayshard brooks was simply in his car, he fell asleep in the drive through, cars going around him in this wendys, pick up what happened based on everything you've learned over the past 24 hours. pick up what happened next? >> we've been talking to witnesses. it was a nonviolent, noncriminal situation. he fell asleep in the drive through, which happens to people all across this country all the time. witnesses said that he did not get a field sobriety test, there was a discussion with him and the officers, and suddenly the

rob: let's look at the draft of the police reform bill, the first thing is, george floyd walter scott notification act, requires reporting of uses of force that cause death or serious injury, that goes to the fbi. the breanna taylor notification act provides data on the use of search warrants, if there's a drug warrants, without knocking the scrutiny on that. police recruiting reflexive, reflective of the community, increasing funding for body cameras. there's a lot of points of debate. what do you make of this so far? >> i'm a big fan of body cameras, normally do a correct police officers but defendants. if we did not have this camera footage from a cell phone in the george floyd case we would have had some bad police officers still on the street so i'm a big fan of body cameras because they protect police as well, good police officers which is 90% of them but we have to make changes in our country, the president knows that and that is why he is taking swift and decisive action. it is not just about words. we can talk about things that i sat on the president's prison

i think the last time you and i talked was walter scott five years ago

i think about the walter scott case. used to teach this case in a class that i was teaching in a media class on race, in which initially the police came out and they said that walter scott, this is the man shot in north carolina, that he had tried to get the officers taser and that is why he was shot. low and behold, thanks to video. a very brave young man who happened to catch the entire murder on tape, it turned out, nope, walter scott had run from the officer, the officer simply shot him in the back, squared up and shot him and then walked up and the second officer dropped a taser to make it look like he committed a crime and police are believed even by the media. do you think that something is fundamentally changed now because we watched george floyd's murder from start to finish and it is undeniable and so they can't hide behind that any more. is that the change or is it because it is now nonblack people who are bearing a lot of the brunt of the violence that they're taking in the streets. >> i think it is both. you

castle freddy gray walter scott to me or rice michael brown eric garner trayvon martin my colleagues any other names you want to. let me leave you. thank you we cannot settle for anything less than transformative structural change and kimberly just to be clear when they have this debate about defunding certain police forces does that just mean that they take a chunk of money they skim it off the top of the budget and give it to all the causes of the community causes or all the actually talking about taking away the entire budget from certain police forces and therefore in effect disbanding police forces. depends on the community but it could be both of those things that it really is control of local city mayors local police chiefs and really the will of the people of the community because this is a country with very strong states' rights and also the local rights what we're hearing from the house speaker nancy pelosi is a proposal for the federal law enforcement it's hoped that by changing there that the change will trickle down but you're absolutely right this is the challenge for t

, is it reminded me of walter scott. it was the same thing. a man running away, getting shot in the back, not posing any imminent harm or threat to that officer, and pride and anger made that officer shoot. >> how does on a legal level, how do you justify shooting a fleeing suspect? no matter what it is. because as far as i'm concerned, i'm not a lawyer, but i always was told that it was against the law to even shoot at a fleeing suspect, particularly if the suspect was just suspected of what, being inebriated and asleep in a car? >> yeah, it's a total analysis. you know, if he would have had let's say he's running away with a shotgun or some weapon which is a deadly threat there's a possibility where the officer can use deadly force to protect himself if he thought his life was in immediate danger or someone else. but a taser is not a deadly weapon. that is something that is a less than lethal weapon, that is used constantly on african-americans in cases that i've had where we've been arguing it shouldn't have been used

that shouldn't have been murdered, just like george floyd, just like alton sterling, just like walter scott, just like-- the list goes on and on. >> reporter: tamika miller never imagined she'd be in the same position as george floyd's family. what do you want now for justice? >> i want them to go to jail. i want them to deal with the same thing that-- if it was my husband who killed someone else. if it was my husband who shot them, he would be in jail. he would be doing a life sentence. >> reporter: no crofcer, bhe prosecutor is looking into the case and says he will have a decision by mid-week. meanwhile, atlanta's bracing for another round of protests tonight. major? >> garrett: mark strassmann, thank you. california's attorney general is being asked to investigate the death of a young black man who was found hanging from a tree. the initial incide alarmed the community. some fear the wednesday death in palmdale, some 60 miles north of los angeles, could be foul play. cbs's jonathan vigliotti reports. >> can i also ask that we stop talking about lynchings? >> reporter: at a contentious p

tamir rice, freddie gray, walter scott, and many, many, many others. and if anyone thinks that these police murders have just begun to take place in recent years when people had cell phone cameras, you would obviously have been mistaken. this has gone on forever. mr. president, the american people are rightly demanding justice and an end to police brutality and murder. the u.s. senate has got to act now. we have got to hear the cries for justice that are coming from the streets of this country, that are coming from the african american community, from the white community, from the latino community, from all of our people. we must act and we must act now. and let me just suggest some of the items that must be in the legislation that we passed. and this is a limited number. we can do more. in my view, every police officer involved in a killing must be held accountable and those found guilty must be punished with the full force of law. that includes officers who stand by while these brutal acts take place. every single killing of a person by police or whi

auntie anna jefferson, walter scott, orlando costello, i anna stanley jones, tamir rice, as well as manny ellis, and shea taylor from my home state of washington. the countless people, black people and people of color the vast majority whose names we don't know whose lives have been unfairly taken. even more important these protests are driven by people including many young people who aree justifiably sick and tired of the systemic racism behind those killings that is deeply woven throughout the fabric of our democracy and our history and rightly believe we are not moving forward nearly fast enough. i know this is true in my home state of washington where according to data compiled by the mapping police violence database between 2013 and 2019 black people were more than three times more likely to be killed by the police and it is beyond clear that disproportionate impact of police violence in on black communities as well as other communities of color is not an accident. so mr. president i come to the floor today because our nation has to change, because the people are demanding it and i b

of police killings of african-americans, including sharad brooks, tamir rice, alton sterling, walter scott and many, many others that american people are rightly demanding more from justice and an end to police brutality and murder. we have got to hear that cry coming from all across this country from large cities and small towns and the senate must act and act now. now, here is some good news in the midst of a lot of bad news. that is thanks to a massive grassroots movement, the senate will finally begin to debate legislation dealing with the police. that is a good thing. the bad news is that the republican legislation, at least what i have seen this morning, goes nowhere near far enough as to where we need to go. now is not the time to think small or respond with superficial bureaucratic proposals. now is not the time for more studies. now is the time to hold racist and corrupt police officers and police departments accountable for their actions. now is the time to implement reforms in communities that have suffered police brutality for far too long. now here is the time to boldly protec

walter schrager, walter scott was shot and killed by walter schrager after he tased someone inappropriatelyo other occasions and it was until the death of walter scott that finally michael schrager was taken off the roles. they're being disingenuous when they clutch their pearls and pretend this is something new they just discovered. now, on this day, something different is going to happen. nothing different has happened. substanti substantively, since 2014. >> sergeant dorsey, we talk about what is happening in minneapolis and this call to defund the police, what does that say to you about what the future would look like if that happens? >> what it says to me is that those are words to placate the millennials because the millennials want to do away with police departments totally. and that's not going to happen. and so here in los angeles, our mayor talked about taking away millions of dollars from the police department and in so doing somehow makes it easier for police to file complaints -- for community members to file complaints. it makes no sense. they could do a couple of things real

walter scott was shot and killed by officer michael slager who was later convicted and sentenced to 20 for murder. later in april of 2015, the city of baltimore is rocked when freddie gray dies in police custody. the 25-year-old black man's arrest is caught on video. the baltimore police department charge gray for possessing a knife after being transported in a police van. gray falls into a coma and is taken to the hospital where he dies later of a spinal injury. over the next few days the city is brought to its knees with residents demanding to know what happened to gray. none of the officers were convicted. in 2015, sandra bland is pulled over for a minor traffic violation by state trouper brian encino. >> do you mind putting your cigarette? >> their exchange escalates. the video shows how quickly the interaction turns. >> get out of the car! i will light you up. >> bland is found dead in her cell days later, her death ruled a suicide. >> i told you not to reach. i told you to get your hand out. >> in july 2016 philando castile gets pulled over. his girlfriend starts using her phone

of walter scott who knew what he had done, that he had dropped a taser to make walter scott look like a criminal. he's now in prison but only because the feds came and got him because the jury hung because the woman who went to prosecute him, she gave a soft case that blamed walter scott for his own death. that collusion happened there, too. it's difficult to break this culture. that's why a lot of people have moved past. yeah, defund these organizations or maybe just scrap them and start again. >> with dysfunctional police departments, there's two sets of rules. one is what we learned in the police academy, what rookies are taught about the constitution and their duty to be accountable, their duty to serve and protect and then there's another set, the law of streets. what rookies are taught when experienced officers take them on patrols and say this is how it really works. and with dysfunctional police departments, how it really works is choke holds. even when they're banned, sometimes you have to do what you have to do, especially if the suspect is black or hispanic and the suspect

. >> you know, paul, this case, particularly does remind me of the walter scott case, a rare case you get a conviction. but that was after a hung jury, after a video didn't convince a jury he should be convicted. you heard how detailed was laid out today by attorney paul howard. when you heard that kind of detail, including he had his back to him, the taser fired over him, that there was no threat to the officer, that he shot so blindly, he hit other cars. he said he feared for the other people in the parking lot, but he shot into their cars. does that kind of detail help a prosecution, and what kind of message is being sent by not only this but the minneapolis case, the george floyd case, the walter scott shooter is now in prison, will this change police behavior more than anything else? >> the message is, there's a new day when police officers used excessive force against african-americans or any other citizens. the stakes in this case are extremely high. but murder conviction raises the stakes -- or the murder charge raises the stakes even higher. it's one thing to charge murder, i

walter scott mattered. mcdonald and so many others mattered. rayshard brooks mattered. and the countless other people have lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement mattered. for far too long pleas for justice and reform have fallen on deaf ears in congress, but that changes today. the george floyd justice and policing act would finally allow for meaningful accountability in cases of police misconduct and it would begin the process of reimagining policing in the 21st century. this legislation makes it easier for the federal government to successfully prosecute police misconduct cases. effectively bans choke holds. ends racial and religious profiling. encourages prosecutions independent from local police. and eliminates the dubious court made doctrine of qualified immunity in civil rights lawsuits against law enforcement officers. at the same time, it works to prevent police violence and bias through a series of front end approaches aimed at edge courages departments to meet a gold standard in training, hiring, dee escalation strategies, bystander duty, use of bod

why is it they were called on someone who is parked or in the case of walter scott? the criminalization of everything including driving, homelessness, sex work that leads to all of these issues and increased police contact. the only way -- political leaders and legislators listening, if you're not looking for every single way to reduce criminal legal codes that criminalize people, that bring people into contact with communities, you do not care about black people, you do not care about marginalized people, do not care about poor people, this is leading the people dying. every single day, people are being dying, brutalized, harassed, you know, and it is this issue cannot be fixed. it is unfixable. you have to unearth it and reimagine public safety entirely as we know it. that has to be led by communities. if not, politicians are actually only invested in maintaining their own power and positions. and not actually restructuring society and restructuring the conditions that give birth to this. and that is at the core of what it is because business owners and property ow

rage, and sorrow felt for the killing of george floyd and breonna taylor and ahmaud arbery and walter scottnd tamir rice and all the other mostly african-american men and women who have been killed by law enforcement or killed through what we call extra judicial killings. >> nicole, one of the things that also struck me during the protests, i mean, the video, as jonathan mentioned, so difficult to watch, in fact what we're not going to do is at any point during this funeral service is run that video. i think that's an image that we've all seen enough of over the past two weeks. but these marches, nicole, were also happening against the backdrop of, again, a global pandemic that does not appear to be getting better. you've got more than 40 million americans looking for work. there is an anxiety that's gripping our country and has gripped our country for some months now. nicole, how much do you think that what we've seen play out over the past few weeks is also a manifestation of some of those things as well? or is this just about police brutality? is this just about the chasm that has existe

when i saw this video out of atlanta it reminded me a lot of walter scott, you know.s was a man obviously that also ran away from police and he was shot in the back. the only thing is that i'm concerned that, you know, walter scott, he did not have any sort of, you know, what would be considered a weapon in his hand. in this case, i fear that the police will be able to say, well, he took my taser, which could be considered a weapon. but then, you know, shooting someone in the back that's running away from you with a taser, which is not deadly, it's unconscionable. i am just tired. i mean, i'm -- you see this happen all the time. nothing is changing. and people are tired and frustrated. >> and you could see that frustration in the protests that have taken place. we have seen the images of that wendy's on fire and protesters out in the streets in atlanta last night during a pandemic, no doubt. contrast that, though, with what's being called the camden model of reform where even though, even through the george floyd demonstrations, camden, new jersey, across the river th

this is walter scott revisited in 2020. let's be clear about this. those days are over.se explanations are unnecessary and insufficient. and the fact of the matter is the georgia bureau of investigation has 48 police homicides that they've been asked to investigate. that says all we need to know about what kind of a problem there is in georgia and in the rest of the country. >> all right. you know, it's important that i -- we just learned, cornell, that the atlanta police officer, who shot and killed rayshard brooks has now been officially fired from the police department. we' we're going to continue to monitor all these developments. guys, thank you, very much. i'm wolf blitzer in washington. to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'll be back tomorrow with another special edition of "the situation room." that's tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. eastern. our live coverage, here, on cnn, continues next with michael holmes. if you have a garden you know, weeds are low down little scoundrels. draw the line with roundup. the sure shot wand extends with a protective shield to ta

we have to think about the walter scotts, the tamir rices, but i think people forget people are fighting for black lives. people are fighting for the black people who are still alive so that that doesn't happen to them. you know, when you say that to me and i like that you bring that up is the ifs, the ifs, the ifs, if you weren't this, if you weren't this, there is one common thread and that is the people are black. at mercedes-benz, nothing less than world-class service will do. that's why we're expanding your range of choices. many dealers now offer optional pick-up & delivery and at-home maintenance, as well as online shopping with home delivery and special finance arrangements. so, whether you visit your local dealer or prefer the comfort of home you can count on the very highest level of service. get 0% apr financing up to 36 months on most models, and 90-day first-payment deferral on any model. hey! lily from at&t here. i'm back and while most stores are open, i'm working from home and here to help. here's a tip: get half-off the amazing iphone 11 on at&t, america's fastest networ

that shouldn't have been murdered, just like george floyd, just like alton sterling, just like walter scottst like-- the list goes on and on. >> reporter: tamika miller never imagined she'd be in the same position as george floyd's family. what do you want now for what do you want now justice? >> i want them to go to jail. i want them to deal with the same thing that-- if it was my husband who killed someone else. if it was my husband who shot them, he would be in jail. he would be doing a life sentence. >> reporter: no crim cainser officer, but the county prosecutor is looking into the case and says he will have a decision by mid-week. meanwhile, atlanta's bracing for another round of protests tonight. major? >> garrett: mark strassmann, thank you. california's attorney general is being asked to investigate the death of a young black man who was found hanging from a tree. the initial finding of suicide alarmed the community. some fear the wednesday death in palmdale, some 60 miles north of los angeles, could be foul play. cbs's jonathan vigliotti reports. >> can i also ask that we stop tal

arbery, had it not been caught on video, in walter scott's case, had it not been caught on video, in george floyd's case, had it not been caught on video, we might be in a different place. but on the other side, they are wanting to race bait on tokenism, while this legislation would provide resources for body cameras, for anti-lynching, for de-escalation training. but no, we can't concern ourselves with the families i have sat with at the white house yesterday and in my office yesterday. instead, we want to play politics because this is 2020 and we're far more concerned about winning elections than we are about having a serious conversation on reform in this country. no, we would rather have a conversation about tearing this country apart, making it a binary choice between law enforcement and communities of color instead of working for the american people, bringing the reforms to the table so that we have a chance to balance this nation and direct her towards due north. no, that's too much to ask on june 17, five years later. i started this conversation on body cameras in 2015, on th

walter scott, freddie gray, filandro castia, many more, including sondra bland, another resident of illinois whose life was taken when she drove down to texas to interview for a new job. i attended her funeral ceremony. the loss of such a wonderful young woman is still unexplained. now we have come together to mourn the lives of two black men and a black woman, lives that were cut far too short in incidents of inexplicable and inexcusable violence. ahmaud arbery, breonna taylor, george floyd. once again those gut-wrern chg words -- gut wrenching words, i can't breathe brought us to here's. as an activist pointed out justice for breonna, george and ahmaud would mean they'd each be alive today. what we must now seek is accountability. the arrest of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin is the first step in that direction but there is so much more that must follow. too often police officers who cross the line from lawful protection of our communities to baseless targeting, harming and killing of unarmed americans of color. perhaps an arrest of the officer will be made, but our system

eric garner, tamir rice, walter scott, laquan mcdonald mattered. rayshard brooks mattered. and the countless other people who have lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement mattered. for far too long, police and justice reform have fallen on deaf ears in congress, but that changes today. the justice in policing act would finally allow for meaningful accountability in cases of police misconduct and reimagine policing in the 21st century. this legislation, which currently has 227 cosponsors in the house and 36 cosponsors in the senate, makes it easier for the federal government to successfully prosecute police thannduct cases, chokeholds, end racial and religious profiling, encourages prosecution independent of local police, and eliminates the dubious court-made document of qualified immunity of civil rights lawsuits of law enforcement officers. at the same time, it addresses systemic racism and works to prevent police violence and bias through front end approaches aimed at encouraging departments to meet a gold standard in training, hiring, de-escalation strategies, b

certain encounters with the police and you know in my early forty's and you see george ford was 46 walter scott was in his fifty's so again this is something that for black men seems to transcend age it seems to transcend class so i think a lot of people. you know when they saw george floyd they saw their fathers you know women you know washing say women i should say partners saw their partners their husbands in george floyd and we can't forget that these are things are happening to black women as well with briana taylor and you know many of the other cases of black women who have suffered at the hands of police so i think that while we can talk about the class impact of course there's been a serious impact more work. class communities and while we talk about george floyd we shouldn't necessarily think that these are the george floyd protests these george floyd was just the straw that broke the camel's back if you look at what the police were doing in york city they were going around during this pandemic and in the village and in the wealthy white or areas they were handed out masks you know wh
