nbc reached out to the police department in windsor, virginia, but has not received a response.wearing -- you were going to wear on the show this morning. you changed it to black lives matter. i want everyone to react to what we just saw, but, jill, you go first. >> it was horrifying. it is a constant reminder of the danger of driving while black, of walking while black, of jogging while black. we have to do something to stop this. no one who looks like me would have been subjected to that. he drove for about one mile to get to a lighted area, which is a completely justifiable thing. he put his own camera on his dashboard and recorded what was happening, as did obviously the body cams, and it looks to me like there must have been a cam in the gas station from the angle. >> um-hmm. >> there's just nothing to be said about the appropriateness of what happened. the reference to "the lightning" has to do with the electric chair. and that's a pretty serious threat. and then they threatened him with ruining his army career. this was a man in uniform who had done nothing, and the licen

the announcement from the town of windsor, virginia came hours after the governor called for an independent investigation into the encounter. the army lieutenant who is black and latino files a lawsuit against those officers. newly released information on the killing of a new mexico state police officer during a traffic stop in february indicates he was caught by surprise when a man who had agreed to surrender his rifle instead open fire. the suspect was later killed in the shoot-out. with other officers there. and a long island police officer is in critical condition tonight after a driver stabbed him during a traffic stop. police say two good samaritans came to the aid of that officer and subdued the suspect. he was charged with ever covid -- aggravated assault on a police officer. and say that police officers were wounded during a police chase with one suspect killed and the other arrested. it happened in carroll county just outside atlanta. for a wrap up of police activity in the past few days. in the meantime president biden is meeting with bipartisan lawmakers at the white house in an

the national use of force standard would say whether you're in windsor, virginia, or you're in chicago, or you're in brooklyn center, minnesota, wherever you are, that there should be a national use of force standard. basically an officer should not use force with his or her weapon unless all other reasonable means have been exhausted under the circumstances. and if a police department doesn't adopt that standard, then federal funds could be withheld, federal funds often help police departments cover the resources that they need for different things. so they're very important to these local departments. i believe the federal government should play a role in moving toward one reliable, justifiable use-of-force standard. that's just the tip of the iceberg. as your two previous guests were saying, we need to do so many things from demilitarizing the police to tackling these police unions, to ensuring we have much more accountability and transparency at the local level, to using the federal government to investigating immediately police departments that show a pattern of racial discriminat

the other officer is still employed with windsor virginia police.back up here and some of the video you have shown, viewers can tell, this is quite disturbing to watch. we should warn folks and to kind of set the scene. this happened december 5th about 6:30 p.m.. the car was driving through windsor 30 miles west of norfolk. he saw lights and sirens. he didn't know why he was stopped and didn't pull over for a minute and 40 second. as he explained later, he was searching for a well-lit area to stop. but because he didn't stop immediately, because his car had tinted windows and like you said, because the officer did not see his temporary plate, that officer determined it to be a high risk traffic stop. so by the time you see them pull into the gas station, the two officers had their guns drawn and are shouting commands at nazario, who as you said remained calm throughout asking, what's going on. they shouted at him to keep his hands out of the window and to get out of the car about two-to-three minute in, one of the officers uses pepper spray. here is

i believe that the windsor, virginia, community police force owed not only the second lieutenant an apologyhe entire united states army an apology. that was an assault on the individual and it was an assault on the uniform. >> it certainly was. it's heartbreaking to see these things go on and not even a year after george floyd's death sparked these national protests. another black man was shot and killed by police in the minneapolis area. we've got a protest underway there right now. we're showing some live pictures from brooklyn center, about ten miles from the courthouse where the trial is going on. how much do these repeated incidents erode trust? >> well, tremendously, obviously. after the reports that the officer apparently thought she was using her taser, i called a good friend of mine who was a retired law enforcement officer at the federal and local level and i said "how can this happen? doesn't law enforcement train not to mistake their taser for their lethal weapon"? you would think that the taser is positioned someplace different on the belt so that you don't make that very basic
