George floyd. Both say he was killed at the hands of police. But they differ on key details. What these reports mean for the investigation. And behind the blue line. As the nypd faces scrutiny for its response to protests, we tag along and ask some tough questions about race and policing. First, heres todays eyeopener. Your world in 90 seconds. I am your president of law and order. And an ally of all Peaceful Protesters. While he was speaking in the white house rose garden, Peaceful Protesters outside the gates were being dispersed with tear gas, flash grenades, and rubber bullets, because they wanted to clear the way for the president to pose with a bible in front of a nearby church. Keep it nice and safe. The president seems to think that dominating black people, dominating Peaceful Protesters is law and order. Its not. He calls them thugs. Who is the thug here . We want it to stop. We are tired of seeing our people hurt. We dont want to see that no more. An edge after Peaceful Demonstrations end with violent clashing coast to coast. Call for peace from George Floyds brother, Terrence Floyd. Lets switch it up. Amen. Do this peacefully. Please. Police and protesters coming together to kneel in solidarity. All that white people cannot just say anymore, yeah, im not racist, and think thats enough. Because its not. Its not enough. Because, make no mistake, this is our problem to solve. All that matters. I love and i respect you. I hate i dont have more to say. Hate i cant fix it in a snap. I hate that atlanta is not as perfect, for as good as we are. But we have to be better than this moment. On cbs this morning. Tell me how that came about and what your intention was, what you hope people heard. I wanted to say to the city, not like everything is right, but just in a way, i did not want us to lose hope and destroy what we have. Hope exists here. I was talking directly to atlanta. It, i dont you knyou know, res. Welcome to cbs this morning. Killa mike, a big voice over the weekend. He makes sense, and i hope people are listening to him, tony. Powerful voice. One of many, gayle. Absolutely right about that. Just when you think things cant get more surreal, they do. Thats where we begin this morning, with an extraordinary moment in america yesterday. The president of the United States is now threatening widespread military action to control protests over the alleged Police Murder of george floyd. Demonstrations continued peacefully in dozens of cities across the country yesterday. Some of them though did turn violent after dark. But our main focus this morning is on washington, where Peaceful Protesters we have to stress that Peaceful Protesters outside the white house were tear gassed and pushed away so, it appears, the president could have a photoop. Tony . About the photoop, the president stood outside a Landmark Church that was damaged during the protests. This was after he demanded a crackdown nationwide. He told governors to use the National Guard to dominate, his word, dominate demonstrators, saying if they dont, he will do it himself. Weijia jiang is outside that church. Good morning. This was just amazing to see unfolding on Live Television last evening. Reporter good morning, tony. Good morning to everybody. You know, u. S. President s since James Madison have used this church. It is just a few blocks from the white house. What President Trump did once he arrived as sparked a major controversy. Just before coming here, mr. Trump declared himself the president of law and order and doubled down on his threat to deploy the u. S. Military to control violence in the streets. Protesters in the Nations Capital defied a 7 00 p. M. City wide curfew and marched late into the night. One person captured the tensions with Law Enforcement as dozens of demonstrators rushed down a washington street, desperate to avoid being arrested. Many of those taking refuge inside homes as police waited outside. Let us breathe. Reporter elsewhere in the city, an Army Helicopter hovered over a crowd in what appeared to be an attempt to move the group by using wind and noise. I am your president of law and order and an ally of all Peaceful Protesters. Reporter just hours earlier, President Trump tried to convince the country the rule of law could calm and control tensions. If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them. Reporter his National Address followed a call with u. S. Berating them for what he called their weak response to sometimes violent riots and looting. Youre wasting your time. Youll be run over, and youll look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate. Reporter as the president spoke, military police and other Law Enforcement officials used tear gas and pepper spray to force out Peaceful Protesters in lafayette park. If this doesnt show people what they want to do to us, that they just want to install fear in people, then i dont know whats going to show people. But, you know, this scared me. Reporter once the area was clear, mr. Trump left the white house on foot, walking to the historic st. Johns church, where he held up a bible before cameras. Democrats and Church Leaders condemned the visit, accusing President Trump of acting like a dictator to stage a photoop on sacred ground. He used the church, and he used the bible, in some ways, as symbols to demonstrate or to symbolize American Military power. Reporter Bishop Marian Budde also said it would have been appropriate for President Trump to come here to st. Johns to pray or offer words of healing. Later this morning, the president and first lady are respected to visit another Religious Center in washington, the st. Paul ii national shrine. Weijia, thank you. Fmore on the president s calls to nationalize the military, were joined by major garrett, also the host of the takeout and debriefing the briefing podcast. Good morning. First off, does the president have the authority to mobilize the military against protesters . He does in the district of pl columbia. No other states. If governors request assistance from the federal government because something has spun out of control, the president can invoke the insurrection act. It is a cooperative arrangement, in which governors say, my resources are exhausted. I need extra federal help. It happened after the rodney king riots. After hurricane hugo. Interestingly, this is on the law side, not is symbolism or language side, which i think we should get into, but on the legal side, the 1981 Reagan Justice department concluded that the insurrection act does not give the federal government or the president unlimited powers. It has to be done in concert with governors. Right now, governors are saying to the president , youre way out of line. So is this largely a symbolic gesture then, do you think, by the president . Do you think, major . What are the political implications here . No, no. I dont think the symbolism is small at all. I think it is enormous. The language is enormous. The defense secretary of the United States yesterday talked about battlespace in america. A battlespace. That helicopter hovering over people who, yes, were violating a curfew, but were doing so peacefully, almost seems like a conditioning of the military, in which it will orient itself toward peaceful americans in their own street, doing something that doesnt harm property or people. Those things are powerful, visual symbols, and the language of dominate, battlespace america, indicates and signals to the country exactly what this president is girding for. You have to ask yourself, what institutions are there to protect people in the streets . Does the president respect them . I think it is a conversation our country, if it hasnt already had, will begin having in very definite ways going forward. Major, we heard it in weijias report, that the president said to governors, if you dont confront the protesters, youre going to be seen as weak. Theyll dominate you. What has been the reaction to that by governors out there . The president looked at the video this weekend and said, video this weekend and said america is running amuck. Not looking at the protesters who said we have grievance and we want redress. And the looting is real, the violence is real. The boarded up businesses, thats real, thats not fiction. That is a problem and it has to be dealt with. And the president is saying to governors and mayors if you dont do it, im threatening to take over your places. Hes essentially saying something that i think he knows he cant do, and probably wont do. But he wants a strength to be associated with his presidency in order to motivate governors and city mayors to do something stronger than theyve done before. If it works, he will bait himself in this strength symbolism. If it doesnt, the president will have a problem that he cant solve and that mayors and governors will feel helpless when their orientation to the federal government dissolves on their own. There is a possibility it could backfire. Thank you very much. Lets go to oakland, california, where police fired tear gas at protesters who were out after curfew and in other cities, including new york, there was more looting overnight. Our lead National Correspondent is in manhattan outside one of the stores that was ransacked. Good morning. What happened there . Were in time square. There is a lot of damage here, not only here but around midtown manhattan. On 5th avenue, big brand stores, name brand stores got hit, but also momandpop shops like this. They broke off the torch that the statue of liberty holds. Listen, we were with the protesters marching, talking to them. Youll hear some of that in a moment. They marched for nearly 15 miles for close to nine miles. The day was entirely peaceful. The night was chaotic. There were sirens going in every direction around midtown manhattan. Were going to start north of here in the bronx with some video that is graphic and disturbing to watch. Thats a warning. Here we go. Social media video taken early this morning shows a black sedan hitting a new York City Police officer in the bronx and then taking off. The officer was responding to reports of a break in. He was rushed to the hospital in serious condition. In midtown manhattan the looters moved in mobs. They removed plywood and broke in. Eventually police swarmed the door, sending protesters squam boling. In brooklyn, Peaceful Demonstrations. Crowds marched in defiance of the curfew order. Mariah hargrove is 14 years old. If we just stop, theyll think its okay. But we have to keep fighting for our rights. Reporter back in manhattan just hours earlier, a similar calm scene that stretched for miles. We need to make sure Everybody Knows that this isnt just an issue for people of color or our black fellow americans. This is a human issue, a human rights issue. Reporter back in manhattan when things started to get tense, chief Terrence Monahan stepped in. Hes the highest ranking uniform officer in the nypd and he single handedly deescalated the situation. We all know minnesota was wrong. This is our city. Our city. Reporter protesters asked him to kneel with them. They did, and hugged some of them, too. Tensions were high around the country. In saint louis, four officers were hit by gunfire during down town demonstrations. Philadelphia protesters climbed an embankment and police filed rubber bullets. In louisville, kentucky, Community Members gathered to honor a man who was killed on monday who police opened fire. Police say they were responding to gunfire from a crowd. None of the officers had turned on their body cameras and monday louisvilles mayor fired the chief of police. We have to think about how we allow poor communities to be policed, how we train our officers to respond. Reporter there is another protest tonight here in new york city. It starts at 8 00. Before last nights protest the last time that new york city imposed an official curfew was 1943. And gayle, thats when there were protests up in harlem, and the reason that curfew was imposed was because protests broke out after a white Police Officer shot a black soldier. Its a familiar story that were hearing, david. There are layers and layers of pain on this story. I hope we all remain focused on what the real issue is. The medical examiner covering minneapolis is ruling that george employeds death was a homicide. This comes after an independent aups tee requested by employeds family and it showed he died from a lack of oxygen due to sustained pressure on his back and neck. Former Police OfficerDerek Chauvin is currently charged with third three murder, which means that he is accused of killing employed unintentionally. Where does the investigation stand somehow . Reporter it is ongoing as far as the other three officers are concerned. The big story has been these autopsies, the floyd family requested their own because they werent satisfied with the county autopsy, which they didnt think was sufficient. Nor do they think the charges against officer chauvin are sufficient. They want him charged with first degree murder. But in the meantime, here at the scene there have been protesters here nearly around the clock. This was the scenes surrounding the growing memorial for george floyd where he died in police custody. Hundreds of protesters gathered for a moment of unity and reflection, for several minutes they kneeled in silence. I just want to hear this again. Reporter thats floyds brother calling for an end to violence and looting. It was the first time any of floyds family members visited the site where he died. Im not over here blowing up stuff, if im not over here messing up my community, then what are yall doing . Because thats not going to bring my brother back at all. Reporter yesterday, the family released the results of its independent autopsy report, which found floyd died of asphyxiation caused by three officers kneeling on his back and neck, cutting off the flow of blood to his brain and air to his lungs. Attorney Benjamin Crump represents the family. I implore you all to join his family in taking a breath, taking a breath for our country, but more importantly, taking a breath for george. Reporter also yesterday, the county medical examiner released its updated findings, ruling that floyds death was a homicide. The report states floyd died from cardiac arrest, while being restrained by Law Enforcement. But it also points to hypertension and fentanyl intoxication, along with recent methamphetamine use as contributing factors. Meanwhile, protests in saint paul reached the steps of the Governors Mansion yesterday. Roughly 2,000 people calling for the arrest of the other three officers involved in floyds death. More than a half hour, Governor Tim Walz stood and listened. Reporter there will be a Memorial Service for george floyd later on this week on thursday here in minneapolis and then a Funeral Service next week in his home down of houston. Anthony.
