Which erupted across the nation after the death of george floyd, protests that are on their 17th straight day. What should have been an important event, the president made p a glaring emission, not inviting the top three Law Enforcement officials in the region. That is right, the police chief, sheriff, and district attorney. We are going to be talking to Marianne Brown in just a moment about that. It does come as trump describes the National Guard breaking up protests as a knife through butter. They went in and it was like a knife cutting butter right through. There was some tear gas and probably some other things and the crowd dispersed. They went through by the end of that evening and it was a short evening. Everything was fine. But if youre going to have to really do a job, if somebodys really bad, youre going to have to do it with real strength, real power. I said we have to dominate the street. Of course when you do send in, you know, tear gas and the military against Peaceful Protesters are not armed it is much like a knife through butter. Power, domination, knife through butter. Those are the images given by the president today. We begin our Coverage Today in new york city on day 17 of nationwide protests where Shimon Prokupecz is out front. I know there was the blocking of one of the major arteries through the new york city moments ago. What are you seeing . Reporter yeah, moments ag agago, erin we were at the holland tunnel and several hundred protesters that you can see here all around stood in front of the entrance to the holland tunnel, stopping traffic. Police shut down the tunnel and just stood by as many of the protesters chanted and were just allowed to express their frustration. Every night, this group comes out and they march. We went from the Washington Square park south on the west side highway. They took the entire southbound lane of the west side highway and they marched down to the holland tunnel. We are now here at foley square which they have filed into, a place where many of the protesters have been gathering for the last two weeks. But whats so important in all of this, erin, is just the energy. Weve been out here every night, and the energy just seems to grow and grow. It is hot. It rained today, and still all of these people have been coming out. They came out tonight. They came out last night. And the group behind me which has been organizing this, i spoke to him. One of the guys, hes only 21. His name is carlos polanco, hes from brooklyn. And every night he comes out here and organizing this effort. You can see hundreds of people night after night still coming out here, erin. All right. Thank you very much, shimon. Incredible when you think about it, 21 years old to be able to do that. Lets go to Kaitlan Collins out front at the white house. The president con if you remembering tonight hes finalizing an executive order on policing standards after that round table in dallas where the top three Law Enforcement officials were not invited. Did he offer real details on his plan . Reporter no, and so far the white house has been hesitant to say what theyll support as youre seeing the republicans rush to respond to overwhelming demands to some kind of police reform. The president did con if you remember he is working on an executive order but only gave broad outlines of what that could look like. And the white house has been hesitant to say as well. He talked about meeting professional standards when it comes to deescalation tactics or uses of force. But what was the most detail the president got into during that round table in dallas. You talked about what he said about confronting those protesters in places like minneapolis. He also talked about confronting bigotry overall in the nation, something that youve seen demands for. But the president said he was also concerned about americans wrongly being labelled as racist. That was something he voiced as he was sitting there with those leaders. There were Law Enforcement leaders from other towns nearby dallas, small had business owners, and faith leaders. But there were three key prominent officials that were not invited by the whouts, something that the white house confirmed to us. Thats the Dallas Police chief, the district attorney, and the sheriff, all not invited to the sitdown with the president tonight in dallas. Kaitlan, thank you very much. As kaitlan mentions, i want to go to the Dallas County sheriff, marion brown. Sheriff brown youre one of the top three Law Enforcement officials not invited to the president s event today. You happen to be black. All three of you happen to be black. The police chief of nearby Glenn Heights who was also black was invited. Why do you think the president didnt invite you . Well, im not sure. So, i can speculate as to why i was not invited, but what i will say is that when you initiate a conversation and you purport that conversation to be about racism and policing in america and you fail to include the top three Law Enforcement officials in an area where you are speaking, i think that that says a lot and that causes one to raise the brow. And, you know, to make the point, youre elected and youre a democrat. But if the president had invited you given that you are one of the top three Law Enforcements officials, would you have attended because of the nature of the conversation being about policing . I might have considered that simply because it is about policing. So, the president said at that event in dallas that shes finalizing an executive order and he said it will, quote encourage Police Departments nationwide to meet standards for force including tactics for deescalation. Do you have any idea as to what specifically hes talking about and do you think there could be Police Reforms that come out of this president , this white house, that could be good for dallas . No, i dont have any information related to what specific initiatives hes talking about. But again, i say that if youre not getting information from the people who know about policing, if youre not getting their input and if youre not sharing the information with them, then those are the very people who are going to be affected. And those are the very people who can implement initiatives. Those are the very people who need to be included in the conversation. All right. Well, i appreciate your time, sheriff. Thank you so very much. Thank you. And i want to go now to the Los Angeles MayorDemocrat Eric garcetti. I appreciate your time mayor garcetti. You just heard the conversation with the sheriff of dallas. The president is threatening your fellow mayor today, the mayor of seattle saying, quote, take back your city now. If you dont do it, i will. You just heard him talking about breaking protesters outside the white house as a knife through butter. But in seattle protesters have taken over part of the city. So, whats happening in seattle were happening in l. A. , how would you respond to the president . Would you welcome his words and intervention . No, its political pyromania. This is not somebody who wants to lower the temperature or move progress forward. He wants to turn up the heat. The language that he uses is wrong. The Healing Energy is not there. And he has power to do things today. It is his Justice Department that has not moved forward a single Consent Decree for Police Departments, something los angeles went through that made us better and helped us reduce failed Police Shootings here, be more community oriented, get more reflective Police Officers. This is somebody more interested in scoring political points and pointing out who he excludes rather than who he includes. I always hold out hope someone can do the right thing. I urge him to get out of his bunker, do the right thing, and stop criticizing others when you have immense power to make change at this moment. Youre either going to miss this moment or meet the moment and hes missing it. He used the word dominate. He used the words knife through butter. Here is what he said tonight. If you think about it, were dominating the street with compassion because were saving lives and were saving businesses. Were saving families from being wiped out after working hard for 20 and 30 years. So, he talked about dominating with compassion. Do those two words is there any way that they go together in this context, to dominate the streets with compassion, mayor gua garcetti . I dont think any of us who exercise compassion try to dominate with compassion. It just shows the heart of what this administration has been about. Its about winning at all costs. Its been about dividing us. We need to heal the soul of america right now. We need to step forward into a true multiracial democracy, and we need to look at compassion as something we understand when we listen to how africanamericans not just with interactions with Police Departments but grow up with less wealth, theyre more likely to be sick, homeless, undereducated, unemployed simply by where they are born and the color of their skin. If we are serious about moving this entire country forward for all of us, and im optimistic theres Common Ground for the first time in a long time, its time to do that. The federal government that has the biggest budget of all instead of bringing tax cuts to the most wealthy people in america should be putting that into education, Mental Health, Community Safety in new and reimagined ways. There have been calls across the country to defund the police. We just saw the signs in new york city. Black lives matters is calling on you to cut the budget by 90 . You say you dont support that but you have talk about shifting money from the lapd to black communities. Heres what President Trump said tonight about defunding the police. Well take care of our police. Well take were fiat had defunding the police. If anything were going the other route. Were going to make sure our police are well trained, perfectly trained, have the best equipment. So, hes making it clear that training and equipment costs money, maybe more money, whereas youre going to be cutting their budget. Whats your response . Its just a false dichotomy that the president put forward. You can support Public Safety and reimagine it at the same time. You can make sure that the heroic moments where we need Police Officers to intervene to help people who have been the victims of Violent Crimes or caught in sex trafficking or Domestic Violence situations are there. But should we be putting our Police Officers on the line to solve Mental Health problems, to deal with homelessness, to solve what need investments in education, health care, and social workers rather than just always putting that on the backs of our Police Officers. So, i think hes fundamentally missing this point and missing this moment that this is something that americans are calling out for of every color to say yes, of course, we want safe communities. Were proud of progress thats been made in many departments. But still theres a fundamentally different interaction that Many Americans have with Public Safety, and maybe theres a smarter way thats better for our Police Officers and the public to look at our future. When the protests began, you proposed a 7 spending increase for the lapd. The rate of inflation took up our Police Budget but we were going to be 100 officers down. Weve grown by 50 . Programs like youth intervention while the Police Department has been the same or gone down in the terms of the number of people. Budgets have grown. Other parts of the budget grew by even more than that. For instance, homelessness budget by more than 2,000 . But this is a moment that we have to go even more. We have to accelerate even further. If people dont hear that on the streets, if they dont see that in america right now, theyre missing this moment. So, its not an awakening, its an acceleration. And i think all leaders need to rise to the occasion certainly from the white house down. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time tonight. As always. Thank you erin.

New tonight two black teens handcuffed, one placed under arrest for jaywalking. The actions of two tulsa Police Officers under investigation. The scene captured by body camera video. Walking down the middle of the road. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. Were not doing anything. Chill out, bro. What were you doing . Chill, man. What are you doing . Youre choking him, man. Nobodys choking him. Just chill out. Chill out, bro. Hey, man, why you putting your hands on him. Why you arresting him . Why are you putting handcuffs on him . Because . Why are you putting handcuffs on him . All he was doing was jaywalking. Unlike the first teen you saw forced on his stomach, the second teen is handcuffed without a struggle while standing. Out front the attorney for those two teens. Were seeing the 48 seconds as this is happening. What can you tell us about the events leading up to the video . Erin thank you for having me on. What i can tell you is that these two young men were not doing anything illegal, wrong, and they do not deserve what happened to them. They were simply walking over to a relatives home, minding their own business. They were not jaywalking. They had no reason for the police to contact them. They had no probable cause. Its an outrage. So, you know, the mayor of tulsa said in a statement im going to quote i want every kid in tulsa to feel safe to walk down the street in their neighborhood. No tulsa kid should have to fear being tackled and cuffed walking down the street. I viewed that footage last night more as a parent than a mayor. The incident is under investigation. What do you think should happen to the officers or what would you hope happens to the officers . First of all, we need our mayor to be a mayor and to lead and to have discipline on these officers. We want these officers to be held accountable for their unconstitutional activity with these two young men. This is a 13yearold kid and a 15yearold kid who had unnecessary police contact. Erin, this is how this happens. This is how we see things go crazy with george floyd or my client terrence who was shot with his hands up where you have this unnecessary police contact. So, we would like to see accountability here. We want these officers to be disciplined. We want these charges, these bogus false charges to be dropped on my clients, and we want the city to pay for my clients medical bills and counseling. So, you raised the age of these young men, these boys, 13 and 15 years old. One of them accusing the officers of targeting because of his race, we could hear in the video. When we talk about the age of these kids, i spoke to the son of Javier Ambler, the black man who died while being arrested by officers in texas last year. Here is some of what his son told me. I cant see a white officer in a uniform the same way. I cant see anything that was caused in my fathers situation the same way. It makes me look at everything different. I dont wish this on nobody to lose their parent. You know, what message do you think is being sent when you look at what happened to Javier Ambler to young black men across this country, people like your clients . Well, the message that i hope is being sent to america, that we need Real Police Accountability and reform. We need the package of bills in front of the house of representatives to be passed and signed into law. We need real accountability. We need this to stop. More than anything else, that young man you just played, hearing his sound and his voice, ive sat in so many homes and clients who had the same feeling including these young men. Now, luckily and blessedly, they were not killed but they feel the same fear. Their lives will never be the same. They have ptsd. Their mother who is a hardworking medical professional working as a essential worker in covid19, she has not slept for a week. She is so fearful for her children. This is something that is an epidemic. We know covid19 is a virus but the largest long standing virus in america is racism, specifically antiblack White Supremacy and discrimination. We need that to end. We dont need any more videos of showing this trauma to black people, period. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you so much, erin, thank you.

Thats the stark warning from the former director of the cdc when it comes to stopping the spread of coronavirus. Thomas freedman will be my guest in a few moments. But first nick watt is out front. I am more concerned about covid19 in South Carolina than i have ever been before. Reporter shes not alone, in South Carolina where the average daily case count just doubled inside of a week is also not alone. In texas, 2,100 were hospitalized yesterday, the highest number since this pandemic began. We are seeing the appearance of additional infections, particularly in the areas that are opening. If we handle them well, we could be okay. If not, then we really have a significant problem. In maricopa county, arizona, a quarter of all of their covid cases have come in just this past week. We have hit so many of the records you dont want to be hitting for covid19 from my perspective. We opened too much too early so our hospitals are really struggling. A reminder of how bad this virus can be, a woman in her 20s with covid just had a double lung transplant, a first. She smiled and told me just one sentence. She said, doc, thank you for not giving up on me. Reporter those wellknown university of washington modelers now say the daily death toll across the country will drop in june and july, stabilize in argue, then rise sharply. By october 1, they project nearly 170,000 americans will be dead, killed by covid. And we wont be done. Well have many, many more months to go. Its really stunning to me that we have this much suffering and death and were just not doing enough about it. Reporter but what can we do as individuals . If you get the majority of people Wearing Masks, the virus has nowhere to go. Reporter take this hair salon in missouri, two sick stylists potentially exposed 140 people to the virus but none of them has since tested positive. Officials think that might be because everyone wore masks. If President Trump did one thing, if he wore a mask and encouraged his supporters to wear a mask for three weeks straight, we would be sitting here five or six weeks from now with much of this virus behind us. Reporter now here in Los Angeles County we have seen our case count nearly double this past month. But tomorrow, gyms, museums, movie theaters, zoos, movie production will all reopen, but this could be key. In Los Angeles County, masks were, are and will continue to be mandatory whenever you leave your house. Erin. All right, nick, thank you very much. I want to go out front now to former director of the cdc under president obama thomas freedman. Youve been very blunt here with your warnings. Why do you think the United States is failing in how it is right now fighting coronavirus . I think we can make a lot more progress. We work in my organization around the world and we see the best practices. And the places that are trusting Public Health, that are guided by Public Health and supporting Public Health are starting their economies sooner and safer. We need to track a different set of measurements than were tracking now. We need metrics that matter so we can start safer. And that includes simple things like what was the amount of time between when someone felt sick and they got isolated. This isnt about shutting everyone down. This is about shutting the virus down. If we do that better, we can start safer, get our economy back, and not have a big resurgence of the virus. And thats exactly what you think is about to happen. I mean certainly weve obviously seen hospitalization rates go up. But is that what you think were seeing right now, a resurgence or emergence in certain parts of the country that had not seen it really in a major way before . Were seeing very different trends in different parts of the u. S. And its important to look past the case numbers. Were only diagnosing 10 , maybe 20 of all the cases. So, looking at changes in numbers without looking at trends, percent positive, trends in positivity, where the positive cases are, what the diagnostic criteria, youre not going to get a good understanding of whats happening. There are at least a half dozen states in the u. S. Where cases are increasing and we have to take steps to protect people. That means boxing the virus in, protecting those with symptoms, Contact Tracing so we warn people that theyve been exposed and quarantining contacts so that the virus is in its place and we can get out into the open more. So, you know, doctor ashish jha, i know you know him, director of the global Harvard Health institute, he said that we could see another 100,000 deaths by the end of the summer. That would be, you know you have the surge, right . The epidemic. Everything was shut down. You had 100 deaths in that time. Hes saying in about the same amount of time, you could have the same amount of death. Thats a pretty damning thing to say. Do you think that thats possible . Anyone who predicts whats going to happen with this virus more than a few weeks out really doesnt know much about this virus. What we can say and what we released today is unfort nately and unevidently within a month there will be deaths within u. S. Thats from the people already infected. What we do know is that models should change what we do. Models arent about predicting how many people are going to die like some gruesome lottery. Models are about saying if we do this, we can do better. Three ws, wear a mask, wash your hands, and watch your distance. If we can do those things, we can reduce the spread. And the specific study of whats going on with the virus. When there are exposures, where is it spreading so we can go in and reduce that risk. Thats what Public Health does. It is a road to reopening more safely, erin. So, President Trump has spoken about this differently. Obviously you talk about in that piece hearing if you would just wear a mask. Of course everyones been saying that. Heres what he said less than one week ago about the virus. We may have some embers or some ashes or we may have some flames coming, but well put them out. Well stomp them out. We understand this now. Well stomp them out and well stomp them out very, very powerfully. What do you say to that . There may be embers or ashes, we may have flames coming, but well just stomp them out. Thats what we should be able to do with strategic testing, effective isolation, complete Contact Tracing and effective quarantine, supporting patients, supporting contacts, warning people theyve been exposed. That is what we should be able to do. But to do that we need to scale up the systems. We need to monitor the right things. Are we testing the right people at the right time and doing the right thing . If we do that, we can start safer without having increase in cases. And should is not are. You know, you also have not just the president not wearing a mask but Vice President pence who leads the Coronavirus Task force tweeted and then deleted this picture. Ill show it in case you havent seen it, tom, of himself and Trump Campaign staffers. People are not social distancing. People are not wearing face masks. What kind of message does this send . When all of us wear a mask, particularly indoors when youre within six feet of somebody else in a community where theres covid spreading, when all of us wear a mask in that situation, all of us are safer. Its the responsible thing to do. So, are enough people Wearing Masks when you look at the protests around the country to make you think there wont be a surge because of protests or not . When we look at the protests, there are things that make us worried and things that are a little reassuring. Theyre outdoors. Spread outdoors is by one estimate 19 times less likely than spread indoors. Most people, overwhelming majority, were Wearing Masks. Helpful. On the other hand weve seen tear gas, people coughing, people kettled into small locations, people arrested and in jails where its indoors, lots of potential for spread. The bigger concern is do we have the systems protest or no protest. Do we have the systems in place to track whether were really doing the right thing. There are very few places around the country that are publicly reporting the kind of data that we think the public deserves to know whether its local Health Department is doing what it needs to do to keep them safe. Thank you very much. Sobering warning of how far we need to go, how much more vigilant to be. Thank you. And next the nations top general apologizing for taking part in trumps Church Photo Op after those Peaceful Protesters were forcefully cleared like a knife through butter. Plus a disturbing update on a 75yearold man. The man that the president said fell harder than he was pushed, sort of asking, trying to get pushed over by police.

Tell lawmakers and Governor Newsom dont cut our students future. Pass a state budget that protects our public schools. Tonight the nations top general is apologizing, apologizing for appearing in that photo op with President Trump, following the forceful dispersal of the Peaceful Protesters from Lafayette Square last week. Here he is. I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved and domestic politics. As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake. Out front now, Lieutenant General mark kurtling. I appreciate your time tonight. When he made the apology, he decided to make it. He came ought straight to camera, said he made a camera, said he was wrong. That follows mark esper distancing himself from the photo op. How significant is this public clear apology from general milley . I believe it was extremely significant. It was extremely forceful. His words were succinct and direct. And it was a tough thing given the audience he was talking to. But it was more than the graduates of the National War College and industrial colleges of the armed forces. He was basically talking to the American People as well, reminding them of what the requirements are of a professional soldier in a democratic republic. Right, right. And he made a mistake, and when he made it, owning. I guess the question for you is to how tenable is it for secretary esper and general milley to serve following the breaks with the commander in chief . Its going to be tough, no doubt about it. You have to consider what is general milleys role. Many americans dont understand his position as the chairman of the joint chiefs. He not only represents the military. He doesnt command the military forces. He also is the key person that provides guidance to the president and to the secretary of defense and the other members of the National Security council. So, he probably has lost a great deal of credentials with the president and he doesnt take advice anyway. I think he has probably lost a little bit of credibility with the president , but hes reminded the members of the military of what their responsibilities are to the constitution. And that is to obey that constitution and live under the guidance thats in their open. So, Vice President biden said that if President Trump lost the election but refused to leave office these are major hypotheticals biden continued to say he is convinced the military would escort the president out of the white house. Whats your reaction to that . Yeah, i saw that comment this morning too and cringed a little bit. What i would say is first of all its sad that we even have to be in a position that we might be debating and discussing the possibility of such actions. But secondly, its really the requirement of the American People to hold the president responsible for giving up office. And thats exhibited through the court system, the congress, and the department of justice. The military doesnt get involved in removing people from position. That happens in dictatorships. What we would have is a peaceful transfer of power, hopefully. Thats what weve always experienced. But if not, theres other ways to force a president out of office. General, i appreciate your time. It is good to see you. Good to see you too, erin. Next the 75yearold man who was shoved to ground by police in buffalo now we understand has a brain injury and his friend is going to join me next. Plus how George Floyds death became a turning point in the debate over confederate symbols and names.
