Ifill still to come on the newshour a black Dallas Police officers message to other Police Officers and to president obama. Its politics monday what to expect in the week leading up to the republican nominating convention, natos tentative support for ukraine against russia, and much more. Woodruff the past week has underscored just how deep some of the dividing lines are in the country, and none more so than when it comes to Law Enforcement and criminal justice. Africanamerican police are walking an especially difficult tightrope. Hari sreenivasan spoke this weekend with lieutenant Thomas Glover, hes the president of the black police associate of greater dallas. Sreenivasan whats happened to this city in the last couple of days . I dont know. I think its symptomatic of a move that may be sweeping the country. Its symbolic of people crying out to get the people in charge to listen to them, and i think we will have to listen this time. Sreenivasan these were your fellow officers. These are people you served on the force with, your friends. Yes. One of them was a subordinate of mine for about a year, three years ago, and i know him and love him dearly, and, again, i am extremely staidenned saddened by the fact that five officers lost their lives in the city of dallas, and it took this to get attention to a problem that people have been screaming about for years, Violence Toward the police is not the answer, it has never been the answer, and it will never be the answer. Sreenivasan are the concerns of africanamerican communities in the United States right now against Police Departments and how the police are treating them, are they legitimate . Yes, i think so, definitely. I would be a fool to sit here and deny that. I have been pulled over and profiled. I used to own a vehicle that had 22inch rims, totally black, blacked out with dark, tinted windows, and over the fouryear period i drove it, i probably got stopped half a dozen times, and most of it was five, six, eight blocks from my church. When you state that they are not legitimate, people want to paint you as being antipolice, antiLaw Enforcement. Well, im pro police, im proLaw Enforcement, im antipolice misconduct. I am antipolice mistreatment. I am antipolice discrimination. When there is misconduct, the officer needs to be, ill use the word crucified, because when one officer, whether it be in a small town in new jersey or a major city on the west coast or a midsized city in central United States, anytime an officer commits misconduct, it reflects what i have to deal with, what almost a million other Police Officers have to deal with around the country. Sreenivasan when you see a video or videos like the ones that came out this week, as a member of the africanamerican community, that could have been a member of your family, what goes through you. Im appalled that it happened. Ill be honest, i didnt cry, the first one i saw in baton rouge. I was very concerned. But the second i saw in minnesota, i was sitting on my couch at home and i began to cry because i knew it was symbolic of a major problem we have in this country. As an africanamerican Police Officer, every day you serve, its almost like youre serving two masters. I hate to be so straightforward many people expect us from the blue side, and i mean Law Enforcement, to be quiet, to walk a tight rope and to just be indifferent. On the other hand, in your community, you are expected to make a difference. I know in all my years ive heard it, and now i have people calling me saying, improver, we told you so. You see it . A guy got shot in the back running away from a Police Officer, and he never would have been in trouble had no someone covertly recorded it on a cell phone video, and all i can do is say, yeah, youre right. We become adept at doing both of them very well. We do the police job extremely well, and we live in our community extremely well, but sometimes and often as many as when you talk to africanamerican Police Officers, its one of the most grueling and taxing things you can do as a human, and you saw it in a video that went viral on facebook this week where the africanamerican mother, who was a member of a Police Department in ohio somewhere near cleveland, a sevenminute video of her screaming and she is vehemently and emphatically denouncing the fact that she thinks very poorly, and i do, too, of someone who polices our community, whether they be black, pink, purple or green and are so full of fear, so full of fear that they mistreat people. Sreenivasan when the president comes, what do you want to say to him . What do you want him to do . Mr. President , do the right thing. Im telling you as a 35year africanamerican Police Officer that there are problems in the way we police in the black community, and i think you need to take that charge, mr. President , an do whatever is necessary to incite congress to pass laws that would allow us to rid the Law Enforcement and the Police Profession of these type of people. Woodruff now, we get several views about this moment. The dividing lines and calls on all sides for change. Kasim reed is the mayor of atlanta, and has been dealing with protests throughout the weekend. The reverend jesse jackson, founder and president of the rainbow push coalition, and one of the countrys most wellknown civil rights leaders. Deray mckesson, an activist and a cofounder of black lives matter, he was arrested and released after protests in baton rouge this weekend. And julian zelizer, a professor of history at princeton university, he is the author of the fierce urgency of now, a book about the battles over civil rights and the great society. We welcome all of you to the program. Let me start with you Deray Mckesson. Listening to we just heard from lieutenant Thomas Glover in dallas. How divide is this country, based on what youve seen there in louisiana over the weekend . Where are we right now . So i dont think any of the division or the tension is new. What is new is that were finally having a public conversation about this stuff. So when we think about the protests over the last 22 months, we force the issues of race, criminal justice to the forefront, specifically focus on police violence. Im hopeful more Police Officers and Police Chiefs and unions will come out acknowledging the culture of the Police Departments are broken and there has to be change. E police dont get to operate under a shadow Justice System and we can live in a world where police dont kill people. Woodruff mayor kasim reed, you were dealing with protesters in atlanta over the weekend. What did you see . And did you see these conversations going on across the country and in your city making a difference right now . What i saw was an expression of grief and pain and frustration that needed to be addressed, and i saw peoples First Amendment rights needed to be respected. We had 15,000 protesters since thursday evening through today, and i couldnt be prouder of our Law Enforcement officials, the atlanta Police Department and the Georgia State patrol. Weve had peaceful protests. We have had minimal damage to property, and i think that we have had respect on both sides of the conversation, and weve had less than 25 people arrested. We take great pride in atlanta in being the home of dr. Martin luther king and others in the United States like ambassador andrew young and congressman john lewis, and thats the way we approach the protest and it made the difference in how the weekend turned out. Woodruff reverend jesse jackson, from the perspective you have from going back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, how do you look on the protests of today and how much progress do you see having been made . Well, the protests are very legitimate. We have seen that we matter. When Trayvon Martin is killed and the killer walks away, when rodney king is beaten on his own camera and those beaten walk away and garner is killed and they walk away. There is a lack of consequences, and thats a parent. Theres a combination, not just police. The federation of police who control the discipline as well as states attorneys and judges, th
