A lot of breaking news. As we come on the air, we are awaiting a News Conference from the mayor of columbus, ohio. That is expected to begin at any moment. It comes today after the Fatal Police Shooting of 16yearold maciah bryant after Police Answered a call of an attempted stabbing. Police have body cam video of those shots fired. Protesters immediately filled the streets around that scene. City officials are pleading for patience and calm. We will have the mayors News Conference for you as soon as it begins, which, again, should be any moment. Meantime Derek Chauvin is spending his first full day in an orange jumpsuit locked in a cell inside a maximum security prison. But yesterdays verdict, chauvin taken away in handcuffs isnt the end of this story by a long shot. For the floyd family and for advocates of systemic reform of policing in america, it is just the beginning. And to that end today, attorney general Merrick Garland announced a sweeping investigation into the Minneapolis Police department. The investigation i am announcing today will assess whether the Minneapolis Police department engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force, including during protests. The investigation will also assess whether the mpd engages in discriminatory conduct and whether its treatment of those with Behavioral Health disabilities is unlawful. It will include a comprehensive review of the Minneapolis Police departments policies, training, supervision and use of force investigations. Today also marks the beginning of the next court battle in the Derek Chauvin case, his prison sentence, exactly how much time he will get and whether the judge will add time based on aggregating factors that the prosecution merit a longer sentence, factors including that George Floyds murder happened in front of children and that chauvin abused his position of authority as a Police Officer. Much more on that in just a second. It also marks a turn toward the trial this summer of the other three officers charged in George Floyds death and what Derek Chauvins verdict means for them. Joining me now is nbc news correspondent Gabe Gutierrez who remains in minneapolis, former chief public defender for Hennepin County, Mary Moriarty, and the president of Action Network and host of msnbcs politics nation, reverend al sharpton. We want to get word about the shooting in ohio yesterday. Lets go there. We want to talk about the bodyworn cameras and the facts we know and we can share. Were going to increase the use of the body cam video we can show today. Last night we showed you a short snippet of one officers video. Today well be playing three videos of the officers, the first officers to arrive on scene and the offers who were at scene when the shooting took place. The full video will be available to you through the Public Records release process that has already been conducted, so that video is ready for you to pick up. Were also going to play two 911 calls that we received. Those were the only two calls we received related to this incident. I want to provide you with some Additional Information that we have, officers lifesaving attempts and measures almost immediately after the shots were fired. Those included an assessment of injuries and wounds and cpr. There is a switch between officers providing cpr. One officer conducted cpr for several minutes and was relieved by a second officer. 90 seconds after the shots were fired, the fire alarm notice was notified that we need a medic at that scene. Six minutes after the shots were fired, a madison township medic arrived at scene and performed lifesaving measures to include transport to mt. Carmel east hospital. Are we ready with the 911 calls . Well first play the first 911 calls so you have that information. 911, where is your emergency . 7171 region lane. Do you have an apartment number . Whats going on . [ inaudible ] are you going to talk to me . We got some girls trying to fight us, trying to stab us, putting hands on our grandma. Get here now doing what, maam . Maam, do you see any weapons . We need a Police Officer here now. Do you see any weapons . We need an officer here now. No the remaining time on that audio will just be a dial tone, but again, youll have that full information. Well play the second call now. 911, whats the address of your emergency . Its on legion lane. Whats the emergency there . Well, never mind, the police are already here. Never mind, thank you. Again, those are the only two 911 calls we received and we did not receive any 64549 Emergency Line calls. Just for some Additional Information, we received that first call at 4 32 p. M. Officers were dispatched at 4 35 p. M. , and the first officers arrived at scene at 4 44 p. M. The first video were going to show you is from officer nicholas reardon. Officer reardon was working a oneofficer car. He was hired in december of 2019. He is currently assigned to zone 2, second shift, and he is the officer that discharged his firearm. Forgive us, were going to come out of this News Conference for just a moment because we havent seen that body cam footage and we want to be able to screen it first to make sure were not showing you anything that is too graphic. So give us a moment to get through that. We will get it to you as soon as. But i do want to get into some of the facts of this case and update all of you where it stands right now. Lets bring in msnbc Law Enforcement analyst Cedric Alexander. He is the past president of the organization of black exeutives and a former member of president obamas task force on policing. Cedric, its good to see you. We do still have the other panel on george floyd and Derek Chauvin standing by, but lets take a break to talk about what happened here. This happened yesterday right before the verdict was read in the Derek Chauvin case. It is an officer that pulled up to a scene, saw a girl, bryant, according to the police seemingly lunging at another girl with a knife, and that officer opened fire. When you see the body cam footage, what is your response . Do you have any concerns about how the officer made that split second decision . Is there Something Else he could have done . Well, i think its important to know the first thing that happened here, is that the chief did something very important here. He allowed information out as quickly as he could, as much information as they were able to give out to the public. That is hugely important any time you have an officerinvolved shooting. Each case is going to be very different. Lets go to the scene of the limited amount of video weve been able to see thus far. Any time that someone is a threat to injury to another person or to that officer, he or she, that officer has the right to protect the public and they have the right to protect themselves. It is unfortunate, it is hugely unfortunate, that it had to be a 16yearold child or anyone, for that matter. But had that officer not reacted based on his training, based on the circumstances, based on how that unfolded as quickly as it did in close proximity to each other, he made a decision to use deadly force. Now, heres another piece thats going to be very important in this. This is going to need to be an investigation that i hope is going to be conducted by an outside source other than columbus pd itself. That, too, will give credibility to the investigation, and that investigation has formed unity ongoing as to what is developing, where that investigation is at that time. So i think its very important for us not to get too far ahead of the video that were looking at, because theres going to be other video and other witness statements thats going to be introduced, but i think at the end of the day of this, based on limited information that we have, weve got to allow this investigation to carry itself out, but certainly in answer to your question, that officer has the right to protect others and he has a right to protect himself. So we do have the footage that the Columbus Police released yesterday. Again, we are reviewing what they are releasing right now. Well get it to you as soon as we possibly can. But let us show you the edited portions of body camera footage last night showing the Fatal Shooting of maciah bryant. A warning that this footage is pretty disturbing. Whats going on . Hey, hey, hey get down, get down so we stopped it right before the shots were fired. Police officers say in that last frame you just saw, it appears that bryant was lunging at another girl with a knife. Obviously the investigation weve been talking about, cedric, is still ongoing. The timing, though, is inflaming tensions around the country, especially given what just happened with Derek Chauvin. There are a number of protesters on the street regarding what they saw there, and there are a lot of people out there who are saying, why not use a taser . Why is the first thing that happens the pulling of a gun . That officer had to make an assessment whether a taser was appropriate to use. When you have someone in close proximity and theyre right on top of you, that taser is not going to be effective. He had to make that decision in the moment itself. But here again, we have to allow this investigation to take effect so that we can get other angles, get other witness interpretation. Officers have to look at that whole scene to see how it came together. Unfortunately, were in a place in this country where police and Community Relations are clearly at a very difficult place and have been for some time. This is not new, to be perfectly honest with you, but this is where we are at this particular moment. We also have to remember, weve got 18,000 Police Departments out there at this very moment, 800,000 Police Officers who are enforcing laws across this country. So what is the likelihood of another event happening in this country . It could happen at any time. So we, as a nation, we as people who are witnessing are able to have the Technology Today that can bring us right to what happened, anyway, but we have to make sure that we step back, because at the end of the day, we want a case to be thoroughly and trustworthily investigated so people can feel good about what that outcome may be. At this time things are tense. Even though you had a guilty conviction yesterday in this country, this is not a hail mary. This is not a highfive moment in this nation around things being okay. We have to keep our foot on the gas. Reform and reimagining policing are, in my opinion i dont even call it that anymore. I refer to it as we need to redefine public safety, what it looks like in this country and what we want it to be. But this is the beginning of an investigation that is going to certainly play itself out over the next few days. Lets bring in reverend al sharpton. Rev, i know youve been listening along and ced has been making good appointments about letting the investigation unfold and the differences that were seeing in this case and what we saw with Derek Chauvin. But as you know, and what cedric has alluded to, there is a lot of tension right now between the community and the police and a lot of mistrust. Part of that stems from the way incidents are described unless there is video showing otherwise. For instance, in the george floyd case, just taking the Minneapolis Polices word for it after it happened, their press release described it not at all like that camera footage showed. Man dies after medical incident during police interaction. They say nothing about the subdual, they say nothing about Derek Chauvins knee on George Floyds neck. It was very sanitized, and, frankly, very misleading when we got the initial report from the Minneapolis Police, which was defied by all of that video we saw. So when people are looking at a video like we are seeing right now, that body cam footage, and the video we are about to see, the additional body cam footage, how do you how do you balance the need to be a little wary of statements from the police but also allow it to give time for the police and outside investigators to conduct an investigation into exactly what happened . That is the price were paying for the distortions that Police Departments like here in minneapolis has done, and that is why many of us that have been activists and advocates have said theyre the ones that broke the trust. What do you tell people when we, less than 24 hours ago, saw a policeman convicted of two counts of murder and one of manslaughter when the initial reports was the exact opposite of that . Im in a car right now going to the wake of Daunte Wright who was killed by a policewoman here in brooklyn station in minnesota right in the same district that george floyd was killed in, and she is a 26year veteran, said she thought her gun was a taser, and were doing his funeral tomorrow. Im going to accompany his family to the wake to see his body for the first time. So these things keep happening, and the Police Records are distorted, and in some cases, appear to be fabricated. But at the same time it doesnt mean that all of them are. How do you judge which ones . The family in columbus have reached out to us. Were going to be looking at that network, but we cant get out of the george floyd case without a funeral for another Police Victim right here in minneapolis. And before we got the verdict last night, the floyd family and i and attorney ben crump, we hear that was going on in ohio. That is why, katy, we must have federal law. We need to deal with federal guidelines on policing that operate in 50 states so that we do not end up going to this almost state by state. It reminds us of state rights at the end of the day about how to interpret policing. It is tearing the very fabric of this Company Apart in terms of people we trust and pay to serve and protect. Were still watching that News Conference in columbus with the police chief there. Well go back in after the video is over. We apologize to viewers but we do want to screen it first. Its pretty consistent with how we approach these sorts of things. Cedric, in talking about Police Approach so far, were seeing something similar to what we saw in Brooklyn Center which is the police chief and local officials coming out immediately and saying, here is the entire context. Were putting it out there in the Public Record so Everybody Knows what happens from our perspective. It did not go well with Brooklyn Center. The police chief resigned, and new leadership has been installed there. How do you feel this is playing out so far . And again, i know we cut off the point where we saw that body cam footage. It goes right to the essence of what ive been saying for months and for years, quite frankly. Policing in this country has lost a lot of its legitimacy. Reverend al is right, its because of police themselves who have put themselves in that position, not the community. So what were in at this very moment is a society in communities across this country that just find it very hard to believe anything that police are saying, especially when they report on themselves. Now, heres what we do. Any time that we have a shoot, and we learned this back in 2015, its important to get out to the public what we know at this point. We have to be forthright, we have to be truthful and we cannot exaggerate it or make it something that it is not. Heres what we know up to this point. Because the public wants to know. But the problem is here at this very moment, we are undercovering, and its been revealed that there are reports written by police that are written in favor of the police in what they report. This is why it is so important that doing these investigations, yes, as a chief you can say to the public, heres what we know up to this point, but there needs to be an outside entity that begins to look into these investigations and can do it in a way that is not a way that is nonbiased, because the problem becomes people do not trust at this moment what police are saying and what police is writing. And the reverend is right, if you look at all these events that are going on, we get out of one, we actually dont get out of any of them, one is happening one behind the other. But it becomes important, though, as a community that we still have to maintain a level of decorum where we have to allow for some Reputable Organization to come in, whether its the state or the feds that come in and do an investigation and do it fairly. Now, another piece thats important in all of this as well. There needs to be federal regulations across this country of how Police Departments are going to function. Early in my career, midway in my career, i would not have told you that. But where i am and what i send back and i see today, the problem is you have 50 states, you have 18,000 <
