- IN THE POLICE FORCE.R COLLEAGUES - SHE ALSO WORKED WELL WITHIN IN - THE COMMUNITY, THE COMMUNITIES - THAT SHE SERVED. - SHE WAS KNOWN TO BE TOUGH ON - CRIME. - HER FIRST YEAR IN THE ROLE OF - POLICE CHIEF SERVING IN 2017 - THAT ENTIRE YEAR SHE BROUGHT - DOWN MAJOR CRIMES BY 8%, - ACCORDING TO F.B.I. STATISTICS. - SHE ALSO BROUGHT DOWN MURDERS BY - 29%. - BUT SHE WAS ALSO KNOWN TO BE - COMPASSIONATE AND SHE WAS KNOWN - TO BE LISTENER IN THE - COMMUNITY THAT SHE WOULD, YOU - KNOWOVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS - DURING THE PROTESTS SURROUNDING - THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD, SHE - WAS ACTUALLY SETH OUT THERE AT - PROTESTS TALKING TO - DEMONSTRATORS AND MORE - IMPTANTLY, LISTENING TO - DEMONSTRATORS. - SO IT WAS SOMEWHAT OF A SURPRISE - MR. BROOKS ON A FRIDAY NIGHT, BY - SATHEURDAY MORNING,.A.A.C.P. - OF GEORGIA WAS CALLING FOR HER - TO IMMEDIATELY STEP DOWN. - AND THEN BY 4:00 IN THE

- AFTERNOON, SHE OFFERED HER - RESIGNATION TO THE MAYOR. - >> Sreenivasan: YOU WERE IN A - SITION WHERE YOU WERE PART OF - THE CONVERSATION OF THE CITY IN - THE WAKE OF GEORGE FLOYD. - WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HOPEFUL - THINGS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD AND - SEEN ABOUT PEOPLE COMING TO SOME - AGREEMENTS? - AND WHAT IS THE EVENTSF THELA - 24, 36 HOURS DO TO THAT? - POSITIVE IS THE FACT THAT THERE - HAVE BEEN SOANY PEOPLE OF ALL - RACES AND BACKGROUNDS, - SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS THAT - HAVE COME OUT TO PROTEST AND - THEY ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. - THE PROTESTS HAVE CONTINUED - RELIGIOUSLY. - DAY AFTEDAY IN THIS CITY AND - PEOPM LE SRE UNIFIED THAN - EVER AS A CITY TO ADDRESS THIS - PROBLEM. - AND THAT IS A POWERFUL THING TO - SAY THAT THAT DIDN'T JUST END - AFTER THE ARREST OF THE OFFICERS - IN MINNEAPOLIS.

- SO, THAT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL - TO SEE. - THIS MOMENT, I THINK IS GOING TO - CAUSE MORE GROWTH, ULTIMATELY - MORE GROWTH, BUT IT HURT, IT - HURT THE COMMUNITY, YOU SAW THAT - WHEN YOU SAW THAT RAGE COME OUT - LAST NIGHT IN THE PROTESTS. - THIMORNING, LOOKING AT THE - SCENE AROUND WENDY'S WHERE - MR. BROOKS DIED, WHERE THERE - WILL BE THE SCENE OF MO - PROTESTS TO - YOU SAW PEOPLE COME OUT. - THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT - ARE GKING PICTURES AND WALKIN - AROUND TALKING. - THERE IS A SENSE OF JUST SADNESS - AROUND THAT SCENE TODAY. - SO, TO SAY PEOPLARE SICK AND - TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED IS - REALLY AN UNDERSTATEMENT - THERE WAS JUST A SORROW THAT IS - GOING THROUGH THAT COMMUNITY - RIGHT NOW. - THE PEOPLE THAT WERE OUT THERE - ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY - MORNING, A VERY PEACEFUL ONE, - BUT .JUST S - AND SO, I THINK WE HAVE A LONG - ANY TO GO IN A IN TERMS OF - BEGINNING TO BUILD TRUST WITH - THE POLICE.

- >> Sreenivasan: LEAH FLEMING - FROM GEORGIA PUBLIC - BROADCASTING. - THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. - >> THANK SOU SO MUCH. - reenivasan: JOINING ME NOW - IS THE PRESIDENT AND C.E.O. OF - THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE AND - FORMER MAYOR OF NEW ORLEANS MARC - MORIAL. - MARC, WE'RE JUST A COUPLE OF - WEEKS AFTER GEORGE FLOYD, AFTER - ATLANTA SAW THE PROTESTS. - THE RESPONSE. - AND HERE WE ARE, ANOTHER USE OF - DEADLY FORCE VIDEO THAT SHOWSP - WHAT GOES THROUGH YOUR MIND, YOU - A LOT OF PAIN, A LOT - HURT. - A LOT OF, HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? - IS MY IMMEDIATECOESPONSE, BUT - D TO THAT, IT UNDERSCORES - WHY WE NEED A REIMAGINATION, A - RESTRUCTURING AND A NE - ACCOUNTALITY SYSTEM FOR - AMERICAN POLICING. - AMERICAN POLICING IS, FOR THEST - ART, BROKEN. - PEOPLE CAN PICK THE WORD THEY - WANT, BUT, UH, WE NEED CHANGESAT - HE NATIONAL LEVEL, AND WE - NEED NEW INITIATIVEIN NEW WAYS - OF DOING BUSINESS AT THE LOCAL

- LEVEL. - THIS IS NOT WE'RENE SWEEPING - FEDERAL BILL WILL FIX THIS - PROBLEM. - BUT A SWEEPING FEDERAL BILL IS - SENTIAL TO ADDRESS MANY OF THE - ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGES, AND - THAT'S WHY THE JUSTICE AND - POLICING ACT IS SOMETHING WE - STRONGLY SUPPORT - INTRODUCED THIS PAST WEEK IN THE - CONGRESS. - AND I'M NOT, I DON'T HAVE 1/2 - TIGHT FOR A WATERED DOWN VERSION - I DON'T HAVE AN APPETR AH, - SYMBOLIC BILL. - I THI WE'VE GOT TO HEAR THE - PAIN, THE CRIES ON THE - DETERMINATION OF THE AMERICAN - PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF ALL - RACES AND BACKGROUNDS WHO ARE ON - THE STREETS SAYING BLACK LIVES - MATTER. - >> Sreenivasan: THIS IS - CERTAINLY NOT IN THE SAME VEINAS - EORGE FLOYD. - THERE ARE DIFFERENT - CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ARE GONNA - LEAD A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SAY, - H, YOU KNOW WHAT? - I SAW THE WENDY'S PARKING LOT - SILURNCE FOOTAGE, AND THIS - GENTLEMAN TURNED AROUND AND HE

- POINTEDER. - THIS IS DIFFERENT. - THE POLICE OFFICER FELT THAT - THEIR LIFE WAS THATENED, THAT - THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO - PROCT THEMSELVES. - >> YOU HAVE POLICE OFFICERS ARE - ASRAINED AND TALK THAT THE - IS A NON-LETHAL WEAPON. - AFFND THEERS HAD SEARCHED - UH, THE GENTLEMAN AT WHEN HE - WTHHEN HE GOT OUT OCAR TO - DETERMINE BECAUSE THEY ASKED - HIM, ARE YOU ARMED? - AN HD THEY DETERMINED THWAS - NOT ARMED. - SO, FOR HIM TO TURN AROUND AND - SHOOT A TASER AT THE OFFICER DID - NOT CONSTITUTE A THREAT TO THE - OFFICER'S LIFE OR A THREAT TO - ANRSOTHER OFFIIFE. - PERHAPS THE OFFICER WAS AMPED UP - BECAUSE THIS MAN HAD TAKEN THE - TASER AWAY FROM HIM AND BEGAN TO - FLEE. - SO, YEAH, OFFICERS MAKE SPLIT - SECOND DECISINNS, BUT AT NO - STANCE WAS ANYONE'S LIFE - THREATENED AND FORCES - ONLY, ONLY, I THINK NECESSARY IF

- THE OFFICERS LIFE IS TRULY - THREATENED OR NUMBER TWO, IF THE - LIFE OF THE CITIZEN OF SOMEONE - ELSE IS THREATENED, WHAT COULD - >> Sreenivasan: WHAT COULD THEY - VE DONE DIFFERENTLY? - >> WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT - DEESCALATION. - THEN WE HAVE TO RETHINK. - AND THIS IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT, - W HANDLE VARIOUS TYPES. - INCIDENTS WHETHER ITS WITH - HOMELESSNESS, WHETHER IT'S - THPEOPLE OSTREET WHO MAY - HAVE MENTAL ISSUES IF THOSE ARE - APPROPRIATE THINGS FOR THE - D POLICE TO RESP. - POLICE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO - THINGS FAR BEYOND THE - TRADITIONAL WORLD OF PUBLIC - SAFETY IN POLICING AND THE RE - IMAGINATION MOVEMENT ON RE - IMAGINATION. RESTRUCTURING - MOVEMENT, I THINK, RIGHTFULLY - HAS TO THINK ABOUT SOME OF THESE - CLASSES OF OFFENSES DIFFERENTLY. - SOME OF THEM ARE NOT TRULY - CRIMINAL OFFENSES, AND SO WE GOT - HAVE DONE THAT AND HE COULD NOT - USE THIS GUN. - LOOK, HOW FAR WAS THAT GENTLEMAN - GOING TO RUN?

- >> Sreenivasan: WE'VE ALSO SEEN - IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS - CLOSING OF THE RANKS BY - DIFFERENT POLICE AGENCIES. - IN BUFFALO, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAD - ALL THE MEMBERHE EMERGENCY - RESPONSE TEAM RESIGNED FROM THAT - UNIT, BUT NOT OM THE POLICE - DEPARTMENT, IN SOLIDARITY WITH - THE TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE - REPRIMANDED FOR PUSHING DOWN AN - OLD MAN IN FLORIDA. - YOU HAD ANOTHER CASE RECENTLY OF - MEMBERS TO RESIGNING FROM THE - SWAT TEAM BECAE THEY FEEL - IR ACTIONS ARE NOW BEING - POLITICIZ AND THEY DON'T FEEL - LIKE THEY CAN DO THEIR JOBS. - AS WITH THE FORCE THAT MIGHT BE - NECESSARY IF MYSELF INCLUDED. - IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE THESE - CONVERSATIONS LOOKING OVER THEI - SULR ON SUNDAY MORNING, IT - >> IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PUBLIC - AND THE PEOPLE TO LOOK OVER THE - SHOULDERS OF PUBLIC OFFICIA IN - PUBLIC SERVANTS. - IT IS. - NO ONE SHOULD BE IMMUNE FROM - THAT. - NOT E POLICE OFFICER, NOT THE - FIREFIGHTER, NOT THE TAX - COLLECTOR, NOT THE DIRECTOR OF - BUILDING PERMITS. - I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD OFFER

- THE POLICE OFFICE OF SORT OF - EXALTED POSITION IN AMERICAN - LIFE WHERE THEY HAVE SUPER DUPER - PROTECTIONS, SUPER INSTALLATIONS - AND THAT'S BEEN PART OF THE - CULTURE. - THOSE OFFICERS, IF THEY DO NOT - HAVE CONFIDENCE, SHOULD NOT HAVE - RESIGNED FROM THE SWAT TEAM. - OR RESIGNED FROM THE UNIT. - THEY SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE - FORCE. - IF OFFICERCAN'T TAKE THIS - TRIP, IF THEY CAN'T MOVE IN THE - DIRECTION THAT I BELIEVE - AMERICAN POLICING IS GONNA MOVE, - THEN I THINK THEY SHOULD RESIGN - AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO GO. - DO WE'VE GOT TO THINK ABOUT THE - HIRING PROCESS? - WE GOT TO THINK ABOUT THE - TRAINING PROCESS, AND WE GOT TO - THINK ABOUT THE SCOPE IN THE - C PHARGE OF, AH, POLICILIC - SAFETY. - AND I THINK TO WHAT'S IMPLICIT - IN THIS AND, AND I STARTED TO - SUPPORT THE INVESTMENTS WE NEED - TO MAKE IN YOUTH AND SO SAL - SERVICES OOLS. - ARY RESPONSE TO EINGLE - PROBLEM CAN'T BE LET'S PUT MORE - PRHOLICE IN THE NEIGHD. - I BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO HAVE SMART

- POLICE AND PROGRESSIVE POLICING - COMMUNITY POLICING STRATEGY - ARFEOUND PUBLIC , BUT - INCLUDES SO MANY OER THINGS. - AND THAT'S THE DEBATE, I INK, - IN THE DISCUSSION THAT WE NEED - TO HAVEN THE UNITED STATES - TODAY. - >> Sreenivasan: ONE OF THE - CENTOTRAL TENETE IS - REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH MONEY YOU - IMPLICIT BIASTRAINING,AINING, - DEESCALATION, TRAINING AND - FORTH, HOW DO YOU SWITCH A - CULTURE THAT VALUES, AND - SOMETIMES RIGHTFULLY, LOYALTY? - THAT THEY SAY, "HEY, I NEED TO - KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MY BACK, THAT - IF WEO INTO A DANGEROUS - SITUATION, I CAN COUNT ON YOU." - ANDCR THAT ENDS UTING A - SCENARIO WHERE GOOD POLICE ARE - STANDING BY WHEN SOMETHING BAD - HAPPENS BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE - "IF I TURN ON MY BROTHER OR T - SISTER NOY MIGHT NOT BE - THERE FOR ME WHEN I REALLY NEED - THEM."

- THERE'S A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE - TO DRAW THE LINE. - AND THE LINE INVOLVES NOT LYING, - NOT COVERING UP, NOT LOOKING THE - OTHER WAY WHEN YOU KNOW A - PARTNER OF YOURS OR A COWORKETH - HAS DONE SOG THAT'S - OBVIOUSLY WRONG. - CORTHRUPTION MEAN WRONGDOING - IS UNCHECKED, THAT WRONGDOING - BECOMES THE CULTURE. - SO PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT - EVERY SINGLE INSTITUTION.WN - WE HAVE TO RETHINK AND WHAVE - REFORM AND WE HAVE TO - RESTRUCTURE. - AND LOOK, I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE - CAN GET SOMETHING THAT PROTECTS - THE PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, RESPECTS - CITIZENS AND CREATES CONFIDENCE, - BUT THESE REFORMS ARE NOT GONNA - BE ABLE OPERATE AROUND THE EDGES - IECN MOST DEPARTMENT,SE IT'S - CENTRAL TO WHAT WE NEED IN - AMERICAN COMMUNITIES TODAY. - ACEND LOOK, I THINK THAT PO - HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO TOO MANY - THINGS. - WELL,E NEED TO TALK TO - COMMUNITIES AND SAY WHAT TYPE OF - SITUATIONS OULD BE HANDLED BY - MAYBE ANOTHER UNIT OR ANOTHER

- DEPARTMENT OR ANOTHER INSTRUMENT - OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF - GOVERNMENT? - AND I THINK THOSE ARE THE KIND - OF CONVERSATIONS THAT - CAVOMMUNITIESTO HAVE IN A - RE-IMAGINATION. - LOOK, I DON'T THINK PEOPLE - SHLDNDERESTIMATE THE POWER - OF THIS MOVEMENT THAT WE SEE - MANIFESTED IN THE STREETS HAS - TOUCHED THE BOARDROOMS OF - AMERICA. - IT'S TOUCHED THE LEGISLATIVE - BODIES OF AMERICA, AND YET IT'S - PROBABLY A SEGMENT OF THE - AMERICAN POPULATION IS - KICKING, SCREAMING AND DOESN'T - SUPPORT IT. - BUS T MY SENSEAT THIS IS A - MOVEMENT UNLIKE ANY I'VE SEEN IN - RACISM, TO RESTRUCTURE THEDO - SOCIETY. - IT'S NOT A BLACK MOVEMENT, IT'S - NOT A WHITE MOVEMENT, IT'S NOT A - LATINO MOVEMENT, IT'S NOT AN - ASIAN MOVENT, IT'S NOT A-- - IT'S NOT A MOVEMENT OF YOUNG - VERSUOLD. - IT'S BEING PROPELLED BY THE - YOUNG, BUT IT IS A MOVEMENT - AGAINST RACISM AND A MOVEMENT - AGAINST DIVISION AND INTOLERANCE - IN THIS COUNTRY, AND SO WE HAVE - A CHANCE IN THE SHORT RUN. - I WANT TO SEE CONGRESS PAST THE - JUSTICAND POLICING NECK, I

- TESTIFIED BEFORE THE HOUSE - JUDICIARY COMMITT. - IT'F S THE KINDFORM MEASURE - CONGRESS SHOULD PASS. - IT'SR NOT GONNA FIX ALL THE - THINGS WE DISCUSSED, BUT - CONGRESS HAS TO PUT ITS STAMP. - IT'S STAMPED ON THIS ISSUE BY - SAYING - TAKE A GIANT LEAP FORWARD WHEN - IT COMES TO HIM IN AMERICAN - POLICING IN TERMS OF CREATING - ACCOUNTABILITIES - RESPONSIBILITIES AND SYSTEMS - THAT WILL ASSIST LOCAL - COMMUNITIES AND DOING THE THING - TO DO. - >> Sreenivasan: MARC MORIA THE - JOINING US.E THANKS SO MUCH FOR - >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. - >> Sreenivasan: FOR MORE ON THE - SITUATION IN ATLANTA AND THE - LATEST ON PROTESTS AROUND THE - , UNTRYSIT pbs.org/newshour. - >> Sreenivasan: REACTION TO THE - POLICE KILLING OF RAYSHARD - BROOKS WAS IMMEDIATE, WITH - G LITICIANS TAK THE SUNDAY - TALK SHOWS TO WEIGH IN AHEAD OF - DEBATE IOON PROPOSED LEGISL - THIS WEEK THAT IS FOCUSED ON - REFORMING AND RETRAINING POLICES - >> T DID NOT CALL FOR LETHAL - FORCE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN - THE CULTURE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS

- GUY DO THAT. - ANE,IT'S GOT TO BE THE CULT - IT'S GOT TO BE THE SYSTEM. - >> ONE ONGF THE CHAL THAT WE - HAVE IN A SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS - IS THE NEED FOR MORE TRAINING. - THAT'S WHY THE DEESCALATION - ASPECT OF MY BILL AND THE HOUSE - BILL IS SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, - SO THAT WE DON'T REVERT BACK TO - BASIC FEAR PLUS ADRENALINE LEADS - SPEAK.THE GENETIC CODE, SO TO - THAT'S A HARD BALANCE TO-- - TO ACHIEVE. - SO, IN ORDER FOR US TO PROVIDE - TUNITIES TO - DEESCALATE THESE SITUATIONS AND - TRDUCE THE USE OF FORCE, WE HAVE - TO HAVE EFFECTIVNING. - >> WE NEED TO LOOK AT - APPROPRIATREFORMS AND THIS IS - PROBABLY A GOOD TIME TO SHINE - THE SPOTLIGHT ONNET AND GET IT - >> WE NEED REFORMATION OF HOW - POLICE OFFICERS DO THEIR JOB,L - AW ENFORCEMENT DOES ITS - JOB,BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE - HAVE TO HAVE A TRANSFORMATION O - HOW W TE VI ROLE OF LAW - ENFORCEMENT, HOW WE VIEW THE - CONSRUCT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, AND - HOW WE INVEST, NOT ONLY IN THE - WORK THAT WE NEED THEM TO DO TO
