of their vehicles, break the windows and then just swim to safety in the dark. you can also see here police, first responders helping them get to higher ground. dallas fire rescue has responded to more than 180 water related emergencies. consider this, an entire summer s worth of rain fell on dallas in just hours, as much as 10 inches since sunday. one driver said her car got stuck in just minutes, and then the threat was not just on the roads. a woman woke up to knee-deep water flooding her apartment. she had just moved in. a lot of her stuff ruined. cnn s senior national correspondent, ed lavandera joins me from dallas. what are you seeing? reporter: victor, as you ve laid out, it s been a brutal morning/overnight here. this is a neighborhood in southeast dallas county. this has been some of the hardest hit areas where in some places i ve seen local weather reports say some people have received 10 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. that is the kind of rainfall that you
what are top cops saying about the disturbing scene. and decision time. will president biden fulfill a campaign promise and cancel student loan debt for millions of americans, and if he does that, might that make inflation worse? an announcement could be days away. good afternoon, welcome to the lead. i m jake tapper. we re going to start with our world lead and the mystery of who murdered russian propagandist darya dugina, the daughter of russian writer alexander dugin. an imperialist who things russia should occupy all of europe, not just ukraine, extending from ireland to serbia. dugin watched from a different car as his 29-year-old daughter was exploded look with her toyota that burst into flames 20 miles west of moscow on saturday. fsb claims a ukrainian did it. ukraine insists that s false. russia says a woman who was a member of ukraine s far right azov regimen plotted the attack. they allege this assassin brought her 12-year-old daughter with her into russia and
the kremlin now accusing ukrainians of killing the daughter of a prominent putin ally. cnn is live in moscow and in kyiv where ukrainian officials deny any involvement. we re following the investigation of a violent arrest in arkansas. three officers have been removed from duty as a disturbing video of the suspect being beaten is stirring outrage. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. wolf blitzer is off today. i m alex marquardt. you re in the situation room. let s get straight to breaking news. the latest twist in the fbi search of former president donald trump s florida home. cnn senior crime and justice reporter kaitlyn ponce has been working this story. trump wants a special master to review the documents taken away by the fbi? that s exactly right, alex. what s happening here is donald trump is going to court to try to slow down this criminal investigation following the seizure of all of those boxes at mar-a-lago. he s asking yes, i
rights, laws, or anything like that. this afternoon, arkansas governor asa hutchinson said the officers response was not consistent with the training they received. that is reprehensible conduct in which a suspect is beat in that fashion. we saw a glimpse of that, it is under investigation. the incident happened sunday in mulberry, arkansas, about 140 miles northwest of little rock. on the video, you can see at least two officers punching and hitting the man, and kneeing him repeatedly as they try to arrest him. that s when you can hear a woman off camera yelling at the officers, don t beat him. he needs his medicine. to which one of the officers tells her to, quote, back the f up. and points, telling her to get back in her car. we don t know what happened just prior or what caused them to use any level of force. it may justify some level of force being necessary to take him into custody, but it escalated way beyond what it was
business. so many disturbing analogies to george floyd, and clearly from what we can see, no justification for this kind of force and violence being perpetrated against 27-year-old randall. chief, on the point of, don t beat him, he needs his medicine, if an officer hears that, is that relevant to their interaction in the moment? should they apply that at all? well, i mean, he may certainly be on medication or whatever. the real issue is they re attempting to take him into custody, and how much force are they using in order to accomplish that. i mean, once he s safely taken into custody, then whatever medical issues he has can certainly be addressed. but when you look at that video, there s no level of force that i can think of that is justified under those particular situations. i mean, you re talking about what we would call a level 3 use of force, which is, you know, potentially causing serious bodily harm or even death.
