I didnt know this was a thing for people outside of us. Its a thing for me. Its my favorite thing on msnbc. And i, too, filled up with moderna, i went out and bought a cup of coffee in a public place today, too. Rachel, we have Tonight Nadia joining us, a friend of Alexei Navalny. We will get her perspective on whats happening. And she, as you know, was em prized been Vladimir Putin herself. She has a very close feeling for whats Going On there. We are also going to show Gabe Gutierrezs extraordinary interview with one of the jurors in the Derek Chauvin Murder trial. It turns out the jury was thinking exactly what we thought they were thinking. Its always such a mystery. You always wonder what is going through their minds and you never know. And now thanks to Gabe Gutierrez Today we to know. One more thing before you go. Very, very, very important thing. Yes . I was listening to Gina Mccarthy on your show and it wasnt easy, i noticed, it wasnt easy for her to describe exactly what her job is because she is not secretary of and she is not Epa Administrator as she was before. So she described this chief kind of environmental advisor, climate advisor to the president , described it as hanging out with people. And she was talking about how she is hanging out because its the Boston Way you describe working, hanging out. She was talking about she is hanging out with these people working on the Infrastructure Bill and she rattled off every member of the cabinet evolved and even beyond that. Did you notice who she left out . Who she left out of the Cabinet Description of the people she was hang outs with . No. Hint. Cabinet member. I could not believe my ears and i know my Boss Couldnt believe his ears. Secretary of labor Marty Walsh, former Boston Mayor, was left out of that list by bostons own Gina Mccarthy. So, rachel, i think we have the makings of a feud here, if i can get it started tonight, because there is nothing like a Boston Accented feud. Its a thing to be behold. I would like to have lawrence with his Boston Accent on, moderate some sort of discussion between Marty Walsh and Gina Mccarthy on cars in terms of what we are agency going to do about cars and electric cars when it comes to dealing with the Climate Change. I would pay serious money for that. So it turns out Marty Walsh and i are going to be talking about cars later in this hour because he is, of course, a key player in the Infrastructure Bill which includes stuff about electric cars and also sorts of other stuff. We will see if he has anything at all to say about Gina Mccarthy. He is going to join us later in the hour. This is going to be wicked fun. Yeah. Its a good day to come to work. Thank you, rachel. Thank you. Well, there really is nothing, and i mean nothing more mysterious than a jury. They never speak. You never know what they are thinking as a trial proceeds. You can only guess and you can never be sure about the guesses. Not even close. And so there is nothing more sus smensful than a jury verdict. There is nothing more suspenseful than that in our lives today. And in an extraordinary Interview Today nbcs Gabe Gutierrez has taken us inside the jury in the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. On this program, every night of the trial, we tried to highlight for you what we thought were the most important points for the jury that day. The points that really impressed the jury, and it turns out we were right. They were thinking exactly what we were thinking about that evidence. And while Gabe Gutierrez was conducting that Interview Today with one of the jurors in that case, members of George Floyds family attended the funeral of Daunte White, the 20yearold unarmed black man who was shot and killed by a Police Officer in Brooklyn Center, minnesota, last week. Reverend Al Sharpton delivered a eulogy at another funeral of an armed black person killed by police. When you see the blue wall of Silence Tumble in a courtroom in minneapolis, when policemen understand that they are committed to the oath rather than to their colleague, thats when we know a breakthrough is coming. Thats when we know we can pass the George Floyd bill because folk are not going to lie on you no more. And next time you get ready to pull your gun, next time you get ready to bend your knee, put in your mind the picture of the man taken in handcuffs and making chauvin put his hands behind his back and walk into a penitentialry and learn that you will pay for the crimes you committed. Today nbcs Gabe Gutierrez gave us a window into what the jury in the Derek Chauvin trial was thinking when he interviewed one of the alternate jurors who was not one of the 12 jurors who were chosen in The End to deliberate in the case and deliver those three guilty verdict. Lisa christensen said if she had been chosen as one of the 12 jurors to deliver the verdict, she would have voted guilty. Her reactions to the evidence were virtually identical to the reactions presented on this program during the trial when asked, who was the most important witness, she immediately said dr. Martin tobin. Heres why. He did a good demonstration. I understood everything he said. I thought it might be over my head because of, you know, medical. But what was so powerful to me is he pointed out when mr. Floyd actually lost his life, like pointed right down to that minute, explaining this is the point where he is having that seizure, and now he is not breathing anymore. You can see his eyes. He is conscious. And then you see that he isnt. Thats the moment the life goes out of his body. We were not allowed to see the young eyewitnesses who testified but the jury saw them. She described what she felt when she watched one of the young eyewitnesses testifying. She was trying to held back her tears. You know when your chin starts quivering . I could see that. My eyes started watering and i started tearing up. Everything was so real and so genuine. I mean, i felt their feelings. I felt their pain. I felt their guilt. Yeah, i could just feel it all. The other witness who meant the most to Lisa Christensen and presumably the rest of the jury was 18yearold Darnella Frazier when she bravely aimed her phone at Derek Chauvin and George Floyd and recorded on video the murder of George Floyd. What stuck in my mind, i was close to the Witness Stand and her words of apologizing to mr. Floyd that night over and over that she couldnt sleep and she was sorry she couldnt do more to save his life. That was pretty impactful to me. It hurt me. Here is that portion of Darnella Fraziers testimony that Lisa Christensen just described. When i look at George Floyd, i look at i look at my dad. I look at my brothers. I look at my cousins, my uncles, because they are all black. I have black i have a black father. I have a black brother. I have black friends. And i look at that and i look at how that could have been one of them. Its the nights i stayed up apologizing and and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting in not saving his life. But its, like, its not what i should have done. Its what he should have done. Every trial has its what ifs. The biggest one in this trial is, what if Derek Chauvin testified . Would you have liked to have seen Derek Chauvin testify . I dont think, no. I dont think it would have helped him at all. Really . No. Were you surprised he didnt testify . No. I expected him not to testify. So, i think the prosecutor had a really strong case, and i think he would have incriminated himself even further. Reporter what was the biggest unanswered question that you had, if any . Why didnt you turn him over on his side at a certain point when you knew he was in distress . You know, why didnt we start cpr . I think if they did, the outcome may have been different. Gabe gutierrez asked about her reaction to Derek Chauvin. Reporter what did you make of Derek Chauvin in the courtroom . I felt bad for him. I really did. I felt sorry for him. I guess what stood out for me is that video they took, a still photo of him on mr. Floyds neck with his hand in his pocket, and i felt like the message i was getting from that, that photo, was, like, im here to do my job and nobodys gonna tell me how to do it. I felt like he was being defiant on what Anybody Or Everybody was trying to point out to him. We knew that one unnamed juror lived in Brooklyn Center and was subject to the curfew after nighttime protests of the Police Killing of Daunte White. Now we know that juror was Lisa Christensen. Reporter i know you live in Brooklyn Center. Yes. Reporter that came up once. There was a discussion, the Defense Attorney at one point wanted the jury sequestered because of what was happening here. When the protests were underway, when Daunte White was killed, did you hear about any of that . Were you at all privy to what was Going On . I did hear about it. Whether i wanted to or not, the helicopters were over my house. So like one in the morning i could hear the press helicopters. Also, i could hear the flashbangs Going On. I could, if i stepped out on to my deck there, i could see the smoke if i looked over there. Reporter you were that close to it . Yeah, the Police Station is seven, six, seven blocks from my house. Reporter and what impact did that have on you at all, or nothing with regards to this trial . It had an impact on me, but not as far as this trial. They were two separate things. And there you have a picture of The American Jury System working at its best. Lisa christensen did not cite anything that the lawyers said during the trial. She made up her mind based on what the witnesses said based on the evidence presented by witnesses as she was instructed to do by the judge. She disregarded any outside influences, even the helicopters flying over her house. Joining us now is Congresswoman Val demings of florida, a member of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee and a former chief of the orlando police department. Thank you very much for joining us tonight. We really appreciate it. I wanted to get your reaction to something that reverend sharpton said actually today in that painful eulogy he had to give once again at a funeral of someone, unarmed person killed by police. He said, when police understand that they are committed to the oath rather than to their colleague, thats when we know a breakthrough is coming. What is your reaction to that . Well, lawrence, great to be book with you, and while that was absolutely powerful when i heard it earlier, i talk a lot about taking the oath and, you know, we all can agree that Police Work is tough. It can be dangerous. Its difficult. But the men and women in blue, if they would always remember that the oath that they take when they raise their hand and they swear that they will protect and defend the constitution against all enemies, that they will protect and serve. Its not an oath to their individual departments. Its certainly not an oath to their colleagues. It is an oath to the united States Constitution that is tee designed and built to protect citizens. So that was a powerful moment. And, you know, lawrence, out of every tragedy can come some good. I am hoping that every Man And Woman who is wearing the uniform listened to that today and will reset and be reminded that their oath is to the constitution and their commitment is to the men and women, Boys And Girls in the communities in which they serve. You know, the good cops know how to follow their rules. They know how to follow the laws of their state. Lets talk about the bad cops and what gets through to the bad cops. What about that photograph, the video of Derek Chauvin having those Handcuffs Put on him in those final moments in the courtroom before leaving that courtroom, is that the kind of message, those handcuffs on that former Police Officer, is that the message that gets through to bad cops . Well, there again, you know, id like to say everybody counts, but everybody is accountable. And certainly that includes the men and women in the profession that i spent 27 years in. I made a lot of arrests and every officer does. To see a former Police Officer being led away in handcuffs certainly gets everyones attention, but it you better believe it gets the attention of the men and women who do that job. It gets the attention of everybody. All of the officers. But those who, the bad ones, the ones who never should have been hired in the first place, the ones who dont have the mind for the heart to do the job, you better believe that image got their attention. Politicians posture over their support for police all the time and it happens in congress, as you well know. It seemed to happen the other day in the house Judiciary Committee. I want to take a look at a moment that you had with republican Jim Jordan. Its interesting to see my colleagues on the other side of the Aisle Support the police when it is politically convenient to do so. Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day. They deserve better and The American people deserve i have the floor, mr. Jordan did i strike a nerve . Law enforcement officers the gentle lady than to be utilized as pawns. And you and your colleagues the gentle lady you know, congresswoman, a lot of us watch you in those situations and we dont know how you do it. We dont know how you do it without, on the moments when you arent calling people like Jim Jordan to task, and then when those moments come and youre not allowed the full breadth of what you want to say, what its like in those moments. What do you wish people like Jim Jordan understood . What would Jim Jordan, what he wants us all to try to remember or the black Lives Matter protests when he tried to remind us how he stood by Law Enforcement. It appears to me that he only felt motivated to stand with Law Enforcement during that time because the majority of the protesters were black or brown. But when it came to people who look like him, breaking into the capitol, trying to undermine our democracy, stop a free and fair election, the certification of the votes, Jim Jordan and many of his colleagues on his side of the aisle were silent. And so, you know, we have a lot of critical issues, lawrence, that we are dealing with in this country. Covid19. Criminal justice reform. Infrastructure. Putting people back to work. Saving our small businesses. We just dont have time for shenanigans and political games. And i would really hope that mr. Jordan and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would remember their oath. And be committed to their oath. We could do so much better. Congresswoman and former Police Cheever Val demings, thank you very much for joining us together. We always appreciate your perspective on government and Police Work. We appreciate you sharing that with us tonight. Thank you. Thank you. And coming up, former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh will make his first appearance on The Last Word as the Labor Secretary walsh, who has been assigned by his boss, Joe Biden, to get the Infrastructure Bill through congress.

Go ahead, Phone It in. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum i am so eager to talk with Marty Walsh. Before i introduce the Secretary Of Labor with the most significant legislative agenda of any recent Secretary Of Labor, lets listen to Joe Biden naming the key players of his team charged with getting the Biden Harris Infrastructure package through congress. Working with my team here in the white house, these Cabinet Members will represent me in dealing with congress, engage the public in selling the plan, and help work out the details as we refine it and move forward. These five members will be put buttigieg, jennifer granholm, marcia fudge, Marty Walsh, and gina raimondo. Today president biden stressed the Jobs Component of his Infrastructure Bill at a virtual summit of World Leaders on Climate Change. When people talk about climate, i think jobs. Within our climate response lies an extraordinary engine of Job Creation and economic opportunity ready to be fired up. Thats why i propose the huge investment in american infrastructure and american innovation to tap the economic opportunity that Climate Change presents our workers and our communities. Especially those too often that are left out and left behind. Joining us now, americas new Secretary Of Labor, Marty Walsh. Thank you very much for joining us tonight, mr. Secretary. Thank you, sir. Great to be on with you again. Now, im trying to get a little Boston Accented feud going between you and Gina Mccarthy because she was just on with Rachel Maddow in the last hour and she rattled all the people she said she was hanging around with on Climate Change and this subject, and she somehow forgot the Secretary Of Labor. Wow. I was hanging with gina the other day, yesterday. We had a meeting. We hung out. You know, she is from jp. She might have forgot. Its okay. We were hanging with John Kerry. So John Kerry at beacon hill. A few of us in the room from boston talking about the climate. I am not sure someone from Jamaica Plain knows how to get to dorcester, so i understand it. Mr. Secretary, Joe Biden, when every time i hear him say Climate Change somewhere, very close to those words, i hear the word jobs. That is a new approach to presenting this issue to voters. Its your job to make the case that this is about jobs. How do you make that case to members of the senate, members of the house . Well, it is about jobs. There is no question about it. When i was the chair of the u. S. Climate change mayors or mayor in the city of boston and we were talking about Climate Change, it was about jobs. It was about resiliency, creating opportunities. The president came up with a Goal Today to reduce Carbon Emissions by the year, cut them in half by 2030. The way to do that is by building a green infrastructure, clean infrastructure, creating opportunities. There is no other way there is other ways of looking at it, but we look at the issue of climate and reducing Carbon Emissions and having a clean economy and environment, but you get there by having people work in these sectors. In The American Rescue Plan we already invested money in Training Veterans for green jobs. We are working with Labor Unions now, working with individual organizations around the country. The american Jobs Plan has other money in there for Workforce Development for green jobs and green technology. We have a green Infrastructure Grid in that plan. Who is going to build the grid out is workers and that grid is going to be green, clean energy across the country. So the job you have been given by the president is to pass the biggest Infrastructure Bill in history at 2. 25 trillion. Senate republicans countered today with their version of an Infrastructure Bill at about a fourth of that, 568 Billion. What do you say to your former massachusetts republican governor, now senator, Mitt Rom about the 568 Billion proposal he is advancing now . Its good to see there is a dialogue happening now. We will look at the plan they proposed today. That plan is for Road And Bridge infrastructure and what The American Jobs Plan is goes deeper than that. But its worth looking at. Its worth having conversations. I know the president is willing and hopeful to get bipartisan support. I am working on it. All the secretaries that the president mentioned are working on this. We are trying to get a bipartisan bill. This american Jobs Plan is not a democratic program. Its not a republican program. Its an american program. Its about The American worker and about The American infrastructure. And there is lots of components to The American Jobs Plan not unveiled by the republicans. The republicans took a piece of it. I am happy to see that, we will look at that, but what is macing is the cares economy, job training money, what was missing is 2 Million homes to be built around the country, broadband for every american, eliminating lead pipes. There are lots of conversations we need to have before we finalize a package that will go to congress. Whether i was working in the senate one of my jobs was the chief of staff, Staff Director of the Senate Environment and public Works Committee where all of the Infrastructure Bills had to pass through, and in those days we simply called them the Highway Bill because Everybody Thought of infrastructure then as pavement. Just rolling out pavement, bridges, highways, and because Senator Moynihan was a northeastern senator representing New York we also had an awful lot of Rail And Subway infrastructure support, but it was all transportation and very little other than transportation. You are trying to broaden that definition in a congress that has been thinking narrowly about this subject for decades. Yeah. Its true. And i think when you think about the c. A. R. E. S. Economy, Thats Infrastructure for child care economy, Thats Infrastructure for the folks that are taking care of our most vulnerable older adults. The Broadband Network across the united states of america. Many young people this year when we had to shut schools down, including in boston, because of covid19, they didnt have the infrastructure for wifi. Clean Drinking Water around the country. Thats infrastructure. Pipes. All of the things that the president is talking about is infrastructure and that infrastructure is building people and getting them into thats the intention behind this. When we think about the moment in time that were living in, we have an opportunity here. We saw a lot of damage that the coronavirus has caused, and the president has talked about building back better, and thats what he wants to do here. Thats his goal and intention. When you think about this, this is once in a Generation Opportunity thats in front of us right now to rethink and recreate the infrastructure for The American worker and how we create pathways for The American worker back into the middle class. 50 years ago many of the young people that are in this country now, whether before they were born or just born, their parents lived in the middle class. Today we dont have a middle class. We need to rebuild the middle class. Not enough people have an opportunity to get in the middle class. We have to look at that. We also have to look at communities that have been disadvantaged, communities of color and women, 2 Million women out of the work force. The black community, the black rate of unemployment right now is far too high. So we have to build back better. This is a great opportunity to do that. Labor secretary Marty Walsh, mr. Secretary, thank you very much for joining us tonight. We really appreciate it. Thank you, lawrence. Anytime you want me on, ill be on. Say thoi Gina Mccarthy next time you are hanging with her. I will give her a text tonight. Thank you very much. Coming up, these words. There are more of us. Thats what Alexei Navalny said today in a written statement from his hospital bed, which could soon be his Death Bed as he continues his Hunger Strike. Nadya tolokonnikova, a friend of Alexei Navalny, who was imprisoned herself by Vladimir Putin, will join us next.

Yesterday thousands of brave russians did something that Donald Trump has always been desperately afraid of doing. They criticized Vladimir Putin. Protesters filled the streets in cities all over russia, chanting russia without putin, putin is a thief, freedom to political prisoners and simply let him go, meaning the jailed Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny. The most prominent political prisoner in russia, he continues his Hunger Strike after having been moved to a Prison Hospital and now to civilian hospital in a City 110 miles east of moscow. With his lawyers saying he could die at any moment, Alexei Navalny released this statement today. I will sincerely say, two feelings are raging inside me. Pride and hope. People are marching in the street. It means they know and understand everything. They wont give up their future, the future of their children, their country. Yes, it will be difficult and dark for some time, but those pulling russia back historically are doomed. There are more of us in any case. Yesterdays protesters came yesterdays protests came immediately after Vladimir Putin delivered the equivalent of the russian state of the Union Address in which he never once mentioned Alexei Navalny. In that Speech Putin threatened retaliation for crossing a Red Line, but never said where the Red Line is or what crossing the Red Line might look like. Joining us is michael mcfaul, former u. S. Ambassador to russia under Barack Obama and an Msnbc International Affairs analyst, and nadya tolokonnikova, founding member of the russian protest collective P Uss Y riot. Michael, quickly about that Red Line in Vladimir Putins speech. What it could possibly mean and what you think these protests mean. Well, lawrence, you said it. Red lines are strange if you dont define what they were. It was very mysterious to me. A lot of tough talk, mention of their nuclear new weapons and nobody is going to boss us around, but it was very ambiguous when he meant. I think he may have been referring to maybe ukraine. He mentioned an alleged plot to kill mr. Lukashenko in belarus that he had thwarted. I havent seen any evidence of that. I think he was making a statement about his region, stay out of our business or we will strike back. Nadya go ahead, michael. I was incredibly impress the. Lots of people came out. These people are risking being arrested. There is and last time there was 10,000 arrested. I thought it was extremely well done on a very short amount of time. Mr. Navalny should be very thankful those people care so much about him. Nadya, i know you are very friendly with Alexei Navalny and friendly with his family. What do you know tonight about his medical condition . I know that he his health is quickly deteriorating and i know that we are watching how a person is dying in front of our eyes. So i really incredibly thankful to everyone when joins the streets yesterday. They have a chance to say he is on Hunger Strike for 20 days and he is experiencing health, serious Health Problems because he was almost murdered in 2020. Nadya, it is strange for us to watch this because it seems like Vladimir Putins not going to do anything to stop this, and Alexei Navalny is committed to his Hunger Strike. So this could end with his death. What would happen then . The opposition would lose a great leader. And so what would happen . Honestly, its strange for us watching this because i have never seen anything like this in my life before, even though i spent two years in jail. I think well, when i have heard about Alexei Navalny starting Hunger Strike, i was scared because its the last instrument. Its the last tool you have when you are a prisoner. It means that as an experienced prisoner and Alexei Navalny is one, he knew that it is the only one tool he has right now to save his health and to potentially change the situation. And he is extremely courageous person. He knew the reason that he can make with our help, you know, a beautiful russian future. And he always remains positive, even now. Him and his emily, they are spreading positivity. How on earth would you spread positivity when you are dying, when your husband is dying . But they are believing that they can have this beautiful russian future. Its definitely contagious. I feel it and millions of other russians feel it as well. Michael mcfaul, we are watching a Drama Of Stunning Bravery by Alexei Navalny, like nothing we have ever seen. Willing to die and, in effect, die publicly for this cause of freedom in russia, and just stunning cowardice by Vladimir Putin, who dares not mention his naming, pretends he knows nothing about it, and apparently is willing to sit there in his cowardly corner as this continues possibly to Alexei Navalnys death. Youre right, lawrence. I agree. And i want to be clear. I hope from navalny does not die. I hope he listens to the doctors that put out a Letter Today saying, please, stop this, save your life. That is more important, i think, than dying and becoming a martyr. He is a very charismatic leader that i think russia needs. And with respect to mr. Putin, you are absolutely right. This is not a move of strength, lawrence, right . If you are strong and you are popular as all of the alleged Opinion Polls say, why do you arrest some allegedly marginal figure and allow him to die like this in custody . In this is a sign of weakness, not of strength. Nadya, i discussed this with you on this program, i discussed it with you privately. Your bravely, Alexei Navalnys bravely, is just stunning to watch. Its not something that i can comprehend. Its not something that i can imagine feeling myself and acting on. Where does it come from . What in the russian character or in russian life takes you to this point . I bet you would do the same in our place. We just want to be on the right side of history, and we are driven by ethics. And we all, at the bottom of our hearts, we all want to be good human beings. So its just we want to see better russia. We see amazing talented people who are not able to fulfill their full potential. A lot of them are leaving. And there is whole generation of young russians and a generation of a little bit older who are growing up seeing just putin. And most of them, they dont like him because they see they dont have a lot of chances in their life just because of one person who holds the power for 21 years. Nadya tolokonnikova, an honor to have you here. Michael, we appreciate your experience with this subject. Thank you both very much for joining us tonight. Thank you. And coming up, the only people who can change policing in a america are Police Officers. We need more good cops. And one historically black College And University is trying to do something about that. We will be joined by the Police Chief who started the first Police Academy at an historically black College And University and one of the his recruits and they, together, will get tonights last word.

This Year Lincoln University and Jefferson City Missouri became the first historically black College And University to create its own Police Academy with a focus on a more communitybased approach to policing. The academy is run by Lincoln University Police Chief gary hill, who convinced the university to create the program. Chief hill searched for 18 years in the Cole County Sheriffs Office and is now using recent Police Killings of unarmed black people as teachable moments in the Lincoln University Police Academy. One of the black women students in the Police Academy told time the killing of George Floyd made her begin to think she needed to be part of the change she wanted to see in Police Work. It kind of pushed me to do better, she says. A recent study showed that black and better, she said. A recent study showed black and hispanic officers use force less frequently than white officers.

Last night at this hour i made the point that the only people who can really change the way Police Work is done in america are the people doing that Police Work. The time has come for good cops to step up and prove that their loyalty is to the people who they are sworn to serve. Joining us now, two people who want good cops to dominate Police Work in this country. Lincoln university Police Chief gary hill. Hes the director of the Lincoln University Police Academy and joseph foster, who is a student in the first class at Lincoln Universitys Police Academy. Professor hill, let me start with you and why you decided an Historically Black University needed a Police Academy . It came to me in the sense that we have a large Minority Community on campus. In order to increase our Law Enforcement footprint, i thought this would be a great place to start recruiting people in our local Police Academy and agencies around the state. I just thought it would be perfect because of Lincoln University eaves history, because of our criminal program that is already in place. It just already made sense. And joseph foster, what drew you to the Police Academy . What drew me to the Police Academy first and foremost The Bible tells us we need to be servants first. I always wanted to serve people and serve others in the community and around me just to be an impactful person that people can look up to and somebody they can draw inspiration from. So joining the Police Academy is the first Stepping Stone in being able to do that and getting into a career in the future in Law Enforcement. And, chief hill, you are using now some of these cases like the George Floyd case and others as Teaching Element in your Police Academy. How do you use the murder of George Floyd in your training . So what we usually do is well talk about current events. And so we will use those video, whether it be from Body Cam or someones Cell Phone Footage and thats what the recruits will write their reports on. Theyll write their reports for their Report Writing exercises based off what theyve seen on those videos. We use those as teachable moments so after they write the report, then we discuss what happened and how it affects what were teaching them in the training program. We try to say this is what we teach, how is it applicable to what were teaching here at the academy. Joseph foster, were going to see in the summer, August 23rd another trial, of the three other officers who were there when George Floyd was murdered. Theyre on trial basically for not stopping what Derek Chauvin was doing and not intervening of getting that knee off George Floyds neck. When you look at that video, do you think about what would i have done if i was there . Yes. It all takes accountability on all of our parts. They are just as guilty as the person they allowed to do that because, you know, in order to prevent something like that, somebody has to be able to be the one to say that, hey, thats not right. Hey, i need to step up and Do The Right Thing. Thats where i feel accountability comes in, not just for yourself but as the people that you surround yourself with and that you have given the oath and the duty to sworn and protect. I just feel accountability should have given them intuition to say this isnt right, we need to Do The Right Thing and not do an improper violation of putting our knee on this neck. Chief hill, we are constantly seeing failures of this Police Draining in these films were seeing, including Body Cam videos. The department has a good Rule And Training on deadly force but when the moment comes out there in the street, the training doesnt work, including that Case Weve seen recently where this officer apparently thought she was reaching for her taser when she was reaching for her pistol. Yes. Again, youre right, lawrence, weve seen that time and time again. The issue we have to address is what was that Officers Mindset at the time of the incident. We would hope that when an incident like that happens, we would resort to our lowest level of training and we hope that that lowest level of training is our basic training that received in the academy and our in service. But its an individuals situation. Where was that Officers Mind at that point in time that we have to address. Thank you both very much for joining us tonight. And joseph foster, stay safe when you get out there behind the badge. We really appreciate you joining us tonight. Thank you, lawrence. That is tonights last word. The 11 hour with Brian Williams starts right now. And good evening once again. Day 93 of the biden Administration Today saw increasing demands for an overhaul of policing in our country. The emotional issue brought in to clearer focus on this day during a funeral for a young man killed by police less than two days after the palpable relief felt over the guilty verdict in the chauvin trial, the Minneapolis Area in mourning again as the family of Daunte Wright held his memorial service. The 20yearold father of a 2yearold shot and killed by a Police Officer during a Traffic Stop 11 days ago now. The officer who killed him claims she meant to use her taser instead of her glock side
