Destructive protests across the city. Today a peaceful rally at the State Capitol and less than 48 hours after brooks death, he was fired and the police chief resigned. He was always happy. He was always smiling. Never killing one of his family members because he wasnt that type of dude. So, to you people that are looking around the world, and you have your feelings. Before it happened to us, i can only guess add what you felt but now i understand. Life shouldnt be this complicated. Life shouldnt be where we have to feel some type of way if we see a police or somebody of a different color. I didnt come down here to talk to the media. I came down here to love all my people. But if you ask how this young black man was . Look at your children when you see them laugh. That innocence, that joy, that pureness of soul and you had a glimpse of what we lost. Youll have a glimpse of what it feels like because tomorrow we going to have to deal with it again. We going to have to think, and if we didnt say we love you enough, we got to apologize to them for not saying we love you that much. You took my cousin from me. I want to bring in cnns ryan, live. Just the emotion coming from the camera and wreench seen that obviously at the wendys. You see the sadness and grief and anger as well. This has become a place of vigils and it was set on fire. Reporter when you think about what we just heard, its very difficult to listen to. I think people were keeping it together until that moment. You heard the words, he wanted to talk to his people. So many are listening to the words. And talk to people behind me, they start the fire behind us. When you look there now at whats going on and coming to mark this moment because when you heard it from the family and asking for answers they say they are and a lot of people have watched that body camfootage and talk about the fact there was this 30minute conversation. And theres a question somebody seems to be asking over and over again is why were the shots fired . Why was he allowed to run off . Thats the big question. Youre talking to a part of the city connected to the edge of downtown. Its pretty much on the other side of this area over here. Theres a lot of people driving by just to take a look at this. The main question is how did the city move forward . You heard theyre going to help pay for the burial of Rayshard Brooks. There are other questions like this wendys parking lot that was full. You saw the lawyer step forward. But the fact they have a witness that says one of the cars that wasnt involved was hit by gun fire. And thats something thats also upset people in the community. Theres so many emotions. And theres supposed to be anather one in the next 30 minutes or so at the capitol. They know session is in today. They want changes. They want changes made to policing. The police chief has already stepped down and now theres a new police chief put into place but they want action and they want it pretty soon. Ryan young, thank you for that report from atlanta. Atlanta city counsel woman is joining me now. Thank you so much for being here. The widow of Rayshard Brooks says i remember her husbands death is a huge problem for our city and nation. It had to rebuild itself but i am not going to take up for that officer, that shot that man while he was running away. You know, i wonder i think especially when Something Like this happens, at each point you look to see where things could have been different, right . What when you see this, from Rayshard Brooks is asleep behind the wheel, appears under influence. Then hes awake, talking. Hes being, you know, agreeable. It seemed very calm with the officers. It escalates to, after a what appears to be a sobriety test, hes on the ground and being restrained and then theres this struggle. And then we see what happens after that. What is the first point for you where you have a question about okay, why is that at this point. And we question with all of it. And back here when officers are in their capacity or just lack of empathy, dont have respect for our citizens. Especially black citizens. So, i have a problem with all of it. I dont know where to start with all of that. I know as a counsel, we real toy and truly have to take this listening session serious. And make sure that the actions that we take afterwards reflect how we feel about our community and what our community has to say. Yesterday over to that wendys to help with the clean up with our Public Works Department and i had conversations with so many of the people that live in that community and that came around, just to get a feel where all of the horrible and i have to tell you people are sad. They are sad. Theyre distraught. And so am i. This is an area where i grew up. I know southwest atlanta. I live on in an area where i was actually i grew up. I learned how to drive here. I was married here. I raised all three of my black children here. These are the same Police Officers that patrol my streets. It is scary to think that my son, either one of them, the 23yearold or the 19yearold can go out and make some bad decisions and die for it. No one should have to live in that type of fear. Not anyone. Counsel member overstreet, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much for having me. We have breaking news in the coronavirus pandemic as sports leagues plan to restart their seasons, the nfl net works are reporting several playrs for the cowboys and texans have tested positive. Ed is outside of cowboys stadium. This is sort of what we feared the whole time. Right, ed . What happens when people Start Testing positive . What do you know . Reporter as we mentioned several players, the exact identity of who they are, exactly who all of these players contracted the coronavirus is unclear at this point. And a big part of all this in determining the months ahead. The nfl has had the comfort of a little more time. Their season doesnt officially start. But theres time to figure out what to do with this. It hasnt exactly what it would look like is unclear. Were also seeing the Major League Baseball grappling as they figure out a way to restart their seasons in the midst of the pandemic. With the news today that several players of the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys are going to stick with coronavirus does appear to complicate things here. And not exactly how the league was pulled. Thank you so much. And President Trump touted to treat coronavirus. The fatd has revoked emergeancy authorization. The entire team and chiefs stood in solidarity with the protesters. It only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. Tide pods childguard pack helps keep your laundry pacs in a safe place and your child safer. To close, twist until it clicks.

Get the amazing iphone 11 for halfoff on at t, americas Fastest Network for iphones. All ten members of a south florida s. W. A. T. Team have resigned. Theyre set to meet in an hour with the haulen dale police chief to turn in equipment and voice concerns. Get your knees off my neck. Now, the officers are angry that the police chief took a knee with protesters and accuse the chief of kneeling in solidarity with the vice mayor who they say is showing clear disdain for their agency. That woman, vice mayor of hollendale police. What is your response to this mass resignation of the s. W. A. T. Team . Thank you so much for having me today. And i was disappointed and i was shocked when i saw the letter on friday but i think it just resonates with what were seeing nationally. I think our officers, one of them believes the newly lected police union chief happened in buffalo, new york with the officers who resigned and on the ground. The police chief has been very Community Minded and truthfully, she was standing in solidarity with me. That was not true. The chief and several officers kneeled in the protest led by community members, northwest Community Resident whose organized this in support of a man killed by the s. W. A. T. In 2014. Many were his neighbors, his friends and family members. His sister there and he embraced. I told her were going to remember howard and thats what this letter was about. That no officers were charged in the case. That we truthfully believe he was wrongfully killed. And there is no accountability or justice. And that was the s. W. A. T. Team and not just you have brought up. Its been brought up in the media as well. Howard was unarmed and he was shot twice in the stomach. And his family was at home in the end, when police did go in, they found drugs. Not a huge amount, right . This speaks to one of the criticisms that has been made about the s. W. A. T. Team that maybe they go overboard for drug busts that are yielding no drugs or that are yielding very little. What is it going to mean to this community that they do not have a s. W. A. T. Team . On one hand, you have a criticism of them in the vogue case and drug cases as well. On the other hand, there are going to be proponent ozes of the s. W. A. T. Team who say if theres a school shooting, who are you going to call with expertise at your disposal . Of course. And this s. W. A. T. Resignation of the 10member unit has no impact on the operations or safety of our community, our residents, our visitors. We have a mutual aid agreement with the Broward County office. But s. W. A. T. Is not the first Critical Response unit. They respond to neutralize a situation after all exhaustive measures are taken. And we are a small city, a foursquare mile city, 48,000 people and our county with nearly 2 million residents. I really dont think local Police Departments should be militarized. I hear arguments both sides. But to tell the truth, howard was a victim of one of 38 s. W. A. T. Raids all done in the northwest squaderant of hollendale beach and 16 grams of cocaine. A very minimal amount for a militarystyle drug raid, that the majority of which are finding zero to little drugs in the homes, terrorizing a community. I dont think that kept us safer and didnt keep howard, his family safer. Its reflective it only happens on one side of our city, verses the other side. West side verses east side. I think our community can be safer by reallocating the funding for the s. W. A. T. Department im sorry, unit. With regards to do you want to see that going towards pay for other officers . No. So, what weve been hearing from lot of our residents, from community members, black lives matter is those should be reallocated to communityled initiatives. Expanded scholarships or child care after school. Mental health first responders. The things that we really need in direct assistance to the communities that would keep us safer and root out problems at the stem. The things the community wants. And not for a s. W. A. T. Team that rarely, rarely gets and for assignment, pay, operations, for things that we really dont need that dont keep us safer, verses communityled initiatives thank will keep our communities together, rather than take away a life. Vice mayor, we appreciate you coming on. Thank you. Thank you so much. Next, Major Supreme Court decision.

But i dont think its this winter or fall. Now, we all know that President Trump is not like to wear a mask in public. His surgeon general, jerome adams, just tweeted a picture of himself wearing a mask with this caption, some feel face coverings infringe on their freedom of choice. But if more wear them, well have more freedom to go out. All right. Thank you for that report. And next ill be speaking to someone who filed a brief in a landmark Supreme Court decision.

Get published now, call for your free publisher kit today the Supreme Court, in a 63 landmark ruling, the nations highest court voted to protect gay, lesbian and transgender people from job discrimination. The Supreme Court says employers cannot fire workers for being gay or transgender. And National Womens law center. Her organization was involved in the case. You filed a friend of the court brief in support of the lawsuit and i wonder if you can just tell us your personal reaction to this and what new effects are going to be when it comes to Workplace Discrimination for gay, lesbian and transgender americans. Today is such a historic victory across the country. It should be transgender people like myself. Its one of the primary reasons. And under a cloud of shame, just to show up to work every day. I think this case, when we woke up today, it was still legal in 28 states to fire an lgbtq person because of who they are. And now it is illegal nationwide. Its really hard to overstate the importance of this. And julian, we saw two of the courts conservatives joining four of the liberals. This is a 63 decision. What do you make of that that you have the chief justice and justice gorsuch, a trump nominee, joining the liberals . Well, thats pretty reflective of what we see in american society. The equality act, which is passed by a bipartisan majority in Congress Last year in the houses, that is. I would end discrimination unemployment and education, housing, and public spaces and a number of
