George floyd in minneapolis. These are some of the major rallies against Police Brutality weve been seeing across the country. While a newly released autopsy show brooks was shot twice in the back. According to the District Attorney, the first thing after shooting brooks was, i got him. He has cynic been fired. The District Attorney said hes now weighing murder charges. I believe in this instance, what we have to choose between, if there is a choice to be made, is between murder and felony murder. I can tell you definitely that probably sometime around wednesday, we will be making a decision in this case. The deadly encounter between Rayshard Brooks and the officers are captured on body cam and were getting a clearer picture of the moments leading up to the shooting. Heres the report from the scene. Large crowds of people here where Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed friday night. Many of them prettying. What is captured on camera of the incident paints a complicated picture. Brooks joking with Police Officers, engaging in light conversation. In one fell swoom, everything changes. We should warn you, this video is graphic and difficult to watch. Responding to all, can officer brosnan aapproaches the car. Hey hey youre parked in the line here. Hey sir whats up, man youre parked in the drivethrough right now. Are you all right . Asleep in the drivethrough lane, Police Body Cam footage shows the 27yearold does not respond right away. Are you tired . All right, man. Ill move my car. Just pull somewhere. All right. Are you good . Brooks eventually wakes up and agrees to move his car before he appears to fall asleep again. You have to move your car. Brooks moves to a nearby parking spot where brosnan asks how much did you drink tonight . Not much . How much is not much . You say one kind of drink. What drink was it . A margarita. Any drugs today . I dont do drugs. Brooks struggles to final his license and tries to step out of the car. Just stay in the car. He asks for another officer to conduct a dui test. Pretty adamant. Definitely got some liquor on him right now. When the officer arrives, brooks denies having he said about asleep. The reason were here is because somebody called 911 because you were asleep behind the wheel while in the drivethrough. Do you recall that . I dont. You dont recall that . You dont recall minutes ago where you were passed out behind the wheel . Huhuh. He agrees to a breathalyzer test. He said he cant remember how many he had to drink and then he tells police i know, i know. When he tries to handcuff brooks, he resists. Witness video shows brosnan readying his taser. Brooks grabs it out of his hand. Breaking free, he punches him. He fires his stun gun as brooks takes off. Heres the moment the altercation becomes deadly. We slow it down for you. You can see rolf chasing brooks. Each man carrying a taser. Watch as he moves his taser from his right hand to his left and reaches toward his handgun. Thats when brooks turns and fires the taser and rolf shoots, firing three times at brooks as he flees. Bystanders almost immediately begin your careers are done. You shot at me for no reason. A few minutes after hes shot, the officers begin to provide medical treatment. He was taken to the hospital and later pro announced dead. One officer was terminated. The other is placed on administrative duty and erica shields, the chief of police in atlanta, resigned over the weekend. Of course theres an ongoing investigation. Potentially with charges coming this week. Cnn. Our next guest is the former president of the police foundation. The former police chief joins me from redlands in california. Thanks for doing so. Im curious, your take. It seems that there were choices made. What is your evaluation . He fired the moment the suspects back is turned. I think this video shows how quickly what is starting out as a very casual and a very cordial inaction between mr. Brooks and the office e the officers can go just off the rails. They are talking to him and eventually decide to place him under arrest. One thing i thought was surprising, in the video ive seen, they did not tell him he was under arrest. They grablds him and told him to put his hands behind his back. It sounds like he was drinking. That may have startled him. Then he took off. The decision for the officers to use their weapons will be framed around whether it was necessary and reasonable and whether the force that they used was proportion al. One imagines, you have to be fearing for your own life and it didnt appear his life was threatened. He died after falling asleep at his car at a wendys. Do you feel charges are appropriate given what youve seen . If so, what sort of charges . I havent seen enough of this but apparently the autopsy indicated he was shot in the back. So again, whether this was necessary, whether it was reasonable and proportion al, if mr. Brooks is running away from the officers, and he is not present going, treatmenting an immediate threat. It is to prove whether they thought they had a reasonable fear for their life. When you look temperature, you have to ask yourself a couple questions. Obviously the things mr. Brooks did were not right. He stole the gun from the officers. Thats probably a felony. They knew where he was, if they had to, they could let him go and get him later on. The officers will have their side of the story and tender a defense. I think it will come back to whether the officers life was at threat. It is pretty hard to argue that when the suspect is running away. This is all being part of the discussion about reform. What sort of reform would help . What sort of deescalation and treatment of the suspect . So if you go back to the very beginning of this incident, it looks to me like theyre probably arresting him for drunk driving. So one of the questions might be, first you have to tell him. Thats part of the deescalation. What it is im about to do. When you put your hands on somebody and you dont tell them why youre doing that, especially if theyve been drinking, theyre going to panic so thats part of the problem. The other problem is, in this discussion about how we resolve low, lower grade criminal offenses, there are going to be some people who say why couldnt they have given him a ride home . He was not causing them any problems. He was cooperating, very polite to them. And i think even suggested if they give him a ride home or he could go a few blocks and go home. Of course there will be other people, especially those who have loved one of drunk drivers who will take a very different stance on that. Very quickly, a lot of talk about defunding at the moment, and of course, the notion of abolishing departments is not really about it. It is about social services that could deal with some issues Police Currently handle. What do you think of that . There are situations, maybe this isnt the one, where police dont want to handle it. Im not sure this is one of those situations but every cop i can, this would have been my opinion when i was still a police officer, that cops dont volunteer for that. Society has decide that had theyre the First Responders in those situations. I think Police Chiefs across the country will be very supportive of this idea of shifting this responsibility to other First Responders that have better training or better able to handle that situation. They dont want to do this. It is who we have decided as a society will be the First Responders and now is the time for to us change that. I think you hit the nail on the head. His sister lived a couple blocks away. Really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Youre welcome. The powerful picture of a black protester carrying a white man to safety is going viral. This all happens during clashes on saturday between black lives matter demonstrators and far right groups in london. Patrick huxinson said he picked the man up after noticing he was injured, and carried him to Police Nearby to keep him safe. More on this pretty unforgettable image. At londons Waterloo Station where these clashes broke out saturday. It is an amazing image. Tell us more about the man and his motives. Reporter thats exactly right. And those steps just behind me there is where this whole scene unfolded. There were right wing demonstrators of the black lives matter movement. The movement had canceled for the weekend but Patrick Hutchinson said he knew there would be young supporters of the movement that would come out. That they could potentially get into trouble and he wanted to act as a peace keeper. Can you describe to me whats happening in this picture . My friends and i are putting a cord around this man. He was on the stairs. Lying in a fetal position. Anything was about to happen to him. The first thing was to pick him up. You could have looked at this maam and thought, he is my enemy. Why did you choose to help him . There was a particular thought i had that you know, you have to show some sort of, you know, love for your fellow man, okay . Regardless. I was saying, if the other three officers that were present when george floyd was unfortunately murdered, if they just one of them had stepped in and stopped their fellow officer from doing what he did, he would be alive today. And you put him on your shoulder. You carried him to the police. Then what happened . Im carrying him. My friends are protecting me and the man on my shoulder. He was still receiving blows. You could feel people trying to hit him. Carried him over to the police. And i said, here you are. And up with of the Police Officers said thank you. You did a good thing there, man. What do you want people to take away when they look at that picture . Hopefully theyll take away, breaking down the race barriers and realizing, were all one people. Were all one race. This is what is so extraordinary. It doesnt have one address. Not one leader. It is not a mono lith. It is how you interim rhett the idea. For patrick, it men coming out on saturday even though hed never attended any of the demonstrations. Coming out on saturday trying to keep the peace between these two viciously opposed groups and helping a man who could have potentially held prejudices against him, although he did not know who that man was and he remains under identified. His home is that yes, he acted on instinct but there is a message. Everyone is equal, everyone is human. He homes that man who was rescued my see that picture and think that way as well. It would be interesting to see the other mans reaction. Indeed. Thank you for that. Fascinating. All right. Well take a quick break. Health officials around the world agree. Face masks are the most effective way to prevent the spread of covid19. Why are so many people reluctant to wear them . Elp. Hey lily, im hearing a lot about 5g. Should i be getting excited . Depends. Are you gonna want faster speeds . I will. More reliability . Oh, also yes. Better response times . Definitely. Are you gonna be making sourdough bread . Oh, is that 5g related .

Switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. You know, like the sign says. Brazil has reported another steam rise on coronavirus infections. Health officials counting more than 17,000 new cases and at least 612 new deaths. The daily death toll thought to be the highest in the world. It is higher than the u. S. On certain days, where the outbreak is still getting worse in at least 18 states. But things have been improving in other parts of the country. New york state, the former epicenter of the pandemic, has reported 23 new deaths. The lowest number since the outbreak began. Some cities are starting to reopen. The governor warning the process can be rolled back if there are too many violations of the reopening policy. He and other officials are still urging americans to wear masks as well. Now, on twitter the surgeon gentle said Wearing Masks could reduce a systematic spread of the virus. Joining me now, professor from texas a m university. The professor led a team of researchers who had a study on face masks. It does show Wearing Masks is the most effective way to prevent infections. Lets talk more about this study with the professor. Yeah, this study was fascinating. It found that masks alone prevented more than 78,000 infections in italy over a brief period of time. More than 66,000 infections in new york city. The bottom line is they work. There are many different rules around the u. S. Do you think wearing them should be mandatory . Yes. What were looking at here, we look directly into the data, the trend of the pandemic. So were looking three places. So the first place is china, the second place is italy. The third place is new york city. So what were looking at here, were looking to how the cases, how the curve goes. Like in china, they have almost simultaneous incrementation of different measures so it is very difficult to see. In other places like italy and new york city, what they did is at first, like in italy, they lock down the city. So after that, they saw it going up and started implementing face covering. And finally, like in new york city. The mandate face covering, basically, what you look at here, look at the cases. How the curve change, how the curve becomes flattening. What we see in italy, and also new york city, the curve really start to bend and when face mask was implemented. So they work. Its a bit of a no brainer in a way. There is a lot of resistance to it. Particularly in the u. S. Why do you think westerners are resistant to wearing them . Thats a very interesting question. If i consider most countries in asia, like china, japan, and south korea, and i think they have the tradition. One of the problems there is that the air, like china with enormous problems with air pollution. Everybody knows putting on face mask will protect yourself. So people are sort of used to those practices. Somehow in the u. S. , we are just used to blue skies and the people dont feel comfortable putting on the face masks. And youre a scientist. But there is a political aspect of this. There has been mixed messaging from leaders. The new york governor man dating masks. The surgery gentle strongly advising their use. You have the president and the administration in general pretty. Actively avoiding them. There is a photograph that was tweeted by the Vice President of him in front of dozens of staff members, no spacing, no masks. Im curious as someone who has seen the effectiveness of them. What is the risk of that sort of messaging from the top . I find it very hard to understand this situation. But as a scientist i believe the disease is preventible by taking some important procedures. To me, i think you will greatly reduce the chance that youre going to contract the virus if you put on a face mask, and then you practice good hand hygiene as well as practicing social distancing. So i simply do not understand why people are so resistant. One final question. There is going to be a big political rally next week. 20,000 or more people in an auditorium. Would you go to that . I would not go to there. I think i think very unsafe unless everybody is putting on a face mask. A really interesting study. I appreciate your time. Thank you so much. Thank you.
