Today, two major new cases of men of color dying in confrontations with police. In colorado, the state attorney general will now investigate the death of 23yearold Elijah Mcclain at the hands of police back in 2019. Police said they were responding to a call about a sketchy person wearing a ski mask. He was walking home from a Convenience Store wearing headphones. I want to warn you, this video is upsetting. After an escalating confrontation, mcclain was put into a chokehold, given a sedative, apparently by emts and suffered cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital. He was later taken off life support and died. In tucson, a 22yearold died two months ago after officers responding to a call regarding Disorderly Conduct and again, we want to warn you, this video is disturbing. The Tucson PoliceDepartment Said officers did not use a chokehold, but admitted the officers violated guidelines by restraining mr. Lopez face down for 14 minutes. Lopez reportedly pleaded with officers, you hear him on the tape, pleaded for water, called for his grandmother and said he couldnt breathe before dying. Now, his relatives are calling for reform after hundreds of members of his community gathered for a vigil last night to show support for his family. Joining me now is vaughn hillyard, whos been closely following this story. Tell us the latest. Reporter chris, three officers that were involved in that restraint have since resigned. We should note, this was april 21st when this incident in the Early Morning hours took place. Carlos grandmother called the police and it was at that time in which the Police Showed up in which those 14 minutes right there, they greeted the man who was had cocaine in his system, he was found naked, but the first words out of his mouth were, im sorry, and he didnt put up a fight. At that point, they put the man on his chest on the ground. In the next 14 minutes as they attempted to handcuff the man they kept him chest down, throughout that video, he pleaded for water, he said, quote, i cant breathe. He called for his grandmother. 14 minutes into that video, the officer realized the man stopped breathing. Just this week the bodycam footage from one of those officers was released and what happened to carlos became event. I talked to the the police chief put forward his own message. The family doesnt accept that resignation. They want this Police Department to go in and transform the way it views cases like this in the future. I want to read for you part of that autopsy report. It says that, quote, cause of death is described as sudden cardiac arrest. With cardiac left ventricular contributing condition. The manner of the death is undetermined. Again, thats where the family pushes back, they said if it werent for those officers taking the life of their brother, son, he wouldnt have lost his life. Those officers resigned. T those family members last night saying, when they called 911 they were looking for help not for their son and for their father to be killed on the spot. Chris . Vaughn hillyard, thank you. We appreciate that update. Joining the conversation now is former u. S. Attorney paul butler, now a for fes so at the Georgetown School of law. Talk about the legal parts of this in a little bit, but theres horrifying. Theres your book, a horrifying sameness to this, you know, whether its george floyd with knee on his neck, 8 46 with pressure on his back and the words i cant breathe, i cant breathe. This is for i think a lot of people were seeing the way these patterns develop even though, paul, theyre in different parts of the country. Theres a sameness to what were seeing in a lot of these deaths. Down to the words i cant breathe. Thats what mr. Lopez said as the officers squeezed the life out of him. Theyre trained if they put something on phone, faced down on the ground, arms handcuffed behind the back, leaving that person in that position for a period of time creates a risk of death. Thats exactly what happened to mr. Lopez. Now, if these folks werent cops and they indicated that kind of criminal negligence they would be charged with manslaughter. But this new movement is about transparency and accountability for police officers. The concern i have beyond the individual in this case, this happened two months ago, chris, and the major just found out about it last week. Theres video the fact that the mayor didnt know about it until months after it happened indicates a real problem with transparency and, again, accountability. Yeah, and the mayor was on msnbc last night, not only did not she about it and the city council didnt know about it. They put in place a new rule, any time they have a situation like this they have to be informed within 24 hours. You have the case of Elijah Mcclain, that goes back to last year, and only now are people taking it seriously . Chris, the words he said, he said to those officers, respect my boundaries. Im an introvert. All he was doing was walking down the street in a ski mask. The 911 call literally said hes not committing a crime, i dont think hes dangerous, i dont think hes armed the Police Rushed him like a black man. Again, he hasnt done anything wrong. He doesnt understand why hes being attacked by the police and again, this situation escalates until death and theres sameness to this thats tragic. So, the president obviously, none of this i think would have been happening if not for the protests we have seen, the millions of people taking to the streets since the death of george floyd, but the president talked about the demonstrations last night on fox. I want to play some of what he said. Every night were going to get tougher and tougher and at some point theres going to be retribution. There has to be. Theyre vandals. Theyre terrorists in a sense. Talk about the impact of those remarks. Chris, the movement for black lives has resulted in the prosecution of many killer cops the movement for black lives is responsible for stakes right now changing their laws in ways that will make communities much safer, people who are protesting, people in this movement for black lives are reflecting american values, including equal justice under the law much more than the president reflects those values. Paul butler, i always appreciate having you on the program. Thank you so much. You have a great weekend. I want to make a promming note, joy reid is going to host a special hour tonight at 7 00 p. M.

I think, you know, theres definitely some Wishful Thinking that this would burn itself out over the summer but i dont think thats going to be the case. I think were going to have to live with for several months. Im hopeful that a vaccine can be available in december or january, and with mass vaccination, hopeful ly the pandemic will improved. I wont be surprise at all if we still have a number of cases over the next 12 months. That was a Critical Care physician warning that the coronavirus isnt going anywhere and that we could see cases well into next year. So, lets talk about everything, where it stands as we know it. Here are the facts right now more than 40,000 new cases reported here in the u. S. Yesterday. A record for the second straight day. So far more than a 125,000 americans have lost their lives to the coronavirus. More than 2. 5 million have been infected. In arizona, where hospitals are surging to near capacity, more than 30,000 cases are people between the age of 20 and 44, thats nearly half all of the cases in the state. Florida has the countrys highest percentage of senior citizens, but the median age of people testing positive has recently dropped from 65 to 35 in response the state suspended onpremise Alcohol Consumption today. Meanwhile the governor of texas has just closed most bars in the state and limited restaurant dining, as people younger than 30 represent a majority of cases in several counties there. I want to bring in dr. Michael anderson. Previo you know, doctor for such a long time we heard that this mostly was a disease mostly a virus that impacted old people. Now we have seen this change, to your mind, whats going on here . Is it complicated or just simply were seeing a lot of kids out at beaches and bars and thats what driving that. Its pretty straightforward, chris. This is a pandemic. I dont think about first wave, second wave or fall wave. This is virus before january of this year no one in the world had seen. No immunity to it. Its a very dangerous virus. How many millions of people have died from complications and no age is immune to this. In the children, multisystem inflammatory syndrome, but this pretty straightforward, this is a very dangerous novel virus, this isnt over. Masking, social distancing, handwashing, thats what we in the fight against this pearl harbor of our time if you will. So, today, the Vice President actually said it was encouraging that younger people account for more cases now, listen to what he said. Roughly half of new cases are americans under the age of 35, which which is at a certain level very encouraging news, as the experts tell us, because as we know so far in this pandemic, that younger americans are less susceptible to serious outcome of the coronavirus and the fact that were finding more younger americans who have contracted the coronavirus is a good thing. Well, i do you think its encouraging . Right after that, dr. Fauci came up and get one pal gets it and they pass it on, whats encouraging . Yeah, im not sure if its encouraging or not. I think we have not seen market increase in deaths lately, thats slightly reassuring but what makes these infected younger people, can then infect more and more members of their families or the general public. I think its a good that we havent seen spikes in mortality, but i agree with dr. Fauci, we still have a long way to go and what concerns me is with intensive care units in houston reporting almost 100 capacity with florida ramping up, i dont think we can become complacent in the fact that younger folks are getting infected. I dont think theres a lot of solace there. One of the other things that Vice President pence would not do today is say wear mack. Listen to what Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell had to say. Until we find a vaccine, these are really important. This is not as complicated as a ventilator. And this is a way to indicate that you want to protect others. And we all need, during this period, until we find a vaccine, to think of us as protecting not only ourselves, but others during this highly vulnerable period. And hes holding up the mask and hes saying its very simple. That is the part of this very complicated pandemic and so much we still have to learn about it and so many things, there you go. Thats the simple part, right . Thats the easiest part of this. Wear a mask. It really is. And it cant be political. It is really straightforward. Do you care about your fellow american citizens . This is to protect both me, i touch my face less. Im more cognizant of when im touching my face, but this is to prevent the spread to others so that big spike in folks in their younger age group, wearing this mask, once again, its not political. It says i truly care about preventing the spread of this. And hand washing, social distancing and masks, thats what we have right now. Its really straightforward and the data is irrefutable that this prevents the spread, period. Dr. Michael anderson of ucsf childrens hospital.

C. , the 51st state, but with Mitch Mcconnell and President Trump both very much against the effort, its success in the house today is probably as far as it will go. Joining me now from capitol hill is nbc news correspondent, leanne caldwell. Did the house Vote Along Party Lines . They did in the sense that all republicans voted against it. There was one democrat who voted against it. One of the most endangered democrats coming from a very red trump district. He joined the republicans but by and large, this is something very popular among democrats. The last time it was voted on in the house was 1993, where it did not pass, so 25 years later, r democrats are saying this is a huge success. Now you mentioned that its going to go nowhere in the senate. Absolutely right. Republicans are adamantly opposed to this. They say its because of reasons it should go through the constitution, but u in reality, its a very political issue. D. C. Is about 85 to 90 democrat. So if they got representation in congress, that would most likely be two democrat senator, democratic member and the house of representatives and republicans are not going to go for that.
