louis-- in ferguson last year in the midst of the protests over the george floyd death, ferguson elected its first black player. st. louis itself elected its first black mayor. has this changed people's attitudes? is there hope now there's going to be a greater connection between the communities and city hall? >> certainly there is hope. one of the things that i think people around the country need to realize is, as i've already said, michael brown was shot and killed seven years ago. and it took almost seven years see monumental political change, like tashara jones being elected the first black mayor of st. louis. it's not only monumental because of that designation, but she ran on a number of platform planks that featured things that activists here have been calling for since brown's death, which include shifting money from the police department to things like social workers and closing things like the workhouse, which is a notorious jail here in the city. so now is kind of the time for people that have been calling for change to put a lot of the calls of action into action. and they'r

ferguson. some of the most broad court reforms at the time, at least in the region, as well as so many other forward leaning reforms that pushed the city forward and served as an example for what other cities can do. so absolutely, i think it's good when the federal government gets involved, but also there needs to be a partnership and that's how it needs to be viewed and i think it started off rocky with ferguson but that's ultimately where we ended up and i think the city is better for it. >> wesley bell, st. louis county prosecutor, missouri, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >>> this just in to cnn, president biden declares the massacre of armenians under the ottoman empire a genocide. although it happened more than 100 years ago in the middle of world war i, getting that declaration from the u.s. has been a key priority for armenians ever since. joe johns is traveling with the president now in wilmington, delaware. so give us more. >> 106 years ago in fact, fr

let me bring in jon meacham and niall ferguson. john has one of the 11 books he's written, he's an occasional adviser to president biden. niall ferguson is a columnist for bloomberg opinion. his most recent book is the square and the tower and he's written about 11 books. jon, let me ask you, to start this, place the series of two actions even before the first 100 days have happened in some historical context. >> well, i think the fdr, the great society analogies spring to mind because it is a democratic president confronting a moment where he sees a need and wants to meet it. i have a slightly -- i don't want to say more nuanced look at it but i do think there is an important point here which is that biden, by my historical reading, is not trying to fundamentally go outside of the american experience. he's trying to act within a tradition that was largely bipartisan, sometimes inadvertently so. this is like fdr, but also like dwight eisenhower. and i think one of the things that led to our current divisions and some of the reflexi

ferguson is a suburb of st. louis, which last week elected tishara jones as the city's first black woman mayor. she will take the oath of officer on april 20th. joining us now, tishara jones, mayor-elect of st. louis, missouri. thank you for joining us. this is a night where you're sharing a screen with the kinds of stresses that cities are facing across this country because of the way that police officers have been using deadly force. what is your reaction to the situation in brooklyn center tonight, and the minneapolis area generally, and how they're trying to maintain the peace with a combination of a curfew and a very large police presence there? >> lawrence, thank you for having me. it's an honor to be here with you. first, my condolences to the family of daunte wright. as a mother of a black son, i know all too often how fearful mothers can be when their sons leave their house. my son and i had the talk one too many times, too many times for me to remember. and to watch this energy in brooklyn center, minn

from ferguson to cleveland. one of the most prominent being the probe into the ferguson police department, after police officer fatally shot 18 year old michael brown in 2014. but the trump administration almost completely abandon the practice. under both attorneys general jeff sessions and bill, barr opening just one investigation into the springfield massachusetts police department in 2018. at the time, critics noted, with a huge mistake that was, wooden unused power. >> this justice department, is not interested in remedying major systemic problems in police departments. >> the president jeff sessions, bill barr, have been uniformly focused on dismantling the police reform efforts, that the justice department had been engaged. in this justice department has really walked away from the role that it needs to play. donald trump lost and joe biden won, and today the federal government is getting back in the game. joe biden's attorney general announcing an investigation into derek chauvin's police department. >> y

if we look back to michael brown's death in ferguson in 2014, and the death of eric garner, tamir rice, and others in the aftermath of that, the geary institute of justice did a study and found that 34 states and the district of columbia passed 79 laws on police reform in the two years after ferguson. so there was a flurry of activity at that time to pass laws on things like body cameras, training for police, crisis intervention team training on handling individuals with mental health problems, so there has been forward movement of some kind in recent years. but in the aftermath of george floyd's tragic death last summer, there has been movement forward. the national conference of state legislatures as said 30 states have passed 140 laws, or a little more, in the policing area just since last may. but i said that the terrain has shifted now because, despite all the attention that has been focused on this area by states and also local governments in changing laws, the attention to the verdict last week of not only our country, but the international global community, has really been fixe

now it's been a great day for sir alex ferguson — not only did manchester united win — but the former manager had a share in each of the first three winners at the grand national festival at aintree. all eyes were on the two time national winner tiger roll in the betway bowl chase, but he could only finish a very distant fourth as, clan des obeaux brought up the hat—trick for ferguson, ridden by harry cobden and trained by paul nicholls — he came home 26 lengths clear. sir alex says it's the best day's racing he's had since getting involved in the sport 20 years ago. i about that. those are his words not mine. yet, it was a great performance. ahead of the tub from one of better performances and likely done the last two years and keeping it fresh. the french open will start a week later than scheduled, it will run from the 30th may to the 13th ofjune. tournament organisers at roland garros say they want the largest number of fans to be able to attend, and with france in a third national lockdown, moving the championships will give them the best possible chance. now this will impact

. >> jon heecham and niall ferguson. also the world health organization controversial report on the origins of covid. the u.s. and 13 nations express concern about the paper complaining that the investigators lacked access to crucial information. i'll talk to the virus hunter peter daszak. and what in the world happened to german? in the first wave it controlled covid remarkably well. among the best in the west. now angela merkel admits they have lost control. i will explore the fate of miss merkel and her nation. >>> but first here is my take. while donald trump claimed he wants to make america great again, president biden is attempting to actually do it. trump's slogan got americans thinking about the 1950s and early 1960s, when the u.s. dominated the world and the economy produced rising wages for workers and executives alike. a defining feature of the years was federal investment in infrastructure, scientific research and education. by contrast, washington in recent years has mostly spent money to fund private consum

let's talk about the similarities too to ferguson because there was major upset in the city and those who ran the city and there are major resignations today in this community. but the community wants more than that. they want answers. the acting chief saying he doesn't have a plan yet, captain. he was only notified of his new position an hour before going to speak in public. what would you advise him to do at this point? >> well, at the on set i would advise him and the mayor should have had a meeting and talked about it. he could have got in front of the cameras and gave a plan, gave an approach. he needs to get in front of the camera and tell him what are the plans moving forward. i think when we see what we saw in ferguson, at the time of chaos e&at the time of these situations, everyone steps up -- >> captain, please stand by. i need to get back to my reporter on the scene. miguel, reporter, what are you seeing? go ahead, miguel. >> reporter: police have now moved in very, very rapidly. looking at us over to the right side. you can see police moving in a line. the entire number o

and to watch this energy in brooklyn center minnesota, reminds me of ferguson. and i know that many of my friends who were frontline protesters, are having some dramatic experiences watching this play over and over again. and it's bringing back memories of the times that they spent on the streets of ferguson. >> i believe your son aiden is 13 years old. how old was he when you first had your talk with him? >> he was about six or seven. because he goes to school in an all white suburb. and i had to remind him that tom, that these things can happen. if a police officer pulls you, over and he told me in about ten, when he was walking with some friends in their neighborhood. that they were stopped, and asked questions by police, in unfortunately they continued to. go but that was his first memory of feeling afraid. when a police officer approached him. >> what is it mean and what do you hope it will mean to policing in st. louis, now that you will be the city's first black woman mayor? >> well one of the things i said during my campaign, is that we cannot reform our

that 34 states and the district of columbia passed 79 laws on police reform in the two years after ferguson. there was a flurry of activity at that time to pass laws on things like body worn cameras, training for police, what's called crisis intervention team training on handling individuals whose -- who have mental health problem to read that has -- mental health problems. in the aftermath of george floyd 's tragic death, there has been movement forward. national conference and state legislatures have said that 30 states have passed 140 laws or a little more than that in the policing area just sent last may. the terrain has shifted now because despite all of the attention that has been focused on this area by states and local governments in changing laws. the attention with the verdict last week of not only our country but the international, global community has been fixed on why policing, in their view, is still broken and what more can be done to fix it. i think that attention will continue to be mobilized around what steps can be taken to move forward in this area and that's why it's im

roger ferguson, thank you so much for joining us. let me just start by asking, why did you sign this letter? >> i have a strong point of view as to i think the other signers that voting is a funmental right. we know that millions have died or sacrificed their lives to ensure that the right of americans to vote, and i thought it was corporate for corporate leaders to speak up at this moment as i lacked at that legislation. >> woodruff: so when the governor of georgia brian kemp and the backers of this law say that it's fair, that it's designed to make voting more accessible to people, what is your -- how to you answer that? >> well, answer it by looking at some of the issues that you raised early on. as an example, in terms of the number of drop boxes. in the city of atlanta, the number odrop boxes based on a calculation under the law might drop from a 40 to only 8. many of the drop boxes, in fac all of them, would be put behind doors in office buildings that would be closed during the evenings and other times when working folks may w

if we look back to michael brown's death in ferguson, back in 2014, and the death of eric garner, tamir rice and others in the aftermath of that, the very institute of justice did a study and found that 34 states, and the district of columbia, passed 79 laws on police reform in the two years after ferguson. and so there was a flurry of activity at that time to pass laws on things like body-worn cameras, on training for police, on what's called crisis intervention team training of handling individuals with mental health problems. so there has been a forward movement of some kind in recent years. but in the aftermath of george floyd's tragic death last summer, there has been movement forward. and, in fact, national conference of state legislatures has totalled up and said that 30 states have passed 140 laws or a little more than that in the policing area just since last may. but i said that the terrain has shifted now because despite the -- all the attention that has been focused on this area by states and also local governments in changing laws, the attention with the verdict last week o

take ferguson, missouri, for instance, where the majority of the population is black. it was discovered police in ferguson were directed to generous revenue by using fines, fees and other various tactics by targeting black, working class people. and in a city where the median household income is barely $40,000 a year, a single missed, late, a partial payment of a fine, for a small violation could potentially mean jail sometime. in fact it did for at least one person. the doj cited a ferguson resident who was ticketed for parking her car illegally, that single infraction ended up costing one woman more than $1,000 in fines. and six days in jail. according to researchers at the university of minnesota, the payments of outstanding fines and fees were pursued so aggressively that in 2013, they made up one-fifth of ferguson's entire revenue base. an 80% increase over just two years prior. black people were funding a system that was oppressing them and bleeding them dry. again, these predatory tactics are not unusual, nor are they specific to any city. municipalities across

louis and nearby ferguson after the police killing of michael brown in 2014. this week, you tweeted, after the police killing of ma'khia bryant in columbus, ohio, that you would rather bystanders call you, your wife, essentially anyone but the police should your own 16-year-old son be in jeopardy because you fear for his life. you devoted your life to helping kids of color. i would like to hear your thoughts as we keep burying them unnecessarily after fatal encounters with police. >> yeah. reverend al, i'm a father to four children, three black boys. we continue to wrestle with the realities of safety. i'm on the journey of abolition, because i find myself in a place where having fought in the context of ferguson late at night in the streets with activists, being tear gassed with young millennial mentors of mine, and then fighting through discussing solutions for police reform through the ferguson commission with leaders in our region, quite frankly, to having some of the legislation to be repealed years after, i find myself disheartened, i find myself feeling

her political career began in the streets with the black lives matter movement in ferguson, moes, after the killing of michael brown in the shared home down. now the activists roots have prepared her to push for progressive change in congress and last week's verdict in the derek chauvin trial is a first step. >> this verdict is a step, it is a popping of the lock to be able to get to the place that we could open the door and really start to do the work. this was accountability, but it is not yet justice. justice for us is saving lives. >> we sat down with the congresswoman on friday to talk about her -- about the verdict, police reform and president biden's first 100 days in office. >> you became an activist because of michael brown who was killed blocks from where you grew up in ferguson and you were running for office when george floyd was kill and now derek chauvin has been convicted. what does that mean to you as an activist and for the broader movement that you are apart of? >> you know, so many people just from around the country said so many things about us when we were a part of

he is also the author of "13 days in ferguson." sir, i remember you from my time on the ground in ferguson, when the city was literally in flames, but before that, you have a tough job of bringing folks together. how did you do that? >> by communicating, by actually getting out there and talking to the people, but listening, not having quick answers but listening and taking action based on what i was hearing. >> lawrence: yeah. officer johnson, when i was there on the ground, one thing that i noticed is that there was a narrative on the ground for the community, because there was already an investigation done locally where you talk to community folks and they had a narrative about mike brown. they knew the encounter, those people end up testifying with the grand jury, but then there was a national media narrative, as well. in these local situations, how do you get out in front of a local story that has become this national narrative? >> well, i think you have to be transparent, in every way that you can. be out front with it. the t

we're joined by professor robin shattock, head of immunity at imperial college london, and dr brian ferguson, an immunologist at cambridge university. gentleman, think you very much for joining us. we will crack on street away, because we have an awful lot of interest in this and a lot of questions, so professor robin, i'm going to come to you first. claire is asking if you are under 30 and have had the first dose of astrazeneca, what should you do? should you have the second dose? yes, she should definitely go ahead and have the second dose, that is what is recommended at the moment, and so far we have no recorded cases of this type of blood clot with the second dose of the astrazeneca vaccine. it does not mean it completely removes the risk, but it looks so far as of the risk may be lower, if you have had a first dose and not had an adverse event. and lower, if you have had a first dose and not had an adverse event. and in keein: in and not had an adverse event. and in keeping in line _ and not had an adverse event. and in keeping in line with _ and not had an adverse event. and in keeping

in ferguson, missouri, used this for revenue so black people become just income generators, we just stop them all until we get enough crimes to charge. >> brooklyn center reminds me so strongly, joy, of ferguson and it was something that mayor elliott said at the press conference today that really grabbed my attention, he made the point that none of their police officers live inside of the city. >> yep. >> that was what happened in ferguson and we all know that that's what really makes it so much easier for these departments to objectify people here where you have a lot of white police officers who don't live in the city, as you point out it become a profit making mechanism so it goes unchecked for far too long. what this really points out is how critical it is for joe biden and merrick garland to get their ducks in a row at the justice department and get some of their senior level people confirmed by the senate and in place because it's clear that doj will have a lot of work on its hands going back to the concept decree process that's used to transform entire police departments to requi

roger ferguson, thank you so much for joining us. let me just start asking, why did you sign this letter? roger: i have a strong point of view that voting is a fundamental right. we know that millions have died or sacrificed their lives to ensure the right of americans to vote. and it was important for corporate news to speak up at this moment as i looked at that distillation. -- that legislation. judy: so when the georgia governor in the backers say it is fair and designed to make voting more accessible to people , how do you answer that? roger: i answer it by looking at some of the issues you raised early on. in terms of the number of dropped boxes. in the city of atlanta the number of drop boxes based on a calculation under the law might drop from 40 to only age. many of those drop boxes come all of them would then be put behind indoors and in office buildings that would be closed during the evenings and other times when working folks may want to go and drop off their ballots. as you observed at the beginning, there are new restri

we were on the ground in ferguson. we talked to the folks, we knew what was happening, and the obama doj under eric holder made a decision because the evidence was laid out pretty clearly. but she is making, you know, eric holder look like bill barr right now. where is this going? >> that's a great point, lawrence, and it's going to be with you and you are doing a fantastic job, by the way. that's right, eric holder -- i mean, it was eric holder's doj, for the love, they had their own forensics investigation and came out with their own report. but you know, didn't we just hear the headline about how there is a school that did not want to be named after the obamas because apparently the obama faction of the democrat party is not left enough for all of the people that are embracing the marxist critical race theory, like miss clark seems to be doing here? when you can't even acknowledge facts, and there were multiple reports in that investigation it come in the whole case, when you can't even embrace flat facts and can't

in 2014 was the ferguson effect of the combined phenomenon of officers backing off the constitutional proactive enforcement under the phony narrative that they are racist and resulting in the emboldening of criminals. through 2016 we see the largest two-year increase in homicides in the last five decades another 2000 blacks killed two no objection from the black lives matter activist now post george floyd last year 2020 saw the largest percentage increase of homicide in the nations history. probably another 3000 blacks killed last year compared at 2019 for doesn't black children gun down in their homes and front porches attending birthday parties and barbecues by the insane retaliatory shootings not a single one of those black children's death were protested by the activist or politicians so will only get worse the crime wave of 2020 is continuing unabated and the 20 blacks killed every day in drive-by shootings as usual are passing without the slightest moment of recognition from the politicians. >> isn't this the core of the matter in terms of how cold-blooded the movement is? it is

roger ferguson, always good to see you. i hope you come on back. maybe a lot more you'll have a little extra time. >> thank you so much always a pleasure. >> thanks. talk to you soon becky? >> when we come back, some news breaking earlier this morning. boeing says that some 737 max planes should be grounded while it addresses a potential electrical issue no more news on this, but southwest airlines now pulling planes from its schedule phil lebeau will join us with an update on what's happening next. stay tuned, you're watching "squawk box" and this is cnbc. labradoodles, cronuts, skorts.

you about it again, there were real similarities between the situation they found themselves in ferguson, the situation they found themselves in in north carolina in 1969 attempting to build this city, both places people work two thirds of the population and yet in both places they had no power, all of the levers of power, political and economic control by white and it seemed obvious to me that although the protests were triggered by the killing of michael brown, what really laid behind that was years and decades of frustration and resentment about the fact that black people were a majority of the population and yet had none of the power and that's what they were attempting to address with this block power, black ownership in the community and that parallel between what they were trying to achieve 50 years earlier, 45 years at the time and african-american residents in ferguson and baltimore and minneapolis and all these other places were trying to achieve and i felt there's a lot so teach us about inequalities in our society and in particular about the economic qualities between african

you were not the chief in ferguson when michael brown was killed, but you have dealt with the aftermath, both in the community and the police department. what is your takeaway from the death of george floyd after watching all that video, and how should the city prepare for what might be coming with the verdict? >> my takeaway is it was tragic. it was something that should not have happened, and we all sympathize with the family of mr. floyd and his friends and loved ones for what happened to him. and it's a difficult situation for us to deal with, and we're all watching the trial to see, you know, how things unfold with it and with the understanding that if derek chauvin is not held accountable, that we probably will see, you know, our outpouring of frustration from that verdict if it does go that way, so it's just about planning and communicating with people in the public and, you know, we respect and we honor everybody's right to peacefully protest and our hope is if people do come out, it will be peaceful, but we also understand that sometimes, you know, those events do unfold and it

you will remember, don, back when michael brown was killed by a police officer in ferguson, missouri, that caused unrest there for more than six months of protests. and in that case, the doj looked at the patterns and practices and saw a lot of things that they thought were illegal. and so we are going to be in the weeks and months ahead, we're going to be waiting to see exactly what that looks like. i should mention, the brass of the police department has said that they are going to cooperate fully with this investigation. the city council in minneapolis said they welcome this investigation into the police department's patterns and practices. and so you do have cooperation from the places that are going to have to be giving information to the doj, they will talk to many, many, many people as they did in ferguson, which is the last time we really had a case where everyone heard this idea of the doj coming in and looking at patterns and practices. so it is a big deal. it is something that could have an impact on the police department and frankly the community. but we will have to wait

is a mixed bag at best and keep in mind when the department of justice came to ferguson in 2014 or 2015 there were 1200000 sorry there were 600000 arrest warrants in a region of $1200000.00 people and there were 3 and a half arrest warrants in ferguson for each family and their response from the d.o.j. was to get more resources to the police to get them more money and get them more training or way past that so anything that we are that the d.o.j. would do now i hope would be much more aggressive now but you can never expect that the department of justice to support something like the abolition of policing or defunding the police and the need to go to who's been nominated is on record as saying she doesn't support it so and that's one of the best candidates we could ever imagine to to run that department so i would be skeptical and i would also you know counsel that one of the impacts of the department of justice coming in is that it takes the wind out of the sails of movements and organizers is they're fighting to a table to talk about things and then they are excluded from the inner wo

we will not forget them the fergusons in the. only a few people could attend the requiem due to social distancing rules the included chancellor angela merkel as well as relatives of people who had died during the pandemic most of the ceremony was given over to them and their poignant stories. i target 8 days of worry and of waiting and waiting for the doctor to call me every day hoping for a miracle praying that my worst fears would not come true my worst fears came true on the 14th of april i was allowed to go to the i.c.u. to my husband when it was clear that medicine could do nothing more for him. germany's president frank valter steinmeyer spoke of hope during the ceremony germany was able to keep rates of infection in the initial phase of the pandemic due to lockdown measures and social distancing. but numbers started to rise last autumn and know the country is battling the 3rd wave. steinmeier said by remaining united and caring for each other the pun demick will pass by. words of encouragement for a nation like so many oth

a month later police shot and killed 18-year-old michael brown in ferguson, missouri, confronting him over a robbery his family said he wasn't a part of. a witness said brown had his hands up when a police officer opened fire. it sparked chanting hands up, don't shoot. the officer in that case not charged. last month, police shot 26-year-old breonna taylor, breaking down the door in the middle of the night and her boyfriend fired and thought they were being burglarized and officers fired back killing taylor. they said they were justice to protect themselves. one was indicted for wanton endangering neighbors. not charged, no one has been charged with taylor's death. >> george floyd's family is reacting with joy, relief and messages to all the supporters. here's his brother. >> so many emotions right now. i'm very thankful and grateful. grateful to the people in this world for the support to prayers, the love that was shown whether you sent it by social media or e-mails or however, we just appreciate the love. >> he went on to say he will salute his brother, george, everyday for the res

we saw this with the ferguson mike brown situation. when the department of justice went in and investigated the ferguson police department we learned some of the tickets they were writing and racially biased and socially economic decisions made to impact people who were working class and poor. what can come from this are recommendations to make a change so we can shift and move away where we can all live and work together. >> harris: tammy, your response. >> well, i agree in part but what we've got here clearly is minneapolis has been struggling with this issue as noted. they did cut funding. they had a surge in crime in the midst of that. there is an issue also of derek chauvin. some people might not realize this, he was reported as being a training officer in the department. so if there is concern regarding that when it comes to the attitudes that have been placed in some of the other officers but we can also remember that the other officers with him the day of the george floyd now murder which we can call it that with this convictio

you led the response in ferguson after michael brown was killed by police. that reportedly started over a teenager steal ing. >> minor traffic violation, hanging deodorizer in your car. we have to look at the laws that allow police to have these encounters and affect communities of color. we've got to do a better job in our training. i was a police officer for 32 years. most of our training wasn't conducted by a person of color. that is other things we have to+ do, be inclusive in our training, who is giving our training and the perspective they can give law enforcement fors. >> van, you say your dad was awe police officer, your uvengle was a police officer. you come from a police family. growing up, did you find yourself in a situation like so many other young black men in america when confront by police? >> my cop was a dad and in the military before he became an educator, my uncle milton retired from the police force very recently, my favorite uncle. yeah, being a nerdy college student didn't prevent me from having very negative encounters. and it was a d

ferguson. baltimore. and a new era in america's racial justice movement. thank you very much for coming on. and after floyd was killed, you wrote about the horrible cycle. it starts with the killing of a black man. then come the protests. then come what i believe you referred to as small changes. then too often, the cycle repeats. and we are. in now. meantime, the family of a 20-year-old don't have their son to hug anymore because he is gone. dispatched by a police weapon. is it possible to overstate the level of frustration right now? >> i'm not sure it is. as i was waiting to come on air with you, i was wooching my phone an instagram video from a person in minneapolis. she was saying to the camera, this is why we can't semicrumbs. we have to get a real change. we have to get big systemic shifts. and i think what we are years is a generation, many of whom entered this space in the obama era who came into adulthood in a way in 2009. they were enraged by what happened with travon martin, with michael brown and rice. 16 and 17, and you have a city now in min

here we have the original jersey that dottie ferguson wore for the rockford peaches. she led the league in steals, and you can imagine that that was probably a pretty difficult record to achieve giving that she was having to slide in such a short uniform. some of the sleeves here show some of the wear and tear over the years, but she wound up stealing 461 bases in her ten-year career. then we also shed some light on girls breaking into little league. a number of lawsuits were filed in the early 1970s, and so it's not until 1974 that girls were able to join little league teams, and then when you take that to its furthest degree, here we have mo'ne davis on the cover of "sports illustrated" after she threw a winning game in the world series in williamsport for little league. so black ballplayers finally had a shot at the major leagues in 1947. the first one to break the color line is jackie robinson, and larry doby will do that two month later in the american league. the library is very fortunate to have the branch rickie papers and the jackie robinson collection, and t

you know ferguson and many towns are still rebuilding from many years ago? it's not helpful to the community. i have a colleague that mother got her meds from that pharmacy and target and now has to travel 45 miles out to get the medicine for her elderly mother. this is just not the way. what we saw is that the american way actually worked. that doesn't mean we don't have many improvements. senator tim scott has talked about his story. we have a ways to go. the conversations is happening. i caution people when it comes to these national narratives. you cannot fix this problem nationally. you cannot fix it with national legislation. individual communities have to sit down, have conversations and do the right thing. what we saw in minnesota is that community, a jury among his peers said this is not us. so we go back to work and we treat our fellow americans as human beings. that's what we do. >> martha: tim scott worked so hard on police reform on the senate side. he couldn't get it anywhere. he said bring me every amendment on the table, democrats and we can

nope, it's not just ferguson, this is everywhere. people didn't necessarily believe us. now people believe. the question like then, now, what do we do? remember, 2020, police killed every year this year. in 2021 alone police have killed over 300 people as of today. daunte wright is just the first story that people have known nationally. we know that training is interesting. the research even says that training changes police officer attitudes. does not change their behavior. body cameras. the research says it might change police officer attitudes. it doesn't change their behavior. imagine if you had a job, ari, you can do whatever you wanted and the worst case scenario was a training. i mean, that's where we are today. so this is the moment for a real scale back of police power in their scope. and that is one local politicians. it is. it is a mayor's, governors, legislators and city council people. that's where the power. >> i appreciate what you're saying. so much of it is so deeply rooted both at the structural level of how local government and local funding and local

delrish: when i took on the ferguson police department, we went door-to-door introducing , ourselves to people and talking to them about what their priorities were. it had a number of affects. they got to know me, my stuff, we got to know who they were. the next time we responded to a place, it was not the first tim we were meeting someone. when you get to know people and start building trust, you can respond better. you can come up with that her and are more legitimate -- come up with solutions and you are more legitimate. i am hopeful we will solve all of our problems. the brain trusts the heart. all of that is there to solve problems. we have to adjust and adapt. even with problems today, rather than thinking we will get to a destination, we have to realize the work is continual and requires continual change and adoption -- adjustment to the realities that exist. erik: i am very hopeful. this is my 34th year in law enforcement. i remember when rodney king happened and there was riots and it was a call for change. were there any real changes going on? not really. this past year wit

thank you very much, indeed, bloomberg's george ferguson. there's a top live running right now. you can go through that boeing earnings call. dave calhoun leading that. tomorrow i am going to get the opportunity to talk to his opposite, guillaume faury, over at airbus. alix: from planes to oil, we get the eia numbers. we did see a slight build in crude inventories, large when coming from cushing in the middle of the country. but where you see the u.s. gold coast, a very big draw despite the fact that imports actually increased. so some moderating signs of stronger demand still coming in. oil off the highs of the session , but still strong. goldman sees $80 brent as they are still bullish on the sector. coming up, we get the view on the u.s. economy from the c-suite. we will have an exclusive interview with rene jones, m&t bank chairman and ceo. this is bloomberg. ♪ ritika: this is "bloomberg markets." coming up, dirk van de put, mondelez ceo. this is bloomberg. ♪ alix: live from new york, i'm alix steel, with guy johnson in london. this is "bloomberg markets." the plan presi

i think what i'm seeing now kind of started out how we started out in ferguson. police on one side and protesters on the other side. and until we begin to integrate ourselves into the crowd, we didn't see success. so i think this is an opportunity to start that dialogue. >> omar, as you're out there, are you seeing what the captain is saying? are you just seeing police on one side, protesters on another? >> reporter: well, right now just seeing police on one side, protesters on another. i mean i would be very shocked if a few officers, you know, broke that line and tried to engage some of these protesters. but the captain is correct in that the numbers are extremely diminished right now. so if you were ever to do that, of course this would be a time versus when there were hundreds of course staring them down earlier when they were right at the gates of the brooklyn center police precinct. so, again, many have dispersed because i cannot stress enough that earlier today, even just an hour and a half, two hours ago, protesters were shoulder to shoulder right here in
