even jacob frey that was a bridge too far. and, yet, within a day, the minneapolis city council decided in their majority that they were going to move to defund their police. i don't have any solution any -- they haven't really told us what their plan is to quell the violence that's in their city. minneapolis is one of the most dangerous cities in the country. they are talking about flying -- social workers. there is gang violence and drive by shootings and homicides in that city. it's insane. but, it has taken off like a virus around the country. ainsley: some people have suggested replace police. they will should end traffic stops and justice if you are burglarized or a theft in your store you need to sit down with the perpetrator and you all need to talk it out and figure out a solution. now, the mayor though there is saying the exact same thing that joe biden said. so will he be booed by that community? >> well, look, you know, it doesn't work. it's some utopian dream. it's based in a hatred, i think, of the sort of mascul

over the weekend, the mayor of the city jacob frey was forced away from a rally after he would not commit to abolishing the police. now, nine of minneapolis council's 13 members said they would create a new system of public safety, telling demonstrators the police department could not be fundamentally changed. miguel otarola is the minneapolis reporter for startribune and was at powderhorn park in minneapolis where the pledge was taken. speaking to me earlier he said the actual process of setting up a community led body might take several months. i want to be very clear that there has been no vote made yet, this isjust a verbal pledge, a statement made in front of more than 1000 people to say that they are committed to end the minneapolis police department. it's definitely a sign of action based on the last couple of weeks of reaction that we've seen following the death of george floyd. what could this mean for the police force in the city? what kind of future can people start imagining now? we arejust beginning that conversation. in fact, inside the council itself, it's unclear what they

without a robust plan for public safety, both the chief and jacob frey said they can't back this idea of abolishing the police force, instead he announced an overhaul of what he called an antiquated system using real-time data to track the behavior of bad officers. he announced he's pulling out of contract talks with the police union. >> i am immediately withdrawing from the contract negotiations with the police federation. we don't just need a new contract with the police. we need a new compact with the police. one that centers around compassion and accountability. >> he also defended his decision from thursday when officers abandoned the third precinct building. he said his priority became preservation of life where protesters and police, and with the building surrounded and they said they were only a few sarah and i was and none of them were good. >> bill: and the meantime corporate america including black lives matter after george floyd's death, posting statements on social media promising to do better. many are also donating a lot of money. good to see you. this is what we found.

who bears much of the responsibility for the death of george floyd and the madness that ensued, jacob frey, says he refuses to cut funding for police. his message didn't sit well with the very mob of protesters that destroyed parts of his city over the past two weeks that he pandered to and to which he gave great license. take a listen to what happened over the weekend. [background sounds] [inaudible conversations] lou: the 38-year-old mayor who is alternately tried to blame just about everyone else, the mayor who tried to blame the president and who is now begging president trump for financial assistance for the city that he led to devastation and to chaos, the mayor finally standing up for the law, at least law enforcement. his decision, however, places him now in direct opposition with the city council. but the good mayor says he's not budging on his stance to maintain a police department. >> am i for entirely abolishing the police department? no, i'm not. and so over the coming days and weeks i'm looking forward to working with council and talking with them about deciphering about what

he does this with the support of mayor jacob frey. >> we don't just need a new contract with the police we need a new compact with the police one that centers around compassion and accountability. >> he also supplied the retreat from the third precinct building on thursday the 28th. with the building surrounded by demonstrators who were grasses, there was no likely outcome without ugly scenes and people getting hundreds. >> i do not want to see community members severely injured. or worse. and i certainly didn't want to see the men and women who wear the uniform injured or worse. >> they both reject the city council's council's call to police altogether. the way he voted today without a robust plan to confirm the public safety you will not abandon the public. dana? >> dana: mike tobin, thank you. please reform is front and center on capitol hill today. george floyd's brother pleaded with lawmakers to make sure his brother did not die eyeing and calling for lease brutality. >> king wouldn't hurt anyone. he didn't deserve to die over $20. i'm asking you, is that what a black man is moved?

on friday, minneapolis mayor jacob frey signed a temporary restraining order with the state of minnesota, which forces immediate reforms to take place. these include banning the use of the choke hold and requiring police officers to both report and intervene in cases of excessive force. in congress, meanwhile, democratic members of both the house and senate have introduced the most sweeping reform in decades. that act would also ban chokeholds. it would limit qualified immunity for police officers which in layman's terms are rules that shield government officials for being sued for actions that they perform in their official capacity. it would create a national misconduct registry so officers fired for misconduct couldn't simply go to another police force and get another police job. it would make lynching a federal crime because if you can believe it, it currently isn't. and it would end the use of no knock warrants in drug cases. that last provision might have saved the life of breonna taylor. the first responder who was fatally shot by police in louisville, kentucky, during a botched n

., where does mayor frey stand on this. >> >> reporter: we don't know what it means. i talked to the city council president and she's vocal about dismantling the minneapolis police department and she want to see reform. she has a nine-person veto proof majority on the city council to move forward with those type of regulations. but under minneapolis here the purview of the police department falls under the mayor and the mayor and the city council are not on the same page. let's listen to him talk to good morning america about this topic. >> i'm for massive structural and transformational reform to an entire system that has not for generations worked for black and brown people. am i for entirely abolishing the police department? no, i'm not. >> reporter: now there is a question here obviously about what comes next, the city council has put forth an idea. they want to dismantle the police department but we're not sure what happens next. we're asking for those details but this is a great controversy in here minneapolis and people calling for defunding the police. well wh

mayor jacob frey was here and asked point blank by the crowd whether he would agree to defund the police. he told them, no, he would not agree to that. that leading to large boos from the crowd as he left the rally. it's worth notes that the mayor here is not alone. we talked to the head of the congressional black caucus, the u.s. house of representatives, karen bass, who said she too is not in faifr of disbanning the police but wants instead to move certain amounts of funding to ways that would better help the community. >> you know what i think is really needed, and i think that part of the movement around defunding is really about how we spend resources in our country. i think far more resources need to be spent in communities to address a number of problems. i don't believe that you should disband police departments, but i do think that in cities, in states we need to look at how we are spending resources and invest more in our communities. >> reporter: now as a debate over policing continues, the former officer at the center of the controversy, derrick chauvin will have his first co

mayor jacob frey's conduct has been abhorrent throughout. as bad, the silence of the city council, the bumbling police chief and prosecutor who required five days to charge the cops despite indisputable evidence of misbrutality on video. police brutality. video that ran for hours on end for days before derek chauvin was charged with the murder of george floyd. three other officers on the scene charged as well with aiding and abetting chauvin in floyd's death, and there is no doubt the first days of those demonstrations in minneapolis were critical in the effort to force minneapolis' left-wing city government to force the mayor to force the police chief and then the prosecutor to finally act. the demonstrations in dozens of other cities around the country were organized and orchestrated by the national left, antifa, black lives matter, and they ranged for two weeks. -- raged for two weeks. and we will likely always remember the tragedy of george floyd's death, but we will also remember vividly the senseless violence that followed led by the l

mayor frey, he cares deeply about people. he did not come as strong as we may have liked to but he really cares and impersonally happy of how they managed and i am glad governor walz stepped it up a little bit. a lot of people are hurting in the community and neighborhood and of the devastation of seeing firsthand at this. >> help me with the conversation whether it is businesses or neighbors or other families, what is the conversation in the community obviously, there is legitimate outrage over the death of george floyd and now legitimate horror. i keep on using this term, circuit breaker, what is it? how do you convince people to stop the violence, he does not want patience, he just wants piecpi peace. >> yesterday the community came together and did a massive clean up and food-drive efforts have given people hope. business owners, we are conscious, we have to support these small businesses. i for one put up a post yesterday, let's encourage folks to rebuild and make them thrive. the wendy's was burnt down or whatever. a lo

so the protesters were angered after jacob frey refused to withdraw financial support from the city's police department in the wake of floyd's death threats all the crowd that he could not support the call to defund police but he did favor reforms instead he was told to call shame and booed and eventually had to leave so let's bring in vizor patel in east hampton new york she's the director of the liberty and national security program at the brennan center for justice she's also part of an effort to created and depended inspector general and the new york police department thank you very much we'll get to that to the new york police department in a moment but i actually want to start with minneapolis as we just said the mayor of minneapolis where this all started with george white was out with the crowd telling them that he supported police reform but when he said he did not want to defund the police department the crowd basically turned on and will even since then that was only in the last 24 hours and the last couple of hours pfizer the minneapolis city council has voted to dismantle

left-wing socialist democrats or black lives matter crowd that shouted down the mayor of minneapolis, jacob frey or any others, what happens? you lose when crime goes up. you lose when retail commercial property and residential property values go down. your community loses when the response is not from a trained law enforcement officer. and, you know, we can fix things with training. we can deal with issues. we can deal with the unions, in some cases protect bad officers. elizabeth: yeah. >> but they have got to deal with these issues realistically, and what i just heard from mitch mcconnell, i'm a republican, i reject the idea going down this path of falling into the left's narrative of this is always racism. it's not always racism. elizabeth: okay, you're talking about what no one is talk about how defunding police would trigger vicious cycle. city and state, local governments are funded by property taxes. police departments are defunded, property values would plummet. city values would collapse because they wouldn't get taxes. mayors of washington, d.c. and san jose, the minneapolis council i

after refusing to support those demands, minneapolis mayor jacob frey was booed out of a sunday protest. the minneapolis city council president asked today if the police are abolished, who do you call if someone breaks into your house? >> i hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors. i myself too. >> new york city police department and four code spirit mayor dave blows he doesn't say much but once significant funds to other programs. something substantial, yes and that will be subject to negotiation and the first thing i want to see it go to his youth programs. >> washington, d.c., mayor still with increased budget spurring active bids to add defund the police to the new "black lives matter" mural near the white house. >> i have a budget that i submit to the council a few weeks ago of what we submitted is what we need for public safety. not a penny more and not a penny less. >> on capitol hill house and senate to call for new police reform legislation by observing 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence. among the items proposed in the justice and police act changing the statute to
