five police officers were

stopped in that night. and fired their charge was second degree murder, aggravated assault, and aggravated kidnapping among other charges. last night, two deputies were released pending an investigation because of their involvement with the traffic stop. that memphis police department says, right now there is no proof that nichols was driving recklessly. joining me now from memphis is nbc's antonia hylton. antonia, you are on the ground. you've been in the epicenter of it. are what is going on there?

>> >> well, lindsey, there's a lot of hurt and shock. although people had days to prepare for this video, it is still really should people to their core. seeing not just me three minutes of a beating that we were warned by officials, by the attorney, by the family, that that was going to be horrific to watch. but also by what you mentioned. by the delay in care. i think that has really just urge people here, and already we are hearing some residents call for additional names about who was on the scene. additional information about who might have been responsible for that delay. and, of course you mentioned the two sheriff deputies who are now pending investigation going to be on that leave. you are going to hear residents call for more on that. there's also going to be scrutiny over this scorpion unit. these units, they are common around the country. they have different acronyms, but essentially they are supposed to be elite squads that are supposed to focus on major crime reduction strategies. going after gang activity, carjackings, drug dealing.

getting guns and unregistered weapons off the streets. these are not regular because. they are not supposed to be doing traffic-related stops. that is frankly seen by officers who do that work asper needs them. so there is going to be a question here of why this group involved in the scorpion unit would have stopped tyre in the first place. especially since we don't see evidence, at least in the video that is available at this time, of tyrants nichols committing any kind of. crime so asked people grieve, much of that community is gonna be in services tomorrow on sunday. i think you are going to see that focus really shift toward the culture in the police department here and what's really happening on the scorpion team, lindsey. >> antonia hylton, thank you. joining me now is van turner. the president of the memphis branch of the naacp. van, you and i have talked several times this week. i would just like to hear how you are feeling and what your reaction is to this video just released last night?

>> i mean, it is devastating. this was an unreasonable stop and it was just an unconscionable beating of tyre nichols. and it is just hard to watch. here we have national protests breaking out throughout the nation. the last time we saw this was in 1968 for something that happened in memphis which was tragic. that was the assassination of dr. king. so, it is tough for memphis. we are having to work through it. and this is something that we'll hopefully lead to better legislation. the passage of the george floyd act in congress. the passage of other acts here locally in tennessee. the parents have asked for, the parents of tyre nichols, they have asked for a tyre nichols bill. which puts forth a platform that says, you have a duty to intervene. part of the issue with the sheriff's deputies was that they did not intervene once

they made the scene. tyre was suffering, he was calling out for help, he was calling out for his mother, yet no one rendered aid in a timely fashion with prevented his death. that is a problem. that is a violation of training, that's a violation of the procedures, and we have to do better going forward. >> given just the egregious nature of the violations here, and i hear you saying that you want to see the george floyd policing act implemented, you want to see state laws implemented. but in terms of what is already on the books, are you going to be pushing for the city council to intervene, are you going to be pushing for any kind of changes at the police department or for example maybe even this ems company? >> absolutely, there were several violations. one, they were called to the scene to render aid and not injured rendered aid in a timely way. so we need better laws, we need

laws with a stronger bite. what are the penalties? what happens if you don't render aid in time, what happens to that police officer or deputy who just sits there and watches and individual die? so, most certainly we will be calling on city council. we'll be calling on county commissioner. actually, i'm a former county commissioner. we passed the a camp we law. which has a duty to intervene in the law. yet, we didn't see that. so what do we need to do next to give that law more teeth and to make sure that we are not here a month from now or a year from now asking, what went wrong and why did it go wrong. this needs to be our call to action. this needs to be where we say enough is enough. we have to call on all of our legislators, all of the elected officials, the enemy cp, all of our nonprofit, groups our activists. and we have to do the work. the protests have been peaceful

but after the protest we have to look at the policy and we have to look at proper enforcement of those policies. >> before we let you, go i want to play on some of what ben crump said earlier that two men have come forward talking about encounters with the scorpion unit. take a listen. >> one of the gentlemen said after four there had to be four or five days before tyre was attacked on january 7th. he said he was simply going to get pizza, and all of the sudden when he is not a stop sign they come out and grab grab him, cursing at him, calling him mf's nba tees. and all this stuff. then they say they put a gun to his head and, think god he survived. the police confrontation. he said the next day, he called twice to the memphis police department internal affairs trying to make complaints

against these officers and nobody ever called him back. >> this is the first hearing of this? >> no. that has been a story that has played locally. we have seen that gentleman on the tv. and that is just devastating. i will tell you something, this is in my own county commission district. i drove past this very location where tyre nichols lost his life just this morning on the way to where i am today and for this interview. it is just devastating that this has taken place. i know there has been a call to defund the police, but it is really a destruction of this type of culture which permits this, which allows, this which south of this is okay. the man called twice, didn't get a call back. that is a culture that has to be disrupted. and we have to do it now. god forbid this happens later on because we didn't do something now and we could've acted now.

i know that they have put this scorpion squad on suspension right now. they are no longer active. but we need to look at who is going into the scorpion squad. these were 45 year year offices yet there on this really elite squad. that's perhaps too young of a time on the force, to really a time of the force for these officers to be on such an elite squad. and have such power. where were the senior officers? where was the call in to legitimize the stop? this was a stop that has taken place, and there is no constitutional reason why the stock is taking place. where are the parameters to say that when you pull over native you have to have reasonable suspicion? and so, we don't see that here and that is what we need to change going forward and i'm happy that young man didn't lose his life. but we have to do something before others lose their life going forward. >> van turner, thanks for being

with. us >> thank you. >> joining me right now is glenn kershner, former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, and cheryl dorsey, retitled lapd sergeant and author of the conference chronicles the a greater crime story never told. glenn, first to you. we are hearing it's of this body cam footage some of these officers saying he's high, he tried to grab my gun. what was your reaction to hearing some of those statements on body camera when none of the other proceeded video alluded to those things? >> lindsey, let me say, it is as a homicide prosecutor for 22 of my 30 years as a federal prosecutor, nothing i heard on that that tape will detract or will serve as a defense when these men are tried for this murder. what you are watching on the video that was recently released looks like a gang murder to me. i have seen these sorts of mass assaults that escalate and

devolve into you a murder of somebody, and it reminded me of what i saw. this looks like a gang murder. and lindsey, this is not one bath officer or two or three. this is five that officers who took the life of tyre nichols. not one step up to try to de-escalate or tell the other officers to stand down because, deadly violence was not necessary for these officers to protect themselves or other members of the community. i am glad charges were brought by the state authorities so quickly. i am heartened that there has been a civil rights investigation opened by the u.s. attorney for the western district of tennessee. because as he said, it looks like there was a deprivation of tyre nicholsbeing violated in t, fourth amendment like a mantra.

the right of the people to be secure and their persons houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated by government actors. you saw tyrese right to be free of an unreasonable seizure, an unreasonable arrest, violated on camera. on video. and, i am glad that both local and federal authorities are stepping up to address it promptly. >> her that, cheryl, it is not even that these officers, i mean we can have a larger conversation too about other people who are on the scene and did nothing and didn't render aid, but even these officers. it is not just nobody stepped up and said this is wrong, they propped him up. they allowed this to continue and took turns for three minutes. cheryl, talk to me about that element of what memphis pd chief davis calls group think. also, i was watching last night you're talking to thomas and msnbc news now, and you are talking about the fact that this looked like police

revenge. like they were mad that they had to give chase for example. can you elaborate on that? >> yeah, it is part of the police culture. it is an unspoken thing that we all know occurs. when you run from the police, and they catch you, you will pay. you will be punished. and we saw mr. nichols being punished from the very start. and, so as i start to learn more about this incident, chief davis has a problem and i appreciate her efforts, i appreciate the fact that she fired these first five initially. immediately. but, she is partially trying to save her own but because, listen, that there were more than five officers there who did not intervene, who acquiesced that misconduct. and when you do that, you are committing this conduct. it is reported by the mother of tyre nichols. someone came to her home and told her, do you know tyre? he's been arrested for dui. he is on his way to the hospital. we are going to put him, and no you can't go to the hospital to see him. i want to know, who went there?

did the chief know? did she send those officers there? and so, she has a role to play in this. the buck stops with. her how she has these two year to five year officers at a specialized unit with prior complaints, i'm sure. we will find out later down the road. knowing great deference is given to the version that officers give when someone makes a complaint would explain why nothing was done without young man complained allegedly a few days before the tyre incident. and, so she's got a lot of work to do. and i'll tell you one more problem she has, we know that these officers are liars. there is a reason she looked at that sky cop camera. because someone in a supervisory position went to the hospital and saw mr. nichols injuries and realized that the officers lied. which means they gave false and misleading statements, a terminal offense. which means they cannot be police officers. and so the da needs to look into every case that those officers have arrested someone on, because now eight each and every case is tainted.

she has got a problem on her hands. >> glenn kirschner, and sergeant cheryl dorsey, we will have to leave it there. my thanks to both of. you coming, up calls grow for police reform after last night's release of this video. we are going to discuss after a quick break. we are going to discuss after quick break.

camera and surveillance video. that showed tyre nichols at the hands dying at the hands of memphis police, there are many calls from activists and

politicians calling for police reform. we saw the same type of event followed the death of george floyd in 2020. there is even the george floyd justice policing act. that into restrict police misconduct takes you support that a racial bias. but that bill may never made of the senate. it appears unlikely any somerall efforts to reform policing will pass the new congress with the house control by many republicans. joining me right now is areva martin. she is a civil rights attorney and managing partner at martin and martin law firm. areva, before we go into that reform that some of these leaders are talking to you, what questions do you have after watching the video? >> lindsey, the biggest question i have is about the lack of supervision. what we witnessed on those videos was complete chaos. we've used words like inhumane, brutal, so many adjectives come to mind when we think about what we saw in terms of the beating of mr. nichols. but one question that has not been answered is, where was the control, where was the sergeant,

where was the person that has a responsibility to ensure that younger officers, and we are learning the most of these officers had only been on the force less than five years, where was the person with the experience that should have pulled them back, should have prevented them from engaging in that unconstitutional behavior that we saw demonstrated on those videos? so, lots of questions about the lack of supervision and the policies that have been implemented by this police chief. i know the police chief has gotten a lot of credit for acting very swiftly in terms of firing the officers. the district attorney has got a lot of credit for moving quickly with the charges. but i think a lot of questions were raised about the policies that allowed this unit to exist, and the other complaints that we know have been filed by citizens against unit. how are those complaints treated and wherever those officers even still on the streets in that unit on that particular night. >> let's talk a little bit more about this so-called scorpion

units. it was a specialized unit formed more than a year ago. to help halt a surge in violence in the city. according to new york times, the officers often operated in unmarked vehicles making traffic stops, seizing weapons, and injecting hundreds of arrests. does this unit need to exist? >> not asked it is currently constituted, lindsey. clearly from what we are hearing from other citizens, they have been harassed by this unit, there's a gentleman in memphis who made a complaint to internal affairs just days before mr. nichols had this brutal encounter with those five individuals. and he said that many of the individuals involved in mr. nichols altercation where the same ones that approached him in an unmarked vehicle in an aggressive way. and he had complaints about these officers that he said were ignored by internal affairs. and we are hearing other complaints about this particular unit. so, clearly this unit has been able to operate with a level of immunity and, it is

questionable as to whether it should continue to exist at all. >> areva martin, thank you for your time. >> coming up, the other shocking video released yesterday. the brutal assault on paul pelosi. we will have reaction from washington. reaction from washington washington t the greatest roster ever assembled. the monster, the outlaw... and you can't forget about the boss. sometimes- you just want to eat your heroes. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. it's with a grateful heart of

the half of my entire family that we think everyone for their prayers that they continue to send us, asking about the progress that my husband is making. he is making progress, but it will take more time. >> we are now seeing these shocking police body camera video from last october's brutal udall hammer attack on paul pelosi. husband of speaker nancy pelosi. the videos made public last weekend. we want to warn people that the video might be exciting. >> how are you doing? >> good morning. >> what's going on man. >> everything is good. >> i. >> drop the hammer.

>> no. hey. >> what is going on here? >> this footage is sparking fresh debate on just how deeply political violence has spread throughout our system. and what exactly electric leaders are doing or not doing to keep constituents and themselves safe. joining me now is nbc news congressional correspondent julie -- on capitol hill. julie, what is the reaction been to this video that is really hard to watch. >> well, in the last two years especially we have seen a rise in threats against lawmakers here on capitol hill. in washington, and back home where they live. the reaction here that perhaps matters the most is that of nancy pelosi. as you heard her at the top there, i want to play another portion of what she had to tell reporters yesterday. and i should note, lindsey, she could not bring herself to watch this video or listen to the 9-1-1 call. >> as you know today, there was a release of some information. i have not heard the 9-1-1 call,

i have not heard the confession, i have not seen the break-in and i have absolutely no intention of seeing the deadly assault on my husband's life. i won't be making any more statements about this case. as it proceeds, except to again thank people and inform them of paul's progress. but that will be the end of what i will say about the case. thank you. >> nancy pelosi, the former house speaker of course grappling not only with the fact that this attack was intended for her but also that it's gravely injured her 82 year old husband who was still walking around in a hat, with a glove, covering his right-hand. his injuries to his head that left him hospitalized for six days and in need of a skull fracture repair. and notably missing of course, is a lot of reaction from republicans who very quickly after this attack happened, some of them continuing to spread some conspiracy theories. that this was perhaps an inside

job which these videos, this 9-1-1 call, clearly disprove. jeffries, a democratic leader also telling us yesterday, we live in dangerous times. and unprecedented extremism and political violence which have no place in our democracy or in the everyday lives of elected officials and their loved ones. lindsey? >> all right, julie tsirkin, thank. you >> i want to bring in yasmin raj, executive director of swing left. msnbc political analyst and former republican congressman karen carlos curbelo. carl, us first i want to play some of what republicans were saying in that initial aftermath of that home invasion at speaker pelosi's home. >> there is no room for violence anywhere. but we are going to send her back to be with them in california. >> nancy pelosi, while she's got protection when she is in d.c.. apparently our houses have a lot of protection. >> and we are going to show nancy pelosi the door very shortly. >> don't let it hit you on the backside, nancy.

>> she's losing that gavel but finding the hammer. too soon? is that too soon? >> as a former congressman, what do you make of that? >> lindsey, those comments are extremely dangerous. they are dehumanizing and when we as a society failed to see the humanity and others, even if they are our political adversaries, violence breaks out. and for those that are promoting it or excusing it, they will regret it one day. because violence will show up at their doorsteps as well. that is the way these things work. i come from a family who lost their country. the island of cuba, to political violence. people stopped just simply disagreeing. they started attacking one another verbally and then physically and eventually, the whole system broke down and millions of people have lost

their lives. their homes, and have been forced into exile. i don't think that is going to happen here. certainly not anytime soon. but that is the path we are on if we don't stop this condoning, excusing, or deflecting attention from these violent acts that are completely inexcusable. >> yasmin, yesterday in the men who'd assaulted bryan sandra during the general six riots was sentenced to 80 months in prison. according to the new york times it was one of the longest given to any the 950 people charge so far in connection with a capitol attack. does that send a strong enough message? >> first of all, thank you so much for having me on, lindsey. i couldn't agree more with the way that carlos framed this. this is unacceptable in terms of how republicans have responded to this horrific attack on paul pelosi. it is also horrific that they have still not come out strong against what happened on january 6th. and, i think is carlos put

things really well, republicans have been fueling into fanning the flames of a screen-ism on so many friends that it is no mistake that violence is what we are seeing. and to be a country that is a model of democracy. we have got to stand strong against that kind of rhetoric. and, what really worries me is that, in this new congress that qanon conspiracy theorists are not on the sidelines. they are front and center. so they are feeling and fanning those flames. from the top of the most important committees, and so much more. as we have some real work ahead. >> and,, carlos we saw the rnc just electronic don't daniel, trump ally here. what does that tell you about the direction of the party right now, especially after they underperformed in the midterms? >> well, yesterday was good news for former president trump because, as emma mcdonald's is certainly someone who comes

from his orbit. he supported her initially. and that is why she became a party chair. so, for those i think you are looking for the party to go in a different direction, this could be a sign that trump is still extremely powerful. but, i think that mcdaniel is going to be fair and is going to allow the guaranteed to grow out of this trumpian phase that it has been stuck in for some years. we will see when the time comes, but certainly a lot of people do believe that she is going to be fair, that she is not going to stack the deck for trump. even though people like ron desantis were helping other candidates would win, there's still a lot of people think that ron mcdaniel can be a republican institutionalist and can help the party transition out if this phase if the parties voters have the will to do that. >> all right, thank you.

former congressman carlos curbelo. coming up a moment of reflection involving the memphis grizzlies following the beating death of tyre nichols. stay with us. beating death of tyre nichols. stay with us stay with us and leon... the first of them all. three generations, who all bank differently with chase. leon's saving up for his first set of wheels... nice try. really? this leon's paying for his paint job on the spot... and this leon, as a chase private client, he's in the south of france, taking out cash with no atm fees. that's because this family of leons has chase. actually, it's león. ooh la la! one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours.

next on behind the series... the boss upended the whole roster. here's this young sub from jersey, brimming with confidence.

and meatballs. it had a lot of attitude- for a rookie. and a lot of pepperoni. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. welcome back. a moment of reflection last night in minneapolis when the timber wolves at memphis grizzlies held a moment of silence before there and be a game to honor 29 year old tyre nichols. the grizzlies put out a statement saying, in part we are distraught to find ourselves dealing with a

needless loss of life due to police brutality, and this time it was one of memphis's own. we have faith in the city, and our power to heal. meanwhile, individual power players like forward erin jackson junior tweets, support for the nichols family, calling for peaceful protests and accountability. in the wake of the tragedy. more now on the investigation into what happened. nichols died after a police officer after police officers brutally beaten at a traffic stop. protesters took to the streets in memphis and other cities after memphis police released body cam and surveillance video of the incident last night. nbc's sam brock joins us again with the latest. sam, good morning. >> lindsey, good morning. it has been peaceful so far. there was a planned profit test here in memphis for 3:00 this afternoon, local. the asparlas, night there is roughly 100 people or so. the protests have been going on into the interstate i-95. they blocked pet traffic from here to time. there were no contract with police, there is no destruction. as far as the video was concerned, there's so absorbing

right now as we see for the first-time. it is clear to me that the police had activator body cameras for them to go to motion. we don't know at this point how many body camera videos we actually saw. our understanding is that it is. two s with two local council member though, who strongly believes that there is a likelihood that three of those responding police officers turned their body cameras off. we are still waiting for a response officially from the city on that, lindsey. the video you're about to, see we have to warn is very disturbing. >> this morning, memphis still reeling after the release of shockingly violent police footage. >> raise your. hands >> showing the brutal beating a 29 year old tyre nichols. at the hands of five former memphis police officers. the alarming escalation, coming as officers in yank nichols out of his car, guns drawn. >> i didn't do. anything >> we don't see what proceeds the traffic stop. as police initially said was for reckless driving. >> all right, i'm on the. ground >> as a force into the ground, nichols appears to

comply with the orders. >> now. >> the tasers jewelry. now i'm just trying to go. home >> visibly confused, he eludes a taser and. runs than roughly an eight-minute person before police body cameras show nichols chilling it capture. >> in a heart wrenching moment, he calls for his mom who is only three houses away. >> mom,? screaming for help is police appear to douse his face and pepper spray, again and again. nichols mother, rowvaughn, beyond devastated. >> my heart just breaks. for a mother to know that their child was calling them in their need, and i wasn't there for you. do you know how i feel right now? because i wasn't there for my son. >> families everywhere force to reckon with this in humanity. a poll camera, without audio,

shows the men. all african-american officers in a specialized unit called scorpion, pinning down a now arriving nichols. then, squaring up to drop kick him on the ground. multiple times. moments later, another officer wielding a baton lashes the hundred and 40-pound man as they stand him up, nichols looking incapacitated, they throw haymakers to his face. from the time we see the group arrested nichols against a patrol car to medical helping administered, more than 20 minutes appears to laps. all five officers were fired within days, then charged with second degree murder less than three weeks later. with the attorneys for two officers saying, they plan on pleading not guilty. benjamin crump, calling the swift action a template for other cities. >> we now have a blueprint, america, and we won't accept less going forward in the future. >> with largely peaceful protests unfolding in memphis, new york, d.c., and boston, among other places,. >> we want justice for all our

people. >> a wounded nation, now confronting how a man who loved photography, sunsets, and his mother, deeply, could be stolen away from his family. >> and, the network of people facing potential consequences now continues to widen overnight. we learn from the shelby county sheriff, to his deputies had been relieved of their duty pending an investigation. lindsey, it is not clear exactly what the role was in this incident. but you can add that now to the list of five police officers who have been fired as well as to fire department personnel, as well. it is also worth noting that with regard to the scorpion unit, the targets gang activity, according to the memphis mayor it is now an active. lindsey? >> sam brock, thank you. this morning, israeli officials say a 13-year-old palestinian shot and wounded at least two people in jerusalem. this follows yesterday's attack in jerusalem during that remembrance day. according to israeli police, the 21-year-old gunman opened fire near synagogue killing at least seven people and injuring three others, including a

15-year-old. police say the gun wilderness later shot and killed by police. the white house has condemned the attack. this, weekend secretary of state anthony blinken is traveling to egypt, israel, and the west bank. he's expected to underscore the urgent need for israeli and palestinian leaders to de-escalate tensions. nbc's kelly kobe joins me with more from jerusalem. kelly, what's the latest? >> well, lindsay, today israel upped its alert status to its highest level. it also said that it is sending more soldiers into the occupied west bank in response to this latest cycle of violence. overnight, israeli police said that they arrested more than 40 people. among them, some members of the 21-year-old alleged shooter's family. israeli officials say that there is no sign that the 21-year-old, or the 13-year-old allegedly involved in that shooting earlier today, had any ties to palestinian militants.

in fact, reuters spoke to the father of the 21-year-old. he said, his son was just a regular guy. he had no ties to militant groups. he was just a regular guy who went to work and had no idea why he allegedly opened fire on that synagogue. lindsey? >> there was also a counterterrorism attack in the occupied west bank on thursday killing ten palestinians. what can you tell us about that, and has the u.s. out anything? >> yeah, so, this was the operation on thursday. the israelis said that they were acting on information to stop a potential attack, and that is why they went in on that raid. the state spoke to ned price and said, that among those injured were more than 20 people. that there were civilians injured. he said that there is an urgent need for all parties to de-escalate and work together to improve the security situation on the west bank. but, things are not going in a

positive direction, i suppose. the palestinian authority has done all it really has the power to do, which is to pull out of its coordinated security deal with the israelis. that is credited with and maintaining some control in the occupied territories out of israel. it is really the only move that they have. the question is, what happens next? does that then contribute to a renewed cycle of violence. lindsey? >> kelly colby, thank. you >> still to, come helping our children to make sense of the recent or riffing acts of violence. that is next. violence that is next that is next no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? as the nation grapples with yet

another viral video of police killing, it can be difficult to navigate what feels like a constant human violence. adults can choose to a gauge or avoidance, children are often exposed to the same violent content on social media platforms and other digital

platforms with little context or what it all means. so how do we make help our kids make sense of what they are seeing what's happening? joining me now is psychologist jeff -- . >> doctor jeff, thanks for being. with >> us thank you, lindsay, for having me. >> so, not only are kids potentially going to see this on the, and parents may want to talk to their kids about what is going on and how this -- what are some ways to do? that >> i think first and foremost you have to look at the age of developmental status of your child, because we want to make sure to use the right language. as much as possible the younger kids, you want to make sure that they absolutely do not see this. but, lindsey, as you know the adolescents and the teenagers, they are online. they are probably going to see this you want to get ahead of the game so you want to monitor what it is that they are asking, what it is that they are seeing, which is that they are feeling and then be able to address whatever questions they may have and do it in an all as honest away as possible. >> so, whether a parent has to

initiate that conversation with their child or their child may be heard something and asked something about, it what is going on in memphis or what is going on with tyre nichols? can you go through some of the age groups and what are some things that parents can say? >> well, for the younger children, certainly you want to talk about what happens with issues of people not respecting one another, how we don't solve problems with our fists or trying to hurt other people, and the importance of being able to you, not just respect but you love one another. with the adolescents and the teenagers, we really do have to talk about the thing that we don't talk about enough. that racism is real. it is something that happens every day, and it hurts so many people. and especially when we are looking at black and brown folks, that even though the police are out there to help us and protect us, that there are police officers, there are people out there who may not have the best intentions, who

may wear a uniform and be bullies. but, importantly we have to remember that police are there to protect us. but we have to have the top, lindsey, that my parents had with me and that i have had with my black sons and so on. and how to be able to try to avoid as much as possible any kind of situation that may end up in violence. what are ways to be less at risk. but it is a reality that children of color, especially black, males are going to be more at risk. so we have to get them empowerment strategies to be able to talk a situation down if they can, and there is still no guarantee that they won't be hurt in those sorts of situations. >> doctor jeff, how might children who are feeling anger and frustration channel that in healthy and productive ways? >> well, we have to teach them to be advocates. and, lindsey, it is a great question because as parents we are rolemodels.

it is not just what we verbalized but the way that we. behave we know that we are traumatized, we know that in many ways we are angry, that we are fearful, that we see that this country maybe not moving in the direction that it needs to. so we need to have positive types of fertilization's, and actions. so teaching them how to be part of their community, how to volunteer, how to become advocates, how to begin changing the system as it is. and, lindsey, as we know we have many states in the country where perhaps they don't want to talk about racism. where they don't want to talk about systemic racism. it is important that we talk about that with our children. teach them the proper history, so that they can understand what is going on. if they don't understand, it how are they going to change? >> doctor jeff gardere, thank you so much. >> coming up tomorrow on the sunday, showed jonathan kaye part will talk with los angeles
