The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell | Trump: law enforcement needs to “dominate the streets”
Ali Velshi fills in for Lawrence O’Donnell tonight on The Last Word: During a press conference, President Trump said that he hoped “George [Floyd] is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that is happening for our country” and that it was a “great day for him” in regards to newly released unemployment numbers while also ignoring reporter questions on African-American unemployment. Yamiche Alcindor and Zerlina Maxwell join to discuss. Alicia Garza, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter, and Phillip Atiba Goff, co-founder and CEO of the Center for Policing Equity, also joins to discuss what kinds of reforms protesters are seeking to achieve. Plus, Ali facilitates a roundtable with Shaquille Brewster, Garrett Haake, and Cal Perry on their experience on the ground covering the protests for NBC News.
