garner, we should really be talking about white rage because at every point since the civil war ended when blacks have made social progress in america, they have been met with a deliberate white opposition whether it was in reconstruction or brown versus the board of education or the war against drug lords in the obama presidency. every time blacks have made progress in this country there has been a fight and backlash against them in the court and legislature and a has been coded as protecting democracy or preventing fraud. it is systemic racism. this is the first time that someone has connected 150 years of history from 1865 until the present to show that the attitudes that were very much alive during reconstruction are sadly very much alive today. they are coded differently and worded differently but that systemic of racism and pushing down a minority is still very much in our culture, sad to say. >> when is that book coming out? >> it's publishing on may 31 so it's a little bit before the fall season. it is perhaps the most powerful book that i have ever published. at at the end of

"i choke eric garner to death," daniel pantaleo still has his job. "i kick in the door of ramarley graham and shoot him and kill him in front of his elderly grandmother and his 6-year-old brother," nothing happens. and then you look at it in the national context, we could go on with all the cases. why would a police officer feel that they had any obligation to the community if they don't see their brother or sister in the department being challenged and held accountable? that o'neill needs to do when he becomes commissioner to say to the community, "i heard you, and we're gonna start..." now, what does he need -- because he's walking into the job, we're all skeptical. >> he should fire daniel pantaleo and richard haste, both of the officers who i just mentioned in the cases that i spoke about. that's the first thing. and we understand that individuals -- just firing an individual is not gonna change everything, but it certainly sends a message to other not be tolerated. you cannot work here and practice biased policing at all. >> right. >> that is wh

and until eric garner -- eric phone made his4r magnet -- phoner read his magnificent book about it, it was the most extraordinary of the period. bowers did not just ignore any source that did not fit its way, he twisted them, reshaped them, and distorted them. it is not fair to fall to middle school minds like mine. the remarkable thing about hours' awesomely authentic account was how universal the appraisal was all stop men of the assumption of powers that -- bowers by republicans found it so like their notion of the 1920's when this came out that it can't be true. you can argue that the way a character in an old comic strip did that history is like a mixed drink. if you don't like it the way it is, you can keep adding things until you like it the way you want. most americans treated that way. in diagnosing what needs to be done, it is only natural. but the times in which they live shaping what they find most important. to those for whom racial equality seems an outlandish notion, those who tried to further it looked like donkeys tilting at scientific realities or splenetic vindictive

we could call the names of so many from trayvon martin and eric garner and mike brown to a keel boyd and ayanna stanley jones. so many of our dead. so many loved ones whose lives have been cut short too early. and we all have had to grapple with the collective trauma of it all. to see over and over again this haunting, public ritual of grabbing -- of black grief. and then we find ourselves having to convince many of our fellow white americans of the truth of our anguish and the depth of our sorrow. many would seek to blame those who no longer have a voice because they're dead and buried in the ground. they want to blame them for their own demise. talk of black-on-black crime. didn't rudy giuliani say something like that? talk of the need for the respect of police. talk of a kind of general culture of poverty, all serve as distractions from what is really being said, that these black people deserved to die. yeah? it's exhausting. it's enraging. and i think we've had enough. and i say this as we rightly decry the senseless murders of the police officers in dallas, but i don't want folk

. >> reporter: bratton can point to strategies he developed while reducing crime to lows, the eric garner case played into the black lives matter movement. on bratton's watch there was also a tragedy, four cops gunned down, and corruption. but the mayor insisted that was not the reason bratton packed it in. >> 110% has nothing to do with this. bratton has supporters and di tractors. >> it's a sad day. i followed his career from when he was here during the giuliani administration. he is one of the best. >> maybe things might be changed, you know, for the better. >> i hope it is a step in a direction where the police will be a little bit more conscientious about treating people with respect. >> reporter: bratton's new job is official. he will be joining a consulting firm in new york city that advises big risk management. he says the departure will be different than under giuliani because he will be leaving on friendly terms with mayors and guesses his key to the city will still work this time around. >> that is key. what do you say his legacy would be at least at this point? >> reporter: i

there was this moment after mike brown, eric garner, everyone in the country, like this revelation people seem to be having but it was an important moment it opened up these opportunities but i do criminal justice policy. i think what we have seen in the last two years despite the mobilization and organizing or focusing, done incredible things, an increase in police budget or surveillance, and blue lives matter bill, there has been an opening of conversation for the critical response is not a misdiagnosis but it is counterproductive. it consulted corporate power because -- before we released it, was incredibly -- neither of them proposed any actual solutions or problems we are talking about so the realization that all parties are way behind in terms of knowing what is happening. according to what is suggesting, more body cameras, those who have been in the industry of black and brown people for decades, to give them a contract to continue that work rate is not progress. that is not reform. we are not moving forward. it is important to say that. this agenda is separate, nobody is pushing t

i feel like, black folks knew but there was this moment, after mike brown, eric garner, wow! race is still a problem. it was like this revelation. i think in that arena, what we have seen, despite the amazing conversations, the organizing, and the folks who have done incredible things, is across the board an increase in police budgets, and now blue lives matter. so it's trial say there's been a opening of conversation. but political response has been a misdiagnosis it's been counter-productive. it's presented false solutions. i was frustrated that neither of them proposed any solutions to any of the problems that we're talking about. so, those are realization that's all parties, and officials are way behind our people, in terms of knowing what it is, that has to happen and according to what they're suggest, and more body cameras, and, holding black and brown people. to give them, 75 million contract to continue that walk, is not progress. that's not reform. we're not moving forward. it's important just to say that. this document, doesn't mention a party because, this agenda i
