i ran into this in atlanta. i've run into it here. why does somebody need to be able to walk around with an assault rifle in a city park? why did they need to walk around with an assault rifle on a city street? i think if anyone can stand up and say that's what the constitution had in mind get , your head out of the plant holder. if we put down our swords and really say we want a policy of ensuring the safety of all americans, we can come to the table with something. it has become so politicized people don't want to listen. so there is that ground. there's also the ground of listening and i hope that the department of justice will expand the platforms and start looking at those areas experiencing an uptick in crime or areas with mass shooters to see how the judiciary is operating. it is imperative that somebody start demanding transparency from the da, the judges the , system. what i will tell you, almost without fail, the violent, repeat offenders my folks are arresting, and the operative word is repeat have been , arrested repeatedl

please chief shields was previously the chief in atlanta. they give for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> i have no easy questions for you and we will start with crime being up in louisville but crime was up in atlanta where you worked for 25 years. crime is up in virtually every big city. shootings that handle sides are up. -- homicides are up. they rose in louisville last year and they are on the rise now. the total last year was 170. why is this happening? we used to see these stats going down year over year. what started to change in 202021 -- 2020 and continued into 2021? >> you're asking the right question, because what is different? when i look at louisville, it's similar to atlanta and georgia and that is in the southern states where you have very lax gun laws, it doesn't lend itself to a high proliferation of illegal weapons on the street. you lay on top of that there is a post-covid component to it. individuals who are marginalized are for the set on the sides we talk about young people. when you have young people without

chief shields was previously the police chief in atlanta. thank you for joining us, she. >> thanks for having me. i appreciateth it. >> gladly. i have no use question for you as you would expect and will start off with the crime up in louisville but the toll it unique. crime is up in atlanta where your present work for 25 years. crime is up to washington. crime is up in virtually every big city. soon, homicides up. recently he noted homicides rose 92% in louisville last year and there on the right now. i think you think you had 104 so far this year. the total astros 170. why is this happening next after so many years of declines we used to see these stats steadily going down year after year. what started the change in 2020 which is continued t into 2021? >> i appreciate that and i think you're asking the right question, that is what is different? we've got to find a solution, figure out where is the aberration. when ien look at the label, it'a two what i see in atlanta and georgia and that his first off in the southern states were you very l

for the pbs newshour, i'm amna nawaz in atlanta. judy: one of the more significant stories of these olympic games so far is not only who's winning medals, but why one of the biggest names in sports decided to step back. simone biles said it was concern for her own mental well being that led her to do so. this news has quickly sparked larger conversations around mental health, athletics and race. yamiche alcindor is here with our own. >> judy, shortly after simone biles made her decision, she talked openly about the need to protect her own mental health under intense pressure and a global spotlight. she has also talked about some of her struggles, her conflicting feelings about the games, and signs of depression. here she is yesterday at a press conference discussing the power of prioritizing her wellbeing. >> you are not going to enjoy your sport and succeed as much as you want to. it is ok to sit out the competitions to focus on yourself. it shows how strong a competitor and a person you really are. rather than just battle through

but, some of their neighbors in north atlanta disagree. this northern suburb known as buckhead was annexed by atlanta in the 1950s, and here, too, they've seen an increase in crime recently. which is why some residents in this wealthy and mostly white neighborhood now say the solution is to break away. >> we feel we're living in a war zone in buckhead. >> nawaz: bill white is leading the effort to create a separat“" city of buckhead,” allowing them to use their own tax base to fund their own budget. white says their city would lobby to tighten bail and sentencing rules, and deploy its own independent police force. >> a massive police presence will be something that the new buckhead city police department will absolutely provide. >> nawaz: buckhead's departure would take away significant resources from atlanta-- by some estimates, this area comprises 40% of atlanta's property wealth, a large part of its tax base. critics say that would hurt the city's ability to stem rising crime and inequality. >> i think what buckhead city will do wil

>> it not up and running yet, we have something similar in atlanta, i agree with you. i think what you will hear his people who are not fans of police, who want facebook to go out, we want to be part of this, everything is a life. the reality is when you have issues that involve mental health, substance abuse and homeless, you just never know what you're going to get so the situation goes out, you hope not but it might so you have to instruct in such a way of safety is paramount. if they feel they need police presence, it has to be but the idea is when the 911 call comes in, you have to dispatch who are trained in triaging the issues that are more representative of social economics concern so they know the questions they ask and understand and get their mind around so it'she not sending police and having police make an assessment. the triage properly, you are going to have groups of 911 calls that will never go through. then you have some that might fall in the gray area where you are not sure if there is going to be so that caseworker and police meet up, they cocaine

after the atlanta campaign ended with the surrender of savannah, -- of atlanta on september 2, lincoln will send prominent political generals, including john logan, back to illinois after he saw what logan did for grant in 1863, he sent them back in 1864. lincoln is a republican on that union party ticket. logan is sent back to illinois, to campaign primarily for the , republican party. logan is a democrat, technically. he's no longer the congressman, because when he was commissioned brigadier general he had to give up his congressional seat. so he's campaigning for the republican running for that congressional seat. remember in the district that , voted against lincoln 23,000 to 5000 just three years -- four years earlier. so this is logan going back planning 16 speeches throughout , southern illinois, which is 16 counties instead of the previous 18. so there are 22,000 voters instead of 28,000 the first time. it's a perilous situation for logan. southern illinois hates him. he has to bring a gun to his speeches and lay it on the dais and show he's not going to tolerate anyone who tri

right now they are so fed up, they are ready to get out of atlanta and divorce atlanta. of the second reason the landmark maintains a place of significance is because we have been here before.

forget atlanta. atlanta has crazy crime numbers, 52% murder, 133% since 2019, shootings of 164%. when 300 police officers have basically quit in the last 12 months because they don't want to work for her, don't want to work for a city that doesn't appreciate them, we are receiving literally hundreds of email messages and resumes including resignation letters from some of these great officers, 300 cops, 3000 years of experience down the toilet. i can always say, we get buckhead city up and running, the police department up and running, we make both cities budget city and atlanta better safe and prosperous again. like you said we are living in a war zone, running on the saturday dog, you get run over, legs are amputated, you get carjacked. jillian: we are seeing this play out not just in buckhead but in speech across the country, devastating to have to have a conversation every morning with people from different cities every day. the question i have is you talk about we want to file for divorce, create our own police department. do you have people willing to step up to that because

that is, if you find the solution, who practically got where it is and when i look at louisville and atlanta and georgia first of all, in the southern states we have had lax gun laws, it lends itself for high proliferation and that already. there is this component to it, individuals already marginalized but further set off to decide particular. if you have young people who do not have this, very often the sanctuary a tool and all of that is removed they don't have any place to be or anything to do so now we have illegal guns and idle time on the hand. we have backlash against policing which has prompted what urc as many areas, reluctant by the officers to self initiate activities and in the community or they don't want to declare, last year it put them in a mental space where they want them to become a fair return if they are involved in these, they would be immediately in front of the house and they are aware of the funds onto treat, they may have to. what urc is one is the removal services and two, they are reactive and the only way you have crime is if you insert yourself and as a cop dis

you know, if they go, let me go to robert in atlanta. i think all of us would agree what i hope all of our viewers would agree, the events of january 6 or a tragedy. it was a riot. it shouldn't have happened. and if people should be brought to justice, i just hope it's not political justice. a subject for a different program. nonetheless. and bringing up january 6, congress just gave the capital police $2000000000.00. the start setting up offices around the country. you know what this sounds like to me, rob sounds like the stuffy. it sounds like an american version of the starchy and in an environment of deep on the police there giving $2000000000.00 to a police force that didn't do its job on january 6. and i look at them, they didn't the media coverage at all. it's almost kind of like bravo, we need protection here from the, the be the unwashed or whatever here. i mean, i find it really extraordinary the, another branch of the intelligence community is being established, extremely well funded and no one saying, don't you think this is

i a analyst in atlanta. we have robert patello. he is a civil rights attorney, as well as a radio host and in lake jackson, we have daniel mcadams. he is the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity, or a child in cross roles and effects. that means it can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate, let me go to you 1st, re, you're the spook on the program. i think when you were coming up through the ranks, we don't have to look at all of the decades. but i think as you were coming up, there was all healthy suspicion of people like you in the ca. i remember the church commission and now speed up to the present. why does the liberal media adore the intelligence community so much? what changed? it's a remarkable change if you look at m s m b, c. i mean, when tucker carlson claims that he was being surveilled by the n s a you had a whole of these 4 former bush cheney officials saying no tucker must be out of his mind. or he has a different agenda here. these are all on m. s. n b, c, these are all bu

last night the major baseball all-star game was noticeably not in atlanta. that's because major league baseball -- well, they caved to democrats like joe biden and stacey abrams and raphael warnock and others who deceptively referred, in many cases, to george's voting bill as jim crow 2.0. watch this. >> some of these voter suppression laws in georgia and other republican states smacked of jim crow rearing its ugly head once again. >> president biden: it is the most pernicious thing. this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. this is gigantic what they are trying to do. >> the resurgence of jim crow's-style suppression measures. >> it is a tsunami threatening democracy. >> a massive and unabashed assault on voting rights unlike anything we've ever seen since the jim crow era. this is jim crow in new clothes. >> sean: ultimately the all-star game was viewed by 8 million people, a historically low number for that game, showing politics in sports aren't going over well with the american people. worst of all, businesses in atlanta including minority-owned business
