June 05, 2020 Amanpour: Keith Ellison, Anne Applebaum, Eliot Cohen and Vanita Gupta
Christiane Amanpour is joined by Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison, who is now the lead prosecutor in the George Floyd case. They discuss the charges filed against the four police officers involved in Floyd’s death and the challenges of winning convictions in a justice system that traditionally favors the police. Then, when riot police were brought in to clear peaceful protesters outside the White House, it was a tipping point for many in the military. Dean of SAIS at John Hopkins University, Eliot Cohen, and historian and staff writer at The Atlantic, Anne Applebaum, set this historic event in context. And our Hari Sreenivasan speaks to Vanita Gupta, a civil rights lawyer who worked under former President Obama as the Acting Attorney General and Head of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division. Having led the investigation into the police department in Ferguson, Missouri, after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, Gupta explains why the changes need to go far beyond just police reform.
