Anderson Cooper 360 episodes

April 14, 2021 Protesters on the streets for third night after police shooting in Minnesota
As curfew approaches, people march on the streets of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota calling for justice for Daunte Wright. Officer Kim Potter, the police veteran who fired the deadly shot, has quit the force.
The chief of police has also stepped down. The city manager has been fired. Jonathan Mason, who mentored Daunte Wright in high school, talks to Anderson about Wright's hopes and dreams.
And in the trial of Derek Chauvin, it was day one for the defense. But testimony under cross examination from a key witness might have been more useful to the prosecution.
George Floyd family attorney, Antonio Romanucci, joins Anderson.

April 09, 2021 Doctor: Floyd’s preexisting conditions and drug use had no impact on death
A renowned pulmonary critical care doctor testified that George Floyd’s preexisting conditions and drug use had no impact on his death and that he died from “low level of oxygen” when former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pinned him to the street. Shareeduh Tate is George Floyd’s cousin and the president of the George Floyd Foundation. She joins AC360 to discuss the trial and says she “feels good about what the prosecution is doing.” Plus, at least one person was killed and five others were wounded in a shooting in Texas just hours after President Biden announced limited gun restrictions. Rep. Lucy McBath has been fighting in Congress for legislation around gun safety after her son was shot and killed in 2012. She tells Anderson Cooper that Biden is acting to save lives but it’s up to Congress to “do right by Americans and put forth life saving measures.”

April 08, 2021 CDC Director: UK variant is now dominant coronavirus strain in the U.S.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the coronavirus variant first identified in the United Kingdom is now the most common strain in the United States. Studies suggest the UK variant is more contagious than the original strain. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci tells Anderson Cooper it’s a race between getting people vaccinated and a potential surge. Plus, a Los Angeles Police Department use-of-force expert says former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin used “deadly force” on George Floyd when none was necessary. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, has tweeted “Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd in cold blood. It’s not that complicated.” He joins AC360 to discuss the trial and says he believes the evidence “points to a clear conviction.”

April 07, 2021 Police use-of-force expert: Derek Chauvin’s kneeling is not trained restraint tactic
A Minneapolis Police use-of-force training instructor testified that Derek Chauvin’s kneeling on George Floyd’s neck is not a trained restraint tactic. Meanwhile, the defense zeroed in on a theory that bystanders distracted the former Minneapolis Police officer. Jose Baez is a criminal defense attorney and successfully represented Casey Anthony when she was on trial for first-degree murder of her 2-year-old daughter. He joins AC360 to discuss the defense’s argument. Plus, the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman is reporting that Rep. Matt Gaetz privately asked the White House for blanket pre-emptive pardons for himself and unidentified congressional allies during President Trump’s final days in office. The Florida Republican is being investigated by the DOJ for allegations that he broke federal sex trafficking and prostitution laws. Haberman tells Anderson Cooper White House officials thought it was bizarre and “knocked it down pretty quicky.”
