Black Lives Matter protests inspired by the killing of George Floyd continued around the world over the weekend. Minneapolis City Council is now pledging to dismantle the police department, and replace it with community-based strategies, but not everyone agrees that abolishing the department is the right approach. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Thenjiwe McHarris, a strategist for The Movement for Black Lives, and Alex Vitale, coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College, to discuss what defunding the police could look like. And then, partisan politics has played a major role in conversations around police defunding, with only one Republican senator having come out in favor so far. U.S. House Republican Adam Kinzinger spent the weekend serving in the National Guard in Wisconsin and he joins Christiane to give his perspective on the defunding initiative and reflect on President Trump’s now infamous photo opportunity outside St John's Church, Washington. And Editor of the Financial Times, Roula Khalaf, speaks to our Walter Isaacson about how the Trump administration’s response to the current protests is impacting America’s moral authority and where the U.S. now stands in relation to the world’s autocracies.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacyLearn more about your ad choices.
