Submit ReviewTHIS EPISODE: Rayshard Brooks, an unarmed African-American man, was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant, leading to the firing of one officer, and another being placed on administrative leave. Justin Miller, attorney representing the family of Rayshard Brooks, joins MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin in for Joy Reid stating, “We don't understand why they had to effectuate the arrest in that manner.” THEN: “Defund the police” calls grow as George Floyd protests continue. Judith Browne Dianis, Executive Director of the Advancement Project, joins MSNBC to share what “reimagining public safety” could look like. NEXT: Transgender protections for civil rights and equality have been reduced by the Donald Trump administration, the very same week that the people of Wheeling, West Virginia elected Rosemary Ketchum to their city council, making her the first openly transgender elected official in the state. Ayman Mohyeldin and his panel discuss the Trump administration erasing Obama-era civil rights healthcare protections for transgender people. AND: The police killing of Rayshard Brooks--an unarmed black man--in Atlanta is analyzed by attorney Paul Butler, who shares, “At the end of the day this is about culture.” PLUS: Karens--the internet nickname for white women who call the police on people of color for no reason--and black fears of police encounters, no matter how seemingly innocuous they begin, are discussed by MSNBC analyst Jonathan Capehart. He gives an explainer, “For all those who are trying to understand whether this is a real thing, or if African-Americans are overreacting in terms of the impact of watching all these videos, and seeing the news about black people being killed by police.” ADDITIONALLY: The attorney for the family of an unarmed black man who was shot and killed by a white New Jersey state trooper during a traffic stop last month says the state’s attorney general’s office is not being fully transparent with the family. William O. Wagstaff, III, attorney for the family of Maurice Gordon, joins AM JOY with his questions about how the case is being handled. ALSO: Systemic racism, its role in policing, and potential paths to necessary societal reform throughout America are explored by Phillip Atiba Goff, CEO of The Center for Policing Equity. FINALLY: George Floyd’s killing in police custody is called a ‘sacrifice’ in the equality fight in America, but there is still a lot more racial parity to be developed, politics pundit and author Tiffany D. Cross tells us. All this and more in this Sunday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
