[♪♪♪] >> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

>> AND I'M PARIS SCHUTZ.

ON THE SHOW TONIGHT... >> WE CAN'T LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE A MINOR TRAFFIC OFFENSE RESULTS IN SOMEONE BEING SHOT AND KILLED.

>> NEW VIDEO SHOWS THE GRAPHIC POLICE KILLING OF ANTHONY ALVAREZ ON CHICAGO'S NORTHWEST SIDE LAST MONTH.

WHAT WE KNOW AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE SHOOTING.

>> WE ARE IN A COMMUNITY ARE HEARTBROKEN.

>> PLUS REACTION FROM ALVAREZ'S FAMILY ON THE SHOOTING AND RENEWED CALLS FOR CHANGES TO C.P.D.

'S FOOT PURSUIT POLICY.

>> RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE JUST SAYING NO.

>> THE GOVERNOR'S FIGHTING WORDS WITH THE G.O.P.

IS A FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S SPOTLIGHT POLITICS.

>> HE CERTAINLY RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY THAT THIS OFFERS.

>> PRESIDENT BIDEN MARKS 100 DAYS IN OFFICE WITH A FORMAL ADDRESS TO CONGRESS.

FIND OUT WHAT LONG TIME POLITICAL SPEECHWRITERS EXPECT TO HEAR.

>> MORE THAN 20 PUBLIC OFFICIALS ARE JOINING TOGETHER TO CREATE A MAMA'S CAUCUS WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF THEIR AGENDA.

>> AND A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS LOOK FOR CLUES IN HISTORIC PAINTINGS AT A MUSEUM IN PILSEN.

>> BUT FIRST, TONIGHT, CITY OFFICIALS ARE RELEASE VIDEO OF A FATAL POLICE SHOOTING.

THIS TIME OF 22-YEAR-OLD ANTHONY ALVAREZ.

HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER ON MARCH 31.

THE VIDEO RELEASED TODAY SHOWS AN OFFICER SHOOTING AT ALVAREZ MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FRONT YARD OF A HOME IN THE 5200 BLOCK OF WEST EDDIE STREET IN PORTAGE PARK.

THE PRELIMINARY STATEMENT DID NOT SAY WHAT SPARKED THE FOOT PURSUIT BUT MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT IMPLIED THAT IT INVOLVED A MINOR TRAFFIC OFFENSE.

A FEW NOTES ABOUT OUR POLICY FOR SHOWING THE VIDEO RELEASED BY THE CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY OR C.O.P.A.

IT'S THE SAME RATIONALE WE EXPRESSED TO YOU WHEN WE PRESENTED THE SHOOTING VIDEO OF 13-YEAR-OLD ADAM TOLEDO.

WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT HAS BEEN RELEASED.

NOW WE WILL BE SHOWING IT A FEW TIMES THIS EVENING BECAUSE IT HELPS TO INFORM THE DISCUSSIONS WE ARE HAVING.

THE VIDEO IS GRAPHIC AND DIFFICULT TO WATCH.

YOU WILL SEE ALVAREZ SHOT TO DEATH.

WE ARE ONLY PLAYING EXPECTED CLIPS OF THIS VIDEO TONIGHT BECAUSE WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT WE WON'T BE USING IT IN FULL OTHERWISE.

WE START WITH TWO MINUTES INTO THE VIDEO BEGINNING WITH THE FOOT CHASE YOU WILL SEE THE SHOOTING FROM THE BODY-CAMERA AND WE SWITCH TO THE BODY-CAM FROM THE OTHER OFFICER ON THE SCENE AND BACK AND WE'VE EDIT TO DO IN REALTIME.

WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING.

HEY, DROP THE GUN!

DROP THE GUN!

>> WHY ARE YOU SHOOTING ME?

YOU.

>> YOU HAD A GUN.

>> GET ON THE GROUND.

>> SHOTS FIRED BY THE POLICE.

>> EMERGENCY.

>> STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP.

>> I'M GOING TO DIE.

I'M GOING TO DIE.

>> I GOT YOU.

I GOT YOU.

WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE.

STOP, STOP.

WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE.

>> CUFF HIM -- >> NO, I GOT TO RENDER AID.

HEY.

I'M RENDERING AID.

STOP.

GET DOWN.

THE GUN IS RIGHT THERE.

THE GUN IS RIGHT THERE.

>> STOP, STOP, STOP MOVING!

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!

I'M TRYING TO -- STAY WITH ME DUDE, STAY WITH ME.

STAY WITH ME, MAN.

STAY WITH ME!

>> SO THEN YOU SEE THAT OFFICER HE ATTEMPTS TO FLY A TOWN KET TO ALVAREZ.

POLICE RELEASED THEIR EDITED VERSION OF THE VIDEO AND WE WILL SHOW YOU A PORTION OF THAT.

AGAIN, THE MARKINGS ON THE VIDEO AND THE SLOW MOTION WERE MADE BY THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT NOT US.

AGAIN THIS VIDEO IS GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING TO WATCH.

SO WE START WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT VIDEO SHOWING THAT GAS STATION AT THE CORNER OF LARMY.

YOU WILL SEE ALVAREZ ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.

WITH A POLICE UNIT LIGHTS ON FOLLOWING HIM THERE IS A CHASE THROUGH AN ALLEY AND THEN WE END UP IN THIS YARD HERE IN FRONT OF THIS HOME.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SLOWED THE VIDEO DOWN HERE.

YOU SEE AN OFFICER RAISING HIS WEAPON.

AND THEY DID THAT BECAUSE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WANTED TO POINT TO THIS MOMENT.

THERE IS AN ARROW POINTING TO A GUN IN ALVAREZ'S RIGHT HAND AND CELLPHONE IN THE LEFT HAND AND SECURITY VIDEO SHOWS HIM RUNNING ACROSS THE YARD TOWARDS THOSE STAIRS SHOTS ARE FIRED AND THEY ARE POINTING TO AGAIN THE FIREARM IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

AS ALVAREZ FALLS TO THE GROUND AFTER BEING SHOT SEVERAL TIMES BY POLICE OFFICERS AND THAT VIDEO POINTS TO WHERE THAT WEAPON LANDED A COUPLE FEET FROM ALVAREZ WHERE HE FELL TO THE GROUND THERE.

SO THE C.P.D.

AND THE CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY RELEASED THESE VIDEOS EARLIER THIS MORNING AND IT'S BEEN NEARLY A MONTH SINCE THE ACTUAL INCIDENT OCCURRED.

ANTHONY ALVAREZ'S FAMILY MEMBERS SAY THEY ARE, OF COURSE, OVERCOME WITH GRIEF.

AMANDA VINICKY JOINS US NOW FROM OUTSIDE THE C.P.D.

HEADQUARTERS.

AMANDA WHAT ARE WE HEARING FROM THE FAMILY?

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

>> YES, BRANDIS, ANTHONY ALVAREZ AS YOU NOTED THE 22 YEARS OLD DIED MARCH 31, TWO DAYS AFTER A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER SHOT AND KILLED 13-YEAR-OLD ADAM TOLEDO.

AND IN A STATEMENT RELEASED BY ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING THE ALVAREZ FAMILY THEY WANT TO REALIZE THAT ANTHONY ALVAREZ WAS MORE THAN A VICTIM OF A POLICE SHOOTING.

HE HAD JUST BOUGHT A NEW CAR.

HE WAS A GREAT SOCCER PLAYER.

INSTEAD OF PURSUING THAT HE WENT TO WORK AT A MEATPACKING PLANT UPON LEARNING HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS PREGNANT.

AND HE WAS A DOTING FATHER OF HIS NOW TWO-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS GONE, I REALLY MISS MY SON.

I JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS.

WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO ANTHONY HIS FATHER ASKS IN A STATEMENT.

AMONG THOSE QUESTIONS THAT THE FAMILY IS ASKING: WHAT PROVOKED POLICE TO CHASE ALVAREZ IN THE FIRST PLACE?

WE GOT FEW ANSWERS TODAY FROM CHICAGO POLICE SUPERINTENDENT DAVID BROWN.

WHO SAYS THAT HE CAN'T SAY MUCH DUE TO THIS BEING AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION.

>> I HAVE TO STAY NON-OPINIONATED ON FACTS UNTIL I GET THAT COMPLETE INVESTIGATION IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

>> HE SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY AND BECAUSE HE WILL ULTIMATELY HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER COPA'S DECISION ON WHETHER THE OFFICER WHO FIRED THAT TRIO OF SHOTS EVAN SA LAND KNOW WAS JUSTIFIED IN HIS ACTIONS THAT NIGHT ON MARCH THROW 1.

>> WE DID NOT GET ANSWERS FROM BROWN, MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT THIS MORNING INDICATED THAT THIS FOLLOWED SOME SORT OF MINOR TRAFFIC OFFENSE.

>> WHERE A MINOR TRAFFIC OFFENSE RESULTS IN SOMEONE BEING SHOT AND KILLED.

THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND IT SHOULDN'T BE ACCEPTABLE TO ANYONE.

AND AGAIN, THIS SHOOTING INVOLVED A FOOT CHASE.

THE DEPARTMENT IS MAKING PROGRESS ON MY DIRECTIVE TO REVISE THE FOOT CHASE POLICY.

>> THERE HAVE BEEN AN ON FOOT PURSUIT LEADING TO THE FATAL SHOOTING OF ADAM TOLEDO.

THE MAYOR AFTERWARD CALLED ON THE C.P.D.

TO GET A FOOT CHASE POLICY ENACTED BY THIS SUMMER.

C.P.D.

CHIEF BROWN SAYS THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS WORKING DILIGENTLY ON THAT HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CONSENT DECREE INDEPENDENT MONITOR WITH THE COMMUNITY AND HE HOPES TO RULE OUT THAT NEW -- ROLE OUT THAT NEW POLICY WITHIN WEEKSISM WE ARE OBVIOUSLY PROCEEDING WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY AS IT RELATES TO FOOT PURSUIT POLICIES AND TO HIGHLIGHT THE DANGERS NOT ONLY TO OFFICERS, THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND OFFENDERS FLEEING, SO IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET IT RIGHT.

>> IN A STATEMENT RESPONDING TO THE VIDEO, THE A.C.L.U.

OF ILLINOIS SAID THE LACK OF MEANINGFUL POLICE REFORM IN CHICAGO IS NOT ONLY COSTING THE CITY LIVES BUT TAKING A PSYCHOLOGICAL TOLL ON COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.

THE CITY MUST ABANDON THE SNAIL'S PACE OF POLICE REFORM AND BECOME SERIOUS ABOUT MAKING REAL CHANGES THAT SERVE ALL NEIGHBORHOODS.

THAT VIDEO HAS INTENSIFIED CALLS FROM OTHER ADVOCATES FOR CHANGE INCLUDING LEGAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE SEEKING THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THE USDOJ TO INVESTIGATE TOLEDO'S DEATH.

THIS WAS ANOTHER HEARTBREAKING NEEDLESS TRAGEDY.

AND HE SAYS THAT THIS IS CAUSED AFTER A PATTERN OF DISINVESTMENT IN LATINO COMMUNITIES.

>> WE CANNOT ALLOW THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE ITSELF.

BECAUSE IT HAS NOT WORKED IN THE PAST AND IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK IN THE FUTURE.

WE NEED TRANSPARENCY.

WE NEED TO ESTABLISH TRUST BETWEEN THE LATINO COMMUNITY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

>> THE SHOOTING OF ALVAREZ WAS NOT JUSTIFIED HE SAYS.

NOTING THAT ANTHONY ALVAREZ WAS FLEEING THAT HIS BACK WAS TURNED WHEN HE WAS SHOT AND POINTS OUT IN THE VIDEO WHEN YOU HEAR ALVAREZ IN HIS DYING WORDS WHY HE WAS SHOT, THE OFFICER RESPONDS BECAUSE YOU HAD A GUN.

>> AND IF THAT IS GOING TO BE THE STANDARD BY WHICH COPS IN CHICAGO ARE GOING TO BE SHOOTING ANYONE THAT HAS A GUN, THEN I THINK THE NRA NEEDS TO SEND OUT AN IMMEDIATE NOTICE TO THEIR MEMBERS AND SAY LOOK YOU MIGHT WANT TO LEAVE YOUR GUN AT HOME DON'T GO WITH YOUR GUN BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO GET SHOT IF YOU ARE CARRYING A GUN IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

>> ALDERMAN ARIEL REBOYRAS HE SAYS NOBODY WANTS TO SEE SOMEONE KILLED AND SAYS ALL OFFICIALS INCLUDING THE MAYOR ARE WORKING TO PREVENT SITUATIONS LIKE THESE.

HE IS GOING TO WAIT FOR THAT INVESTIGATION BY C.O.P.A.

TO PLAY OUT.

>> WITH EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT.

YOU CANNOT IF WE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THAT.

BECAUSE A POLICE OFFICER IS TRAINED, THE POLICE OFFICER IS LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYONE'S LIVES INCLUDING THEY'RE THEIRS.

>> FRIENDS, ACTIVISTS, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS HELD A VIGIL FOR ANTHONY ALVAREZ.

ARIEL REBOYRAS BEFOREHAND HE WENT DOOR-TO-DOOR ALONG THE BLOCK WHERE THE SHOOTING TOOK PLACE.

>> SOME CAME OUT SOME SPOKE TO YOU, SOME DIDN'T.

OTHERS DIDN'T ANSWER.

THEY ARE IN SHOCK.

RIGHTFULLY SO.

>> HE PLACES A LARGE PORTION OF THE BLAME ON THE PROLIFERATION OF GUNS COMING FROM NEIGHBORING INDIANA.

>> THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES.

I THINK CONGRESS NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AND THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING FAST ABOUT THAT.

IT DOESN'T ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING.

BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

>> HE, THE MAYOR AS WELL AS THE ALVAREZ FAMILY SAID IF THERE ARE TO BE ANY DEMONSTRATIONS OR PROTESTS IN THE NAME OF ALVAREZ THEY ASK, PLEAD, THAT THEY BE PEACEFUL.

THE ALVAREZ FAMILY SAYING IT DOES HAVE FAITH THAT COPA AND THE COOK COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY KIM FOXX WILL INVESTIGATE THE THOROUGHLY AND THEY SAY THEY ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS TO THE OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS.

BACK TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND NOW TO PARIS FOR MORE REACTION TO THE SHOOTING.

>> BRANDIS AS WE HEARD AMANDA REPORT THERE ARE SO MANY UNKNOWNS ABOUT THE POLICE SHOOTING OF ANTHONY ALVAREZ LAST MONTH INCLUDING WHY HE WAS STOPPED BY POLICE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THE CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY OR C.O.P.A.

HAS RECOMMENDED THE OFFICER WHO SHOT ALVAREZ BE RELEASED OF POLICE POWERS WHILE THE SHOOTING IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BUT POLICE CHIEF DAVID BROWN REFUSED TO COMMENT AT ALL ABOUT THE CASE UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE.

JOINING US WITH MORE ARE JAMIE KALVEN, FOUNDER REPORTER AT THE INSURANCE VISIBLE INSTITUTE HIS REPORT WAG INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING ATTENTION TO THE 2014 POLICE SHOOTING OF LAQUAN McDONALD.

AND SHARON FAIRLEY A PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW SCHOOL SHE PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR OF THE INDEPENDENT POLICE REVIEW AUTHORITY I.P.R.A., THE AGENCY THAT PRECEDED C.O.P.A.

WELCOME BOTH OF YOU BACK TO "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

SHARON FAIRLEY, THE VIDEO YOU SAW, THE EVIDENCE YOU'VE SEEN RELEASED, YOUR INITIAL REACTIONS?

>> WELL, OF COURSE, THE INITIAL REACTION IS A HUGE TRAGEDY.

IT'S INCREDIBLY UPSETTING AND IT'S JUST IS A TRAGEDY.

IT'S HARD TO WATCH.

IT'S HARD TO WATCH.

IT'S HARD TO SEE JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF FOOT PURSUIT ENDED IN A FATAL ENCOUNTER.

>> THE MAYOR SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A TRAFFIC INCIDENT BUT THE POLICE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES REGARDING WHY POLICE WERE CHASING ANTHONY ALVAREZ DOWN.

DO YOU KNOW ANYMORE THAN WHAT THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN PRIVY TO SO FAR?

>> I DON'T.

I HEARD THE MAYOR'S REMARKS.

THERE WAS NOTHING AS YOU NOTED, THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE INITIAL STATEMENT FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE INCIDENT AS TO WHY HE WAS STOPPED.

AS YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM THE GAS STATION, HE IS WALKING WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE TWO BAGS OF GROCERIES.

THE POLICE APPROACH AGGRESSIVELY THE CAR SWOOPES IN AND HE TAKES OFF WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE REASON THE POLICE CAME AT HIM.

AND I THINK MY OVERWHELMING REACTION TO THIS AS TO SO MANY OF THE FATAL POLICE SHOOTINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN AROUND THE COUNTRY, IS DID THIS NEED TO HAPPEN AT ALL?

THINK ABOUT ALL THE INCIDENTS THAT WERE SENT IN MOTION BY TRIVIAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OCCASIONS.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS AND THE MAYOR HAS SPOKEN TO THIS THAT WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON HEAR IT IS A MODE OF POLICING THAT KEEPS MANUFACTURING THE SO-CALLED SPLIT SECOND IN WHICH THE POLICE HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO USE DEADLY FORCE.

>> I WANT TO GET TO MORE OF THAT FOOT PURSUIT POLICY.

SHARON AS SOMEONE WHO REVIEWED MANY OF THE CASES AS THE HEAD OF I.P.R.A.

WHEN YOU SEE A VICTIM OR A SUSPECT WHATEVER YOU CALL IT IN THIS CASE WITH A GUN, IS IT HARD TO MAKE THE CASE THAT THERE SHOULD BE PUNITIVE ACTION AGAINST THE POLICE OFFICER?

>> WELL, SO, WE KNOW THAT TWO THINGS.

WE KNOW THAT THE POLICE OFFICER DOES NOT HAVE TO WAIT TO BE UNTIL HE IS STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN TO DEFEND HIMSELF AND WE KNOW A POLICE OFFICER CANNOT JUST SHOOT AN INDIVIDUAL MERELY BECAUSE THEY POSSESS A FIREARM.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE.

IF YOU LOOK AT FOOT PURSUIT POLICIES IF YOU LOOK AT HOUSTON'S POLICY THEY SAY IF THERE'S SOMEONE WITH A GUN INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARD WITH A CHASE WE MIGHT WANT TO LAY BACK AND DO MORE OF A CONTAINMENT APPROACH, SURVEILLANCE AND CONTAINMENT APPROACH.

WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE AND UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE TELLING OFFICERS WHAT TO DO IN THESE SITUATIONS.

>> AND JAMIE KALVEN YOU HEARD THE MAYOR SAY THEY ARE GOING TO COME UP WITH A FOOT PURSUIT POLICY.

IS THAT THE POLICY THAT SHARON FAIRLEY MENTION SECOND THAT A BETTER POLICY FOR C.P.D.

TO USE?

>> CERTAINLY THAT WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT.

THIS IS OVERDUE.

THIS HAS BEEN NOTED YOU KNOW, SINCE THE POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY TASK IN 2016 AT THE CURRENT MAYOR WAS THE CHAIR OF THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AGAIN AND AGAIN AS A PROBLEM.

WE HAVE TO CALL FOR WE TALK ABOUT POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY THERE IS A MODE OF POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY WE NEED TO CALL FOR.

WE HAVE SOME PARENTS AND PRACTICES LONG IDENTIFIED DIAGNOSED THINGS THAT ARE FIXABLE AND HAVEN'T BEEN FIXED.

I APPRECIATE THE URGENCY WITH WHICH THIS IS BEING TALKED ABOUT NOW.

AND I THINK THE CRITICAL THING THAT APPLIES BEYOND FOOT PURSUIT IT APPLIES TO TRAFFIC STOPS AND A NUMBER OF POLICE PRACTICES IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF INTERACTIONS BETWEEN POLICE AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT SERVE NO PURPOSE AND CAN BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE THAT ARE ALIENATING FOR PEOPLE AT BEST AND RISK THESE CATASTROPHIC OUTCOMES AT WORST.

THAT IS THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS.

A FOOT PURSUIT POLICY THAT MEANT THERE WERE FEWER OCCASIONS LIKE THIS ONE WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT.

I THINK THAT'S THE PRINCIPLE WE SHOULD BE APPLYING TO ALL SORTS OF POLICE INTERACTIONS.

>> THIS CALLS TO MIND A CASE THAT HAPPENED AFLAC LACK, SEVERAL YEARS AGO RONNY JOHNSON A SHOOTING HE IS RUNNING AWAY HE HAS A GUN, HE IS SHOT AND THE SHOOTING WAS RULED JUSTIFIED AND ONE OF JUSTIFICATIONS WAS HE IS A DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY IF HE IS RESISTING ARREST AND RUNNING WITH A GUN.

DO YOU SEE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THAT CASE AND THIS CASE, SHARON FAIRLEY?

>> I THINK THE REASON WHY IT WAS CONSIDERED THAT IN AT THAT TIME, WAS THE CERTAINLY THE CHICAGO POLICE POLICY WAS DIFFERENT THEN AND BASED ON THE LAW THAT A POLICE OFFICER CAN BE JUSTIFIED IN USING DEADLY FORCE AGAINST SOMEONE WHO IS FLEEING BY THE USE OF A DEADLY WEAPON.

AND SO THAT IS A QUESTION THAT COMES UP A LOT IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE FOOT PURSUITS.

UNDER THE LAW HERE IN ILLINOIS THAT IS PERMISSIBLE.

NOW, CURRENTLY, THE CURRENT CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY NOT IN EFFECT THEN SAYS THAT IS NOT THE CASE THAT A PERSON MUST PRESENT AN IMMINENT THREAT TO THE OFFICER OR SOMEONE ELSE IN ORDER FOR THE OFFICER TO BE JUSTIFIED IN THE USE OF DEADLY FORCE.

THE CURRENT POLICY IS MORE STRINGENT.

>> JAMIE KALVEN, AS MENTIONED THIS IS HAPPENING AS THE POLICE IS WORKING TO COMPLY WITH A FEDERAL CONSENT DECREE.

THAT STEMS FROM THE POLICE SHOOTING OF LAQUAN McDONALD.

WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU THAT THIS IS HAPPENING SO OFTEN DESPITE THESE EFFORTS AT REFORM?

>> YEAH, I MEAN I THINK IT JUST IS SOMETHING THAT I ALMOST WANT TO SAY WE NEED TO BE ASHAMED OF.

IT'S NOW HOW MANY YEARS SINCE THE REVELATIONS IN THE LAQUAN McDONALD CASE PRODUCED A SENSE THAT POLICE REFORM WAS THE MOST URGENT PRIORITY IN THE CITY.

AND HERE WE ARE.

AND YOU KNOW, AS I SAID, THE ISSUE OF FOOT PURSUITS, THE ISSUE OF FREQUENT AND EXCESSIVE USE-OF-FORCE BY THE DEPARTMENT, HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY DIAGNOSED.

SO WHERE IS THE POLITICAL WILL, WHERE IS THE CLARITY OF PURPOSE TO ADDRESS THESE THINGS?

AND THE KEY I THINK FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND, IS EVERYDAY THAT WE DON'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE WITHIN OUR POWER TO AMELIORATE WE CREATE MORE ANTHONY ALVAREZ'S.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR NAMES WILL BE TOMORROW AND THE NEXT DAY BUT WE KNOW THESE ARE PREDICTABLE OUTCOMES IF WE DON'T ALTER THE MODE OF POLICING THAT IS PRACTICED IN BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES IN THE CITY.

>> AND IT WINDS UP PRODUCING MORE VIDEOS THAT I KNOW ROCK THE CONSCIENCE OF THE PUBLIC AND FOLKS WATCHING.

OUR THANKS TO JAMIE KALVEN AND SHARON FAIRLEY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

>> THANK YOU.

>> UP NEXT A CAUCUS OF MOTHERS.

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF THEIR AGENDA?

STAY WITH US TO FIND OUT.

>> NO MATTER SIDE OF THE POLITICAL AISLE THEY MAY STAND ON THERE IS ONE THING MANY WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT: MOTHERHOOD.

MORE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE COME TOGETHER TO FORM THE BIPARTISAN MAMA'S CAUCUS TO TACKLE ISSUES SPECIFIC TO MOTHERS AS THE COVID PANDEMIC COMPOUNDED THE CHALLENGES WOMEN FACE AT WORK AND AT HOME.

FORCING SOME TO LEAVE THE WORKPLACE ENTIRELY IN ORDER TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

JOINING US TO TALK ABOUT IT ARE TWO OF THE GROUP'S COFOUNDER, AVERY BOURNE A REPUBLICAN WHO REPRESENTS PARTS OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

SHE SERVES AS THE ASSISTANT REPUBLICAN LEADER IN THE HOUSE.

AND CITY TREASURER, MELISSA CONYEARS, A DEMOCRAT WHO PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS A STATE REPRESENTATIVE.

MOMS, MOTHERS THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

REPRESENTATIVE BOURNE LET'S START WITH YOU, PLEASE, WHY DID YOU AND THE FOUNDER WANT TO CREATE THIS CAUCUS?

>> I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN I THINK IN POLITICS WE ARE SO POLARIZED TO FIND AN ISSUE OF COMMONALITY AND BUILD ON THAT.

MOMS GET A LOT DONE AND WE CERTAINLY HAVE A LOT TO GET DONE AND TO START AT THE PLACE WHERE WE CAN CONNECT WHICH IS MOTHERHOOD, I THINK IS A GOOD STARTING POINT AND I'VE ENJOYED GETTING TO KNOW THESE MOMS AND WE WILL GET TO HEAR FROM MOM WHAT IS THEY NEED FROM GOVERNMENT AND POLICYMAKERS.

>> TREASURER MELISSA CONYEARS DESCRIBE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU FACED NAVIGATING MOTHERHOOD AND YOUR WORK AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL WHICH IS DIFFERENT COMPARED TO THE REST OF US WORKING MOMS.

>> SO, BRANDIS TO YOUR POINT, IT'S A CHALLENGE JUST BEING A WORKING MOTHER.

AND SO IT IS A CHALLENGE JUST BEING A MOTHER.

AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT AS A MOTHER OUR CHILD OR CHILDREN THOSE ARE OUR BABIES, BUT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL SOMETIMES WE FEEL AS IF OUR ROLES THE JOB IS ANOTHER CHILD.

AND I THINK THAT IT'S ALMOST LIKE A CHILD THAT NEVER SLEEPS AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING ALL DAY SOMETIMES LATE INTO THE EVENING, WEEKENDS, YOU NAME IT.

WE DO IT BECAUSE WE LOVE IT.

BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT SUPPORT IS NEEDED.

ESPECIALLY IF WE WANT MORE MOTHERS TO RUN FOR OFFICE.

THAT'S WHY I AM SUCH AN ADVOCATE OF THIS CAUCUS AND SO EXCITED THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

>> REPRESENTATIVE BOURNE WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE BEEN AS BOTH A MOTHER AND A LAWMAKER?

>> SURE.

YOU KNOW, I STARTED OUT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL NOT AS A MOM.

ADDING THAT LAYER TO IT, I THINK ADDED CHALLENGES.

BUT IT ALSO HELPS ME APPRECIATE THE GRAVITY OF THE WORK WE DO.

ANYONE WHO IS A PARENT UNDERSTANDS THAT EVERYTHING CHANGES WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD AND YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THE POLICY DECISIONS WILL MAKE GENERATIONS TO COME.

CERTAINLY, AS MELISSA SAID JUGGLING CHILDREN IS ALWAYS ADDS ANOTHER LAYER BUT MOTHERHOOD IS SUCH A BLESSING AND BEING ABLE TO LOOK OUT FOR THAT NEXT GENERATION THROUGH A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE IS VALUABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE.

>> WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE PHOTOS OF YOU WITH YOUR KIDS ON THE JOB.

WHETHER IT BE ON THE HOUSE FLOOR OR OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CAUCUS WHILE THEY ARE CAMPAIGNING OR WORKING WITH CONSTITUENTS.

TREASURER, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS CAUCUS FORMING AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME KNOWING THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON MOTHERS IN THE WORKPLACE?

>> I THINK THE PANDEMIC DEFINITELY MADE US MORE AWARE OF WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW AS MOTHERS; FIRST OF ALL WOMEN DO IT ALL AND WE DO IT WELL BUT WE NEED SUPPORT.

WHICH IS REALLY THE PURPOSE OF THIS CAUCUS.

WHEN YOU OPEN THE SEGMENT SPEAKING ABOUT HOW MANY WOMEN LEFT THE WORKFORCE DURING THE PANDEMIC.

I THINK OVER TWO MILLION WOMEN LEFT THE WORKFORCE DURING THE PANDEMIC.

VERY DEVASTATING NUMBERS, BRANDIS.

BUT THAT REALLY TELLS US THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

AND I WOULD ARGUE THAT PROBABLY MOST OF THE WOMEN THAT LEFT THE WORKFORCE WERE MOTHERS.

SO NOT ONLY THE DEMAND OF OUR REGULAR JOBS BUT WITH THE DEMAND OF OUR CHILDREN AND DEMANDS OF OUR SPOUSES AND FAMILIES, THE PANDEMIC TRULY EXPOSED THAT.

WHAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT THIS MAMA'S CAUCUS AND BY THE WAY WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS COMING SATURDAY WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

BUT WHAT I APPRECIATE IS THAT WE HAVE MOTHERS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

AND AS BIPARTISAN.

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALL MAMAS ARE NOT REPUBLICANS ALL MAMAS ARE NOT DEMOCRATS OR INDEPENDENTS.

IF WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THE ISSUE OF MAMAS THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

>> REPRESENTATIVE BOURNE HOW YOU ALL ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WORK ACROSS THE AGENCIES?

SOME OF YOU ARE CITY OFFICIALS OBVIOUSLY STATE REPRESENTATIVES, SO WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF THE AGENDA AND HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK ACROSS THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND POSITIONS YOU ALL HOLD?

>> I THINK OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS LISTENING.

SO THERE ARE POLICIES THAT ARE MADE AT EVERY LEVEL FROM FEDERAL RIGHT ON DOWN TO YOUR MOST LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL BODY THAT IMPACTS PEOPLE'S LIVES EVERYDAY.

SO I THINK OUR FIRST AGENDA ITEM IS LISTENING WHAT IS IMPACTING MOM'S LIVES THE MOST WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE ILLINOIS THE MOST MOM FRIENDLY STATE.

AND WHAT VENUE DOES IT FALL UNDER, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, OR LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES.

WE WILL GET A BETTER PICTURE AFTER WE HEAR FROM THE MOMS.

>> AND ONE OF THE THINGS AS TREASURER ERVIN MENTIONED YOU ARE HAVING A TOWN HALL SATURDAY FOCUSING ON EMPLOYMENT, CHILDCARE AND SELF CARE.

TREASURER, WHY ARE THOSE YOUR TOP THREE ISSUES TO BEGIN WITH?

>> THERE ARE A MILLION ISSUES WE COULD SPEAK ABOUT SATURDAY AND PLEASE, REGISTER AT MAMA'S CAUCUS.ORG WE WANT MOTHERS AT ALL THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT.

AS REPRESENTATIVE BOURNE SAID THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

THREE COMMON TOPICS THAT WE KNOW HAVE AFFECTED ALL MOTHERS THROUGHOUT THIS PANDEMIC.

SO SELF CARE, EMPLOYMENT THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT ALREADY.

CHILDCARE THAT WE KNOW HAS BEEN AN ISSUE DURING THE PANDEMIC.

VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS THAT WE WILL BE LISTENING SATURDAY.

>> ALL THREE GOOD PLACES TO START I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE DOWN THE ROAD.

FOR NOW THANKS TO STATE REPRESENTATIVE AVERY BOURNE AND TREASURER MELISSA CONYEARS FOR JOINING US.

>> AND PARIS WE TOSS IT BACK TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND THERE IS MUCH MORE AHEAD ON THE PROGRAM INCLUDING A PREVIEW OF PRESIDENT BIDEN'S SPEECH TO CONGRESS TONIGHT.

FIRST SCIENTISTS IN PILSEN ARE EXPLORING CENTURY'S OLD PAINT FRTION COLONIAL ERA MEXICO AND SEARCHING FOR CLUES TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS ARTWORK.

MARC VITALI VISITED THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MEXICAN ART FOR A MEET UP OF ART AND SCIENCE.

>> THE MUSEUM HAS BEEN CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC FOR MORE THAN A YEAR BUT THE STAFF STAYS BUSY.

THEY ARE ASSISTING VISITING SCIENTISTS WHO HOPE TO DISCOVER NEW INFORMATION ABOUT CURIOUS CANVASS.

>> WE HAVE THE INCREDIBLE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE PAST OF SOME OF OUR PIECES FROM THE COLLECTION.

SO WE HAVE TAKEN THEM DOWN FROM THE PERMANENT EXHIBITION HERE AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MEXICAN ART AND TAKEN THEM ACROSS THE HALL INTO A TEMPORARY LABORATORY WHERE THEY ARE BEING EXAMINED AND THEY ARE BEING SCRUTINIZED TO SEE WHAT THEIR TRUE STORY MAY BE.

>> LIKE THIS VIRGIN, THE PAINTINGS ARE DEVOTIONAL IMAGES OF CHRISTIANITY MOST FROM THE 18TH CENTURY.

>> IN MEXICO, THE COLONIAL ERA ENDS TECHNICALLY AS SOON AS MEXICO BECOMES A REPUBLIC.

1810 IS USUALLY THE CUTOFF DATE.

THE PIECES EXAMINED WE BELIEVE ARE FROM RIGHT AROUND THERE AND CERTAINLY FEATURE IDEAS, CONCEPTS, BELIEFS FROM THAT TIME PERIOD.

>> RESEARCHERS ARE COLLECTING DATA WITH A COMBINATION OF HYPER IMAGING AND X-RAY FLORESCENTS.

THE MOBILE LAB WAS SETUP BY THE SCIENTIFIC CENTER FOR THE STUDY AND THE ARTS THE NORTHERN WESTERN UNIVERSITY AND THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO.

>> IT'S WHAT THE CENTER IS DESIGNED TO DO TO TRAVEL TO MUSEUMS AND INSTITUTIONS TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT.

WHERE THERE IS OTHERWISE NO OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO AND TODAY WE ARE HERE MIDWAY THROUGH OUR CAMPAIGN WITH THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MEXICAN ART LOOKING AT SIX PAINTINGS TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF ART PRODUCTION.

>> THEY HOPE TO FIND OUT WHAT PIGMENTS WERE USED.

>> AND THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWING US SOME AREAS THAT HAVE GENUINE GOLD WE'RE FINDING COPPER IN THE GREENS.

ALSO LOOKING FOR A NICE BEAUTIFUL ITALIAN WORD FOR HOW AN ARTIST CHANGES THEIR MIND IN THE DESIGN OF A PIECE.

MAYBE THEY STARTED WITH A SKETCH AND THEY PAINTED OVER THAT.

>> THE SCIENCE TEAM VIEWS THE TRIP AS OUTREACH PROJECT.

>> SCIENTIFIC STUDY BUT THERE IS A BROADER SCOPE WHICH IS TO BRING SCIENCE AND ART TO A WIDER AUDIENCE WHICH IS ALWAYS NICE FOR US SCIENTISTS.

THEY ARE IN THE DATA COLLECTING PHASE.

A FULL REPORT WILL COME LATER.

>> WHAT FOLLOWS FROM THIS TRIP IS A LOT OF POST PRODUCTION.

A LOT OF ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS IN INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FOLKS HERE.

>> THERE IS A SORT OF JEANOLOGY PROJECT OF THE WORKS OF ART.

WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT OUR TREASURERS THAT WE HAVE, AND REALLY SEE WHERE THEY CAME FROM AND WHAT THEIR HISTORY WHAT THEIR PAST WAS.

AND OF COURSE, THAT WILL JUST ADD SO MUCH MORE TO THE STORIES OF OUR COMMUNITY WHETHER IN CHICAGO OR MEXICO.

>> FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" THIS IS MARC VITALI.

>> THE WORK WRAPS UP THIS WEEK AND WE WILL UPDATE THE STORY LATER THIS YEAR.

BRANDIS BACK TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> STILL TO COME ON "CHICAGO TONIGHT"... PRESIDENT BIDEN ADDRESSES A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS BUT THE CROWD WILL BE PARED DOWN.

POLITICAL SPEECHWRITERS WEIGH-IN ON THE PROMISES AND PITFALLS.

>> RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE JUST SAYING NO.

>> AND THE GOVERNOR POINTING FINGERS AT THE G.O.P.

THE FOCUS OF OUR SPOTLIGHT POLITICS.

>> BUT FIRST, ANOTHER LOOK AT TODAY'S TOP STORY.

EARLIER IN THE PROGRAM WE SHOWED YOU THE JUST RELEASED VIDEO OF THE POLICE SHOOTING OF ANTHONY ALVAREZ.

THE VIDEO RELEASED TODAY SHOWS AN OFFICER SHOOTING AT ALVAREZ MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FRONT YARD OF A HOME IN THE 5200 BLOCK IN PORTAGE PARK.

THE STATEMENT ON THE SHOOTING DID NOT SAY WHAT SPARKED THAT PURSUIT BUT MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT THIS MORNING IMPLIED IT INVOLVED A MINOR TRAFFIC OFFENSE.

WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE AN EXTENDED CLIP OF THIS VIDEO.

IT IS GRAPHIC AND DIFFICULT TO WATCH.

YOU WILL SEE 22-YEAR-OLD ANTHONY ALVAREZ SHOT TO DEATH.

WE'RE ONLY PLAYING THIS EXTENDED CLIP BECAUSE WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT WE WILL NOT BE USING IT IN FULL OTHERWISE.

HERE IS ALMOST TWO MINUTES OF VIDEO BEGINNING WITH THE CHASE.

YOU WILL SEE THE EVENT FROM THE SHOOTING OFFICER'S BODY-CAMERA AND WE SWITCH TO THE BODY-CAM FROM THE OTHER OFFICER ON THE SCENE AND BACK AND WE'VE EDITED THIS IN REALTIME.

>> HEY, DROP THE GUN!

DROP THE GUN!

>> WHY ARE YOU SHOOTING ME?

>> YOU HAD A GUN.

>> GET ON THE GROUND.

>> GET ON THE GROUND.

>> SHOTS FIRED BY THE POLICE.

>> STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP.

I AM GOING TO RENDER AID.

>> I'M GOING TO DIE.

>> STOP!

I GOT YOU.

I GOT YOU.

WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE.

STOP, STOP.

WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE.

>> CUFF HIM.

>> NO I'M GOING TO RENDER AID.

I'M GOING TO RENDER AID!

>> HEY.

I'M RENDERING AID.

STOP, GET DOWN.

>> THE GUN IS RIGHT THERE.

THE GUN IS RIGHT THERE.

>> STOP, STOP, STOP MOVING!

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!

I'M TRYING TO STAY WITH ME DUDE, STAY WITH ME!

STAY WITH ME, MAN!

STAY WITH ME!

>> THE OFFICER THEN ATTEMPTS TO APPLY A TOWN KET TO ALVAREZ AND OTHER OFFICERS ADMINISTERED CPR AND CHEST COMPRESSIONS.

THE 22-YEAR-OLD DIED THAT NIGHT.

CAN YOU READ MORE ON WTTW.COM/NEWS.

>> AND WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THIS LATER ON IN THE PROGRAM DURING SPOTLIGHT POLITICS.

>> AND NOW TO PARIS FOR A PREVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH TONIGHT.

PARIS?

>> BRANDIS, IN LESS THAN AN HOUR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WILL ADDRESS A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS TO MARK 100 DAYS SINCE TAKING OFFICE AND PITCH SWEEPING PROPOSALS.

WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JEN PSAKI GAVE A PREYOU VIEW OF WHAT BIDEN MIGHT SAY.

>> THE MAJOR POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE SPEECH IS THE AMERICAN FAMILIES PLAN.

A HISTORIC INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION AND CHILDCARE HE WILL USE THE SPEECH AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT MANY OF HIS OTHER PRIORITIES INCLUDING POLICE REFORM, IMMIGRATION, GUN SAFETY, ONGOING WORK TO GET THE PANDEMIC UNDER CONTROL.

AND TO PUTTING AMERICANS BACK TO WORK.

>> AND JOINING US ARE MARI MASENG WILL, PRINCIPLE OF MASENG COMMUNICATIONS AND SPEECHWRITER.

AND JASON DE SANTO SENIOR LECTURER AT PRITZKER'S SCHOOL OF LAW AND A SPEECHWRITER AND DEBATE ADVISER FOR MANY DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK HERE.

JASON I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE OPTICS A SPEECH IN FRONT OF A SPARSELY POPULATED ROOM, SOCIALLY DISTANT WEARING MASKS.

MANY REPUBLICANS SAYING THEY WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE AND A CAPITOL REELING FROM WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6.

HOW DOES THIS PLAY IN TO WHAT VIEWER WILL SEE ON TV TONIGHT?

>> THEY WILL SEE A DIFFERENT SPECTACLE AND IT USUALLY IS A SPECIFIC KA LEGAL.

WE THINK ABOUT THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESSES BUT THE JOINT SESSION SPEECH HAS TAKEN ON THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PRESIDENCY MOTIF WHERE IT ACTS LIKE A STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS BUT IT'S NOT CALLED ONE.

AND WE ARE THINKING ABOUT 1600 PEOPLE PRESENT AND THIS TIME 200.

THE DYNAMICS WILL BE DIFFERENT.

THE ROOM WILL BE EMPTIER FROM AN AUDITORY PERSPECTIVE THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT FOR JOE BIDEN AND WHAT WE WILL SEE AT HOME IN THE SHOTS THAT WE'LL SEE OF REACTIONS.

BUT ULTIMATELY, THE NAME OF THE GAME HERE IS THE ABILITY TO AT ONE MOMENT IN TIME TALK ABOUT THE PAST, PRESENT AND CHART A COURSE FOR THE FUTURE THAT IS WHAT THE SPEECHES DO AND THAT IS WHAT JOE BIDEN IS GOING TO TRY TO DO TONIGHT.

>> MARI MASENG WILL YOU HEARD JEN PSAKI TALK ABOUT THE AMERICAN FAMILIES PLAN FUNDING UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL, COMMUNITY COLLEGE, WOULD YOU EXPECT A POLICY LADEN SPEECH?

>> THAT IS WHAT IT USUALLY TIRN TURNS OUT TO BE.

THE SPEECHES ARE EASY BUT A NIGHTMARE TO WRITE AND OFTEN HARD TO ENDURE.

IT IS A CHALLENGE FOR THE SPEECHWRITER TO TRY TO KEEP IT A COHERENT PULL YOU HEARD THE LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS JEN SAID THEY WOULD TRY TO INCLUDE.

THE SPEECHWRITER BATTLES AGAINST EVERYBODY WHO HAS AN IDEA IN THE WEST WING AND THE CABINET AGENCIES TO INCLUDE IN THERE.

I AM HOPING, HOWEVER, THAT IT WON'T BE AS MUCH THAT AS IT WILL BE THE PRESIDENT SEIZING THIS OPTIMISTIC MOMENT IN AMERICA WHERE I THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE FEELING GOOD RIGHT.

EVERYONE WHO CAN WANTS TO BE VACCINATED CAN BE.

PEOPLE ARE FEELING FREE.

THEY CAN HUG EACH OTHER AGAIN THEY ARE GOING BACK TO WORK.

AND IT'S SPRINGTIME.

AND I THINK THAT IF HE WERE TO BOND WITH THAT MOMENT AND GIVE AN ASPIRATIONAL SPEECH RATHER THAN A POLICY SPEECH YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME TO HAVE AND CHECK THE BOXES.

BUT IF IT WAS ABOUT THE AMERICA THAT HE WANTED TO SEE AGAIN AND IN A BETTER AMERICA THAN WE'VE HAD BEFORE THAT WOULD BE A MOMENT THAT WOULD HELP HIS PERSONAL POPULARITY AND HIS PRESIDENCY.

>> HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL PEACE.

JASON DE SANTO ONE OF THE THINGS THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO SEE IS BIPARTISANSHIP IN THE COUNTRY.

HE TRIED TO WALK THAT LINE, REPUBLICANS SAY BIPARTISANSHIP IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, DO YOU THINK HE WILL TRY TO PERSUADE REPUBLICANS THAT WE ARE ENTERING A BIPARTISAN MOMENT?

>> I THINK HE IS GOING TO TRY TO PERSUADE AMERICANS THAT HE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT HE IS LISTENING AND HAS AN ARM OUTSTRETCHED.

I THINK RHETORICALLY IS WHAT HE WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE TWO THINGS; FIRST HIS PROPOSALS ARE COMMON SENSE AND ARE IN STEP WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PARTICULARLY WITH THE MIDDLE CLASS.

THAT IS A CHALLENGE AND AT THE SAME TIME DEMONSTRATE THAT REPUBLICANS WHO ARE IN CONGRESS ARE ACTING IN A WAY WHICH IS MORE IDEOLOGICAL AND WHICH IS NOT REALLY READY TO FINE COMMON GROUND.

AND THEN HE WILL HAVE TO DO TO TRY TO SEPARATE AS HE'S TRIED TO DO, REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP, REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS FROM REPUBLICANS IN THE COUNTRY.

AND MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT HIS PLANS ARE POPULAR THAT HE HAS 69% APPROVAL RATINGS ON HANDLING THE PANDEMIC.

HE WON'T CITE THAT NUMBER BUT HE KNOWS THAT AND HE KNOWS HE HAS A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WHO ARE IN FAVOR BROADLY OF HIS ECONOMIC STEWARDSHIP.

I THINK WHAT HE IS GOING TO TRY TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT HE IS ADVOCATE SOMETHING IN STEP WITH PEOPLE NOT REPUBLICANS THEMSELVES AND THAT IS A DEBATE THEY WILL BE HAVING WHEN HE IS DONE TONIGHT.

>> AND MARI MASENG WILL, WE'VE HEARD REPUBLICAN NOT SEIZE THE SPENDING BUT FOCUSING ON THE BORDER, CULTURE WAR ISSUES, DR. SEUSS WE WILL HAVE SOUTH CAROLINA TIM SCOTT GIVE THE REBUTTAL IS THAT THE KIND OF THING YOU WOULD EXPECT IN THAT SPEECH?

>> OH, NO, TIM SCOTT IS ONE OF THE MOST LIKED SENATORS IN THAT CHAMBER.

HE'S VERY SMART.

HE IS ALSO AFFABLE AND HE IS INTERESTED IN BIPARTISAN WORKING IN A BIPARTISAN WAY.

HE HAD INTRODUCED PREVIOUSLY FOR EXAMPLE, JUSTICE REFORM AND HE IS VERY INTERESTED IN THAT.

I ACTUALLY THINK -- DISAGREE A LITTLE BIT WITH JASON HERE, I DON'T THINK THE PRESIDENT SHOULD ATTACK THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

IF I WERE HIM, I WOULD NOT ATTACK ANYBODY.

I WOULD TRY TO -- JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT I WANTED TO ACHIEVE AND I THINK THERE IS A BIG INTERSECTION IN THE THEN DIAGRAM BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS IN SOME OF THE CORE ISSUES LIKE POLICE REFORM, JUSTICE REFORM, IMMIGRATION REFORM.

AND HE'S GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A FREE PASS ON THE ECONOMIC PROPOSALS SINCE THE REPUBLICANS SPENT LIKE CRAZY DURING THE LAST ADMINISTRATION SO THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR THEORY OF GOVERN ANSWER BACK -- GOVERNANCE BACK TOGETHER.

I WAS ENCOURAGED TO HEAR THAT HE MIGHT THINK BEING BREAKING APART IMMIGRATION REFORM INTO SMALLER PIECES BECAUSE I THINK MAKING THE CHILDREN WHO CAME HERE NOT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN WILL, THE DACA YOUNG PEOPLE ENABLING THEM TO BECOME AMERICANS RIGHT AWAY, I THINK THAT THERE IS AN 80% ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES.

IF YOU COULD TAKE THINGS LIKE THAT PIECE BY PIECE, THE REST OF IT WILL HAVE TO BE NEGOTIATED.

BUT I THINK MOST AMERICANS WANT THERE TO BE A PATHWAY FOR CITIZENSHIP AND I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO COMPROMISE ON SOME OF THESE ISSUES.

I THINK THAT IS WHAT TIM SCOTT WILL TRY TO TALK ABOUT.

I HOPE IT IS.

I HOPE HE WILL PRESENT A MORE HARMONIOUS OPTIMISTIC POSSIBILITY FOR AMERICA.

>> GREAT INSIGHTS BUT WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

THANKS TO MARI MASENG WILL AND JASON DE SANTO.

>> UP NEXT OUR SPOTLIGHT POLITICS TEAM DIVES INTO THE DETAILS OF THE POLICE SHOOTING OF ANTHONY ALVAREZ.

BUT FIRST WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEATHER.

>> ANOTHER POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTING.

THIS TIME OF ANTHONY ALVAREZ.

RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF VIDEO RELEASED SHOWING THE DEATH OF 13-YEAR-OLD ADAM TOLEDO.

THAT IS THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S SPOTLIGHT POLITICS.

HERE WITH THAT AND MORE ARE WTTW NEWS REPORTER MATT MASTERSON WHO HAS BEEN COVERING THE ALVAREZ SHOOTING ALONG WITH HEATHER CHERONE, AMANDA VINICKY AND PARIS SCHUTZ.

GANG WE ARE NOT GOING TO SHOW THE VIDEO OF THAT POLICE SHOOTING OF ANTHONY ALVAREZ IN FULL THEN BUT WE ARE GOING TO SHOW THE FOOT CHASE THAT PRECEDED THAT SHOOTING.

WALK US THROUGH?

>> THIS IS THE BODY-CAM FOOTAGE OF THE POLICE OFFICER CHASING DOWN Mr. ALVAREZ ROUNDING THE CORNER AND THERE IS Mr. ALVAREZ IS THERE IS WHERE THE SHOTS HAPPENED AND THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FROM THE HOUSE IT IS A BETTER ANGLE WITH ALVAREZ WITH A GUN A GUN IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

AND THE BODY-CAM FOOTAGE FROM THE WITNESS COP THE SECOND COP FOLLOWING THIS.

AND YOU KNOW, THE SLOWED DOWN PART, THIS IS C.P.D.

DOCTORED FOOTAGE AND THEY DID THIS WITH THE ADAM TOLEDO CASE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO PAINT A PICTURE OF ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SURROUNDED WHAT HAPPENED.

THAT THE POLICE OFFICER WAS FACING IN THAT MOMENT.

THAT APPARENTLY Mr. ALVAREZ HAD A GUN AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS SORT OF THE CASE THAT THEY WILL MAKE AS C.O.P.A.

INVESTIGATES HERE AND THE STATE'S ATTORNEY DECIDES WHETHER TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THIS WAS A WRONGFUL SHOOTING OR NOT.

>> MATT, WELCOME TO SPOTLIGHT POLITICS.

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT SAID THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AFTER A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP.

WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT?

>> THAT IS THE QUESTION RIGHT NOW.

THAT WAS THE BIGGEST WINDOW WHAT WE GOT INTO THAT PRECEDED THIS FOOT CHASE THAT THIS INVOLVED A MINOR TRAFFIC OFFENSE BUT THE VIDEOS WE SAW THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE SHOWED US ANTHONY ALVAREZ WALKING THROUGH A GAS STATION PARKING LOT HE WAS NOT IN A CAR AND THE POLICE CAME THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AS HE WAS WALKING.

IT'S NOT CLEAR RIGHT NOW WHAT THE MAYOR WAS REFERRING TO.

POLICE OFFICIALS RECOGNIZED THE OFFICERS INVOLVED THEY RECOGNIZED ALVAREZ BUT THEY DID NOT ELABORATE ON THAT.

CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY SAYS ALVAREZ WAS FAMILIAR TO POLICE AS WELL.

POLICE SUPERINTENDENT DAVID BROWN SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ON THIS TODAY BUT HE DECLINED TO GIVE ANY INSIGHT INTO WHAT PRECEDED THIS.

WHILE C.O.P.A.

'S INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON AND THE MAYOR ISSUED ANOTHER STATEMENT THAT AGAIN REFERRED TO A MINOR INCIDENT BUT DID NOT GIVE BACKGROUND ON WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THIS.

>> AND CHICAGO POLICE SUPERINTENDENT DAVID BROWN HE DID SPEAK TO THE MEDIA AFTER THE VIDEO WAS RELEASED HERE IS WHAT SOME OF HE AND MAYOR LIGHTFOOT SAID TODAY.

>> THE SHOOTING INVOLVED A FOOT CHASE.

THE DEPARTMENT IS MAKING PROGRESS ON MY DIRECTIVE TO REVISE THE FOOT CHASE POLICY.

AS I'VE SAID BEFORE IT'S ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES THAT OFFICERS ENGAGE IN.

>> WE HOPE TO ROLE OUT AND IMPLEMENT THE FOOT PURSUIT POLICY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

>> SO TWO VIDEOS OF POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTING RELEASED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS BOTH INVOLVING FOOT CHASES.

HEATHER WHO IF ANYTHING IS HAPPENING TO CHANGE THAT FOOT PURSUIT POLICY?

>> WE ONLY HEARD WHAT WE HEARD TODAY.

WE ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT PRIVY TO THEM.

THIS IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS SENDING A MEMO TO THE DEPARTMENT POLICE OFFICERS.

THIS POLICY NOT ONLY HAS TO PASS MUSTER WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE MAYOR BUT IT ALSO HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE TEAM IMPLEMENTING THE FEDERAL COURT ORDER THAT REQUIRES THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT TO REFORM.

THAT IS ANOTHER LEVEL OF SCRUTINY THAT THIS NEW POLICY WILL HAVE TO MEET.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT ANYBODY INVOLVED OFF GUARD.

THE CITY HAS KNOWN SINCE 2017 THAT FOOT CHASES ARE DEADLY AND THAT THEY WERE ENCOURAGED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO PUT A POLICY IN PLACE.

HOWEVER NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL ADAM TOLEDO WAS KILLED.

>> CAN I JUMP IN QUICK.

I SAID SOMETHING BEFORE AND I WANT TO CLARIFY I SAID THAT C.P.D.

FOOTAGE WAS DOCTORED, DOCTORED ASSUMES SOMETHING NEFARIOUS.

IT WAS ENHANCED LET'S SAY WITH THAT ARROW, IT WAS SLOWING IT DOWN TO TRY TO PAINT THE FULL NARRATIVE OF WHAT THE POLICE OFFICER HAS SEEN.

>> FAIR POINT, THANK YOU.

>> MATT, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE OFFICER NOW?

>> FOR NOW HE REMAINS ON THE TYPICAL 30-DAY ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE THAT ALL OFFICERS ARE PLACED ON AFTER A SHOOTING.

C.O.P.A.

STILL INVESTIGATING THE SHOOTING HAS SAID THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD GO A STEP FURTHER AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE OFFICER SHOULD BE RELIEVED THE POLICE POWERS THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE INVESTIGATION.

LONGER THAN THE 30-DAY WINDOW.

C.O.P.A.

SAID THAT RECOMMENDATION WAS BASED ON INFORMATION IT OBTAINED IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THIS INVESTIGATION.

AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SUPERINTENDENT BROWN IS AWARE OF THAT RECOMMENDATION AND IS TAKING IT UNDER ADVISEMENT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SAID IF HE IS STRIPPED OF HIS POLICE POWERS.

>> WHY NOT, WHY HASN'T THAT BEEN DONE?

>> WE DON'T.

AND DAVID BROWN IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT C.O.P.A.

'S RECOMMENDATION.

AND HE HAS THE SOLE POWER TO DECIDE WHETHER THIS POLICE OFFICER SHOULD KEEP HIS POLICE POWERS AND BADGE AND WHETHER HE SHOULD RETURN TO DUTY AS SOON AS 48 HOURS FROM NOW.

TOMORROW IS ALSO THE DAY THAT THE OFFICER WHO SHOT AND KILLED ADAM TOLEDO IS SCHEDULED TO END THIS ROUTINE 30-DAY ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

SO I WILL CERTAINLY BE ASKING WHETHER THAT OFFICER WILL RETURN TO DUTY AS HE IS SCHEDULED TO DO.

>> OK.

SO SHIFTING TO STATE POLITICS.

ILLINOIS IS POISED TO LOSE ONE HOUSE SEAT IN CONGRESS WITH THE RELEASE THE CENSUS DATA.

AS LAWMAKERS IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ARE HAMMERING OUT A NEW MAP.

GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER URGES LEGISLATORS TO WORK TOGETHER TAKE A LOOK.

>> WELL, AS I'VE SAID I WILL VETO AN UNFAIR MAP.

I DO BELIEVE THAT DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS SHOULD GET TOGETHER TO ADOPT THIS MAP.

I HOPE THE REPUBLICANS WILL CHOOSE TO WORK WITH DEMOCRATS ON THE MAP RIGHT NOW.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE JUST SAYING NO.

>> SO AMANDA, DID THE GOVERNOR BREAK HIS PROMISE?

>> YES.

WHEN HE WAS A CANDIDATE HE WAS ASKED IN A SURVEY THIS IS A PROMINENT POLITICAL INSIDERS BLOG DIRECTLY ASKED THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR WHAT THEY WOULD DO IF GIVEN A MAP DRAWN BY THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERS, LEGISLATORS, ALLIES AND PRITZKER SAID YES HE WOULD VETO A MAP THAT WAS DRAWN BY LEGISLATORS.

HE HAS CHANGED HIS TUNE.

HE IS SAYING WELL THEY DID NOT PASS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO DO THAT.

BUT VERY WELL, THE POWER LIES WITHIN THE LEGISLATURE TO DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO DO THIS.

THEY COULD HAVE A BIPARTISAN PANEL YES HE IS BACKTRACKING ON HIS WORD AND I THINK WHAT HE IS DOING IS SORT OF MAKING THE CALCULUS THAT ANY BACKLASH HE WILL GET IN THE MEDIA OR FROM REPUBLICANS IS WELL WORTH IT EITHER BECAUSE OF ALLOWING DEMOCRATS TO DRAW A MAP WITHIN THEIR FAVOR HELPS OUT HIS PARTY AND BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO LEGISLATORS WHAT THAT MAP LOOKS LIKE.

HE DOES NOT WANT TO RAISE ANY IRE WITHIN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT HE WANTS TO GET THE AGENDA PASSED BEFORE HE RUNS FOR REELECTION.

>> AND THE NATIONAL ASPECT THAT GOVERNOR PRITZKER IS AWARE OF THAT REDISTRICTING GERRYMANDERING IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN RED STATES AND BLUE STATES N A STATE LIKE ILLINOIS THE MAP WILL BE MORE DISPROPORTION ALI IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRATS BUT IN STATES LIKE WISCONSIN, AND NORTH CAROLINA, AND TEXAS IT WILL BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

AND YOU HAVE THE HOUSE WHICH IS VERY -- DEMOCRATS HAVE A TENUOUS ADVANTAGE IN THE HOUSE AND A 50/50 SPLIT IN THE SENATE.

SO EVERY SEAT IN THIS REMAP COUNTS AND I'M SURE THE GOVERNOR IS AWARE OF THAT.

>> ON THE PANDEMIC FRONT, DEMAND FOR SHOTS, IS THAT SLOWING DOWN?

AND IF SO HOW ELSE IS THE CITY GETTING CREATIVE TO BOOST VACCINE PARTICIPATION?

>> IT DOES APPEAR IT'S SLOWING DOWN.

WE KNEW WE WOULD GET TO THIS POINT IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND ELSEWHERE.

THE CITY TRYING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT WITH THE VACCINE PASSPORT THAT COULD GIVE PEOPLE PERKS, BETTER SEATS IN CONCERTS, AND ALSO IT'S CALLED VAX RELAX, TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO NOT JUST ENTICE THEM WITH THE STICK, THE FEAR OF GETTING THE CORONAVIRUS AND SPREADING IT TO LOVED ONES, BUT ALSO A BIT OF A CARROT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

AND HEATHER, BRIEFLY UNITED CENTER IS CLOSING TO WALK-IN APPOINTMENTS STARTING MAY 11.

WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?

>> IT'S PART OF THE SHIFT TO MANAGING THE SURGING DEMAND THAT THE CITY COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE FOR COVID-19 VACCINES TO ENCOURAGING PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE RELUCTANT OR HESITANT TO GET THE SHOT AND TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE.

SO THAT WHOLE THING WILL CHANGE.

IT IS GOING TO BE A REGIONAL APPROACH THROUGH EACH PART OF THE CITY.

THE CITY HAS MONEY THAT IT HAS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT IS GOING TO GIVE TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.

SO THE IDEA IS YOU WON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE UNITED CENTER BUT MAYBE YOU WILL GET YOUR SHOT AT A LIBRARY OR SOMETHING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE YOU CAN TALK TO SOMEBODY ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
