Discussed Today, In Detail:

'This is the moment': Inside the push to defund the police after Floyd killing
There is a nationwide debate over defunding the police as protesters across the
country want action after George Floyd's killing. The Minneapolis City Council
has voted to dismantle its police force and New York City's mayor De Blasio vows
to cut funding from the NYPD. But, Joe Biden is against it and top democrats are
not endorsing it. New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousin
and Former Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson join MSNBC's
Stephanie Ruhle.

How Colin Kaepernick started a national movement years before Floyd's death
President Trump warning NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell players would be
"disrespecting" the country if they kneel during the national anthem in protest
to police brutality. The warning comes after Goodell admits he was "wrong" on
the protests. MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle reports on how Colin Kaepernick came up
with the idea to kneel and gets reaction from former NFL player Donte Stallworth
who says the NFL “had an opportunity” to defend its players before, but “instead
chose to stand with the President of the United States against its own players.”
As Goodell now admits he was “wrong,” Stallworth says “words are good start” and
hopes the league will now “shield the players from the President.”
