| 0:00.0 | The last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now. Hey, Lawrence. |
| 0:04.6 | Hey, thanks, Jen. We have Professor Timothy Snyder joining us tonight. I've been wanting to hear from him about the situation we are now living through. |
| 0:13.2 | And he has an important new piece in the Boston Globe where he outlines what he calls for Donald Trump the political logic of Donald Trump's lawlessness. And he finds |
| 0:26.2 | historical parallels in other authoritarian. Really important stuff. We're going to get to that |
| 0:31.5 | tonight. Oh, well, look for, I can't speed read it. So I'm going to listen first, and then I'm going to |

| 1:33.7 | body lying face down in the pavement, completely unthreatening to anyone. |
| 1:40.8 | There is no evidence in any of the videos that the first shot fired at Alex Prattie from inches away from his body was justified. |
| 1:52.6 | No evidence justifying even the first shot. |
| 1:56.3 | And it's very likely that that shot fired at such close range killed Alex Prettie. And what is also very |
| 2:04.3 | clear in the videos about that for a shot is that one of the agents had already removed Alex |
| 2:11.4 | Prettty's licensed handgun from Alex Prattie's right hip, a handgun that Alex Pretti never touched during the incident. |
