heaven, but it is not justice. justice. if judge roy would be alive, a man just a very that they would have been doing, had they done sentences like this before, may be show vin would not have thought he would have gotten away with. so let us remember the people that you castigated an attack, then marched in minneapolis, then we must all over this country. they wouldn't stop and we're not going to stop . one sentence does not solve a criminal justice problem. the united states credit must show the same courage. there's jury show at home, police accountable for murder, and make them pay in the court of law maximum for murder, not a token, not a donation, but vo, accountability for the actions that you did. let us pray.

god we come to the same spot. we bowed at the beginning of the trial asking you to give this family strength and give them grace. and you brought us now to the end of this particular proceeding. they will say it is more time than any time in history, but we will say that history has been long, undeserving its citizens. and we all believe thank you for giving this family to strength to stand. well, the families didn't even get a court date. we remember gone to the day. yeah. we remember michael brown. yes. we remember jacob blake. yeah, we're still with us. we remember to me a rice on his birthday. 19 years old would have been to day. we remember brianna

taylor. they never got a court date. we did get a court date of conviction, and some time some will say that progress, i will say as malcolm x said, if you have a knife in my back, 6 inches to take out 4 inches is progress. but i still have 2 inches, a knife in my back. the knives is still in the back. as long as these unresolved cases are de, and the floyd family. and those of us in the civil rights community inactive vig community, will not stop until justice becomes on that of federal law and no longer new story. but the story that we know will probably touch that us senate just see that they must make law. so that we will not have little children, like george's daughter had to give the judge a statement about the value of

a dead. what they understand that all of your children mad. yes, black lives matter. because you made us all, and we'll be careful to be loyal. and we'll be careful to live up to the calling you placed on the line of those that sir, and careful to give your name to praise these blessings. we ask in your name a man, a man. let me bring on. now it's been a long journey and this is not the end. this is just one stop on the highway toward full justice. none has been more courageous. none has been more consistent. one has not been more unselfish than the attorney general of black america, who has stood with this family from day one came even when the cameras weren't there. and i stayed with the family and other families. let us bring before we

bring members of the family attended, van crump, thank you. thank you very much. revenue shopped and for lead in his family and as country and prayer, as we continue to struggle to make the worse of liberty and justice, fall real in america. i stand here, we're a great legal team stand and firmly with the family of george flow, and that is attorney chris stewart, an attorney jeff miller from atlanta, georgia attorney tony rahman, new jersey from chicago, illinois as an attorney. jeff storms from right here in minneapolis and at present we have the brothers of george flor for loan as flor turned flor rodney floor as well as brandon williams. we have his cousins, sharita tate and tara brown. and we know at home prayer, we have his sisters,

bridget flores, john flores, and latania flores. and certainly his beautiful daughter, chris tells me, is looking smile. i'm saying that her daddy changed the world and he will talk more about that later on. and we want to acknowledge all his family. we want to acknowledge, oh, of the people who use their boys to say his name. so i have 909. today represent from opportunity to be a turning point in america. this is the longest set of tests that a police officer has ever been sensitive to in the history of the state of

minnesota. but this should not be the exception. when a berg person is kill barbara, italy by police, it should be the norm. and so when we think about real justice, real justice would be circuit at georgia floor. we're still be here with his family . so what we got today was some measure of accountability. and we understand that there are still federal charges pending. so as his brothers and his family asked for a maximum, we are still holding out what the maximum we have to remember. well, justice in america will be black man and black women and people of color were not have the fair bit care about the police. just because the

color of the scan that will be real jester. so we think most of all the millions of americans. yeah. who ways their voice. you always there are your voices. and because you raise your voices, that is why we get that get to conviction. and that is why we got the logan centers in the state of minnesota history. so behalf of the family, we want to say thank you mary of america. who all says, until we get jeff stuff for just fine until we get accountability for a judge floor. none of us can bree weekend break, just a little easier today and we thank you for that. 6 thank you all, and i will say this week out,

accountability on the civil side of things to the leadership of the theory leaders in minnesota. we now have gotten some accountability and the criminal level, but we need accountability on the policy level. so we say to the united states senate pass the judge, justice police and mediately made it leads me to leave at this time, i gave you one of the finest attorneys and the united states of america. i have had the pleasure of being a team. a law is webinar who are 2nd to none. and each of them work tirelessly, day and night from every corner of america. working on behalf of george flores

family. and there is no way we could get to this point where we are on this journey to jeff. this was all our brothers and sisters, but viney refrigerant. madame, is sam is michelle good though. all of those got to the, all of them who are work and got madison. they allowed us to come out front to be with the family today, but they are not forget and, and i know my brother in the ball. jeff did wonderful things and louisiana went out to sterling. chris stewart appreciates each and every one of the lawyers on out thing. at this time, you're going to hear from attorney chris store, an attorney just a miller personally start by saying, roxie and giana couldn't be here, but right now,

john is actually watching. she's watching live. so let me tell you giana. you've done 2 things in this case. you started by saying, my dad, he changed the world. i want you to know you change the world. because today that statement that you gave was not just powerful, but it was perfect. you told us that his spirit is still here and people that are down and people that are looking at these monuments coming up and the statutes coming up with george was not understanding. you are understanding that his spirit is changing things. it doesn't matter who the man was, it matters who he is. now. there are conversations happening between black and white that never would have happened before about policing. there are conversations happening between senators that we are pushing and urging to stand up for what you believe in. if you believe in law and order and change, then you will pass this bill because it protects everyone. nelson mandela wants

that if you change what you believe, depending on who you're talking to, you are not fit to lead. so we're looking for leadership. we are looking for the spirit of george floyd, which is in every single person. now, we're getting off to 5 lines and realizing that if you critique policing, it doesn't mean you hate every cop. it means you want the bad cop gone. and we only will change things by leaving the sidelines and coming together in the middle. no matter what color you are, and that is the spirit of george floyd. and yes, giana has changed the world. it's been. so we've just been hearing from read, roll out reverend al sharpton, whom you see standing there and also italian civil rights activists. ben crump, and what we hear people trying to do is strike a balance between how far the debate and the conversation has come with how much further varies to go in terms of racial injustice and inequality in american society. here with me all kelly county jackson and ronald sullivan and kelly. can i

start by getting your thoughts because we heard revel. reverend al sharpton saying $22.00 and a half years is the longest sentence. it's ever been handed down. this has been described as historic sentencing, but he said it's not justice because this needs to be the norm, not the exception in a country where police officers are rarely prosecuted. i definitely agree that since we are not in a place where a police officer is going to deal as part of the norm or a part of the status quo, it is so rare that something like this happens. and so, you know, i think a lot of people are going to be trying to get their minds around this for the long term and thinking about what this means, not just for police reform, but how we might think about changes going head for everyone. this is something i'm going to be sitting with for for awhile. this sentence,

what justice will look like? what just this should look like? something we should all be thinking about. press one on sullivan. do we have to be careful how much we read into this trial because it's historic because it's, it's rand, most police officers don't get prosecuted for excessive force. actually, they don't even get disciplined. what you may mean, you must have heard this statistic, but i think between 2012 on may 2020. that would over 2 and a half 1000 misconduct complaints against minneapolis. peace officers just 12 of them resulted in discipline now that's right. and we have to be careful about the level of excitement with respect to this one case, because in most cases of police brutality, there is not a video. in most cases, the chief of police for from that department does not come to court and testify

against the officer. once again, this case was an extraordinary confluence of events. it was, in my opinion, the right result. the conviction should have happened. there was proved beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty of mister children's guilt, but it is not emblematic of what happens each and every day around the country. perhaps we're moving in that direction, but we have not moved to that space yet. so it's important that the activists who have been on the streets and protesting continuing their efforts, it's essential that the politicians continue to write bills and it's, it's critical that citizens in the united states vote for district attorneys who support their values. the local district attorney is the most

powerful criminal justice officer in any jurisdiction. so it's important that most people don't even know who their district attorney is. so it's important that these processes continue. it's important that people keep their foot on the gas pedal and keep pressing those legislative tours to make real systemic and lasting change to our police department. and what are your thoughts on that? kelly, contra jackson, because obviously we have a sentencing now of 22 and a half years and obviously a guilty verdict in the case of george floyd. but the problem is that of course, as, as the judge pointed out, it's about the case of an individual. this verdict in sentencing of derek. jovan does nothing to address systemic policing issues in the city of minneapolis and elsewhere. you know, i couldn't agree more with all that has been said that this is going to require

activism at all levels. i think you can do the greatest amount of, of change with your vote and with your voice. so i think the people are going to have to keep their foot to the pedal as, as, as what was just said, you know, this can not be the end of that. if anything, this is the beginning of how people can think about how change might go going forward. but know this is, this is a beginning, this is not. and what i really hope is that this is not just an exception, but it becomes the rule that all police officers will have themselves held accountable. i have to have to address the grievances in the harm that they have cause and then work to now cause it ronald sullivan. i'm looking at a tweet here from bon crump, who just hearing from earlier in the he says that it describes it as a historic sentence, bringing the floyd family in our nation, one step close at the healing by delivering closure and accountability. these are

very powerful buzzwords. that will resonate with many people. the fact that this is the longest sentence that ever been handed down. it could it actually does it show that the, the legal system is functioning well and it's doing what it's supposed to do. and therefore, it could become an obstacle to reform. could it backfire in some way, way? well, let's hope not. i certainly understand the point and the thrust of the question that people might think, oh my goodness, we have now arrived because toby was sentenced to 22 and a half years the most ever for an officer in minnesota. so i think it's important for people that have the pulpit, people that have the microphone to remind folks that this is one case in one jurisdiction. what we hope with cases like this is that it promotes a value that lawyer is called general deterrent. that's one of the goals of

sentencing and the american criminal justice sentence general deterrent. which means that it will dis, incentivize other officers from behaving an inappropriate ways, because they don't want to be sentenced to 20 plus years in prison. so it's important for people to realize that as historic, as this may be, it is as professor jackson just said, it's the beginning, not an in that should be an exemplar of how the criminal justice system can work in other places. but it's not what i have just hearing from the family of george floyd now. lottie, most of going to my here right now, but i just find it profound that i felt that i big for justice for my brother, some type of accountability, the treatment that i thought that everybody should receive is just

life. you know, you can get that back, we all live together in this world. and we all want to be able to work together in this world. you have good police offices and you have bad ones. the fact that you shouldn't have thought them out. the community that i grew up in, it was a lot of african american people. but the fact that minnesota has a great a modem, caucasian people, i still think that everybody should be the same. everybody should be neutral. everybody want to make a difference and make sure that people, when they come to minnesota, they don't think about george floyd. they should be able to think about how great minnesota we are not thinking about for land casteel. you know, if his mother is still fight thing about dante right. many

families. i had the console. you think about anthony mclean. he was que all these people was shot in the back. most of the fact that i'm here and i'm still standing. and a year later, i'm still speaking and i'm speaking out times a hard i have a family, we wake up every day and we don't see my brother in the threes all around the house . he would have been in the fact that giana would grow up, knowing that her father had made a difference in the world. but the fact that she can not have a sweet 16, she could not have him while cut down. oh, she would not be able to have prom with the dad to dance. this is not something realistic. this is something is like a dream, but we all need to stand up for what is right. all right,

all of these activists and all these advocates, i thank you all. definitely i thank you all because if you out and speak out, we wouldn't had a lot of help. but the fact that the world you got to think about japan, you have to think about germany. you have to thank united nations. you have to think of italy. i have so many different people. i spoke to africa all around the world and they all think the same way. your skin color should not define who you are. is it never be a weapon. and the fact that we're here standing today, still breathing with steel fight ribbon, i always say a key fight and, and that's something i can stop. i want to tell ms. carr, i love, you know, is all it that's air. go on his moms. i want to tell brianna taylor, mom, i love you, pamela. i know it's all it. i want to tell pamela turner at bay town,

texas. yeah. this is, this is not okay. what daughter is walking around? and i know she's in tears everyday thing about a mother. a mother was killed in point blank range, multiple times. so many different people all around the world who didn't even have this type of technology. i just want to reiterate, not just black lives matter of our lives matter. we need to stand up and fight. can get comfortable. because when you get comfortable, people forget about judgment. so the legend was still live, old. george is not here, but his spirit lives. brianna taylor is not here, but the spirit of aragon is not his spirit still right here, but the fact that we'll fight that won't all you out to stand up and fight. thank you so much. and there

is we're going to have another brother, jo large who came all the way from new york and brooklyn, brooklyn new york in the house. and as we do so, there's not last on us as a turn, a store to turn around the new gym talk. it's always a journey to jeff this. tony told me the qual, mcdonna, who was bound gear. his kayla, the police officer killed him shy and 14 tabs in the back on video. fixing tabs in the back on video. and he was convicted in a 2nd degree murder, and he was only sentenced to 6 years. both them joan, who and dallas texas was killed in an apartment. right. the white police. aw, man, amber geiger, was found guilty of 1st degree murder, reverend. and she was all they sent it to 10 years. and jeff miller

was at walter scott, if south carolina same can bear can shout in the back. oh, video convicted 20 years. so each step, each case we keep making progress. we came to far term. now we have to keep going forward. and so that's where all the energy we have in the court room. we have to take the capital and we have to join some of the core booker, we have the joy congresswoman, karen bass. phillip, the tim scott, we got to say you all we need meaning for police report, so we don't have to put up with these. and jeff, this is seem like rubber now. every other week, there's a new aspect. we can stop this america. we had to turn and point turn

floss, brooklyn new york. yes, they change me. i say ha, that's right. just like i heard, i said change altogether. that's how we going to keep the change going together. fight, keep fighting. the way we got here is because of our flight flight together. yeah, i hate to st. we think we are and we just, we just, i'm overwhelmed. i'm overwhelmed cuz i'm gonna tell you a quick story. i had a dream. another night. i was in a field, i was in a fill in the south of my family and i saw a look back and i saw a man, i saw me coming up walking walking and i'm trying to figure out who is that who is that a look. i gets closer all the share and i see the car to the sound like this. anybody know me know that is my father. so he got close to me and he gave me

a smile and he gave me a hug. i woke up that dream was so real. i woke up hugging myself. so i knew i was a little leery about the, about the city. but because of that, i know that my father was saying you good. he's good to do what you're doing for me for your brother, for your name, because we floyd strong. we want to stay strong. thank you for. thank you. next we will hear from the nephew of george floor who's like a brother like a thin in many regards to brandon williams. is

funny that we got justice but not enough justice to know. i remember standing here the 1st child is very safe spot and we were very optimistic and not sure what was going to happen. at this in a video, we should have been a 100 percent sure. that we will be at a guilty provision with a maximum saying that when you think about george being murdered, we've been bringing you live coverage of the sentencing of former police offset derek show than convicted of murdering george floyd. judge peter call a sentencing show of into 22 and a half years in prison. now the prosecution had been pushing for up to 30 years. it has been described as a star extend has the longest sentence ever handed down. but as you could hear from the comments you've been hearing from civil rights activists been crum, reverend al sharpton, and then just data family of george for just

a little bit earlier. the sense is that there is still other cases to consider and there is still a way to go when it comes to racial inequality, police and injustice in american society. more on that in the news, i'll see you in a couple of minutes. ah, ah ah, for some a little boat is a mechanical or even that self driving train of the apple. but androids today can be over the humanoid. robots, like me, will be everywhere. al jazeera documentaries. next lead on the weird and wonderful world of robot that learn think field and even trust. i feel like i'm alive. but i

know i am a machine origins of this species on 20 with energy and change to every part of our universe. or small to continue the change all around the shape by technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. a rule which produced one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world's. they will take shots even when they should not. and i believe that sometimes what the saudis had been doing this story behind the deadly attack by the saudi led coalition forces on

a school bus in yemen, which killed 40 children yemen. the soda bus bombing on al jazeera ah, holding the powerful to account as we examine the us, his role in the world on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i am. i am no longer with the news. our life from london coming up in the next 60 minutes. this is based on your abuse of a position of trust and authority. and also the particular cruelty shown to george floyd, ex police officer derek show. ben is sentenced to $22.00 and a half years in jail for the murder of.
