the right. peace on the left, justice on the right. you will know here from this brother who traveled with us, who has to endure watching his black brother die at the hands of a corrupt police. let us respect him as he speaks at this time. please, let us hear by the sound of the round of applause, the brother of george floyd. [ clapping ]

>> let us hear from him. >> first of all, first of all -- i understand y'all -- so if i'm not over here messing up my

community, what are you all doing? y'all doing nothing. because that's not going to bring my brother back at all. it may feel good for the moment, just like when you drink, but when you come down, you're going to wonder what you did. my family is a peaceful family. my family is god fearing. yeah, we upset, but we're not going to take it. we're not going to be repetitious. in every case of police brutality, the same thing has

been happening. y'all protest, y'all destroy stuff, and if they don't move, you know why? because it's not their stuff, it's our stuff. so they want us to destroy our stuff. they're not going to move. so let's do this another way. let's do this another way. let's do this another way. let's stop thinking our voice don't matter, and vote. not just the president, but preliminaries, vote for everybody. educate yourself, educate yourself. don't wait for somebody else to tell you who's who.

educate yourself and know who you're voting for. and that's how we're going to help, because it's a lot of us. it's a lot of us. it's a lot of us! and we still go through this peacefully. because that's how we're going to get them, fool them. they think we're going to do something, and we're going to switch it on them. let's switch it up, y'all. let's switch it up. do this peacefully. plea please. moved here from houston. he loved it, started driving trucks. he was good.

he sa i highly doubt, no, i know he would not want y'all to be doing this. and i'm not saying -- relax. like reverend said, peace on the left, justice on the right. peace on the left. justice on the right.

peace on the left. justice on the right. that's what i want to see. peace on the left. >> justice on the right. >> peace on the left. >> justice on the right. >> peace on the left. >> justice on the right. >> that's what i'm talking about. >> thank you. thank you for the love, thank you for the flowers, thank you for the memorials. thank you. now before i go, i just want to hear this again. what's his name? >> george floyd. >> what's his name?

>> george floyd! >> george! >> floyd! >> george! >> floyd! >> one down! >> three to go! >> one down! >> three to go! >> one down! >> three to go! >> minnesota stand up. >> fist up for joy! fist up for george! fist up for george! >> thank you for blessing us with your presence.

with your strength. your courage. making yourself vulnerable. thank you. thank you. would never forgive my man coming up to the stand and his knees buckle. at the brother's grave site. to say he wants peace is tremendous. it's tremendous. and it takes a lot to say those words out of his own mouth. give it up for him, give it up for george! no justice! >> no peace! prosecute the police! >> no justice, no peace, prosecute the police! no justice, no peace, prosecute the police! no justice, no peace, prosecute the police!

>> one more thing i want to say, to this town, everybody showing love to my brother. i know this is about my brother but i want to say something. i went to school, i knew better in all these other cases that's going on. you see the protesting. you see everything, but then after a while, they're out of the scenes. nobody saying nothing. this is what i've been saying to people on facebook, instagram, i've been saying this. keep my brother's name ringing! keep my brother's name ringing! keep my brother's name ringing!

keep my brother's name ringing! keep my brother's name ringing! what's his name? >> george floyd! >> one, two, three. >> george floyd! >> thank you. >> when you talk about sean bell, when you talk about eric garner, we have with us the lawyer who has been on the front lines across this country dealing with this. let us welcome attorney sanford

reub reuben reub reubenstein. >> the only way we're going to stop the violence by police is the suffering in these families when they lose a loved one to death at the hands of the police is to put them in jail. the police officer who was the primary responsible one, but all of them who were involved in his death. but just as important is to stop the assaults by police officers which go without punishment. on innocent people which go without jail. only then will we see this terrible scourge of police brutality in this country end. no justice, no peace!

no justice, no peace! >> necessithe memorial, we ask u make a way for him. >> peace on the left, justice on the right! peace on the left, justice on the right! peace on the left, justice on the right! >> from george floyd, you have just heard from george floyd's brother. you have just heard from terrence floyd. he talked to the crowd. he was extremely emotional, sincere at the same time and he said to the crowd, what are you doing? he was talking to the protester, what are you doing? we are a peaceful family. we are a prayerful family. and we are a family that wants to see this neighborhood do well. stop looting, stop the violence,

stop messing up the neighborhoods. what we want from you is we want you to keep his name out there. keep it hanging, keep it ringing, as terrence floyd said and that's what people here have been doing. i can tell you, the people here have been keeping it peaceful. this neighborhood is considered sacred ground. there's no damage here, and he said this is what we are, and we don't want to see violence, but we do want to see justice. so you hear him saying, peace on the left, but justice on the right, and to them, the other three officers in their mind should be charged in this case, and he made that very, very clear, but before doing all that, you saw this live, brianna, on your show, he walked up here and broke down in front of the mural that was made to his brother and then he went to the spot where the officer, derek chauvin, was shown putting his knee in his neck for more than 7 minutes and broke down there and got on his knee and he

prayed and so did the entire crowd and that's what you see right here, a powerful moment from this neighborhood, and for the nation, but most of all, for the floyd family, brianna? >> i think it was an important message to hear directly from the family. vote, educate yourself, that's how we're going to hit them. there's a lot of us, and his activist, his friend who's an activist saying, you cannot come before the victims, meaning the floyd family. he said the family has called for peace, so he basically implored people -- >> reporter: to come before us. he didn't condone it. >> yes, and terrence floyd saying, it may feel good for a moment, but you're going to wonder what you did after the fact. he's speaking directly to folks who could be polluting the

message, right? polluting the communication of pain and frustration. >> reporter: brianna, it's not just polluting the message, it's also breaking down the neighborhood. so where is your mom and your grandma and your dad and gran dad and uncles and aunts going to go shopping now? he's clear that you're busting up your own space, your own city. where you going to go? how are you going to live without all the resources that are available if you trash them? we've heard that over and over from community activists, but again, they understand the anger. they do. they understand why people are lashing out, but they don't like the method. they want a method that is different, but what the method he recommended was to do one thing. vote. and not just for the president, not the higher ups, vote in your local areas. vote in your town. vote in your county. vote in your neighborhood. vote for your people that you feel are going to bring good

things to your neighborhood to help it grow and prosper. it was an incredible message, but clearly, he's speaking to those who have been destructive saying, stop it. not in our name. brianna? >> not in george floyd's name, as he said. his brother moved there from houston. he loved it there and he would not have wanted folks to damage that community. sara sidner, thank you to you and your cameraman for bringing this moment to us. here with me now to discuss this, really, i think an extraordinary moment with terrence floyd, the brother of george floyd, martin luther king jr. iii, eldest son of martin luther king, civil rights and global human rights leader in his own right. you heard this powerful moment. terrence floyd visiting the the si site of his brother's death and pleading for peaceful protests. what did you think, watching

this? >> number one, let me say that i cannot send enough condolences out to the family of george floyd, but terrence floyd certainly established the tone and the message the nation needs to hear that if you are protesting in a violent way for what has happened, then that is against what the family wants. and it's my hope that message is reverberated throughout our nation. people need to mobilize and vote in this upcoming election and really, throughout, that was a very powerful message for a man to give who has just recently

lost his brother through a senseless, an unforgivable, it's forgivable but an act we would not expect to see. not over and over again. i just hope that our nation is listening to what this young man said. >> do you think that they'll listen, martin? >> i can only hope that people are listening. i do believe that a large number of people already listened. we look at baltimore where, the other day, they had a peaceful protest, you look at orlando, we look at flint, michigan, just to name a few. and there have been peaceful

protests taking place throughout many of the communities. the violence seems to come out at nighttime, a darkness is what maybe creates the climate for things to do things and hide their hands. it's not clear in chaos who's actually doing the violence but i hope and pray that people are listening for mr. floyd. mr. floyd shared a powerful message, when our nation is beyond crying, we're pleading with lawmakers, and i think one of the things i am aware of, as congressman johnson here, has presented legislation to address the issue of police misconduct and violence, and while it may pass on the house side, it would certainly fall on deaf ears in the united states senate.

that further reiterates the fact pee people have to vote in vast numbers. there are changes that should be made no eleto elect new leaders not just the federal level but all levels. no one could have given us a more important message at this time, that than what mr. floyd did. >> i wonder if you could shed light on the floyd family and what they're navigating at this time where this is such a deeply personal loss to them, obviously, their brother, their son is gone and yet the significance of the loss of george floyd, so many other black americans who have died at the hands of police and have not

seen justice and even justice is not going to bring them back to life. can you shed light on that experience for them and as you watch them navigate this so gracefully? >> yes, i would first have to say that this is a prayer vigil, and that's essentially where it starts. we purport to be a nation founded on certain values and principles. what i think currently has to happen is the institutions as well as institutional racism have to be addressed in our society. changes must be made, the hope

would be the changes are made immediately but this is a process and it doesn't happen overnight, although these tragedies have been occurring for years and years. 50 years, my father was demonstrating with sanitation workers over 50 years and they had signs saying, black lives today have size 52 -- signs 52 years later saying, black lives matter. black people, older people, hispanics, others joined because they see this injustice that exists in this country, and people are not just crying out. people are saying, change must occur now. i only hope our elected officials' ears are open and eyes are open and that movement takes place right away. the time is now. there's nothing more powerful in all the world than an idea whose time is come, and quite frankly,

when we talk about treating a person with humanity, as a human being, we have lost our humanity in some of our police departments. we've lost our humanity when we as americans can sit and watch policemen suck the life out of human beings. there are ways to apprehend suspects, it used to be done, without killing a person. i have to explain this to our 12-year-old daughter who in her own sense has a heart to change our nation for the better of all of god's children. and it's very difficult and why this is happening 52 years after her grandfather was killed. and about the 14 years after her

grandmother died u they devoted their lives to the struggle for human rights and yet, we're still not being treated human. that can change overnight and i would implore american corporations to join and not just create statements but create policies that help to create change, and i would venture to say that if corporate america is not willing to take a stand, the people have taken a stand, we need businesses to take stands as well, to stand with the people. even a sheriff in flint, michigan, has taken a stand. it's time for corporations to say, enough is enough, this is wrong. we are better than this and we can change this. >> thank you so much, sir, for your voice so important on this. we appreciate you joining us

today. >> thank you. some breaking news out of the white house. president trump urging america's governors to use the national guard to, quote, dominate protests. we'll have more on that next. it's been 75 years since your ancestors served in world war two. many of their stories remain untold. find and honor the veterans in your family. their stories live on at ancestry.

you get the freedom of what a 7-day return policy. this isn't some dealership test drive around the block. it's better. this is seven days to put your carvana car to the test and see if it fits your life. load it up with a week's worth of groceries. take the kiddos out for ice cream. check that it has enough wiggle room in your garage. you get the time to make sure you love it.

we're following breaking news at the white house where the president is putting new pressure on many of the nation's governors, especially in blue states, telling them on a call that most of them are, quote, weak in their handling of protests. states have made more than 4,000 arrests, 40 of them have enacted curfews, 33 states activated national guard. still the president urge

governors to use more force, include using the national guard to police america cities. >> it's so bad a few nights ago, that the people wouldn't have minded an occupying force. i wish we had an occupying force in there. but for some reason, i don't know what it is, governors don't like calling up the guard. 1 350,000 plus in the national guard, and nobody wants to use them and their cities are ransacked and they're disgraced the world. what happened in los angeles, with the, philadelphia, and new york was a disaster. i don't understand what happened to new york's finest. >> also tried to shame minnesota for its initial response to the protests. >> what happened in the state of minnesota, they were a laughing stock all over the world. they took over the police department, the police were running down the streets, silence -- it was on camera and

then they wiped out, probably have to build a new one, but i've never seen anything like it and the whole world was laughing. >> jim acosta joining me now. i'm struck, it's an abdication of leadership. these kind of comments are more becoming of someone yelling in lafayette park than they are of the president speaking from the white house. >> reporter: that's right, brianna. and you know, the president was clearly lashing out at these governors. he's not happy with what he's seeing on national television playing over the last several days, almost non-stop. but his critics pointing out he's talking tough in the phone call with the governors but yet in the bunker on friday night as a safety precaution. obviously, some of the things that the president said on the call are outrageous, but he capitalizes on using that kind of rhetoric in these type of moments just to run through some

of these comments, the white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany saying on the call, the president said you have to dominate or you'll look like a bunch of jerks. the only time these protests are successful is when you're weak and most of you are weak is what the president said to these governors and the whole world was laughing at minneapolis over its police station being burned, and that the state of minnesota was a laughing stock all over the world. now, the governor of minnesota, tim walz, took issue with that in the news conference at the conclusion of the phone call the president had with the governors and here's what governor walz had to say. >> saying the world was laughing at the states who aren't taking action, i said, no one's laughing here. we're in pain. we're crying. we saw a man lose his life in front of them, and our challenge is that this is about social trust, social compact and reestablishing faith in the feel who are there to serve them and i also shared with the president that a posture of a force on the

ground is unsustainable militarily, but also unsustainable socially because it's the antithesis of how we live. >> so you have the president on the phone call essentially telling the governor they have to go out and crack some skulls and then other governors on the phone calls saying that force alone is not going to solve this problem. governor jamie pritzker took issue with the president on the phone call and put this quote up on screen. he said he was having problems with the president's rhetoric. i've been extraordinarily concerned with the rhetoric coming out of the white house making it worse. people are feeling real pain out there. we have to have national leadership in calling for calm. at least one governor on the phone call confronting the president when it comes to his rhetoric that he's used the last several days. the question at the white house is whether or not the president is going to have some sort of oval office address to the

nation, some sort of address to the nation. we're told the president is the intere -- interested in that idea but the plan hasn't come to shape yet. there are advisers to the president inside the white house and outside the white house who have taken issue with the president's rhetoric, telling us they don't feel that what the president has been saying over the last several days has been very helpful but kayleigh mcenany, the press conference just a few moments ago asked about the speech and a speech doesn't stop anarchy and the president has made some comments about all of this over the last couple of days, for example, at the space launch in florida. doesn't sound like they're leaning in the direction of the speech but it's 2:00 in the afternoon, we can hear the protests on the streets of washington, the day is young, brianna. >> it's hard to imagine, and i wonder what their consideration is here, and this actually speaks, you know, as the president talks about strength, maybe this speaks to a weakness he has in this situation, it's

hard to imagine his having an address, doing anything other than either not doing anything to the situation or making it worse, jim. >> reporter: that's right. what we've seen so far is the president throwing gasoline on the fire, referring to the protesters last week as thugs talking about when the looting starts, the shooting starts. i've been out there on the streets just a bit here and there, brianna. you talk to some of the demonstrators out there, they're very aware of what the president is saying and many of them are disgusted by the president's comments. you can put the president on a teleprompter and give him a script to read but if he goes off script or says something to exacerbate the situation, there are people out on the streets paying very close attention to what they're hearing from the president and they're not happy about it by and large. there's the real risk the

president could make matters worse, no question about it. brianna? >> this discussion of force in the name of force is the origin of this giant conflagration at this time in our country. thank you, jim acosta, at the white house. two law enforcement officials sympathetic to the protesters' message join me live. how they think policing in america should change. growing concern about coronavirus cases as people gather en masse, often, without masks. you're watching cnn's special live coverage.

systemic racism is only part of the national crisis afflicting the country right now. the other is the policing of america, but both are intertwined and for centuries, shaped parts of the american landscape. some officers on the front lines of the protest are trying to change that narrative. they're joining in these demonstrations. some of them taking a knee in the sign of support and then there was this statement from white house security adviser robert o'brien. >> i don't think there's systemic racism. 99.9% of our law enforcement officers are great americans, but you know what? there's some bad apples in there and there are some bad cops that are racist.

>> the president's national security adviser there and join me, sergeant paul kelly with the san jose police department and the police officer's association and mark of the black law enforcement alliance and retired nypd detective. i'd like to get both of your responses to what the president's national security adviser robert o'brien said there. do you agree with his remarks that there's no systemic racism in the nation's police force and there's just some bad apples? >> i think that there's no doubt that we must do a better job with our communities of color. it takes trust, and you can't have that trust without good cops calling out bad cops, and that's what's happened because we came out and other association leaders across the

nation. very quickly condemning the actions of these officers. >> mark? >> i think it's quite clear that the national security adviser is in a large state of denial. he is ignorant of history, he is unaware of the current condition that black and brown communities find themselves in as it relates to law enforcement within their communities. he is in denial about the existence of the institutional racism and the threat that it is, that it represents to black and brown communities across the board. and it's that type of thinking and belief structure that prevents positive movement forward it's that type of thinking and belief that will always resist reform and improvement and it's dangerous and result in further tragedies

moving forward, because we can't allow those people on the highest levels of office to be in complete denial and refuse to accept the reality that black and brown communities have been expressing for decades. >> i wonder, sergeant kelly, moving forward, what do you think are changes that police departments need to make? do you see any cultural changes that they need to address and how do you think they should go about doing that? >> well, i can tell you that we have the wrong people at the table. we continue to have attorneys, politicians, chiefs of police and we need the rank and file to sit at that table, to make quick, concrete steps. you had an nba hall of famer on

your network, kareem abdul-jabar and he brought rodney king in that issue and he said, there hasn't been change for 30 years and i thought to myself, i may not complete agree with that, but if he feels that way and families feel that way, and our communities of color feel that way, that's a strong statement that we have to accept and get to the table, the right people at the table, rank and file, the leaders of the associations across america, and fix whatever problems, policies, jobs, education, it's all intertwined, but you have the wrong people at the table the whole time. >> i wonder what your reaction to that is about getting the rank and file at the table, but also that sentiment that things haven't changed. >> yeah, well, things haven't

changed for 30, 40, 50 years. the enforcement model seems to be stagnant, and that is for a heavy handed overmilitarized, pushed away from community relations and enforcement. that's been current for the last 30 years at least but if you really want to change the situation where you have black and brown people killed by criminal conduct, then what you have to do is prosecute the criminal, and so many times, that is the police officer, until police officers are arrested, prosecuted, convicted and spend time in jail, you'll have minimal incremental changes but not significant enough to shift away from the culture, the very culture of law enforcement which has been corrupted and is fed, has fed the prison

pipeline, so to speak. and listen, it's an obvious answer and the solution is, you have to of course, communicate what what's, practice of the institutional racism. >> sergeant? >> yeah, i would agree with some of what he said. he's talking about bringing the right people to the table as well. those four officers in minneapolis don't represent the american police officer. it's contrary to everything we're taught. every incident in officer encounters should be handled with the reverence for life. >> but sergeant, can i just, don't they represent some of them? i mean, we've seen videos over and over, and maybe it's certainly not all police officers, but it's enough because we see videos of it

that, but there's a problem. there's a pattern over and over that we're seeing that is prevalent and needs to be addressed. >> you know, i would say that if there's something you see visibly with your own eyes like we did in george floyd's case, that you do need to speak out. you do need to take that step and say something and do something and take action. there's absolutely no doubt about it that the american police officers across the nation, i would think, feels the same way. >> sergeant, thank you so much. mark, we really appreciate you being with us as well. thank you to you both for that conversation. some huge crowds from coast to coast protesting in the streets but there's worry that demonstrations could lead to a spike in coronavirus cases. my gums are irritated.

it is june 1st and the u.s. still has the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world. the u.s. approaching 2 million cases and 104,000 deaths. despite the numbers many cities across the country are reopening to some extent today. nick watt is in los angeles and he's joining me now. and i know there is also concern that these mass protests across the country could lead to a coronavirus surge. >> reporter: absolutely. listen, we know some in cities they are saying that perhaps these protests might complicate the already complicated process of reopening. just because our focus is elsewhere, the coronavirus is still spreading. georgia, opening bars and restaurants today. one of 23 states where new case

counts are falling. nationally, painfully slow decline in the numbers for now. as we seem to be taking social distancing less seriously and beaches, bars and elsewhere. case counts are rising in california and a couple of other western states, also in texas and across some of the southeast. as california reopens, cases have climbed 11% in just five days, another new daily high set on sunday, 3,705 new cases reported. >> we went from the worst situation on globe to actually reopening. that's where we are. we should very be proud of what we've done. just don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. >> reporter: in the race for a therapeutic to treat this, today we heard human trials will begin in new york of one of the drugs developed with the blood from

people who have recovered from covid-19. >> it is important to have a few different antibodies to test. this is the first. we we have a few more behind it entering clinical trials in the coming weeks. >> reporter: when it comes to a vaccine, dr. fauci didn't like moderna putting out a positive press release he calls premature. what we would have preferred to do is wait until we have the data from the entire phase one. a vaccine by the end of the year is aspirational but doable. florida keys reopen after ten long weeks but miami-dade postponed its planned beach reopenings. the fear -- protesters androters across the country are now spreading this virus. >> i am deeply concerned about a superspreader type of incident. we're going to see a spike in

hi there, i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn on this monday. thank you for being with me. one week ago today the city of minneapolis and the nation were rocked after george floyd's name was added to the list of unarmed african-american men who have died while in police custody. right now we are waiting for the results of an independent autopsy. this is an autopsy commissioned by the floyd family after a medical examiner found that underlying conditions and police restraint, not asphyxia likely contributed to the death. the final moments were captured in the horrific eight-minute long video in which several officers kneeled on his body, one on his neck. that officer, derek chauvin now charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. charges against the other three officers have yet t
