of course cnn is going to stay on this story. there is so much to learn and reality yet to be revealed. thank you for watching, our segment of the coverage, it is now time for "don lemon tonight," i can tell you this, i got the privilege of walking that site. i saw the efforts myself and there are a lot of people there working very hard and very challenging circumstances and they are all of one heart and sense of purpose. the conditions are getting worse, don. the smoke is thicker and accurate. they're advising that we need to have massing on this far out.
10:03 pm
i showed the video at the top of what they are dealing with. it is a two-front fire that's burning inside the building and underneath the ground of the collapse. it is very hard. the work is going to be slow. there is a tremendous sense of duty and hope with the people there and this community needs, there is so much pain and so many people putting their arms around one another as can only happen in crisis, we are hoping in the worse of situations, we see the best of the people here and there are some miracles to come. >> the most important word you just said is hope. you and i both been on scenes where people have been trapped and beneath the rubble, everyone said you know we don't know what's going to happen. they thought maybe they were lost and they found lives be. >> that rubble. we are certainly holding onto hope. chris, i have been watching your coverage throughout the day, you are doing a great job. we thank you for that and we'll continue with the breaking news and other news of the day.
10:04 pm
you be safe and we'll see you soon. >> so this is "don lemon tonight," thank you for joining us. a big news tonight with multiple huge stories. we have a lot more on the breaking news as the search and rescue mission in surfside continues. as you heard chris says there is a lot to deal there. we want to continue to hold out hope for folks who may be beneath the rubble and waiting to b rescued. 45 hours after the building suddenly collapsed while hundreds of people are sleeping. four people confirmed dead as of this hour. 159 unaccounted for. we don't know for sure whether all of them were in the biluildg at the time. we have more live from the scene coming up. this is also the day people in this country and around the world were waiting to see.
10:05 pm
i have got to be honest, people were waiting for this day to see what's going to happen. t the sentencing of ex-police officer convicted of george floyd's death. that's the longest sentence. ten years addition to. this is based on your abusive of position in authority and particularly krcruelty shown to george floyd. i want to quote from the judge now in this case, judge cahill writing in his sentencing order.
10:06 pm
"here mr. chauvin, treated with mr. floyd without respect and denied him the dignity owed to all human beings and which he would certainly extended to a friend or neighbor." the president of the united states, joe biden says this. >> i don't know all the circumstances. >> let us remember exactly what happened on may 25th, 2020. chauvin kneeling on george floyd's neck for an excruciating 9 minutes and 29 seconds. lily squeezing the life out of him while he begged for his mother and cried out "i can't breathe." his murder prompting people to the treats demanding justice. more than a year later, keith
10:07 pm
ellison calling on congress to act now. >> i call on leaders and members of congress to pass the best and strongest version of this bill can be passed and pass it now. looif lo lives are depending on it. >> republicans refused to debate for the people act to protect voting rights. doj announces it is suing georgia over its assault on the vote. making it a crime to give food or waters to voters waiting o online. i want to get to the sentencing of derek chauvin. joining me now is neal kataja,
10:08 pm
it is good too see you. derek chauvin got 22.5 years. are you satisfied with this result? >> el i don't know control sentences are not things supposed to bring someone satisfaction. it is about the judicious altercation of the law. it is one o f the longest police officers ever received for law enforcement. that's important. it is far above what the minnesota sensing guidelines say and it does set a new standard. 13 months ago today, george floyd was murdersed. the sentence is not going to bring him back. you and i have talked in the
10:09 pm
past and even before of floyd's stuff of nation's history here and how sad it has been that people don't get any justice at all, the victims. >> this is a start today. it is only a start. neal, i want to talk more with you but i want to play what we heard from judge cahill. it is not the appropriate time. i am not basing my sentence on opinion. i am not basing it on any attempt to send any messages. a proud court judge, the judge of a trial court judge is to apply the law to specific vax and the deal with individual
10:10 pm
cases. >> judge cahill was not sending a message. seeing a message like this is really not a norm. what message does it send? >> we are not used to convictions like this. this is a real fork in the road for our history. the fact this case is brought at all -- the fact that these charges include murder. historic. officer after officer testifying how wrong this was. again, historic. i understand the judge is here to apply the laws to the facts. the area where you get to do this stuff and this epidemic of
10:11 pm
violence that plagued the african-american community. it is a start. by using a epidemic, it is not like covid, it is not something that's new. you have been better on this than anyone on a network and we talk about this way, way back. >> today is a start. >> i was watching the sentence being handsed down today. my immediate thought was okay, time served for 50 behaviors. i know there is federal charges that's going to impact the sentence, am i right? how is that going to impact the senate and what are we saying here? >> absolutely there is a further prosecution that's been sin single-
10:12 pm
single-announced. >> so today is just one of two different proceedings and derek chauvin is going to face. i don't want basically, i don't want to say anything about that precisely but i will say the normal sentence here would have been 15 years top for second degree murder for for someone who has zero deliver defense history. what judge cahill did was no, this is an acc aggravated sentence. we got for go beyond that because of the crime. >> the position of trust in the light. >> yeah. listen, chauvin is not alone, three other officers facing charges here. charges are expected to be tried together in 2022. will it be challenging to get a conviction in their case, neo?
10:13 pm
>> special prosecutors in those two. i am not going to spent on whether it is harder or easier. we are gearing up for that. our attorney general keith edison son, we won't rest until justice is done. >> as i say the police impunity is over at this point. we seawall saw that video. we know what happened and we stand ready to indicate the people's wishes. >> well, such a good question, don, today is great. t there is a victory and the conviction is very important. these cases are incredibly hard. they are huge and resource.
10:14 pm
we'll go into the prosecution of the next three. what i learn from this process, more than anything and kind of read about it on the outside. >> it is criminal prosecutions are at best, a week. the real thing to do is prevent the violence before it happens. that's why the george floyd is so important. you got to do the things in police department up front so you don't have tease incidents and episodes happening later on. these bills are pending in congress right now and there is no excuse. neal, i am so grateful that you can join us. you are the perfect person to
