and particularly brooklyn new york where the largest of the gatherings is 8:00 p.m. eastern time, everyone is supposed to be off the streets. they are more focused on maintaining the peace while sending a powerful message to the world. ♪ >> dana: hello everyone, i'm dana perino along with greg gutfeld, juan williams, katie pavlich. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." ♪ right now you are looking alive at more mass protests underway over the death of george lloyd and it was an emotional day for george lloyd's family with two memoriaservice is being held, on minneapolis and the other in new york city. family, friends, political leaders gathering to pay their respects. on the ground in minneapolis with the latest. steve?

>> there were about 1,000 people inside the hall here, many of them invited guests, friends and family but several more outside and media really from around the world lining the sidewalks out in front. this has become an international story over the past ten days. it was a real mix of emotions, at one point it seemed like a funeral, at other points it seemed like a political rally here. probably the emotional high point came from the eulogy given by reverend al sharpton who reminded the crowd that the last dying words of george lloyd were those of the call out to his mother. reverend sharpton said he was stunned to learn that george lloyd's mother had already passed away. here is reverend sharpton. >> you know, i was thinking, maybe he was calling his mother because at the point that he was dying his mother was stretching her hands out. saying come on, george. i'll welcome you where the wicked will cease from

traveling. where the weary will be at rest. there's a place where police don't put knees on you, george. >> the mood here in minneapolis has swung up and down, we saw 4-5 days of some heavy violence and fires, the national guard come in and over the past 48 hours a real shift, a real calming especially with the arrest of the other three officers who were involved in the arrest of george floyd who made their first court appearance today. also the increase of the charge to second-degree murder. all four could face maximum prison terms now at this point of up to 40 years. this memorial, this funeral isn't over yet, it goes from here to north carolina and on to houston for a burial on monday. dana, back to you. >> dana: steve harrigan, thank you. laura ingle joins us from brooklyn new york with the latest on the memorial and the protests there. laura? >> hi, dana.

it was certainly a massive turn out here in brooklyn to honor george lloyd and you know, this field here behind me was absolutely packed. right now we are hearing estimates of about 5,000 people who were here, people as far as you can see, i want you to take a look at some of the video we shot earlier today. it was here and again, city leaders, clergy, and family members spoke in front of this huge crowd. a somewhat awkward moment came when new york city mayor bill de blasio took the podium and was loudly booed after his wife, the city's first lady asked the crowd to give him the same respect they gave her. instead they continued to boo and chanted the word "resigned." the crowd paid close attention once george lloyd's brother took the stage, telling the gathering that he is proud of the protests he's seen but he is not proud of the destruction. and he said that message twice to make his point and he said it slow, adding that his brother was "not about that."

once the service was over the crowd moved together as one and marched across the brooklyn bridge to manhattan. then of course what we are going to see her tonight are the protesters marching through the streets that we've seen go on all week, the curfew remains at 8:00 p.m. last night there were over 180 arrests, mostly people breaking curfew but we will have to see what happens again tonight, there were maybe less people out on the street, there were some problems with the nypd mainly in the city and of course the incident we had here in brooklyn where two police officers were shot, one stabbed about their not sure, the nypd is not sure if that was related to the george lloyd protests. so on we go waiting for nightfall and what happens after 8:00 p.m. dana? >> dana: all right, thank you, laura. we appreciate it, we will take it around the virtual table that we have during this coronavirus time. juan williams, maybe some first thoughts from you after that two

memorials today. >> juan: dana, just picking up on what we heard it from steve harrigan, i think there's been a shift towards an emphasis on the peaceful protests and a show from the memorial service in minneapolis of family values on two levels. on the first level, when you heard that family members speak they spoke about a real human being, george floyd, who died that horrible and cruel death but they emphasized his humanity, that he was a kid who grew up in poverty, they said he used to watch close in the sink, sometimes they didn't have detergent, they just used soap, they didn't have a dryer, sometimes they use the oven, they go over to grandma's if they needed some thing to eat. it was a human being, another brother there spoke about the whole idea of now the world knows george floyd and they know him as someone who is so real

that they are increasingly showing love for him and the family, that family, the floyd family is so grateful, he said, for the love from the american family in minneapolis family. so to me it was on those levels such an inspiring moment i think and such -- i'm so grateful that we moved back to the real reason that has spurred these protests. which is george floyd and his terrible death, you know, when he said about thereafter, what they'd like to see come out of this in terms of a again, reaching out to the american family is just policing, just a law enforcement from prosecutors, from judges and i guess most of all a sense, and this really touched me, the family lawyer, benjamin crump, that a poor black kid born to

the least articulate mom would have an equal chance as a child born to the richest white mom and that's equal opportunity. >> dana: and it's one that i would think 99.99% of americans agree with, of course that is the ideals of our country. lawrence jones, you were there with us during the coverage, may be some reflections after you've had a chance to think about it for a little bit? >> lawrence: yeah, you know, it was great witnessing the home-going ceremony because it kind of put my spirit at peace, you know? there's been a lot of chaos because this has become a national, international story and to see the family that was able to grieve and be respectful as well and say, you know, we want justice for her brother, for our son but we also want -- don't want our city to be destroyed as well.

this family, you know, typically when we have funerals or home-going ceremonies, it's not public and they have to do it publicly and we got to see his humanity, all the childhood stories as juan pointed to but i'm glad they've remained focused on the vision and that's justice and for other people that have similar experiences just like him. >> dana: kd, that was one of the parts i enjoyed listening to the most was the stories about him as a brother or as an uncle, as his young nephew said that he was -- needed to somebody like george floyd in his life. >> katie: yeah, and to listen to his brother say how grateful he was that so many people wanted to be a part of his memorial service was something that everybody can relate to, of course you want people to remember the ones that you love so much especially under these circumstances. the announcement of the scholarship fund was also a good thing for moving forward but i have to say if we're going to

talk about unity and trying to build bridges, i'm not sure that al sharpton was the best choice considering his long career of sowing division in this country and burning bridges down rather than building them up. so he's the one who made it political, unfortunately, he attacked the president even though the president is the one who called for the fbi and doj to look into this, he's from the beginning said we don't want these communities to be burned down by rioters, we want people to protest and we want families to have justice. it was great to listen to the family members talk about who george floyd was but if were going to talk about unity moving forward and how to heal from this situation i'm not sure al sharpton is the one to lead the way. >> dana: let's talk about moving forward, greg, maybe some final thoughts here. >> greg: i don't want to take anything away from this, what is a very touching and meaningful and emotional event but it was weird, i was watching the thousands and thousands of people and thought of contrast

pop into my head which is i started remembering all the black people and the white people, all the people who haven't had any funeral because of the coronavirus, right? there've been thousands of families that have not been able to put their loved ones to death and we have this amazing kind of event for one man and i want to make two other points, god bless george floyd's brother for making that very important distinction between protests and violence, you can't say that enough and good for him to get up there and say that but i do think for the open-minded, you've got to take this memorial service in good faith as a reflection of a society in which everyone is in agreement on the human condition, right? that the racist society that devotes this kind of reverence and attention to the death of a

previously unknown black man, does a racist society spend ten days in rage over the death of an unknown black man? does a racist society encourage more protests all over the country even though we know there might be violent? does a racist society involve millions of people asking the angry what can we do better? and the answer is, that is not a racist to society, not even close. >> dana: indeed. not a racist society. coming up, democratic leaders making excuses for looting, greg will explain all of that next. ♪ and that protects our customers 24/7. sorry i'm late, everybody, and apologies for my appearance. you look fine. we were just talking about -- yeah, right. i look like a wanted poster. i didn't have time to get my beard routine in this morning, so... what beard routine? ah. well, the key is maple nectar. gives it that sheen. is there something wrong with my screen? -mnh-mnh. -jamie, what are talking about? you're right, alan. we should be talking about bundling home and auto

as new york city burned, he was about governor randy cuomo said on tuesday on twitter. "there are those who want to intentionally blur the lines between peaceful, legitimate protesters and looters. the president is among them. they want you to watch the videos of the looting, not the video of mr. floyd being murdered. don't fall for it." a governor whose citizens and taxpayers are under attack claims the biggest problem is witnessing the attack, the mayhem, the eluding come of the attacks on cops because that blurs the line between peaceful protests and looters. i suppose he would prefer you watch this over and over again. >> this moves the actual swab that was being used to fit up that double barrel shotgun you have mounted on the front of your pretty face. >> greg: i will never get tired of that. so who is blurring the lines between protesters and looters? it's not me, it's people like him because every time you mention the rioters they accuse

you of smearing protesters. we do understand the difference. as he? do you remember when you condemned the actions of jihadists and suddenly they accuse you of islamophobia? when you criticize beheadings that was the same as calling all muslims extremist. that idiotic response reveals who does of the blurring. by exposing the violent mob you protect the future of legitimate protests. not doing it forever links into destruction and death while saying or implying that black grievance only matters if it's expressed violently, that's nuts. if that's what you're saying, andy, you're the one sowing discord. you're the one who left us hanging, sacrificing citizens to the mob so we don't blur any of your precious lines. lawrence, in the a block i wasn't aware of the victim's brother coming out and basically saying exactly the point and the

thing is i think both sides of this debate agree that conflating protests handwriting is wrong, we just want both sides to identify them as different and then we'd be hap happy. >> lawrence: or just go and pick up the bad guys so we can have a peaceful protest, go pick them up. as i'm walking home from the studio i see them just lollygagging in my neighborhood and i don't understand, why didn't they pick them up? antifa just looking in the streets. today is the day we are reflecting on george floyd and the memories he had and there's been a lot of talk about his past and you know, george floyd was -- he had a past but guess what? in america and as a believer this is a place for redemption and he turned his life around and he works hard and he decided that he was going to do community groups with people and bible studies, that's what we want to remember so i said that,

the protesters in the looters, the protesters are doing it the right way but the looters, you've got to ultimately pick a side. george floyd picked a side and he decided to turn his life around, you can do the same, there is no reason to destroy your entire community, there is no reason, doesn't bring a monarch, the family has said that does not bring him honor. look at his past videos, he doesn't like that. at this point you're doing it for yourselves. >> greg: yeah. juan, one thing i noticed that i find funny is that the black members of the protest movement are sickened by the rioters and the agitators but it's the white liberals in the activist groups who are careful to virtue signal and not actually say anything about the rioting and looting,

it's the protest movement who understand the danger of the rioting more than anybody else, like mr. floyd's brother. >> juan: look, i don't think it is -- i think you often talk about the prison of two ideas so let's get out of the two ideas because to me it's not a zero-sum game, right? to me you can condemn the looting as criminal activity what you can also condemn what happened in terms of that awful, torturous murder of george floyd so looting and rioting, you say, it's just black people. i say this as someone who studied the civil rights movement of the 1960s which provided such tremendous social change for our country that it was a nonviolent social protest movement. a lot of times the violence came from the government or from white supremacists. that didn't come from the protesting. they achieved real, solid chan

change. i would say to all of the country at this moment that building coalitions for change, persuading people of the goodness of your cause is about peaceful protests, that's why i'm so pleased to see that we have had so much more peaceful protests in the last few days. one last thing, what you've said about the society. a strong republican, someone we all know who said this society is not color-blind and probably never will be end until we are honest in that race is in anchor around our country's neck, that shadow will never be lifted. >> greg: thank you for that and you're dead wrong about what i said, i didn't say it was just black people, you took what i said incorrectly and that was really bad. i said it's a black people who are upset about the rioting, i didn't say it was just black people rioting and i wish you

wouldn't have said that. >> juan: i didn't say that. >> greg: you said -- >> juan: that's not what i said. >> greg: all right, i heard i it. >> juan: i said it's not just black people who are upset at the rioting, greg. >> greg: i didn't hear it that way. if you set it that way, i apologize but this is a show in which people can get things right most of the time and sometimes get things wrong which is rare, juan, it is rare that i get things wrong. >> dana: very rare. >> juan: very rare, very rare. >> greg: dana? juan brings up the condi rice quote which i find interesting because no one is denying that racists exist. i am denying that it's a racist society, that can exist simultaneously. >> dana: yeah and i think one of the things that condi rice also has set in the past that always stuck with me is that

america was born with a birth defect and we've been dealing with that birth defect for a long time and obviously our nation fought a war over it. i think what you're saying is also there is opportunity here for all of us to believe in the american ideal because america is not a country where we are just sharing bloodlines. we came together because of ideas and that's what holds us together, that's the fabric, that's the glue. you can't let anybody take that away from us as a nation of soul and foreign nations bill barr said today, foreign nations have been trying to use this to create more tension within our country, ignore them, do not worry about what other nations are thinking and when it comes to antifa for example, henry rogers called every single democratic senator's office

today asking for some sort of condemnation, got none, there is none. so maybe they aren't blurring the lines. maybe donna clear line. >> greg: yeah. katie, what are your thoughts? >> katie: greg, i want to get back to your point about blurring the lines between the protesters and the rioters and a lot of it has to do with the democrats in charge not wanting to take her spots ability for what has gone on, whether it's bill de blasio, governor cuomo, the mayor of d.c. and also when you blur those two lines you do a disturbance to the very people you say and claim you are standing up for and protecting so for example the black woman in the bronx who lost her store to looters who said i am black, and now my store which i partially own and work for has been destroyed and the jobs of the people who work here have been destroyed. what about the black officers who have been killed as a result of these riots? so there needs to be a

distinction between the two for the sake of accountability and preventing the very communities that are impacted the most by this from being hurt further by a group that it has completely hijacked the narrative and the cause on this and if you want people to take this seriously, you want people to move forward with unity, you have to make the distinctions of people know that the two groups are not mixed or they are going to see them as one and according to a lot of people on the ground that's not what's happening here. >> greg: all right. before we come back i'm going to look at the tape of me and want and if he is wrong i am tping is a house. >> dana: do not waste tp! there's a shortage. >> greg: i know, i know. i've been saving it up for his house. up next, ramping up calls to defund the police as they come under attack.

>> katie: the left not just calling for criminal justice reform, they now want to defund the police after two nypd officers were shot and another was stabbed last night while protecting against looting. this new push gaining support across the country including from former hillary clinton press secretary. >> is our nation being ripped apart by a total and complete lie, approvable lie. of the 802 shootings in which the race of the police officer and test suspect was noted, 371 of those killed were white, 236 were black, the vast majority were armed and overall there were a total of precisely ten cases in the united states last

year in which unarmed african-americans were fatally shot by the police. in fully half, the officer was criminally charged. is it possible that more of these officers should have been charged? justice is not always served, that's for sure but either way, this is a very small number in a country of 325 million people, this is not, not even close to, it is laughable to suggest it is. the number of police killings is dropping, no american should ever be mistreated by those in authority, much less killed. >> katie: so lawrence, is there a danger here in this narrative that all police should be defunded? we know when policing stops and crime-ridden communities, the people who suffer the most are those who have no defense against the criminals.

>> lawrence: so let me push back a little bit because i think this so often happens when we are having these debates and this is all centered around the one term, systematic racism. because we aren't on the ground and i mean republicans on the ground, we talked about this a little on the show, we are always on defense when it comes to the issues that the left talk about. so for example, the issue is not just police shootings, it's about you know, what happens on the ground and the police department so with the ferguson report you saw that it was big government and there and they literally policing for profit, when you look at minneapolis, you see in the police department, the use of force that when it comes to black americans it's a big problem there so instead of people on the right saying, you know what, this is our plan. to get rid of the unions and put our policies in there.

when people say systematic racism, instead of being on the ground and saying you know what, people should not have to go to the school just because they live in the zip code. when people say they are not safe in the community, instead of going into the community, you know it, this is how you defend yourself, these are your rights, there is an answer for every single thing that because conservatives on a local level, not talking about the president's national policy, local level, how you get things done, we never have a response so we go back and forth on who's the bigger racist and who's not. >> katie: yeah. greg, your thoughts on the defund the police movement? >> greg: obviously that's bigger than just structural racism, once you remove the police there are no protections at all even for minority neighborhoods and the police exist to protect us from

ourselves, right? without them, you have mad max beyond thunderdome but the thing that damages a lot of these arguments and statistics. white officers are less likely to shoot nonwhite people than nonwhite officers shooting nonwhite suspects, i hope i got that right. white officers are less likely to shoot nonwhite than nonwhite shoot nonwhite so if the police is structurally racist it's intramural he racist so that's not a black problem, it's our problem. it's a small number but the fact that nonwhite officers are more likely to shoot nonwhite suspects than white suspects, that kind of destroys the racial narrative, meanwhile police officers are 18 and a half times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a cop and that's not saying that the latter is not a big deal because

it is but once you get into the statistics if i can pronounce that word, what you find is that the emotions are real but untethered, some very uncomfortable facts that we wish to ignore. >> lawrence of protesters they are laying in the streets and lots of police there who were black police officers so the question is, does defund the police also apply to them? >> dana: apparently, he didn't leave any room for nuance. republican should be so luckily of progressives and democrats want to pick this up as their mantle and make this their election model going into 2020. but i do think there is room here for some compromise and maybe even some bipartisan

agreement because i've been learning a little bit more about concerns from both sides of the aisle about police unions. that might be something that you can find some agreement and you can look, when you say you want to do something specific and justice for george floyd for his death to have meant something for change, the other thing i want to point out to everybody but may be to the left is if you really care about refugees who are desperate to come into america, what's the number one reason they want to come to america? it's not just because they think they'll get a job, it's because they are fleeing the violence in their own countries where the police and the government cannot protect them, that's why they want to come here. if you have safety and opportunity you can achieve something. >> katie: doesn't need to be some kind of a balance between police accountability, they should be held accountable for bad behavior but not going so

far as to put communities that need policing in jeopardy for future crimes. >> juan: i think this is a bad idea, defund the police, to me it's poor communities that need higher levels of attention and engagement from the police to produce good policing, to make people feel safe in their homes and in terms of their stores, property, and the rest so i think in fact you need good policing. talking about doing away with some of the delivery of tanks and military equipment after wars, that i think they could do away with but i want to speak for a second to the idea of the statistics because it's clear from the statistics i see that half the people who die from police shootings are white but remember, blacks are only 13% of the population and according to these numbers black people are killed at twice our rate of white people by police and in

fact it's not only that, they are twice as likely to be unarmed so i again, to come back to lawrence's point, i think there's more engagement and it's not always on a positive nature, leaves people feeling like the police may be an occupying force and we don't want that. >> greg: i just want to tack on till wants the statistic which is, people can go and check this, i believe you are looking at population and not looking at police encounters. there may be a change in the statistics on that but that's for later. >> dana: i believe greg is correct we will look it up. moving along, joe biden's a search for a running mate getting derailed. we will tell you why up next. ♪ effortless is the lincoln way.

>> juan: joe biden's search for a running mate is well underway but is running into some roadblocks, top contenders,

amy klobuchar amy klobuchar, kamala harris facing new scrutiny over their background in law enforcement. a lot of this comes down to criminal justice, even the criminal justice bill that joe biden is involved within the the mid '90s but again, if you look back, congressional black caucus, black mayors, members of citcity council, they all suppod it, what you make of it? >> dana: i think the black community is probably less worried about the crime bill than some people like the progressive left seem to be much more exercise about it but what's interesting is joe biden's vice presidential choice is going to have to go through a purity test that he absolutely didn't have to go through in the primary so that was probably true before floyd's murder but is definitely true now and i think that somebody like amy klobuchar, the senator from minnesota tried to get out ahead yesterday to make that announcement before the attorney general of minnesota could about the additional

charges against the officers but i think when you have james clyburn saying that he thinks her chances are toast, she's done. kamala harris, that was a problem for her going back to her primary. i'm going to submit to you that there might be another woman in play, i think tammy duckworth, the senator is a real possibility for the vice presidential pick. >> juan: lawrence, unintended consequences of having been in law enforcement, three strikes and you're out penalties for nonviolent drug crimes, what do you make of this? >> lawrence: no, they know what they were doing, the people that are currently in leadership don't care. they were for these laws and aggressive measures while they were elected and all of a sudden now that they want to be on the national stage they've forgotten the policies they stand for. i'm glad everybody's talking about getting rid of the police

unions, you know who they endorsed in these local races and attorney general races? a lot of democrats so again, they've got to decide what candidate they want but all of this shifting the blame and saying they were once for the community is not going to work especially for those >> juan: that's a good point. greg, i'm going to flip on you here and say i think they did a good job as prosecutors and as a police chief. >> greg: i'm sorry? somebody went into my ear, i missed your question, i'm not joking. i miss the question. >> juan: i said in fact you could argue that val demings is the police chief, amy klobuchar, harris as prosecutors did a good job for their communities in terms of protecting them. >> greg: i don't know, though. i think they are bad choices, because joe is trying to do a progressive makeover i have three suggestions, okay?

number one, bill ayres, he's available, he tried to bomb a military installation, you can get some street credit for that. still in jail for a an in the murder of an officer, then, she killed new jersey state trooper, there's a claim that she's dead in cuba but i doubt that, that's a false front. i'm just saying that if joe really wants the job and wants to get the progressives to drop on their knees for him they'll say anything, he has no spine. >> juan: katie, who is your pick for the vice presidential spot? >> katie: i think dana is spot on with tammy duckworth being a potential candidate but joe biden has backed himself into a corner here, he initially said off-the-cuff during that debate that he was going to pick a woman and now because he's had a few gaffes when it comes to race relations he now is backed

himself into another corner where he has to go even further left but if he does that with the vice presidential nominee he again destroys this idea that he is someone that independence can depend on to be more moderate and not as far left as the democratic party has become so that's an issue for him. and when it comes to the "law & order" and policing part of this coming you make a good point about the groups that supported the 1994 crime bill, the prosecutors that were on board with this but nobody's really explained why they supported it, they supported it because murder was out of control, violent crime was out of control and that's all been cut in half as a result of much of this and can they be reformed? of course but joe biden has done a very poor job of explaining why that was something that the majority of democrats in the african-american community supported at the time. >> juan: well, katie, i agree with you. coming up, nfl star quarterback drew brees sparking outrage and
