7:02 am
of course, minneapolis, the city where george floyd died after nearly nine minutes with his neck under the knee of a police officer. >> and both minneapolis and neighboring st. paul declared curfews but demonstrators defied those orders and police officers say shots were fired at them. the governor says he understands the outrage, but overnight he told the protesters, you need to go home. >> the protest came despite the fact that former officer derek chauvin was arrested and charged with third degree murder. the anger in the streets spreading to at least 20 cities across the country from los angeles to denver to new york city and many more. the common refrain, "i can't breathe." the words floyd said over and over before he died. >> now, we will get reaction to all of that from floyd family attorney lee merritt. but first we have team coverage including the latest on the investigation into the other officers who were on the scene when floyd was begging for mercy. let's start with abc's alex perez in minneapolis. alex, good morning to you.
7:03 am
>> reporter: tough morning here, whit. i want you to take a look behind me here. there are scenes like this one across this city, buildings completely destroyed, still smoldering. the pentagon is readying the army, several units to be deployed if needed. the unrest is growing. [ crowd chanting ] overnight outrage in the cities across the country over the death of george floyd while in police custody. in minneapolis, protesters out in the streets for another night despite a mandatory curfew. state officials saying they just don't have the resources to contain the protesters. >> the situation is incredibly dangerous. this is life-threatening. i'm deeply concerned with the people who -- you need to go home. >> reporter: in oakland a security officer for homeland security killed.

7:05 am
>> please, please, i can't breathe. please, man. please, somebody help me. >> reporter: that difficult to watch video showing chauvin jamming his knee into floyd's neck while floyd is handcuffed. the horrified crowd begging him to stop. according to prosecutors the defendant had his knee on mr. floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total. two minutes and 53 seconds of this was after mr. floyd was nonresponsive. police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a prone position is inherently dangerous. police initially said floyd resisted officers and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. >> he has been charged with third degree murder. we are in the process of continuing to review the evidence. there may be subsequent charges later. >> reporter: three other officers involved in arresting floyd tau thao, thomas lane and
7:06 am
jay alexander kueng fired and could still face charges. new video shows lane and keung also pinning down floyd as he pleads for his life while handcuffed. >> i'm not going to speculate today on the other officers. they are under investigation. i anticipate charges but i'm not going to get into that. >> reporter: now based on the charges, the officer who had his knee on floyd's neck could face up to 35 years in prison. his wife says she's devastated by floyd's death and has filed for a divorce. dan? >> all right, thank you, alex. really appreciate it. we'll turn to the reaction to the arrest of the fired police officer derrick chauvin from floyd's family and supporters and celebrities weighing in now. abc's marcus moore is also right there in minneapolis this morning. good morning to you, marcus. >> reporter: good morning. we are outside the corner store where george floyd lost his life
7:07 am
and can you see the memorial in the distance. it is continuing to grow, along with calls for justice across the country. the anger and sadness over george floyd's death at the hands of a police officer seen across the nation. now friends and family are speaking out about the arrest of derek chauvin as we learn new details about floyd's past. according to the owner of this minneapolis nightclub both floyd and chauvin worked security. the owner telling me about floyd's time at the club. >> sweet as pie. very respectful. big smile. >> reporter: floyd's family and friends enduring a nightmare. our affiliate ktsp with floyd's girlfriend as she learned of chauvin's arrest. >> this is a piece of justice. this is the first piece and it needed to -- it needed to be done. >> reporter: floyd's daughter overwhelmed. her mother rose hudson embracing her as she bravely spoke for the family. >> they hurt these girls really, really bad. my daughter had to see her daddy be killed on live tv. >> reporter: their loss felt
7:08 am
across the country. floyd's long-time friend former nba player steven jackson and academy award winner jamie foxx appearing together at a rally. >> i'm at the point now where i'm tired of being a bigger person. giving love to every race and not getting it in return. >> we're not afraid to stand. we're not afraid of the moment. >> reporter: the call for justice growing on social media with celebrities like oprah sharing this message on twitter. we speak this time but this time we will not let your name be just a hashtag. coco gauff posting this to tiktok and beyonce -- sharing this heart felt video on instagram. >> we're broken and disgusted. we cannot normalize this pain. >> reporter: celebrities like beyonce and jamie foxx joining a chorus of celebrities calling for justice and colin kaepernick in partnership with his know your rights camp has offered to pay for the legal representation for protesters who are arrested here in minneapolis.
7:09 am
he wrote on instagram, quote, we must protect our freedom fighters. guys? >> marcus moore for us, thank you. now to the response to this from president trump. on the one hand tweeting about looting and shooting and on the other speaking with george floyd's family to offer his support. abc's rachel scott has more now from washington. good morning to you, rachel. >> reporter: eva, good morning. president trump said he did not know the racist history behind the phrase when the looting starts, the shooting starts. it took him about 13 hours after he initially tweeted that to try and explain. clarifying he was not calling for violence against protesters. outside the white house, chants of let him breathe. [ crowd chanting ] the protest sending secret service scrambling putting the white house in temporary lockdown. hours earlier president trump walked away from reporters without addressing the outrage over the death of george floyd.
7:10 am
and on thursday the president seemed to fuel even more of it. as protests spread across the nation, he tweeted these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let it happen. any difficulty and we will assume control but when the looting start, the shooting starts. that phrase can be traced back to the 1960s. miami's police chief at the time used those same words calling for violence against blacks. later the president said he was unaware of the racist history. >> i've heard that phrase for a long time. i don't know where it came from, where it originated. >> reporter: twitter marked his comments as a violation saying it glorified violence. the president posted that same message on facebook, but the social media platform decided to stay out of it. overnight facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg said, while he disagrees strongly with how the president spoke about this, he believes people should be able to see this for themselves. those who did weighing in. >> this is no time for incendiary tweets. it's no time to encourage violence.
7:11 am
>> reporter: former president barack obama speaking out about floyd's death too writing, for millions of americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly normal. adding, it is time for a new normal. after a wave of criticism president trump said he did speak to the family of george floyd and expressed his sorrow and as he called for peaceful protests he also said he understood the hurt and pain of many americans. whit? >> rachel scott for us in washington, thank you. joining us now is attorney lee merritt, co-counsel for george floyd's family. mr. merritt, thank you so much for joining us on what is a difficult and painful morning in this country. i want to start with officer derek chauvin who has been arrested, charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. the other officers have not been charged yet. i know floyd's family was initially calling for first degree murder. are they satisfied with this first step? >> we see it as a move in the right direction, but, no, we're
7:12 am
not satisfied with this first step. we believe that the charges should be more severe and that there should be additional arrests. those could have already been made by now. >> now, we know that the initial preliminary autopsy also came out. it did not show that there was strangulation or asphyxiation as the direct cause of death. but instead the officers, the way they restrained him combined with some of floyd's health conditions and other factors. what do you think about that preliminary result? and i understand that you're actually calling for a separate independent autopsy. >> concerning the preliminary result, we unfortunately have learned that we cannot rely on state-sponsored autopsies and so we are looking for our own private autopsy. but it is important to note, of course, that that restraint, unlawful, illegal restraint applied to mr. floyd was found as a contributing factor to his death. we believe but for that unlawful restraint he would still be alive today.
7:13 am
>> eight minutes and 46 seconds with his knee on floyd's throat. also, you just heard our report about president trump's tweet saying when the looting starts, the shooting starts. he explained that he didn't know the origin of that phrase and didn't mean to incite violence. he also says he spoke with floyd's family to express remorse. what can you tell us about that conversation that he had with floyd's family and what's their response to the president's comments? >> well, that statement was brought up, if not directly by the family, then on the way to the call. we know that we had representatives speak to the president about that comment. we found it both to be dangerous, irresponsible and disrespectful to the peaceful memory of floyd. there are people who are hurting. there are people who want to express their outrage in a very controlled way. we haven't seen protesters, we believe, burning, looting anything. we have seen violence from law enforcement that instigated
7:14 am
these protests and we've seen interlopers come in with their own agenda. for the president to use that statement broadly we found it to be very, very dangerous. >> of course the fires and clashes doesn't represent all the protesters. we have seen some vandalism. we've seen some violence, buildings set on fire. what is the message from floyd's family to those who are out there on the streets demonstrating? >> we would like the same level of outrage about the burning, the looting, the fires for the continued brutality -- we've seen law enforcement officers target protesters with random acts of violence. i personally have been with the protesters in minnesota and we've seen law enforcement drive by and spray mace out of the window that people who are simply standing around. so we're asking for the law enforcement community to stop agitating protesters,
7:15 am
folks and of course asking for interlopers, arsonist, people just interested in destruction and not freedom to stand down. >> all right, attorney lee merritt, thank you again for your time. we truly appreciate it. dan? >> thank you, whit. all of this unrest and anger is, of course, playing out against a backdrop of an ongoing pandemic. this morning, the re-opening is moving ahead even as the world nears 6 million cases and 14 u.s. states report an increase in cases. abc's trevor ault has the latest on all of this. trevor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. you know, it's a tumultuous time in this country to be sure and health officials are stressing even as america's focus shifts in other directions, the threat of this virus is still very real. and people heading out in public for any reason still have to be really careful. with the worldwide covid-19 case total expected to eclipse 6 million this weekend, the cdc issuing another grim prediction that the united states will pass 115,000 deaths by june 20th. the agency warning restless americans that travel or camping
7:16 am
may be especially dangerous and that staying home is the best way to protect yourself. >> the journey to this point has seemed very long. and unfortunately the journey is far from over. >> reporter: illinois now lifting its stay-at-home orders, suburban salons and retail stores re-opening and los angeles county allowing all salons, barber shops and in-person dining to come back with safeguards. >> what would you like? >> reporter: washington, d.c. restaurants are also returning. >> we're having across the street them bring the food from inside and everything and the drinks. >> reporter: after the department of commerce said consumer spending nosedived 13.6% in april, the biggest drop ever recorded. >> we certainly will probably see some retailers not make it. >> reporter: while every state continues to re-open, 14 of them and puerto rico are reporting an increase in cases including alabama which had its highest caseload ever this week. after this memorial day pool party at the lake of the ozarks health officials have been
7:17 am
notified that a boon county resident has tested positive for covid-19. out in california stunning allegations against a hollywood nursing home alleging they forged a death certificate to downplay the impact of the virus on their patients. but at least a few signs of hope as the world hunts for a cure, moderna has started phase two of its vaccine trial. one of the country's last hold-outs to start the re-opening process is, of course, right here in new york city and officials say they continue to see good progress in controlling the virus. the city is on track to start re-opening june 8th which is a week from monday. eva? >> trevor, thanks. time for the weather. rob is watching the forecast closely. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning, eva. i know you experienced storms last night. rough ones coming through. should be a beautiful day across much of the east. it was rough yesterday. here's a report of wind from glenn falls. big trees coming down here and some power outages as well.
7:18 am
here's one of those super cell storms that rolled through. scary night. now that's through and we're watching this cut off low about to roll into northern california. unusual for this time of year. it will be windy and rainy in spots of the bay area and some summer storms in the pacific northwest before cooler air comes in. all right. let's get to the space forecast. we want to launch today. will that happen? not nearly -- about the same chance as last week. about a 50/50 shot. we'll see thunderstorms in the afternoon. launch at 3:22. good saturday morning. storm impact scale a level one today with scattered showers, the possibility of a thunderstorm. breezy south winds, keeping it mild to start out. throughout the day, could see a couple hundredths with some showers, maybe a tenth of an inch if you're under a thunderstorm. the accuweather seven-day forecast calls for a quiet sunday, a warmer monday and then
7:19 am
by tuesday and wednesday, we are heating up inland. 80s around the bay. coololololololololololololololol >> reporter: all right. we better get this launch off the ground otherwise gio will have to establish residency in florida. >> listen, more on that launch from gio who is at cape canaveral. >> reporter: good morning to you, eva. that count down clock is running. nasa and spacex are still looking at the forecast to see if it's a go. we're seeing dramatic images from another spacex test. as nasa and spacex make a second attempt to launch astronauts into space, another spacex test suffers a major anomaly. >> oh, that was not nominal. it's gone. >> reporter: this was a test for the unmanned star ship prototype, a new spaceship from
7:20 am
the elon musk company spacex. tests like this are critical tests in preparation for human space flight. >> and liftoff. >> reporter: while this historic launch with astronauts is a test flight, the falcon 9 rocket has had 85 successful launches over the past ten years. the big question now will the bad weather scrub this next launch too? >> why not wait till the weather is good? why go through the whole process when you have lightning in the area and such? >> when we balance all of these things, there is always, always, always going to be uncertainty. >> reporter: yeah, the weather here is just one factor. now, right now the u.s. space force tells us that there is a 50/50 chance the weather here will be good enough for a launch at 3:22 p.m. this afternoon. if that doesn't work, they'll try again tomorrow afternoon. eva? >> and i know you will be monitoring that forecast because the forecast -- this launch is very much contingent on that forecast. stay with abc news and abc newslive for complete coverage

good morning, everyone. i'm liz kreutz. we're getting a significant look at the aftermath left behind after protests over george floyd's death. oakland police have released preliminary information. they say 60 looters were
7:28 am
detained and 20 others were detained. 13 law enforcement officers were injured. the extent of their injuries has not been released. all right. lisa has a check of the weather now. i know there's thunder and lightning you've been tracking as well. >> that's right, liz. there will be hit and miss for most of you, and certainly not a washout today. you can get out and about and really have to dodge a few light showers. the possibility exists for an isolated thunderstorm. cooler today. 60s and 70s. drier and warmer tomorrow. liz? >> sounds good. thanks, lisa. today our fridge just stopped working. fortunately, this one can handle it all. shop lowe's for free delivery and save on a new whirlpool refrigerator. discover what's possible at lowes.com.

or credit card bills. welcome back to "gma" on this saturday morning. breaking overnight, violent protests in about a dozen cities across the country. demonstrators filling the streets of minneapolis, los angeles, atlanta and brooklyn, new york, all enraged by george floyd's death at the handing of minneapolis police. the officers seen pressing his knee on floyd's neck now charged with murder and manslaughter. we'll start this half hour with law enforcement across the country trying to reassure black communities that everybody will be treated fairly under the law. but what is happening in minneapolis is highlighting a tense and painful history and abc's zachary kiesch is here now with more. zachary, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, fear, lack of trust and trauma from past
7:31 am
experience, those are the things the cocktail of issues on display, not only here in minnesota, but around the country. law enforcement from around the country can't get far enough away from the actions of former cop and accused killer derek chauvin. >> when we do not live up to our core values, we chip away at the trust we worked so hard to build. >> these officers didn't just fail as cops, they fundamentally failed as human beings. >> there is no training across anywhere in this country but especially here at the city of miami that teaches someone to take that kind of action. >> reporter: but it's not new for america. this country has been policing black people since the beginning. going back to slave patrols in the south organized policing was used to keep physical and psychological control over slaves. it's been described as organized terror to prevent revolts. to control movement. some considered it a civic duty. others did it for money. then it was the jim crow laws meant to keep the black community in their place.
quote
7:32 am
>> we live in a society that still sees black people as violent, as dangerous, as immoral, as untrustworthy. so when they have interactions with law enforcement, we don't get a presumption of innocence. >> reporter: what's unfolding in minneapolis is initiating new conversations but old issues. reflective of deeply ingrained in institutionalized racism. >> what you see is people saying, well, we can't do the same things we always do. we can't rely on the same judicial system. we can't rely on the same decision makers. we have to take justice into our own hands. >> reporter: according to studies, blacks are more likely to get stopped, searched, arrested and killed by the police in this country. and most agree there has been progress, but there's a fundamental difference when it comes to race and interactions with law enforcement. >> there's certain levels of distrust that there shouldn't
7:33 am
be, these levels of distrust and fear in many situations. so that's relevant in any discussion on race. it's fear and distrust. we got to get past this. >> reporter: in a 2016 pew study, 33% of blacks said police do a good or excellent job of using the right amount of force in each encounter. white americans on the other hand believed that happened 75% of the time. >> study policing of black communities, of violence against black americans committed by the police, then you know this is part of a very long history and that these are not unrelated. >> reporter: what we are seeing is people being triggered across the country. now, researchers say that trauma is shared on the cellular level. it is passed on from generation to generation. now, officials not only in minnesota but around the country are adamant change is coming but they also caution that any kind of change will be incremental. it's been 400 years. eva? >> zachary kiesch for us. joining us now is the president of the afro-american police league deandre' hutchison, a sergeant with the houston police department. thank you so much for being with us this morning.
7:34 am
seeing what was in zachary's piece and what's happening not just in minneapolis but around the country, it seems clear people of color are skeptical even distrustful of law enforcement. why do you think that is? >> good morning, eva. thank you for having me on to give my perspective. but people are outraged because this narrative has played on for way, way too long and just like in that video, just like in some of the other videos we've seen played out on the national level, the police have violated a trust, the oath to protect and serve. that was violated in that video and it was very inhumane what happened in that video. and nobody wants that to happen to their brother, their uncle, their dad and that's -- as a black person first that's exactly what i couldn't help but think of.
7:35 am
what if that was my father, my brother, my best friend, somebody that i knew and cherished very near and dear to my heart? so that's where like you say this trauma, if you will, almost like ptsd, it just keeps opening this gaping wound that has never been healed. >> and speaking of that, how difficult is it for black officers to balance their job and their feelings about what's going on around them? >> absolutely, and it's outrageous. it builds up a lot of rage because i know what type of police officer i am and i know what kind of police department we have here in houston. then you see videos of those instances and those incidents and it just breaks your heart. where was the diversity in that
7:36 am
police department? where was the command staff that would check that kind of force because this guy had a record of using excessive force? there was nobody in that department that said, hey, we might need to look at this a little bit closer and do some more examination and maybe discipline some of these guys that are using excessive force on scenes because, if they would have done that earlier on, we may not have gotten to this flash bang that we see now. >> if you can, help us understand where and how do officers learn to deal with people in that way? >> they never learn to deal with people by putting -- impeding their breath. we all know asphyxiation, positional asphyxiation, all of these things play a factor when people are excited, they're on drugs, they are stressed in high stress situations. so breathing is already challenging enough. but then you add a 200-pound person impeding your airway, we have stricter laws as it relates to domestic violence and strangulation here in houston. and we know that that's a
7:37 am
fatal -- that enters people into that fatal plummet. when you impede someone's breath, they can't breathe. so they're going to die. so there's no training that teaches us to impede somebody's breathing and put our knees in their neck. but we do -- we are trained to use necessary force to effect an arrest. once the cuffs go on, all the aggression, all the force, all the resistance should have stopped and that guy should have been placed in the car or placed on the curb sitting up right waiting for the next thing to happen. to be transported in the ambulance or to be transported to a jail facility. >> sergeant hutchison, thank you so much for being with us this morning. we really appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> our t.j. holmes had a story yesterday and an interview subject described it as a profound exhaustion within the black community and a collision of two crises.
7:38 am
you have obviously the racial tension in america, but also the backdrop of the pandemic disproportionately impacting minority communities as well. definitely a tipping point in this country and really just a difficult time all around. let's shift gears and get a check of the forecast and our rob marciano who is watching all of that, rob, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, whit. turning out to be a nice day across much of the east with this front pushing to the east. behind me mamaroneck harbor which can get storm surge from tropical systems. that's not in the forecast but brings us to my point which is this, we have our next system in the middle of the atlantic more or less with a 60% chance of becoming our next tropical depression. if it becomes named it will be the earliest we've had three named storms in the season on record. how about that? we'll be watching that. eastern pacific off the coast of mexico this has a better chance, 70% chance, of becoming not the first but the next tropical depression, the first named storm. good saturday morning. starting out with a few scattered showers, level one on
7:39 am
our storm impact scale. we could see a thunderstorm throughout the day. mainly a lot of cloud cover, 60s and 70s. we're e e e e e e e e e e e e >> reporter: this weather report sponsored by chase. got the dog out here at the park. we'll bring sonny on board in the next hour so i'll probably be chasing her around at some point. back to you guys in the studio. >> thank you, rob. look forward to that. coming up on "gma" big changes at the office. the safety measures you can expect to see when you return to the workplace. when you think of a bank, you think of people in a place. but when you have the chase mobile app, the safety measures you can expect to see when you return to the workplace. when you get a ch. you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can detect suspicious activity on your account from here. and you can pay your friends back from here. so when someone asks you, "where's your bank?" you can tell them: here's my bank. or here's my bank. or, here's my bank. because if you download and use the chase mobile app,

managing stress in the face of all of that? >> well, dan, first i'm glad you're even bringing this up because so often in medicine we fail to connect the head and our spiritual psychological, emotional well being to our physical well being and the rest of our body. i think the first step when you see these images is to acknowledge and recognize they are upsetting. that has to be dealt with on an age-appropriate level. obviously if seeing images or video is triggering for you, you want to limit that. i think it's really important to do something positive so that you're more active instead of passive as you navigate these stressful and anxiety producing times and lastly we can't say this enough, ask for professional help. social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, this is their wheelhouse. so you don't have to navigate these waters alone. >> yeah, just to put a pin in the second thing you said there about acts of service, that can
