peaceful, saying that his brother would have wanted peace and unity, nonviolence. terrence floyd spoke today in minneapolis at the spot where his brother died one week ago today when a white police officer held his knee on george floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes. an independent autopsy has found that he died of the 60 asian due to neck and back compression. that contradicts an official report from the minneapolis police. for more, let's bring in stephan. he is in minneapolis for us. let's talk about this autopsy report that was commissioned by the family of george floyd, revealing that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression. do people there where you are -- have they heard the news? >> i don't think. no. that has not translated yet into

the minds of many here. but i can tell you that when the official autopsy report from the police department came out, 99% of the protesters, 99 of the people may be behind me, 99% of all people in minneapolis did not believe this could actually be the case. they had an independent autopsy now saying also that george floyd has actually died here. this is ground zero for what is going on in america right now, in minneapolis right there. i think when this will be sinking in, they will be relieved to know that there was an independent autopsy, and they will of course welcome the results. it is what they expected or believed to have happened anyway. brent: you are on the site where the final moments of george floyd's life began a week ago.

that spot now has become a memorial, hasn't it? >> yes. this is basically -- i have to tell you, this is the only safe spot we have discovered here in minneapolis, meaning that in a few hours time when it is dark here, when it is 8:00 local time, there will be barricades here. every street going towards this intersection. they will be erected by protesters and the scene will change, because that is when law enforcement starts again to enforce the curfew. this site is the only side i have and we have visited so far or been at, which has not seen any law enforcement trying to enforce the curfew and drive people out. anywhere else in minneapolis, police and state troopers, law enforcement was everywhere. they started their drive to get

protesters off the street to enforce this curfew. here, this is not the case so far. brent: what is your sense? today is the one week anniversary of all of this. now we have this autopsy report out. put all of that together. do you think the family's call for these protests to be peaceful will be heated tonight -- heeded tonight? >> i think it will have an impact definitely. people here were eager to hear what the floyd family has to say. terrence floyd, as you pointed out ahead of our live shot here, did say, try to keep the fire, try to still be outraged, but keep it peaceful. do not go into buildings, ransacked them, loot them, and set them on fire. this can be done differently. nobody here understood it that he wanted to take away from the drive those people have to bring their point across.

that they are fed up and absolutely done with police brutality and systemic racism in police forces, and other institutions. not just here, but across the country. it will have an impact. having said that, in all fairness, there will be people who come with an agenda who try to jump on the bandwagon and to also try to manipulate and direct this protest and the outrage in a very different and violent way. that is not what the real protesters and the floyd family want. brent: people around the world are hoping tonight will be peaceful and the protests will remain peaceful. we will see. on the story for us in minneapolis. thank you.
