mr. floyd's killing.h the president's taunts -- the use of a military drone by customs and border control, we are deeply concerned that this is being escalated at a moment when the city is in morning --mourning, in a moment where the city needs guidance and leadership. those in charge with safety are going at the opposite direction and ensuring minneapolis remains a powder keg. anchor: joe biden said today that the original sin of america, meaning slavery, still stains our country today. is that behind these protests and reactions to mr. floyd's death. >> absolutely. this country was founded on black subjugation, on racism and the myth of white supremacy. we see the strains of that througut every part of our society and particularly in the brutality that police feel constantly toward black people. the protests in minneapolis are an uprising against systemic racism. they are an uprising against the constant threat of police violence. they are an uprising against the systems that continue to oppress black p

mr. floyd's right. and that could still be an outcome later to have that trial occur and still have the officers go to prison. >> and finally, chief, i'm glad that tom brings up the rodney king case because i've reacquainted myself with those facts. i know many will say, look, in the end, it was a white juri in simi valley. i can't imagine there's more that people need to know, sitting in judgment between the nine or so minutes that exists that we've already seen in this case. >> well, first of all, you never know what a jury is going to do. you know that full well. even more importantly, in the points that tom made, in the rodney king case it did result in actions from the civil rights division and department of justice. but the view of the department of justice today is not the same as it was in the early '90s, quite frankly. you know, in the minds of a lot of people, the "j" in the department of justice no longer stands for justice for all. just look at what's going on in our country right now as it

mr. floyd who was unarmed in london is not the only place people are protesting, amy kellogg is live in florence italy. reporter: there has been similar shock around the world at the manner in which george floyd died and there have been peaceful protest in several places today, we sell protesters outside the u.s. embassy in berlin, they were waving banners, chanting slogans, they were calling for justice for george floyd and their banner said stop killing us, let us breathe, those are the some of the banners on this play in berlin today. in london a peaceful protest on the square took place and then it moved onto westminster in the houses of parliament where people wanted to make a statement about their upset over the killing over mr. floyd, protesters chanted black lives matter. >> we see for hundreds of years, black people and people of color, they are absolutely abused and killed in the street and it's getting worse and worse, we've had enough and if they don't listen we will scream louder a

mr. floyd's neck and colin kaepernick. this is why.hen you disagree with colin kaepernick, he started this some time a ago becaugo because of pl across america. do you believe that a legacy can be something positive, do you believe this national attention on what was done to mr. floyd will bring focus to this issue? >> i hope so. there has been a lot of people who had to die this way to generate this amount of conversation. to me that's really sad. people like george floyd should not have to die this way to have this kind of conversation but i am glad this happened. we can have all the trainings in the world and we can have body cameras and hire diverse police forces, if there are not criminal consequences for criminal behaviors from police officers, accountability is always going to allude us, i think. that's important that we not drop the ball here and the prosecutors and investigators and let the courts vet this and look at the evidence and i think in many ways the video itself. >> jeremiah ellison, i appreciate your time and please

and he goes over, talks to them, one cop picks up mr. floyd, walks him over to the sidewalk, and sits him down. >> let's go to the next video that mr. belfrey has provided, this one right here, and here we see mr. floyd, sitting on the ground, and one officer above him, in what developed into this odd waiting game. so christopher belfrey, how did you understand what happened? they arrest him in the car. they take him out. they handcuff him. and then this happens. what did you understand to be going on here? >> well, i didn't know, i didn't really understand why they sat him down right there. all i know is that when they set him down, i don't know if was him hurting or whatever it was, but when they set him down, the other cop came over, they helped pick him up, and they started walking. walking across the street. right then, i left. >> now, what we're seeing here, there's nothing else that happened between the time that mr. floyd was in the mercedes and this scene, he didn't start a fight with the police, he didn't try to run away, there was n

mr. floyd, they're saying that video that you saw, that ten-minute long video where you saw the officer's knee on mr. floyd's neck, that's all you needed to see. they are saying do the investigations later, that's enough to arrest this officer and have him go through criminal proceedings. meanwhile, here on the ground in minneapolis, the protests continue to happen. i just want to share a bit of a conversation i had with a protester. remember, in minneapolis this is a city that's seen protests where it's become munties and police. they've seen these clashes before. listen to what this protester told me a couple hours ago. >> clearly, the policing system in america is broken. unfortunately, this is a manifestation of long trama and long frustrations. i mean, these individuals aren't, you know, getting angry for no reason. the under lining symptoms is the police department in america, and the policing system in minneapolis. we need to go ahead and completely abolish the system, complete all over.

neck for ii police officer with his knee on mr floyd's neck for 11 minutes.atch the whole video because as disturbing as it is to see the police officer with his knee on mr floyd's neck not only while he was saying he could read but for at least four minutes after mr floyd was clearly unconscious was i think, the most disturbing part of it. i think evidence that what happened there was deliberate and calculated. so i think to charge the police officer with murder that's not intentional is not going to be reassuring to a large number of people. it's not going to, if there was any sort of, satisfactory outcome that we could've expected today this is not it. so what do you make of the timing of this announcement? they have to do something. i mean, people arejust fed up. these protests are as doctor west said a response to something thatis west said a response to something that is much more than this one incident. there is just that is much more than this one incident. there isjust a history of horrific police violence and brutality towards black people in this c

mr. floyd's neck for 6-7 minutes. esident immediatelyt tweeting out, the fbi and department of justice well into an investigation into sad and tragic death in minnesota of george floyd. i have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all the work done by local law enforcement. my heart goes out to george's family and friends. justice will be served. governor del my former governor chris christie of new jersey is with us. governor, i understand, mike tobin just interviewed a guy extremely articulate and passionate how he feels, a guy who has served this country. i see the crowds here and i see the guy was armed. i think about all the people of the city and i think about what's happening. can you explain the process, what the president's expedited investigation means, in the hopes that people won't get hurt in these protests, or any innocent people hurt. >> absolutely, sean. what the president will have done is that director wray will put a flood of fbi agents both from their field office in mi

the president did a good job in having a balanced tone and still honoring the life and memory of mr. floyd. if i had one thing that i would add to what the president is doing, it's where do we go from here as a country and i would get behind tim scott's bill, the walter scott act, that monitors these type of situations when it comes to shootings or police-involved killings. i would say look, you know, i don't understand the spirit of the lawrence jones or tim scott of those that are out there protesting because, you know, i don't know their experience as a black man or of female. i know when injustice takes place many an and i've experient from the fbi and bad actors that are in law enforcement so i know they can do it to you as well. when i find out it has happened, whether it's the doj or a commission that tim scott is trying to set up to monitor these situations, i will go after them with the full authority of the law. but those that are anarchists, you can't do that and we don't respect and you dishonor the memory of mr. floyd. pete: lawrence, as you watch

number of people of all ages, of all races of all backgrounds who agree that mr. floyd should still be alive. we have a number of people of all races of all backgrounds of all neighborhoods who are looking to see not only one but four, all four of the officers involved in his death be fully held accountable. we have an enormous number of people in our community who are heartbroken by the fact that the name george floyd does not stand alone in history, but that it joins too long and too rapidly growing list of names of unarmed, unaggressive, african american men, who have lost their lives wrongfully at the hands of law enforcement and the frustration that time and time again, we've seen no one held accountable. we have an enormous amount of legitimate frustration, of people who ask when, how long will it take. people who ask how egregious does it have to be. people who ask how well document ed does it have to be for someone to be held accountable for george floyd's murder. that frustration, that pain is real and it's legitimate. and to all of the people in our community,

so the issue here is notjust the death of mr floyd, he isjust here is notjust the death of mr floyd,the camel's back, there are many other straw underneath that one. and this is not an issue of the past decade, this is not an issue of the past decade, we are talking about 400 years of oppression in this country. we are talking about 400 years of racism in this country, we are talking about a police force in this country that historically, it was born out of slavery. with rounding up slaves, slave catchers, and we have never dealt with race appropriately in this country. so how do you try to address it, what needs to change within police forces? so it is obvious that this current policing paradyne in this country just current policing paradyne in this countryjust does not work. we need a new policing paradyne in this country, we need policing paradigm that is under control of the people. a community controlled police department is what we need on every corner of this country. and to go further with just so people know what i am not a police review board that takes a look at an inciden

mr. floyd's neck. i think when you look at the fact as you indicated mr. floyd was pleading saying i can't breathe, i can't breathe, i'm going to die. witnesses were pleading with this police officer, three other officers standing around. now there's videotape to suggest at least three of them kneeled on mr. floyd's body, i think there's sufficient evidence there that would have supported a second degree murder charge. and there's still the question why those other three officers have not been arrested. because they were fired. >> that was my next question. in many ways not the most specific but certainly a very disturbing aspect of this was the participation too but inaction of the other officers. what sort of -- you know, sort of sense of solidarity makes an officer look on and do nothing or as one did suggest rolling him over but not follow up when the suggestion was rejected? it's complicity, not solidarity. what makes that happen? >> it's the culture. it's a culture that devalues african-americans lives, michael. we just have to call it out for what it

mr. floyd's death. mr. floyd was not violent. mr. floyd was compliant. mr. floyd was not even charged or accused of a violent crime. there was no violence. that is what makes the killing more outrageous. when you are violent, it creates a scapegoat, to shift the blame. it allows the president of the ,.s. to tweet about looting rather than murder by the police officer. it allows the federal government to politicize what is going on. theories blaming the extreme left, which only furthers the politics of division. said, hate has caused a lot of problems in the world, but it has not solved one yet. the goal has to be affecting change. how do you use the energy to mobilize people to actually perform society and make things better. do not tell me that we cannot change because we know that we have and we know that we can. change comes when the stars line up. it is not easy, but when the stars line up and people are ready to change, they can change. we have seen it happen in this state and in this nation. we created a new civil right for the lgbtq community, when we

mr. floyd's neck, and mr. floyd was saying, i can't breathe. in fact, in the state of probable cause, the statement says that mr. floyd had indicated prior to that time, had told the police officers that he couldn't breathe when he was standing beside the police cruiser. now, derek chauvin pulled him out of the vehicle. mr. chauvin, mr. floyd fell, and then we saw the officers put a knee to his neck. we saw two other officers in third video, one on his back and one holding his legs down. that in itself showed that when mr. floyd is saying, he can't breathe, shows that there's some type of oxygen be getting to his lungs or his brain that would inhibit him from being able to breathe. so yeah. we see asphyxiation, we see strangulation. so the coroner report is false. >> so the obvious follow-up question to that is, an independent autopsy. are you going to conduct one? demand one at least? >> the family will be demanding an independent autopsy. it is paramount that an independent autopsy be conducted. i'll tell you why -- >> did we lose her? >> --

mr. floyd's neck for six plus minutes. esident immediately tweeting out a request for the fbi and department of justice already well into an investigation to the sad and tragic death of minnesota george floyd. i have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all the work done by local law enforcement. my heart goes out to george's family and friends. justice will be served. governor chris christie, former governor christie of new jersey is with us. governor, you know, i understand mike tobin just interviewed a guy extremely articulate and passionate about how he feels. a guy that has served his country. and i see the crowds there. i saw this guy was armed. and i think about all the people in the city, and i think about what is happening. can you explain the process of what the president is expediting a an investigation means in the hopes that good people won't get hurt and in these protests were any innocent people hurt. >> absolutely, sean. what the president will now have done is director chris w

mr. floyd's death. mr. floyd was not violent. mr. floyd was compliant. mr. floyd wasn't even charged or accused of a violent crime. there was no violence. that's what makes the killing more outrageous. when you are violent, it allows united states to tweet by a police officer. it law allows the federal govert to poe lliticize what's going o and theories blaming the left and the extreme left which only furthers the politics of division. maya angelou said, hate caused a lot of problems in the world but it has not solved one yet. the goal has to be affecting change. how do you use the energy to mobilize people to actually reform society and make things better? don't tell me that we can't change. because we know we have and we can. change comb comes when the stae up. it's not easy. when the stars line up and the people are ready to change, they can change. we have seen it happen in this state and in this nation. we created a new civil right in this nation for the lgbtq community when we passed marriage equality. and we said we will no longer discriminate when it

i want to see the medical examiner's report about how mr. floyd died. but having said that, that much of the encounter, which we can see on video, is horrible. i can think of no legitimate law enforcement reason why a police officer would put his knee and much of his body weight on a person's neck to the point where the person is screaming i can't breathe. it reminds me, with a lot of these incidents that are documented on film, that happened to be documented on film, how many instances of excessive force are there that don't happen to be on camera? and then on a broader point, this is another remind every of why it's so important that our law enforcement officers on the street be trained in tactics of deescalation. when you're in an encounter like this and the civilian is becoming very agitated, we don't know whether that's in this case, but the civilian, his family, people around him are becoming very agitated, trained officers in the tactics of deescalation, where they have the ability to calm everybody down and walk away and ask themselves, hey is t

what happened to mr floyd and racism in the united states. on the streets of minneapolis stephanie thank you. well george floyd stiff has also sparked demonstrations internationally including here in berlin hundreds of rallied in front of the u.s. embassy in solidarity several groups had cold for the rally on social media under the motto justice for george floyd against rice's police violence just a few miles away graffiti of floyd was painted onto the wall of buildings iconic mal pocket together with the caption i can't breathe. and lift off the historic spice x. mission to the international space station is on the way the expedition marks the 1st flight into space from u.s. soil and nearly a decade private company a 1000000000 a long lost space x. launched 2 nasa astronauts into orbit volatile weather conditions threaten to postpone the launch for a 2nd time but it was a picture perfect launch president donald trump was also president at president present roth at the kennedy space center for the historic moments like. being well earlier we s

mr. floyd was unresponsive and the officer had his neon hknee on his neck the time. the charging documents revealed what the medical examiner has so far determined although the autopsy is not finished. he has said, this is something the defense will likely seize on, there is no indication that floyd died of asphyxiation or strangulation, so no indication of asphyxiation or strangulation causing his death, but, and this is important, the combined effects of mr. floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions, and he's putting any potential intoxica intoxicants in his system, is the likely cause for mr. floyd's death. derek chauvin, the officer seen kneeling on george floyd's neck, is accused of murder. >> has been charged by the hennepin county attorney's office with murder and manslaughter. >> reporter: prosecutors say the other officers involved are also under investigation and will likely face charges soon. this after overnight protests left the police precinct, the neighbo

mr. floyd's own words as he narrates his demise saying i can't breathe. we want the prosecutor to win this case and statistically, even with these charges, the odds are against them. 150 officers have been charged with murder and manslaughter in the last several years. the vast majority of them have walked. if justice means a criminal conviction, then murder three i think is the best way of getting that and when this former police officer goes to the big house, if he's convicted, and he's asked what are you locked up for, they will say murder, not murder one, murder two, murder three. they will say murder. if he's duly convicted, he deserves that shame, that stigma of being labeled under the law a murderer. >> and the murder charge he faces carries a maximum sentence of 25 years. we want to go back to ali at his camera position on the streets of minneapolis, if he is there and available. ali, can you hear us? >> reporter: yeah, we're here, lawrence. so what we got is traffic started on here. we

mr. floyd's memory. people don't steal liquor, they don't break open liquor stores and walkout, i watch that demonstrating to mr. floyd when you're getting liquor to get yourself drunk or set sell it, you don't steal bicycles, you don't steal televisions, these people are doing so much damage, it is really, really horrifying and we have to reject it. >> i went to ask, just in terms of what you are telling us that should've happened in minnesota was superior officers in the white shirts, you know with eric gardner in your city years ago, is that another situation. >> i was not the mayor when eric gardner -- remember if it was mayor bloomberg or mayor de blasio, i don't remember if there were superior officers on the scene, i tend to think they were. harris: it does not mean because there's a superior officer that they will absolutely make the right decision. it gives you a much better opportunity in the gardner case was closer than this, i'm not justifying it or not, i'm just telling you as a lawyer or pr

mr. floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total. 2 minutes and 53 seconds of this was after mr. floyd was nonresponsive. police are trained that this type of restraint with the subject in a proned position is inherently dangerous. announcing the charges today, hennepin county's top prosecutor mike freeman said that despite more than one video of what officers did to mr. floyd, they didn't have enough to charge chauvin until today. >> we're looking at the evidence, there may be subsequent charges later. the investigation is ongoing. we felt it appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator. we can only charge a case when we have sufficient admissible evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. as of right now we have that. >> in a statement the family of george floyd, a 46-year-old father of two, welcomed a step on the road to justice. we expected a first degree murder charge and we want to see the other officers arrested. we call on authorities to revise the charges to reflect the true culpability of the officer. the decision to charge chauvin follows the emerge

mr. floyd's death should have also been charged. i don't understand the reason for the delay in charging those three officers. in addition to that, ali, there's a sense of suspicion around this medical examiner's report, which seems to try to open the window to suggest that the officers were not responsible for the death of mr. floyd. that medical examiner's report, i was glad to hear ben crump last evening say that he's going to get an independent, if you will, autopsy done on mr. floyd so that it can be very clear. we cannot remember a case where we had videotape evidence of almost the entire interaction between mr. floyd and the police up until the time he literally died in the hands of the police. given that, the county attorney, the district attorney, the prosecutor had all the evidence for the most part, that he needed at the very beginning to bring -- to do an arrest of the three officer -- the four officers, and then quickly bring charges. we've got keep a close eye on this prosecutor's office, his conduct in the case. i rem

mr. floyd's neck, not oy while he was saying he could not breathe, but at least four minutes after mr. clearly unconscious, was the most disturbing part of it and evidence that what happened there was deliberate and calculated. to charge the police officer with murder that is not tentional is not going to be reassuring to a large number of people. if there was any satisfactory outcome that we could have expected today, this is not it. anchor: what do you make of the timing of this announcement? rebecca: they had to do something. people are fed up. these protests are a response to something much more than this one incident. there is a history of horrific police violence and brutaty toward lack people in this country. and obviously t protests have escalated when we see that completely inadequate response by the district attorney and u.s. attorneys yterday. they had to act quickly. they have shown at each juncture, they showed yesterday when they held the press conference, that their responses are so much less than what they need to do. i do not think anyone will feel that this was somethi

talk aut mr. floyd and just about what we can do. >> reporter: officer derek chauvin was arrested today but for christina gordon and her family, the answers are bigger than that. >> it has to be more than us. this has to be a social problem. this is a question of humanity because at the end of the day, mr. floyd lost his life for no reason. >> reporter: during this pandemic, the mantra is, "we're all in this together." i wish that behavior was ei roughout society. sadly, we have yet another example of wanton disregard for life, especially that of black men. i'm aware that we can't legislator a caring and respectful heart, but the direction we continue to head in won't lead to a healthy place. it is my fervent prayer that we all will commit to actively engage in working on a heart change, and model the most powerful four-letter word in any language, and that is love. >> o'donnell: as martin luther king jr. said, "i have decide to stick with love. hate is too great a burden to bear." today, president trum

mr. floyd who was unarmed in london is not the only place people are protesting, amy kellogg is live

mr. george floyd. it doesn't help anyone. it changes the conversation. the president's words, whatever his intent was, we live in a time now where we have 50% of the media is waiting for anything he says to turn it into an argument or a spark of racism, whatever you wanted to be. again, we are arguing with what he said, what he didn't say, and we are arguing whether the looters were justified. we are forgetting and we are losing our voice. our voice should be about george floyd. the voice should be about people who have been murdered by the police. people who have been unjustly arrested by the police, corrupt systems, that is what they should be about. so i'm not concerned -- honestly i don't care what he tweeted. he was trying to get law and order restored. and he thought that tweet was great or not and some people have issues with it, some don't. i say focus on mr. george floyd to make sure he gets justice and looking at things, how the criminal justice system definitely needs a complete overhaul from top to bottom. and the one thing i will say about p

mr. george floyd's death. david. >> reporter: arthel and eric, there are two parallel investigations going on right now. one in minnesota, the criminal aspect which we know the officer was charged with manslaughter and third degree murder. at the department of justice headquarters in washington, d.c. is a civil rights investigation to see if mr. floyd's civil rights were violated. that's being held by the civil rights division, attorney general bill barr put out a statement he is very upset about what he saw in the video. in about an hour or so there will be a protest, supposed to be peaceful out here at the doj headquarters. arthel, i want to talk about what happened a few blocks from me last night. things escalated very quickly, six people were arrested, bricks were thrown at people. some secret service officers were injured, we're told that lafayette park is going to be closed today as a result of that. but back to this investigation that's going on here at doj and really across the street at the fbi headqu

mr. floyd's death to be arrested and charged. the charging of one officer is not sufficient at this time because there's amle probable cause. number two, the next press conference that the officials in minneapolis will hold, and the public safety director i think intimated to this, will give us information as to who is behind these acts of violence. if it is white supremacists, if it is russians, if it is other foreign actors who have tried to exploit the pain and exploit legitimate protests, then this is a new level in our country and they should be arrested and prosecuted as well. my sense, in listening to the governor, is that they have a fair amount of information on who is behind this. now, wolf, on thursday night, the leader of the twin city's urban league shared this very same thing with me. he said that, from his perspective, most of the violence was being carried out quote/unquote, by people whose mission and values were not aligned and they were not there to really protest the death of mr. floyd but really to create hav

mr. floyd's death. he told me that it was remarkable to him that after mr. d repeatedly told the officers hey man, i can't breathe, can you get up off of me, that the officers disregarded that and this man told me, he said he asked me, what does it take for an african-american to be taken as a human person, who feels things, if i say ouch, that means that hurt, please don't do that again. and there were a couple of other people who were basically expressing those same sentiments through chants and shouts, throughout the evening last night. >> let me ask you about what you raised there about the unusual response of the mayor here. the mayor said explicitly, i'm calling on hennepin county mike kahn to act on the evidence before him and charge the arresting officer in this case. what will we expect happen? what have we seen thus far between the mayor making that profound statement, that unusual statement, and the d.a., and also the police department in minneapolis, which has been through lots of changes and lots of upheaval and seemingly new police chiefs every

the unarmed mr floyd, who was black, died in minneapolis last monday after being pinned to the grounda white police officer. he was the latest in a string of african—american men to die through police action. president trump's national security adviser denied that there was institutional racism in the us police, saying that most officers were heroes. 0ur correspondent barbara plett—usher is in minneapolis. another night of chaos and unrest as anger over police killings spread to every corner of the country. penetrating the heart of political power in washington, dc, security agents used tear gas to push protesters away from the white house. new york's iconic streets were littered with the debris of rage over the death of george floyd, but also giving vent to years of festering frustration with police mistreatment of african americans. here and in more than a dozen other cities, protesters and looters ignored curfews. security forces rounded them up, fighting to restore order. nearly a third of the arrests took based in los angeles. —— took place in los angeles. in minneapolis, the nat

so that's a minor, non-violent infraction, but these cops roll up on mr. floydke he's a violent thug and that's how they treat him. they ordered him and the passengers to get out of the car. they put him in handcuffs. this is ineffective policing. cops arrest people every day who don't feel like getting arrested, but most officers are able to do that without the level of violence that we saw here. so deescalation is the technical term for the kind of training that these cops desperately need but then we get to what looks like a homicide. so we see the cops both handcuff mr. floyd, hands behind his back and what do they do? they lay him on his stomach. while police officers are trained not to have people lie prone for extended periods because that cuts off the oxygen supply, and what's next? the neck compression. under the minnesota law, the police regulations, cops can only use those kind of choke hold or neck compliance techniques if it's a life or death situation, and we don't see mr. floyd posing anything near a life or death threat. maybe he's objecting to b

you can clearly hear mr floyd saying he couldn't breathe.yd saying he couldn't breathe. mr floyd was being arrested following reports of using counterfeit money. he died shortly after arriving at hospital. four police officers have been fired, and the mayor of minneapolis has called for charges to be pressed against the officer filmed holding mr floyd down. but, as the mayor suggested in that clip you heard, for many of the protestors, this is notjust about this one incident. george floyd's death has direct parallels with another instance of police brutality back in 2014. again, this video is distressing. this is 43—year—old eric garner, who died after being arrested by white policemen in ferguson, missouri. he was put in a choke hold and just like george floyd, he said "i can't breathe". and just like this week's incident, eric garner's death sparked a wave of protests and riots. eric garner's mother was in minneapolis today. this is what she said. as you know, this happened to me almost six years ago. and this is just opening up old wounds

mr floyd was captured on video gasping for breath and pleading for his life. police officer seen with his knee on mr floyd's neck is now facing murder and manslaughter charges but that's done little to abate the anger, and calls are growing for the three other officers involved in his arrest to also be brought to justice. cocktail of factors are at play here. the pandemic has thrown a0 million americans out of work and trashed a once buoyant economy. people have been cooped up indoors for months as a result, some knowing it may be months if not years before they get theirjobs back. after taking off from florida in the united states thursday, spacex, the company founded by elon musk has completed not one but two historic milestones — being the first private company to launch a manned space craft into outer space and have it dock with the interntional space station. this is the moment the dragon capsule was making its final approach before docking to the iss. these are images taken from the international space station as the spacex craft was making its approach.

mr. floyd's death. after i watched that repeatedly, you can see him expire right there, he's gasping for breath. you know, when a man calls for his mother, and he's in a state like this, i mean, if you're a student of history, a veteran, a person who pays attention to such things, this is what wounded soldiers on the battlefield who can't be reached call for their mother. this is what soldiers trapped and wounded who can't be treated by a medic call for their mother. that's throughout history. that's a desperate call. it's a primal scream. and he's saying, momma, i can't breathe. please help me. it's the most horrific thing. and then we have to diddle dadle around and we can't get a warrant. this is hurting the city, because as citizens, first they endure this horrible crime in their face. and then they see no beginning of justice. and, you know, i liken it, and mark knows, his career as a policeman, like the arbery case in glenn county, and i spent a lot of time in glenn county, you show up, when i was

mr. floyd was seen on tape repeatedly pleading that he couldn't breathe, as an officer pinned him to the ground with his knee, jammed into mr. floyd's neck for minute after minute after minute after minute. since the day after george floyd died, protests have been taking place throughout minneapolis and in other cities across the country, too. these are live images that you're looking at right now in terms of what is going on in minneapolis tonight as we head toward nightfall. the neighboring city of saint paul, the capital city of minnesota, they ordered the state capital evacuated today. they ordered everybody out of the state capital, to get out, there were violent protests today in saint paul. this video was shot by an nbc news cruit outside a target store where hundreds of protesters were gathered and police were called after reports of looters at the shop having it and after police arrived, demonstrators were seen pelting a squad car with rocks and later took a bat to that squad car. no o

mr. floyd's rights.t will be a potential federal charge that derek chauvin and others could face in reference to mr. floyd's death. >> dana: all right, if you three could stick around, i have a fox news contributor and fox nation host listening to this. tyrus, are you there? tyrus, this officer, it's been about an hour since the news was announced that he has been arrested. he will be charged. your reaction to that. >> i think the arrest was a day late. i'm still kind of puzzled on what they were looking for and taking so long as far as brought the charges up at a later date. but i am relieved that he is arrested. and just hope that this sends a message to good cops out there to be good cops. we always see the bad apple. but we need to start seeing the good cops. to relieve him and to see that he was too close to it. to see that it had become personal to him. to put the hand on the shoulder of the other police officer to say hey come i got this. you need to step down. because only the police can police t

mr. floyd's family. president trump: i want to express our nation's deepest condolences and most heartfelt sympathies to the family of eorge floyd we're determined that jusce be served. i understand the hurt. i understand the pain. robert: joing me are four reporters who are covering this important story. yamiche alcindor, white house correspondent for "the pbs newshour." peter baker, cef white house compor "the new york times," "face the nation" and cbs news senior foreign affairs correspondent and white house reporter for "the washington post." presidentrump's initial response sparked criticism for inflaming racial tensions. he tweeted inha partt the protesters are, quote, thugs, and said he told minnesota's governor, tim walz, a democrat that if there is any dficulty we will assume control and, quote, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. twitter flagged the president's comments for glorifying violence. meanwhile, t presumptive democratic presidential nominee joe biden said this today. >> the

and i'm not seeing, frankly, any empathy or any heart for mr. floyd or for the communities that he loved and the communities that he belonged to. last night we saw not only a change in the temperament and the approach of the -- of what i will call rioters, they weren't demonstrating for a cause. they were not protesting for injustice. they were simply bent on destruction of property and they were bent on trying to hurt people. and they didn't really care who they hurt in the interim. we had multiple shots fired in both cities. coming out of the rioters' group. we had officers and national guard officers -- national guards men and women shot at. we had improvised explosive devices used to injure state troopers, dnr and others. we saw them break into post offices and we saw them try and destroy not only public property, but repeatedly set fires to private property with absolutely no -- i mean this, absolutely no sense that there were people who -- that was not just the -- it was not just the shop, it was not just their business, but that was their home.

mr. floyd's neck for 8 minutes, 46 seconds in total. 3 minutes 53 seconds of this was after mr. floyd was nonresponsive. police are trained this type of restraint in the prone position is inherently dangerous. three other officers involved in the arrest were also fired and could still face charges. >> the outrage of our national community about what happened to george floyd in minneapolis is real and legitimate. accountability for his death must be addressed and is being addressed. >> reporter: minneapolis under a mandatory curfew, but officials say they don't have the resources to contain the protests. the minnesota national guard is now being fully mobilized and the pentagon saying active duty army military police yubts are now under prepare to deploy orders for minneapolis. overnight at least 150 people arrested in new york city as protesters clashed with police. protests continuing today. in austin, indianapolis and denver. in wilmington, delaware, police headquarters surrounded. and in philadelphia hundreds flocking to city hall where they kneeled for nine minutes in memory

mr. floyd's wind pipe.e point you can even see him try to improve his position on him, he's kind of shifting his body weight to make sure he's pushing the most downward pressure he can possibly get. it e it's gruesome. but it sure does explain the conversation we're having and last night that conversation was in the form of fires in the streets and violence in the streets and an absolute explosion of anger. >> yes, sure, absolutely. the results of what we saw in the streets of minneapolis, you know last night, were p predictable, if you see that kind of disregard for human life, people have seen that video. it's on social media. the other thing i think about the kind of horrific reality, but people who become accustomed to seeing shooting deaths specifically of african-americans, we have seen the philando castille in minneapolis, and we have seen these things before, but i think it's also different that this video is seven or nine minutes long and it's just the entire agonizing process. the point at which a

mr. floyd's neck and mr. floyd is saying i can't breathe, it is so disturbing. god's name possibly could have been going through that officer's mind at that moment that a defense lawyer if anything at all would bring up and in terms of what happened here? your thoughts on that? >> i have to say, i've seen a lot of these tapes. and this one is unique to me in that usually even if there's a misjudgment you can at least understand what a defense of an officer would be. i really cannot justify what i saw on the tape at all. and i was early on ferguson saying i didn't think there was a prosecuteable case there. some of the other ones i've been skeptical of. this one is really unbelievable. i just don't know what the defense will be. i think the only defense i can see would be a medical defense that cause of death if it ends up being a heart problem or some kind of underlying condition which was probably triggered by what happened but not a asphyxiation, you could maybe argue the misconduct didn't cause the death. that was a horrifying scene and watching mr. floyd dei

mr. floyd's life but we're also becoming devastated because we're losing our grocery stores, we're losing our pharmacies and so we need to

mr. floyd's losing of his life. we will only solve it having all voices at the table, understanding and admitting, yes, this is a problem in america, and we have to be honest and open about it. >> what would you like to hear right now at this really sensitive, delicate, very dangerous moment in american history? you see what's going on here in the united states, on the streets of major cities right now. the coronavirus taking a toll of more than 103,000 americans in only three months. 40 million americans losing their jobs, filing for unemployment in the past ten weeks alone. what would you like to hear, attorney general, from the president of the united states? >> well, whether from the president or any of our leaders, all americans would like to hear a sense of empathy and connection and understanding that this is a moment of great pain and trauma in our country. for so many people. as you noted, there is a mirroriad mirroyriad of issues weighing in to increde crease the pain and trauma. every citizen deserves to

mr. floyd's case, and drive towards meaningful systemic change. it is about mr. floyd's case, but it's not only about his case and that's really what's driving most people, the overwhelming number of people, as you saw, but i wouldn't discount that there was some folks who are here for the cause of mischief. i have received those reports, but the fact is, i'm not going to let them obscure the righteous, noble cause of seeking justice for mr. floyd. >> and, again, i know i'm not in a position to prescribe percentages. lots and lots of people were outside and i'm one guy with a crew. most of whom i've spoken with over the last few days were talking about justice for mr. floyd. talking about exampling of poor relations between the police and individuals in african-american individuals in minneapolis and more broadly, one doesn't have to go for a few days without seeing some example of in is in the news. the idea the law is not applied to african-americans same was as to others and not applied to police who get involved with altercations with african-americans the way
