of things number one there be a national police registry that means that police officers like derrick chauvin who had misconduct on his record would not only be taken off the streets but wouldn't be allowed to train rookie officers which is what he was doing when that video was shot it would also boost accountability and it would ban practices like chokeholds for arrests and would also and racial profiling and this is what communities of color black lives matter say is particularly a problem that there is a disproportionate number of african-americans people of color who are being roped up in these investigations in these accusations in these charges so this needs to change and one of the other big things that they're advocating for in all of this would be to have a level of accountability in terms. ending what's known as qualified immunity and what this means is that even if a family feels that there is something that the police officer has done wrong often they cannot sue in civil court because the police officers are protected by this blanket immunity that needs to change say a number of p

we're also learning that two of the former police officers charged in floyd's death turned on derrick chauvin who is the one that knelt on his neck. they say that they tried to stop him saying that he shouldn't do this or they shouldn't do this and asking chauvin repeatedly to roll him over. both of the officers were rookies. they were on the job for less than a week, chauvin though a 19 year veteran. let's talk about curfews. most of them have been lifted around the bay area but in a few cities they're still in effect. fremont's mayor says it will lift at 5:00 this morning here and vallejo and walnut creek and concord are still saying people stay inside from 8:00 p.m. 5:00 a.m. go to abc 7 news.com to find out if your city is on the list. >> a hate filled rant targeting peaceful protestors and demonstrators including children has shaken a northbay community. neighbors have rallied together for peace and to send the message that racism will not be tolerated. >> don't write all over our streets and let our kids see that there's hate involved. >> this now viral video coming from the community o

learning two of the former police officers charged in floyd's death have turned on former officer derrick chauvin. the officer that knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. they have been asking him repeatedly to roll floyd over. both of those are on the job for less than a week. chauvin is a 19 year veteran. >> thank you. happening today minneapolis city council members plan to vote on some of the first policing changes in the wake of george floyd's death. elected officials have been working to set new guidelines. they're expected to reveal what those could be later today. human rights officials are hoping to set a time line into whether the minneapolis police department engaged in racial discrimination over the past decade. >> the people protest against racism continue around the bay area. hundreds of people demonstrated their solidarity but the nationwide rally over the killing of george floyd. 200 people gather peacefully. several dozen people took part in a rally at city hall and then they marched to police headquaters and in san jose, willow glenn high school students held a rally in

i am here at the site where george boyd was killed by former officer and derrick chauvin and as you can see behind me there are a large crowd of people with here just trying to remember his a life you can also hear music people are grilling and handing out free food they're handing out free water there just how be that these 4 officers have been charged and of course they're waiting on at these convictions now just moments ago the city i'm now also it will ban a troll cold and it's basically requiring police to report and to intervene if they see any excessive use of force taking place now this is just one change that's come in the wake of george boyd's death but there are many more changes to come take a lot more. in the wake of george lloyd's death minneapolis city council has called an emergency meeting today to discuss possibly disbanding the police department reclaim the block and other grassroots community groups have been demanding this for years due to black and brown residents experiencing police brutality the city council president says they plan to replace the department with

essentially crowd control 3 others knelt on the back of george floyd and of course one of them derrick chauvin had his knee on the neck of floyd and that seems to have been what caused him to lose consciousness and later die so chauvin has been charged the others have not and that's part of why you have people out in the street here found people in minneapolis and of course as you heard mike hanna describe all over the country and here in minneapolis the goal i keep hearing from everyone i talked to is that they want all 4 of those officers to be arrested and charged with murder and then secondarily they want to see an end to incidents of police killing unarmed black men those are the demands and the people we've talked to here say they will stay in the street until they achieve them ok john hendren in minneapolis john thank you so in atlanta 2 police officers have been fired for using excessive force on protesters i a police surrounded a car and arrested a couple inside so the footage shows the police slashing their tires breaking the window and using a taser in the couple was not resisting t

because it's mentioned in the charging documents that prosecutors used to charge the police officer derrick chauvin and they said that there the police contributed to george floyd's death but they also said that it was not by its dixie asian and they mentioned that he had some underlying health conditions coronary artery to read artery disease in hypertension that is completely contradicted by the independent autopsy which says it was s. fixie ation and that in fact not only was it is fiction but that it wasn't just the officer with his knee on george floyd's neck that caused his death it was also those who put their knees on his back there were 3 officers who kneeled on george floyd just behind me there and that autopsy says that his lungs were compressed and that stopped air going to his brain also cutting off air through his neck having this same effect so this is going to be something it's going to be argued about in court and there will be competing sides taken on this absolutely and in the meantime of course we can see you know the protests are continuing in minneapolis and across the country

now as a debate over policing continues, the former officer at the center of the controversy, derrick chauvin will have his first court appearance via video link. the other three officer's attorneys are pointing to chauvin. we will wait and see what chauvin's defense strategy is. >>> the antiracism protests continue to gather momentum around the world. right there, a statue of a 17th century slave owner was toppled in england and thrown into the water. we'll continue to show you how people around the world are marking this moment in history. >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. you can start investing today wherever you are - even hanging with your dog. so, what are you waiting for? download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood. it's kind of my quiet, alone time. audible is a routine for me. it's like a fun night school for adults. i could easily be seduced into locking myself into a place where i do nothing but listen to books. i never was interested in historical fiction before, but i'm obsessed with it now. there are a lot of like, classic and big titles that i fe

charges against derrick chauvin have been upgraded from third degree to second degree felony murder. he's the one pinning floyd to the pavement. he kept him there. >> we got all four. >> demonstrators chanted we got all four after the other three former officers were charged with aiding and abetting second degree murder. floyd's death has exposed a raw nerve in this country. a huge march happened defying a curf curfew. portland, oregon, protesters were met with riot police and national guard troops. one of the many flash points has been at the trump white house. it has been pushing protesters further and farther away. we get the latest from cnn's alex marquadt. >> reporter: the large demonstrations have been focused for the past week on the white house. today this was as far as the demonstrators could come, pushed back even farther away from lafayette park. now about another half block away. still, protesters came in huge numbers peacefully chanting, taking a knee at times, singing, listening to music. a real party like atmosphere. at other times much more intense as they marched str

derrick chauvin, the man who kneeled on floyd's neck had his murder charge upgraded to second degree murder while the three former officers involved were arrested and charged with aiding and abetting murder. >> we are following the path of all of the evidence. wherever it leads. we are investigating as quickly as we can because speed is important. we're also investigating as thoroughly as we can because being complete and thorough is critically important, but it takes time. the reason thoroughness is important is because every single link in the prosecutal chain must be strong. it must be strong because trying this case will not be an easy thing. winning a conviction will be hard. in fact, county attorney freeman is the only prosecutor in the state of minnesota who has successfully convicted a police officer for murder. and he can tell you that it's hard. i say this not because we doubt our resources or our ability. in fact, we're confident in what we're doing. but history does show that there are clear challenges here. >> all right. let's get some reaction to this. joining me now fr

and derrick chauvin, former minneapolis police officer that put his neon floyd's neck for 8:46 leading to his death made his first court appearance today. a judge set bail at $1 million under certain conditions. the outrage sparked by floyd's death touched off a national debate over police reform in this country. today in washington congressional democratic leaders and members of the congressional black caucus held a moment of silence that lasted nearly nine minutes before they unveiled a sweeping police reform bill. the proposed bill does not shrink or expand police budgets but calls to defund or dramatically cut police funding or get rid of police departments all together are being voiced by activists and some elected officials. sunday, new york city mayor bill de blasio vowed to cut police funding the first time, though he didn't say behow much. last week, los angeles mayor eric garcetti proposed cutting up to $150 million from his city's budget. president trump met with law enforcement officials at the white house after tweeting this morning he wanted, quote, law and order. he lash

the officer derrick chauvin was charged friday with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. three other officers who were also at the scene have been fired but not charged. down withm held them the other acting as a lookout. george floyd's memorial service is planned for thursday in minneapolis and his funeral is scheduled for next tuesday in houston. meanwhile, nbc news reports that minneapolis police records show officers usesed neck restraintns over 230 times over the last five years and made at l least 4 people unconscious. in other news, louisville, kentntucky, police chief steve conrad has been fired after it emerged two officecers who weret the scene of a fatal shooting early mondayay morningng did not have their body cameras activated -- a violalation of police department policy. both police and the e national guard fired shots at a crowd on monday, which killed david mcatee, whose bobody then reportrtedly lay in the streetsf louisvsville for over r 12 hour. david mcatee owned a lococal barbececue business and wawas a beloved figure in the community who regularly ga

misconduct police registry something that would have been valuable for a police officer like derrick chauvin who had many misconducts on his record and yet was still out training other police officers so they say this needs to change the practice of chokeholds that is something that needs to be abolished and also the end of racial profiling and also something called qualified immunity that means essentially if you have an issue you want to resolve in the courts right now you can in a civil case charge a police officer or sued him or her so as a result these are all things that they say need to be changed so this is something this legislation will be addressing we should point out there's also going to be the important hearing this week and we'll be hearing from george floyd's brother so it's going to be an emotional week as the democrats try to really build on the momentum that we've seen on the streets now take it to the legislative level the man who lives in the house behind you kimberly i wonder about his reaction i'm thinking in the past he talked to police officers and saying they shoul

i think also the relationship between george floyd and derrick chauvin, at thwhere they both worked, it will take both coming out and seeking and the last thing i want to add, the necessary part of what an officer was supposed to do, officer lane pulled a weapon when george floyd was sitting in the car. that was in the initial charge report. so we see that these, and the fact as you point out, there was no resuscitation at all. even the ambulance, when they arrived didn't attempt to resuscitate. i mean the system failed george floyd on every level. but then web dubois says the system was never meant to protect us in the first place and that's what we're seeing here. the system failing after 400 years of failure. >> gloria, laura coats, thank you, appreciate it. >>> coming up, retired marine corps general james mattis, the president's first defense secretary breaking his silence weighing in on how he believes the president, mad daus mattis, the president loved to kaug him and talking about how the president is dividing and misusing the nation's armed forces. we will talk about that. a

last 10 days have been centered on getting the 3 other officers charged in upping the charges of derrick chauvin the officer whose knee was on the neck of george floyd as he died so the response has been positive people say that they feel like their voices are being heard but they're also quick to point out that the protest won't stop the justice hasn't been served until not only are these officers convicted but there are broad and sweeping changes across the nation in the way policing is carried out so they say that it will all continue but it will pause at least briefly today for a memorial service the 1st of several for floyd it will take place here on the campus of north central university there is a worship center just behind us that's where floyds families friends his loved ones will gather across the street there is a park and in that park giant video screens thousands expected to gather there to pay their respects as well all of this coming just hours after the new charges against the $3.00 officers and the charges against chauvin now look to be another memorial that will come this weeke

for 8 minutes and 46 seconds that is the amount of time that former minneapolis police officer derrick chauvin had his knee on george floyd's neck and the morial service was piped through on loudspeakers that you could hear here on the campus of north central university and a nearby park and for almost 9 minutes activity in that park seemed to freeze as people stood and remained silent but a picture did emerge a portrait of george floyd a brother a father a grandfather a friend and an uncle 2 of his brothers spoke and recalled a brother who was beloved who they said was a quote alpha male an athlete an athletic man who was beloved by many one who was a rabid le bron james fan. but against all of this the speakers continue to underscore the deep rooted racism in the united states that had contributed in their minds to his death one of the speaker said that george floyd died of a pandemic of racism and discrimination the floyd family attorney also said that for too long there have been 2 justice systems in the united states one for white people and one for black but he felt that the chance for c

initial goals has been met and that was they wanted all 4 officers to face serious charges and derrick chauvin and usually faced a 3rd degree murder charge which is pretty serious but now that has been upgraded to 2nd degree murder and essentially the difference between that is a maximum sentence of 25 years or a maximum sentence of 40 years and i talked to a number of people who said they're satisfied that shows that people have been listening to what they've had to say but that is just an initial step what they want beyond that is an end to the kind of systematic racism that they say police across the u.s. have been engaging in and that's why these names are so important the names of people who have died most of them african-americans at the hands of the police and you can see that spirits are high here but. there is a sense of progress but people are not you're saying that's why we should end approach to these protests and saying that's why the protests need to go on because they've shown some results so there is a sense of of happiness that something is happen. here but they say this is ju

the upgraded charges against derrick chauvin and the charges against the three other police officersething you're hearing that it's not enough? >> well, all of that is true. both it's not enough and there is quite a bit of catharsis here and relief. a lot of people we've been speaking with here, nicole, they're surprised these upgraded charges took so long. when that finally happened yesterday, even though the floyd family had been asking for first-degree murder, they took it as an acknowledgment they finally had been heard. as you heard zoey schafer say yesterday, it's not enough. they view it as a first step. i think with reverend al calling for the march on washington in august, there's a sense it's not over but it is is a significant first step. and, nicole, i can tell you even in the last few days since i've been here more than a week now, there has been such a huge shift in tone from anger and the outrage and the looting and the burning that we saw last week in minneapolis. it is now a more somber stone. a celebratory tone. a tone that honors the life of 46-year-old george floy

officer derrick chauvin who has since been rightfully fired spent about three minutes ignoring floyd's cries of pain. refusing to move his knee from floyd's neck, refusing to let up, to get up, even as the man under him begged for life and lost consciousness. then he spent roughly another six minutes after floyd had fallen silent, ignoring the growing number of witnesses who begged him to see the obvious, that the man under his knee was unresponsive, that he was dying. as a mom, there are not words to describe the visceral, gut-wrenching feeling of hearing someone cry out for their mother in a moment of such desperation. george floyd's death was unnecessary and heart breaking. it was a tragedy but horrifyingly it was not an anomaly. from eric garner who told us six years ago that he, too, could not breathe to tamir rice who never made it to his 13th birthday, the senseless killing of unarmed black americans at the hands of law enforcement has become an all-too-common occurrence. the horror of the moment, then the outrage and sadness and, yes, anger that follow have turned into a patter

one i know defends derrick chauvin and no one i know doesn't have sympathy for george floyd and his family. without saying. the question is, what can we do to prevent this sort of thing in the future? personally believe the part of the problem stems from the close big city ip that governments have with the local unions. was roduced a bill when i in the state lengislature about 13 years ago making it easier to an underperforming policeman and that bill went nowhere, as most of these bills nowhere, because very few people are willing to take on the unions. hat being said, when i introduced a bill, i did expect it to save lives and pass and i expected it to save black lives expected it to save white lives. ok. right now you can google heather mcdonald. she's pretty good on this issue. irst of all, the number of lives lost in which an unarmed person was shot by a police fallen in the last lives to 28 om 70 lives, which is a good step in the right direction. it doesn't mean we shouldn't do more. should do more. the second thing i'll point out violent djusted for crime, actually a higher percent

let's begin in minneapolis, where ex-officer derrick chauvin, the man who pressed his knee into the necke floyd for nearly nine minutes is being arraigned on a number of charges, including second degree murder. also in houston, a public viewing for george floyd is under way. ahead of a funeral in his hometown tomorrow. and former vice president joe biden traveled to houston to meet privately with floyd's family, to offer his condolences. but again, let's start right there in minneapolis, where derek chauvin's court appearance is happening right now, and joining me is nbc news reporter shaquille brewster who has been there since the very beginning. shaq, the appearances happening right now, what should we expect? >> yes, that's right, the appearances ongoing right now, we know former officer chauvin will be appearing via video conference on a video conference stream. he won't be in court directly, and we know he's being charged with three counts right now. originally, he had that count of third degree murder. that was upgraded to second degree murder and second degree manslaughter. we're

terms of telling the world what the infractions were but on the other hand, ray come on, i mean derrick chauvind have known that that maybe -- there was some problems there, before he comes face-to-face with an innocent man, and sticks his knee on his neck for eight minutes. >> when a police department hires someone worked in another police department you do vetting you go to this former police department. you ask for the record that happens all the time there are exceptions. they have been exceptions but i think minimal, obviously, any employer going to hire somebody looks back at record of the individual. so you know, i think about chicken soup i don't think can hurt but i don't think it is a major problem. maria: new york state senate assembly repealing a law previously shielded police officers disciplinarian records ray will officers be targeted if those records made public? that was a point rudy giuliani made yesterday. >> well, we are going to see, actually, this law was in effect the one just passed was in effect until five years ago. so police records were public information. then inter

was minnesota senator amy klobuchar who tweeted within the last hour that the charges against derrick chauvinthe police officer who put his knee on floyd's neck and kept it there, have been elevated to second degree murder. he had been charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. the charges will be filed against the other three officers involved in floyd's death, something protesters across our country have demanded. the "minneapolis star tribune" saying they will be charged with aiding and abetting murder. we're waiting to hear officially from the attorney general keith ellison who has been appointed by the governor, as well as the governor himself, tim walz. a short time ago crump family attorney -- i'm sorry -- floyd family attorney benjamin crump issued this statement, quote, this is a significant step forward on the road to justice, and we are gratified that this important action was brought before george floyd's body was laid to rest. he went on to say we encourage attorney general ellison to continue his investigation, and we hope and expect to see the charges ultimately upgrade

derri derrick can chauf vderek chauvi arrested four days after chauvin could be seen kneeling on theeck of floyd for nearly 9:40. chauvin is being held in the ramsey county jane and faces a maximum sentence of 25 years under the third degree murder charge. chauvin is the first whites officer in minnesota history to be arrested for the death of a black man. jay, there have been calls to upgrade the charges against the former officer involved in george floyd's death. in addition, calls to charge the three additional officers that stood over george floyd as chauvin had the knee on floyd's neck. there was one standing above him, two others restraining his legs. what has been the response from officials so far as to the possibility of this happening? >> well, yasmin, they say -- and good to talk to you again, that those options are open and they'll go to where the evidence takes them. more likely they say more charges will come against those other officers who were involved in the incident. but, again, there are many protesters you talk to here, peaceful protesters. there are many of them

charges the charges former minneapolis police officer derrick shaaban with murder in the 2nd degree for the death of george floyd for officer derek chauvin who was seen with his knee on george floyd's neck the charge was increased from 3rd degree murder to 2nd degree alleging floyd's death was intentional it's the same day i'm going to make a different they are listening to the people we ask it for me in a global we have to fork over it those are the opposite and they were minnesota's attorney general announced charges for the involvement of the other 3 officers in floyd's fatal arrest of filed a complaint that charges police officer king lane in town with aiding and abetting murder in the 2nd degree for floyd's family it was the justice they've been demanding. i'm happy to all of the been arrested. my boss had nothing to light which is a just let mention. live issue. but for many now it is just a beginning. george floyd family and the protesters have achieved their short term objectives but their long term goals are systematic change they're here today for george floyd so they don't have to be here tomorrow for someone else as one city
