paul's mayor melvin carter earlier today about his city's next steps in the aftermath of the death of george floyd. mr. mayor, i want to ask, what's the situation now? what have you learned from the events of last night? >> the situation now continues to be an extreme amount of emotion, an extreme amount of frustration and of anger around the wrongful killing of george floyd and certainly around the fact that we are still looking for some certainty that not just one, but all four of the officers who were responsible for his death will be held legally accountable. we asked our residents yesterday for a major thing, and that was through this curfew to stay home, to give us an opportunity to isolate the individuals who were hoping to do destruction to our neighborhoods, to separate those folks from the peaceful protesters. we really appreciate the work of our neighbors to stay home and in that to choose to channel this extreme sorrow and trauma that we've all been through, this extreme energy that we have right now, not into destroying our neighborhoods, but into building a better world

melvin carter joins us now.. >> thank you for having me on. >> you announced on friday, you signed onto a campaign called eight can't wait, it's eight recommendations for reducing police violence and you said police reform starts with hiring. here's a quick clip of you making that point. >> if you have to train someone not to do the things we've seen these officers do on these videos they don't belong on a police department in the first place so it starts with how we hire officers, starts with who we hire. >> is hiring the top recommendations? what's the one most vital change you want to see implemented now, is it something from eight can't wait or something else? >> thank you for the question. i'll say the recommendations in eight can't wait i think are in many ways a minimum standard we need to hold ourselves accountable to. many of the things are things we did two years ago when i first came into office. we are making two specific changes just to call out two things we wanted to be more clear on. but that sai

we're joined by mayor of saint paul, melvin carter. mayor carter, thanks so much. members of the minneapolis police department write in an open letter, derek chauvin failed as a human and stripped george floyd of his dignity and life. this is not who we are. what is your response to this letter and how is it being received in the twin cities community? >> that letter states the obvious, wolf. i don't know how you can have a basic sense of humanity and do what he did for as long as he did it with just the casual demeanor, with your hand in your pocket in that way. i think that letter reflects the appalled nature, the rage, the frustration, and the trauma that our entire community, and as we're seeing, our entire country is feeling as a result that have video. >> we just learned today, mayor, former police officer derek chauvin could still receive his pension even if he's convicted in george floyd's murder. does that sound like justice to you? >> of course it doesn't sound like justice to me. and this digs right into the fact that our police unions, those police unio

let's bring in the mayor, melvin carter. wanted to talk to you about remarkable scenes in your city. let me get your reaction to this breaking news that keith ellison, the attorney general will increase the charges against apparently charge the other three officers also. >> that's very absolutely critical. everybody knows the basic job of a police officer is to help when people are hurting. so when we look at this video and see the officer committing this gross atrocity against humanity, against george floyd, when we see that video of his murder, there's also a wrong doing there. i heard people say the officer that did nothing. that's inaccurate. the officers assisted, helped hold him down, guarded the scene while it happened and it's unacceptable as well. all four month be charged and held accountable for their actions. >> dana: do you believe these additional charges will help the peaceful protesters feel like they've been heard and that justice is on the way and perhaps help quell the violence as well? >> i think these ch

paul, the other half of the twin city, melvin carter. you heard what george floyd's brother had to say. how important is that message of peace right now? >> that's absolutely important. we're talking to our residents, our community about that concept of peace. but i want to be really clear. we're not asking people for patience. we're not asking people to wait on the sidelines while we sort of slowly and incrementally stem this tide of black men we've seen killed by police. his point was exactly right. we have to channel our energy into ways that will honor george floyd, that will help us make sure that the world hears that he should still be alive today, that those roofficers, the fourf them who took his life had v to be held accountable and we have to make sure this never happens again. we have people in our city who have known that and are doing that the whole time. their voices have been drowned out. i spent yesterday sitting on the street in front of the governor's residence with thousands of folks who understand the power of peacefu

paul, minnesota, melvin carter. he testified before the committee yesterday on police reform and tracy keese. i want to start with you. republicans unveiling their plan in the next couple of minutes. what do you hope it includes? what's the priority? >> there's so many priorities, bang choke holds that a particular proposal has to address, historical, structural issues that black communities have been experiencing and policing forever. and so it really needs to be comprehensive. and when we look at, for example, what was offered up in the executive order yesterday, just the tone and the perspective from where some of these things are coming from is concerning. when you identify what we consider to be instances of misconduct, that is not the experiences of black communities. and so i'm hoping that we see not just banning of choke holds, that we do see national databases where we can look at where officers have been fired and where they're try iing to g and there's a clearing house for people to know who they shouldn'

paul, minnesota, melvin carter. mayor carter, it is great to have you with us this morning.ll us about the demonstrations in your city last night and how different did they look from demonstrations, say, a few days ago or a week ago? >> thanks for having me on. yes, i was at the memorial service yesterday and it was a beautiful and heart-felt service. you know, we have seen a number of demonstrations across our city over the past few days, and we are really appreciative that our residents, that our activists, that our community members who are just understandably heart broken, as i am, about the devastating video showing george floyd's brutal an unnecessary murder, that we have decided i think as a community to channel this energy into constructive efforts to make the world better and try to prevent this from happening again. >> mayor carter, some of our viewers may not know a couple of things. number one, that you were the first african-american mayor of st. paul, minnesota. number two, you are the son of a police officer. so what have those conversations been like over the

melvin carter saying that most of those arrested friday were out-of-state.ation was not true. in fact some of the data suggests that most of those who were arrested on friday night in the minneapolis protest were from minneapolis itself. nonetheless jack dorsey retweeting this tweet and this information. that sparked a whole lot of criticism online. they say if you're going to fact check the u.s. president, maybe the twitter ceo needs to be fact checked as well. jack dorsey said he, he i am heavily alone was responsible for the new twitter policy. he should get all the blame if there were any. all talking about ayatollah on twitter asking for destruction of israel, armed resistance and jihad. these tweets were not shielded from the public as trump's minneapolis tweets and twitter said they had to shield some tweets because they feared violence. twitter said they were not going to hide any of president trump's shall we say facebook posts. they actually set up, and upset a few of the facebook employees this weekend. so we had, mark zuckerberg facebook founder,

melvin carter joins me now thanks for your time first of all, how are folks there in saint paul doing now? >> thank you for having me on. folks in saint paul, just like folks across the country are traumatized right now. we are, i think, doubly traumatized as we're in the midst of this covid-19 pandemic, as 40% of low income workers lost their job in the economic realities this year before george floyd was killed. of course we all woke up a week ago tomorrow to that gruesome, shocking video of seeing the way his life was literally snuffed out by those officers. a number of folks were traumatized by that. we have the same anger, the same rage, the same sadness as we have all over the country, which i want to point out is really the only human and compassionate response when you see someone killed in such a fashion like that we have implemented, as many other cities have, a citywide curfew in doing so, our invitation to our residents was to channel that pain, channel that energy into doing something constructive for our community as we've seen around the country, we have two groups oper
