i'm attorney ben crump, along with attorney jeff storms, who hails here from minneapolis, minnesota, and attorney tony romanucci. we have the honor of representing the family of daunte wright. also attorney stone and rom nuccia and i along with attorney chris stewart and attorney justin miller have the honor of representing the family of george floyd jr. as you can see here, this is a bittersweet moment. it is somewhere gratifying that you have george floyd's family who left out of the courthouse where the derek chauvin trial regarding the death of george floyd was currently under way because they thought it was important they give comfort to daunte wright's mother and father and family, and daunte wright's child daunte jr. and his mother, china whitaker, because this time last year, almost a year ago, they were facing the unimaginable, they were facing the unbelievable, they were facing the agony of losing a family member to police excessive force. and it is unbelievable, i mean, it is just something i could not fathom that in minneapolis, minnesota, a suburb ten miles from where th

and they promoted him to a sergeant and he is the president of minnesota peace officers, minneapolisicers association. so that shows you what's ingrained in the culture of policing here in this state. and if you allow me to just say one more thing, make no mistake, the proud boys, the oath keepers, the 3 percenters, they have infiltrated police departments all across this state. so it's kind of like an ideal job for some of these white supremacists with this ideology. if they can infiltrate these police departments, that i can actually do exactly what you see happening to black men right now in this state. there is no way we have two back-to-back murders. we can't heal. we're trying to heal from george floyd, and here we are again with daunte. and that's why i said we'll be here again until we get what reform really looks like is not the peace officers association, like, telling us what it looks like. >> representative, yeah, i hear you on all that, which is why we wanted to give you the floor tonight. >> these are hard conversations to have. >> yeah. i have to -- my job here, i have

minnesota. a black man yesterday sparked protests last night, dante wright died after being shot by police after a traffic stop yesterday, ten miles away from minneapolise trial where derek chauvin is right now on trial. the minnesota national guard was deployed after hundreds gathered to protest. d dante wright's mother says her son called her as he was being pulled over. >> he said he was getting pulled over by the police. and i said why did you get pulled over. they said he got pulled over because he had air fresheners from the rearview mirror. his girlfriend answered and said he'd been shot. >> adrian broad des is there. >> reporter: we are at the brooklyn center police department. the press conference scheduled to start at noon. there's a little bit of a delay because they're still waiting on others to arrive here. i did speak with some community activists a short time ago who told me they were in meetings at city hall. it's unclear who they are meeting with and the big question this morning is what led to this incident. there's been a lot of outrage and fraustration here in brookln center. continuing to grow. outside of the police station where i

minnesota. not just minneapolis. >> the highest, the biggest-profile cases in history have come from the state of minnesota. philando castile. jamar clarke. george floyd. daunte wright. the biggest ones in history have come from this state. so, it is clear, that it is a problem here, in the state of minnesota. >> reporter: sara sidner, cnn, minneapolis. >>> joining me now is cheryl dorsey, a retired sergeant with the los angeles police. and the author of "black and blue, the creation of a social advocate." thanks so much for joining us. so, the -- the doj is investigating the minneapolis police department. during the obama administration, there are about-25 of these types of investigations. then, in the trump administration, the attorney general issued a directive, discouraging federal oversight of police agencies. so now, obviously, that policy, being reversed. but my question is do these types of federal probes into local-police departments, actually, lead to improvements? >> well, you know, they may behave during the time that there is a consent decree in place. or when, you know, agencies und

this is great irony about minneapolis or minnesota. you have a trial underway of a policeman who is being accused of killing a person, so the system is working. at this very moment, you have a whole new cycle where people say i'll go out in the streets, as you point out, rapidly deteriorates and begin to trash the local store, which is very often minority owned. begins to burn things down. we do not have to tolerate this as a society. we have to have the courage to stand up and say this is wrong and people will either go to jail or face very, very severe fines. >> laura: i don't think these mayors in the blue states have any credibility. they're way soft on this. they're empathizing with criminals. instantly thinking the worst of most police officers. so the police officers are not going to lose their livelihood, lose their pension. at some point they'll decide for what, newt? i'm going to stick my neck out there where i can be sued for everything i have? they can lose everything that they work for. and then they're thought of in the w
