being handled. the police department acted pretty swiftly, firie ining the officers involved. we heard from the protesters, the mayor of minneapolis and the family of george floyd saying they want to see more done, they want criminal charges to be filed. and as you can imagine, it is a tense and emotional time for this community here. maybe for no one more than the family of george floyd himself, listen to how his family is describing what these moments have been like for them. >> it was hard. i had to watch the video. and as i watch the video, those four officers, they executed my brother. the paramedics, they drug him across the ground without administering cpr and showed no empathy, no compassion, nobody out there showed it, nobody. i grew up with him. that was my oldest brother. i loved him. i'm never going to get my brother back. we need justice. we need justice. those four officers need to be arrest arrested. >> reporter: it is a pain being felt not just by the family, but by this community and in many places across the country and in the world. maybe none more significa

act accordingly. the police department know they can be 30 the police officers if they don't if they don't try to control that one bad officer it makes them all so they are just as responsible in my family because they didn't stop there. minutes of having his knee on his neck so they didn't stop and so they just it's lots of. what do you make of the way the police have handled the protests so far in your city and indeed across the country. i think the chicago police department on doing a very best they can but the situation is going on now there's a lot of opportunists just breaking into stores that has nothing to do with the death. of mr flowing and the. best is taking away too meaning what was going on with police brutality and all and the reason why calling karen a male male at the. at the football games and the reason why people on just said it to police to farm. but to chicago police are probably going to very best they can ask people come from what were you when you look in stores and burning store that has nothing to do with the movement tried to gain some consciousness so what were the movements

this, it is george floyd, not just how he died, but how this is being handled in the aftermath of his death. the police department acted swiftly. firing the four officers involved here, but the family says that's not enough. protesters say that's not enough. and now the mayor of minneapolis saying that's not enough. they want to see criminal charges filed in this as -- for the mayor saying the arresting officer. we'll wait and see how that investigation plays out here, but when you look at these images, this, again, is the striking one that stands as the sprinklers fall, on an empty grocery store, doors completely ripped off to the side, and in some ways highlighting the anger that is in this community and in places across the country again over how this has been handled, moving forward, the mayor has obviously advised against this and wanted people to stay away from going into, and, again, rioting in some of these places. one thing i heard from people going by here is saying, now do we have your attention? that seems to be the sentiment that many people have, even as they get criticism for going into this extra step,

and not officers and their acts right for a police department you would think that it would start with accountability within their own ranks but that so often doesn't seem to be the case. no and i think you have a lease unions a lot less leeway in these proceedings to plead the case of these officers so that if there is no sort of civilian oversight and then we have juries who are willing to believe that the officer is fears again a last few years trumps the rights of the citizens to be walking around breathing right now it creates a really negative feedback loop because all these offices really do multiple tasks and get slapped on the wrist maybe they're fired but that doesn't prevent them from getting jobs and other places we saw this when 12 year old to be arrest was murdered a police officer doug police officer who killed him was able to get other employment as a police officer after this murder and to be employed in that particular precinct after it was said he with elite quit for the art that so it happens oh you know the troubling event indeed and here because we do appreciate your perspective on this thank you so much for joining us thank you for havi

police accountability act, which allowed the department of justice jurisdiction to bring charges, the grand jury formats, cooling off period, elimination act, stop militarizing law enforcement act. how much of this can be done at a federal level, versus what a lot of places like minneapolis and a lot of other cities say is a municipal problem? it's a municipal policing problem? it's the, in this case, the attorney and the county attorney for the county that said things all week unsatisfactory to people about bringing charges against this police officer? is this a prop or an everywhere problem? >> it's a problem everywhere. killings of black people are taking place across the country in various jurisdictions. over 18,000 local jurisdictions in this country. 50 states. each one of them chooses to deal with the issue of police accountability in a different way, and oftentimes, and most of the times, it's ineffective for holding police accountable for what they do, and so the police accountability act, the grand jury format and the cooling off period elimination act as well as the stop militarizing law enforcement act, all of those put together would help to level the playing field. it would ensure that wh
