and you heard that from benjamin crump and from the reverend. at the same time, the bail hearing today, the lawyers for the three assisting officers who have now been charged, they all attacked the strength of the government's case, right? they say chauvin was on the force for a long time, he outranked the others. one of them had only been on the force for six months. how effective do you think those arguments could be in terms of getting those other three officers, who now finally have been charged because of these protests around the country, off the hook? >> well, it will all depend on how this plays out to a jury. and of course, a jury trial won't be immediate. it will happen some time in the future. maybe even a year in the future. and a lot will depend on whether the jury receives the understanding that the chain of command is something that these officers are trained to not only observe, but to follow at great pain. and so i think it was an effective strategy for the defense, an expected strategy to the defense to make clear that officer

now, you heard from the family attorney, benjamin crump -- he was actually confident that we would see charges against these officers before we saw any memorial services here in minneapolis on thursday. again, we have not seen if we are going to see charges against the other officers in this, but that is the confidence that the family attorney is feeling right now. and a few moments ago, i spoke to the governor here at this site as he visited, and he told us, simply, the stakes are so high in this. we don't get another chance to get this right was the exact words that he said to me, indicating that, look, the entire eyes of the country and even the world are looking at minnesota right now to see what the consequences are going to be for officers in a cell phone video that, clearly, the entire world has seen, that seemed to plainly show a knee on the neck of george floyd and a situation where, at least autopsy reports that we have seen, two of them, say it was a homicide. so, there is a lot of pressure here, ayou mentioned before you came to me, on attorney general keith ellison here in

you heard there benjamin crump saying this is torture. and for his son to have to stand here and talk about his father's death, thank you. i know this is really hard. i do. i do. i know this hurts. to for his son to listen to this and the family has been very clear that they really are thankful for the support, but they are a peaceful family and a prayerful family and that george floyd with never have wanted any of the madness that has happened. but they want justice. they want peace on one hand and justice on the other. and right now it appears that they're starting to get some of the things they've been asking for in the form of legal charges against these four officers. people have been waiting here fore -- for days to see other three officers charged because the sentiment in the streets is and the sentiment from the family is if this had been reversed and the people who were officers had been civilians doing this, everybody would have been charged. no waiting. no questioning. now, they would have been taken to jail, charges would have

kneeling on his back and one standing by doing nothing to protect him and then we heard from benjamin crump who read out a litany of the names of african-americans who have died at the hands of police many of them represented by crump himself as a civil rights lawyer then al sharpton continued the civil rights message as you said oh talking about all of the difficulties that black americans have had over the past 400 years and he said as centrally that america had held its collective need over the neck a lack of america that it held them back in areas that education it professionally made really as you said every aspect of american life even read that verse from ecclesiastic these 3 and said trump should open that book in here there's a time for everything and a season for every purpose under heaven and then he went on later to say now is the time for transformative change in america this kind of event that happened to george floyd that happened to trayvon martin in florida that happened to look wand mcdonald in chicago and so many other people eric garner in new york whose mother is here t

then we heard from benjamin crump who talked about the impact of the video. he called it torture about what he had to go through and the eulogy from reverend al sharpton. he wants to capture this activism this spirit we're seeing, he wants to get tangible police reform. that mood is what you see at the site where george floyd was killed. it was a private service for family, friends and invited guests but you had a hundred of people outside of the service and then the family came by and visited the memorial and spoke to people here, thanked them for their support. that's the feeling that you continue to have. as that was going on, just before the memorial service as you mentioned we saw the officers in court for first time. three of the four former minneapolis police department officers charged for their involvement in the death of george floyd were arraigned in court. the bond as you mentioned was set at a minimum of $750,000. brian, it's a lot going on, but definitely an emotional day for not only the george floyd family but people in the community who wante

tuesday there will be a proper funeral with this family the reverend al sharpton will be there benjamin crump the civil rights attorney who has represented his family will be there as well but the rest of the agenda has been kept quiet and it specifically says on the invitation that they will not tell us any more about who might be there but did learn today that joe biden former vice president and current presidential candidate will speak in a video but he's not going to be there in person and the family was concerned that that might the security arrangements for him might be disrupted but there will be a final service and that will be concluded with a funeral where he will be buried next to his mother i guess we can joan guess ahead of time well mr biden might say in that video address presumptive democratic candidate for the presidency come the general election then. al sharpton not known for pulling his punches but will be an interesting thing to sit with and to listen through as well when he takes to the podium because this is the hottest political issue in the united states for a long lo

but they were reminded by george floyd's son and by the floyd family attorney, benjamin crump that you can't celebrate something like this because this doesn't mean justice. it just means charges. and a lot of people know that over the years a lot of times when these charges are brought up that the officers actually end up not being convicted. and that's the way the justice system goes and juries decide. but in the mind of the family, they want to see, of course, a conviction. and so they told everyone to hold steady, be peaceful, but not to completely throw up their hands and say okay we've done something here. certainly we've seen now charges for all four of the officers including a more severe charge for derek chauvin, the fired officer who you see there with his knee on the neck of george floyd for more than 7 minutes. but you are also getting charges, he's being charged with second degree murder and manslaughter as opposed to third degree murder and manslaughter. now the officers on the scene, a couple of them who were kneeling down on george floyd's back or near george floyd who

the floyd family coming through the family attorney benjamin crump who is saying this is a bittersweet moment for the family and they are glad that minnesota attorney general keith ellison has decided to take this step. now we're still waiting the official press conference that we're expecting at some point this afternoon. we're expecting to hear from a combination of either the attorney general or the governor tim walz. and unofficially when this news was coming down, this broke in the local newspaper citing anonymous sources about half an hour ago and at that time here in minneapolis there were already cheers here at the site, ground zero for where george floyd had his final moments unfold. again just a little over a week ago at this point. and now here we are half an hour later seeing this confirmation at least through a tweet from senator amy klobuchar and that is when the protesters have wanted all along. not just charged for against officer derek chauvin seen in the cell phone video with his knee on george floyd's neck but charges for all of the officers as well, brianna. >> and

we learned today from floyd family benjamin crump who has been assured charges will be filed against the three other officers involved. in addition to derek chauvin charged with third degree manslaughter. we heard the first public comments from george floyd's sister. >> he will never see her grow up, graduate. he will never walk her down the aisle. if it's a problem she's having and she needs her dad, she does not have that any more. >> andrew crump joins us with gloria brown moore shawl, constitutional professor, race, law and american society, 1607 to present. >>> mr. crump, do you have any updates on if and when authorities may charge the other officers and do you have any sense of what they would be charged with? >> anderson, we believe that there will be charges of the other three officers before george floyd is laid to rest. we think that these officers were complicit, but not just complicit base. based on our independent autopsy, the knees in the back of the other officer was just as significant to the knee in the neck. and so we think all of them should be charged with some t

benjamin crump, i believe. what are you hearing from him? >> reporter: look, he says that the family is relieved that there has been an upgrade, if you will, a stronger charge against officer, former officer chauvin. also that they are happy to see that charges have been meted out against the other three officers. they have learned about these charges, that they had already put into the court documents, learned about it a little bit earlier than the announcement. they also said something interesting here, jake, and it should be relayed to the public, and that is that they've been having conversations with the attorney general's office and they have told them that if they see more evidence to point to a stronger crime i.e. first-degree murder, that they will charge that. and the family has been assured that if they are able, if prosecutors are able to get and see enough evidence that they will lift that charge again against officer chauvin and potentially against the other officers. they were pleased to hear that there were charges against th

i spent some time talking to benjamin crump a few hours ago. of course, mr. crump, the attorney for the family. and i asked him what we could expect from this memorial service. he said it is not just going to be remembering the life of a 46-year-old father of two. it is going to be talking about how his life in his death has become so much more than any one could have imagined. you look out at the crowd here in minneapolis, the crowd here looks a lot like the protest crowds over the country. it's quite striking. young, old, black, white. it is a diverse intoduced to say the least. that has been one of the things most striking about these protests. a man dies in police custody in minneapolis and it sparks protests in salt lake city, utah, in florida. in literally every state in this country. protests the like we have not seen in our lifetime. there will be a fair amount of focus on moving forward, using his death as a rallying cry to change police tactics specifically. we know that reverend al sharpton will be delivering the eulogy. we are told a number of act
