present we have the brothers of george flor for loan as flor turned flor rodney floor as well as brandon williams. we have his cousins, sharita tate and tara brown. and we know at home prayer, we have his sisters, bridget flores, john flores, and latania flores. and certainly his beautiful daughter, chris tells me, is looking smile. i'm saying that her daddy changed the world and he will talk more about that later on. and we want to acknowledge all his family. we want to acknowledge, oh, of the people who use their boys to say his name. so i have 909. today represent from opportunity to be a turning point in america. this is the longest set of tests that a police officer has ever been sensitive to in the history of the state of minnesota. but this should not be the exception. when a berg person is kill barbara, italy by police, it should be the norm. and so when we think about real justice, real justice would be circuit at georgia floor. we're still be here with his family . so what we got today was some measure of accountability. and we understand that there are still federal charges pending. so

and so even the statement of one of his nephews brandon williams, who said our family is ever broken. so it wouldn't have mattered how many years. and it doesn't matter that it's just show them because again, it's not about a bad apple, but it is about the system of policing. and so that is the work that will continue because for black people in this country for brown, people in this country, we know that one conviction will not. and the killing right. there is a question of impunity here that, that, that abuse of power that was referred to as an aggravating factor in this case that, that is something that is systemic. we were speaking earlier to professor ronald sullivan about the importance of police reform. that has been a bipartisan agreement over this bill in congress. but we don't have any of the details. how important is it to see a fundamental change in policing in the united states? that is key. we can't keep going down this road having these cases and think that one case is going to change everything. instead we need sleeping reform. first of all, we have to be able to reduc

but i do want to play part of brandon williams' statement. he's the nephew of george floyd. >> the sudden murder of george traumatized us. you may see us cry, but the pain will never be seen with a naked eye. the heartbreaking hurt goes far beyond any number of tears we could ever cry. words simply cannot express the pain, the anguish and suffering that our family and friends have endured since george's murder. >> obviously nothing will end the pain. obviously nothing will make up for the loss. but does the sentencing today, in your view, bring any sort of closure? >> i think, listening to my colleagues talk about the sentencing and how it could've been heavier, i do think that that is an important thing to weigh in terms of how the family's managing all of this. but at the same time part of healing is accountability. and so i really believe that the accountability piece is what's important. so the fact that he's going to jail or prison at all, i think does bring a level of healing. but to the young man what he said, we will never know the fu

and on behalf of the prosecution team, we want to thank the floyd family, brandon williams, terrence floyd -- philoniese floyd, and gigi, who gave their testimony to the court and gave their heart-felt feelings about the impact of this horrific crime on their family. we heard for the first time from george floyd's 6-year-old daughter. what a delightful, beautiful child. and my heart to the entire floyd family as they explain to her what happened to him when she grows up. 270 months, 22 1/2 years, is one of the longest a former police officer has ever received for an unlawful use of deadly force. like the conviction of derek chauvin two months ago, today's sentencing is not justice, but it is another moment of real accountability on the road to justice. it's difficult to see anyone lose their freedom, but seeing somebody lose their life through torture over 9 1/2 minutes is incomparably worse. those minutes seconds, are seared into the minds of people across the world who watched george floyd died. above all, the heroic people who stopped and bore witness to george floyd's suffering a

and essentially, what they said was encapsulated in the words of brandon williams that said, "we got justice, just not enough justice or can -- not enough justice." reverend sharpton said this was a road stop on the road to full justice. the african americans killed and mistreated by police unjustly, full justice would not be achieved. and we have the brother of george floyd that came out and said there are good and bad police officers. this was terrence floyd. there are good and bad police officers, but we shouldn't have to sort out who is who. a number of family members and attorneys who spoke, here is a little of what they had to say. >> what are you asking about? >> i was asked how did my dad get hurt. >> do you wish that he was still with us? >> yeah. he is. >> through his spirit? >> yes. >> and when you see your daddy again one day, what do you want to do when you see him? >> i want to play with him. >> what were you thinking? what was going through your head? when you had your knee on my brher's neck. when he posed no threat anymore. when he was handcuffed. why didn't you get

brandon williams, terrence, and gigi who offered their testimony to the court and gave their heartfeltcrime on theirfamily. we heard about the impact of this horrific crime on their family. we heard for the first time from george floyd's six—year—old daughter. but even been a full, beautiful child and my heart really is that the entire family as they figure out how to explain to her what happened as she grows up. the sentence that the courtjust imposed on derek chavin. 22 and a half years is one of the longest a former police officer has ever received for an unlawful use of deadly force. like the conviction of derek chavin two months ago. today plus plus sentencing is notjustice. but it is another moment of real accountability on the road to justice. it's difficult to see anyone lose their freedom. seeing somebody lose their life through torture of a nine and a half minutes is incomparably worse. those minutes in seconds are in a race to be seared into the minds of people across the world who watch george floyd die. above all, they have all the people who stopped and bore witness to ge

and so even the statement of one of his nephews brandon williams, who said our family is forever broken. so it wouldn't matter how many years. and it doesn't matter that it's just show them because again, it's not about a bad apple, but it is about the system of policing. and so that is the work that will continue because for black people in this country for brown people in this country, we know that one conviction will not, and the killing ah, now us president joe biden has met his afghan counterpart. i should have gone at the white house as us troops replied to leave afghanistan after 20 years of war, bite and cold. the 2 lead is old friends at washington support for afghan. his son was not ending despite the true withdrawal gone. he said he respected biden's decision that the partnership between the countries is entering a new phase worker. afghans are going to have to decide their future what they, what they want, what they want, but it won't be for lack of us being help as you can be in a sense, as violence has to stop. but it's going to be very difficult. but we're going to stick

i'm george floyd's nephew, brandon williams says the murders been devastating for the family. although sober will be sent in today and spend time prison. he will have less rios in his family again. talk until he will likely get to spend time with him upon his release. these are our luxury that my younger than giana arrived. michele, that made the made the act, the decision to kill her father. there'll be no more birthday parties, no graduations, holiday gatherings, other family celebrations, the laughter herbs, guidance, advice since the security and those opportunities to simply offer ever go georgia murder, this trial and everything in between. as a tragic and devastating, our family is for ever broken. and one thing we can argue back is jocelet. you know, we're getting closer to that sentence, things by piece. okay. well, they have been county judge these a picture, some outside the court. there's a crowd that is beginning to get larger. as we get closer to that moment. mary frances berry, i want to talk to particularly about the words that we had from george floyd's daught

starnes from minneapolis, and we have the brothers of george floyd, terrence floyd, as well as brandon williams, we have his cousins, at home we have his sisters, and certainly his beautiful daughter who they tell me is smiling, saying her daddy changed the world and he he will talk more about that later. we want to acknowledge all of his family, we want to acknowledge all of the people who used their voice to say his name. say his name. >> george floyd! >> say his name! >> george floyd! >> today represents an opportunity for a turning point in america. this is the longest sentence that a police officer has ever been sentenced to in the history of the state of minnesota. but this should not be the exception. when a black person is killed by brutality, by police. it should be the norm. when we think about real justice, real justice would be that george floyd would still be here with his family. when we got today was some measure of accountability and we understand there are still federal charges, but as his brothers and families ask for the maximum, we are still holding out for the maximum. we h

next, we'll hear from the nephew, brandon williams. mr. williams? >> [indiscernible] >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] chauvin killed george. he also displayed a total lack of consideration for human life when he did so. [inaudible] as i wrecked my brain and thought about what to say today, i came to this conclusion. it is humanly impossible for me to stand here and be able to articulate the right words that would capture all that i'm feeling, so please bear with me as i attempt the impossible. the murder of george traumatized us. [inaudible] words cannot express the pain, anguish, and suffering from george's murder. it is truly unimaginable. [inaudible] there will be no more birthday parties, no graduations, or family gatherings. [inaudible] they say time heals all. and while i believe that saying, it's challenging to do so given these circumstances. before i conclude, i must highlight a few things. george's murder, his trial, and everything in between has been tragic and devastating. our family is forever broken. and one thing we cannot get back is ge

brandon williams. >> it's funny that we got justice but not enough justice. i remember standing here the first day of trial in this very same spot and we were very optimistic and unsure of what would happen. after seeing the video, we should have been 100% sure that we would be at a guilty conviction with maximum sentence. when you think about george being murdered in cold blood with a knee on his neck for 9:29, execution style in broad daylight, 22 and a half year is not enough. we were served a life sentence. we can't get george bade. gianna can't hug george again. he will be able to hug his family, possibly and see his family again. we can't get george back. in retrospect, i feel he should receive the life sentence as well. what kind of message are you sending to our country? what kind of message are you sending to the younger kids like gianna that you can kill a plan in cold blood and get a slap on the wrist. that's like a slap in the face to all of us standing up here and everybody around the world who feel what we feel and saw the video. i won't celebra

one of the things that struck me is brandon williams, who you did hear during the sentencing hearing,stice, but not enough justice. they wanted the max. prosecutors sought 30. he got 22.5 years. one of the things that's highlighted here and is echoed in those sentiments, we rarely get to a point where a non-federal officer is convicted of fatally shooting while on duty an individual while on duty. we got there. and we got a sentence on the upward departure from the sentencing guidelines. we have the guidelines, and i think it's a fair sentence. many people including myself would have wanted more giving the nature and severity of the offense. we got justice, but it's not enough. there needs to be more accountability, not just for chauvin but for officers who engage in this type of misconduct altogether. >> kristen f this had been a black guy, how much would the sentence have been? >> interesting you say that. one of the things i looked at when looking into this, generally when you see officers facing manslaughter charges, the average sentence for conviction is about 21 years. the avera

i mean, to use the words of brandon williams who's a nephew of george floyd, he said that today is not a celebration. you celebrate the fact that derek chauvin was sentenced, but overall you do not celebrate this day because, again, it is a significant amount for a police officer, mainly because of how rare these convictions for officers actually are. and they cited examples like what we saw in chicago when the officer was convicted for shooting and killing laquan mcdonald. what you were saying coming to me is a very mixed bag as people leave this courtroom area. but at the very least they are happy that a conviction -- or excuse me, a sentencing has come down greater than the sentencing guidelines lay out. i should also point out as well as many have mentioned. we still have multiple federal trials to play out, not just for derek chauvin but the other officers in this. for chauvin his arraignment is set for mid-september, at which point he could face additional time. but, again, today mixed feelings on that 22 and a half year sentence handed out by the judge. >> all right, omar jimene

brandon williams. on monday, may 25, 2020, george perry floyd junior was murdered by derek chauvin.r, istand here act of hate. a year and one month later, i stand here before you task with the duty of expressing how george prospect avenue has impacted me personally and the rest of our family. as i rack my brain and thought about what i can say today, i came to this conclusion, it is humanly impossible for me to stand here and convey our articulate the right words that will capture all of that we are feeling and what we have felt over this period is, so please bear with me as i intend the impossible. the set up murder of george has forever traumatises. you may see us cry, but the full extent of our pain and trauma will never be seen with the naked eye. the heart breaking her goes far beyond any number of tears we can never cry. words simply cannot express the pain, anguish, and suffering that ourfamily and friends pain, anguish, and suffering that our family and friends have endured since george fox murder. it is mutually unimaginable. not as unimaginable as the decision to take a li

brandon, it's great to have you back on. okay, msnbc host brian williamsrnor greg abbott over his political stances on the border. what do you say to this? >> he should be criticized. you know, when -- this is typical of the mainstream media. when you don't have the facts, you just make up attacks. you call him political. when in reality, walls have proven to work. san diego, large stretches in arizona, even in texas. walls have driven down illegal immigration. news flash for brian williams, from somebody who actually patrols the border, walls work. come up with facts, use numbers instead of political rhetoric. elizabeth: yeah. europe has walls. asia has walls. russia has walls. let's listen to what brian williams said. watch this. >> his state doesn't have a dependable power grid, and yet he's going to build his own wall on the border, and he's being richly rewarded by a visit from his guy trump next week. if abbott wants to, say, run for president, he must be more further ensconced in a particular area of trump's anatomy than even ron desantis of florida
