paul, minnesota is the uncle of philando castile, clarence castile. mr., thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> first i want to ask your reaction. when you first heard the news about george floyd, another black man killed while in custody of the police, and everything that has followed, it must have brought back some painful memories and a lot of other emotions as well. can you describe what it's been like? >> it did bring back a lost painful memories when i woke up that morning and saw the video of george floyd laying on the ground with a police officer laying on his neck with his knee. it was one of the most horrible things that you could ever wake up to see. almost as bad as seeing your -- you know, my nephew shot and killed. i mean, it's horrible, and it's come around again. >> and after philando died you started actually working with the police in st. paul to improve community relations, which i imagine is a work in progress. but how much more work now needs to be done after mr. floyd's death? >> oh, my god. i mean, as far as pro

he's represented the families of fill and dough castile and several other cases.et's start with your reaction to the george floyd video. >> my reaction on seeing that was of course colored by the david smith incident ten years prior. it seemed like i was watching the same thing happen again. >> david smith was killed ten years ago after an officer placed his knee on smith's back. he was kept on his stomach for at least seven minutes. >> get down on the ground. >> in smith's case, the two officers from the minneapolis police department were responding to a 911 call. >> well, the call was, there was a man doing strange things at the ymca. the officers came, mr. smith was mentally ill, plus he's on the, he was on the autism spectrum. so he didn't like to be touched, and the officers came and immediately grabbed him. and the fight ensued from there. >> during the struggle, smith tries to flee. >> [ bleep ]. >> and the officers tase him to the ground. that's when the seven excruciating minutes begin. >> hey, you want to talk to us? what's wrong with you? >> smith, lyin

the impression that they might be reaching for a gun, which is why the officer who killed philando castile said that he killed him. >> correct. even though i may not have known philando, he feels as if he was my son. on that day we were celebrating our son's 30th birthday in coastal, pennsylvania and valerie was losing her son.

castile, i'm sorry we have to continue to talk about this. i don't know that it gets any better for you and i think it got worse for you when you saw the video of george floyd having his life snuffed out of him. >> absolutely. it was one of those deja vu moments, and i was saying like again? i mean, we've been having these conversations for over four years about policy changes and police reform, but we've also been involved in a lot making of different documents, the things that need to be changed and how the people would like to be treated. it's so simple. you treat people the way you want to be treated. and you swore an oath. you swore an oath to protect and serve and you're killing people. and if you really check minnesota out and see how many people have been killed at the hand of the police, it would pleau your mind. the -- blow your mind. there's an existing of a 30-foot scroll with all these names attached to them. and within the last five years, a hundred of our kids have been killed just in minnesota alone. 100. five years. that's 20

floyd's life was taken just miles from where philando castille was. few weeks ago, george floyd's killint like a tragic repeat of history. but america and the world seems to have said, enough. there's a growing at least a hope that this time it's different. i'm ined now by a minnesotan who's been working on issues of race and policing for years.ct in she was featured in our "america in black and blue" special back in 16 speaking out against the overenforcement of very minor crimes such as aggressive pan handling. >> it does not actually benefit public safety to have such petty low-level oenses on the books. and it's a huge waste of d taxpaylars and resources. >> nekima levy armstro is a lawyer, professor, ordained minister, f themer head of the minneapolis naacp, and former candidate for mayor of that city. she's also a o veteranf many black lives matter protests. what feels different to you this time, if anything? >> well, one of the things that feels different is the lev o awareness in the twin cities and around the nation and even arouhe world. wel

women across our nation like george floyd, breonna taylor, rayshard brooks, eric garner, philando castile, alton sterling, tamir rice, this is a cancer of racism in our nation that must be confronted. it is the civil rights issue of our time, and it is past time that we acted. the lawyers' committee, the organization that i lead, was founded at the request of president john f. kennedy in 1963 during the height of the civil rights movement because he wanted to mobilize lawyers to protect the civil rights of african-americans and other people of color. and here we are in 2020 still fighting the same fights. enough is enough. [ applause ] when the law does not sufficiently protect people, we come to congress and ask for change, and they have delivered. the moment is now. we ask that you all support the george floyd justice in policing act to ensure that people of all races, colors and creeds have the right to equal treatment and protection under the law so that we can all live up to our nation's most cherished principles. thank you.

you push forward and philando castile, killed in suburban minneapolis.t. and so this isn't the first time this city has been in the spotlight. this isn't the first time there's been activism in this city. beyond that, minneapolis is a city that has tried to do a lot of things. they've passed a lot of reforms. they have a black police chief who many people consider to be a great reformer, really nice guy. they elected a wave of progressive leaders here and in st. paul, and yet, the shootings keep conditioning and deaths keep -- keep continuing and deaths keep continuing. it's a case of study does it need to be bigger, more sweeping change, or will small reforms answer the question. what the activists would say now is it needs to be more. >> i hope you can answer in a -- answer this question quickly because you were on a team that created a nationwide police data base of police officers. what was -- what are you hoping -- why did you do that? and how is it being used? maybe just answer how it's being used since we're short on time. >> of course, the "the w

we saw that with orlando castille. the occurrence in 2016, the acquittal of the officer in 2017.w it with eric garner and he's not even indicted in new york. i think this is different. i think it's different as it relates to the testimony that you just read. why do i call it testimony, john? because that's what it is. he'll be brought before a court of law and he'll be asked in front of a jury, what did you see? he'll say those compelling words. to see a grown man cry before i saw a grown man die. that's compelling. in addition to that, john, it will also be shown to the jury, the video. nine minutes on a person's neck? how reasonable is that? it's quite unreasonable, particularly when three of those minutes are in a state of unconsciousness, that is george floyd is in a state of unconsciousne unconsciousness. so i do agree this prosecution will differ. having said that, i am still not overly confident and i share of course the state attorney general's view that it's an uphill battle but if ever a conviction could be had, i think it could be had in this case. >> joey jackson, jos

so, i would give the names of mike brown, eric garner, tamir rice, philando castile, and most peoplest audiences would be still be standing. then i would say the names of michelle cuseso, tamishia anderson. india beatty. maya hall, taylor moore. by the time i got to the second name, pretty much everybody had already taken their seats. you could actually hear the sound of people sitting down. i call that the, you know, the sound of the silence. the sign of marginality. it's that we haven't heard these names because we don't have stories, the ability to say, oh, i recognize that story. you start a story what police violence against black men looks like, you are walking down the street and police roll up on you. and then it goes back. people get that. but the story is you're sleeping in your own bed at 1:00 in the morning and no one knows how to really complete that story. so that's part of the problem. because we don't tell the story, people are not familiar with them. when they're not familiar with them, they can't hold the names of black women who have been killed by the police. ther

life mattered and philando castile's life mattered and so many others whose names we know and don'tng about when i was a sophomore in high school, i was 15 and sophomore year is the year we do volunteer work which is a prerequisite of graduating and i remember my teacher at the time, my teacher, ms puglia, said to me before i was leaving for a day of volunteering, always rememberto put a day of volunteering, always remember to put others needs above your owfi remember to put others needs above your own fears. we can speak now to paul olubayo, who is a graduate of the university i was reading your i was reading your blog.|j i was reading your blog. i wonder if you heard the words from meghan markle, saying we need to take an introspective look in ourselves and question whether we are doing enough. it is enough being done now in the light of george floyd's?” think it's a start. i'm very pleased with the news that came today that the other officers involved have had charges brought against him but george floyd is a tip of the iceberg, it's always been a systemic problem. killed in very

philando castile in a minneapolis suburb, his girlfriend live streams the aftermath and says he was reachingng a two-week trial and a day of deliberations, jurors acquit the officer of all charges. also, 2016, alton sterling is confronted by officers outside a baton rouge convenience store, cell phone video shows him pinned down to the moment, that they shot him. police say they thought he was reaching for a gun. louisiana's attorney general later says an investigation determines the shooting was justified, and breonna taylor killed inside her home two months ago. a nurse who had been on the front lines of covid. officers broke down her door in the dead of night as part of a drug sting and according to a police warrant, they believed that a man was using her home to traffic drugs. over the course of the raid, taylor was shot at least eight times according to a lawsuit by the family. those officers are currently on administrative leave. and today, june 5th, would have been breonna taylor's 27th birthday. we have a saying at us foods: we help you make it. you, the independent restaurants of am

george floyd, philando castile, michael brown, breonna taylor, all african-american, all dead at the hands of police. why does the story never seem to change? i will talk to the former secretary of homeland security, jeh johnson. >>> also, bogota, toronto, london, paris, and down under in auckland. cities around the world have come out to protest the death of george floyd. how did the american angle go global? >>> and before the protests there was the pandemic, and covid is killing african americans disproportionately. harvard's david williams explains why. >>> but first, here's my take. i've not been one to argue that the united states under president trump is on the verge of turning into a tyranny. but left to his own devices, president trump would act little to the law or constitution. at present he's shown a willingness to shutdown investigations into his conduct, offer pardons to those the whose law breaking he approves of, punish media organizations and social media platforms that, in his mind, are biased against him. even many of his supporters would privately say, we need not

the trayvon martin of the world, the michael brown's of the world, when we fight for the cilantro castilee on -- bbrianna tailors of the world, when we fight for the least of these, what we are doing is helping america live up to its creed. most importantly, what we are doing is helping america to be americans. [applause] what we endeavor is equal justice for the united states of america and george floyd is the moment that gives us the best opportunity that i have seenpp n a long time. thank you so much. [applause] now i will introduce you to a man that really needs no introduction who will eulogize george floyd. here is a man that has fought for so many and when he gets a call he always answers the call even when the cameras are not around to be even after the cameras are gone, ask garner's family, ask any family, they continue to answer the bill. here is a leader that you see on tv commenting but more importantly, who has live livedr experiences and because he has lived his experiences, that is what makes them so effective commenting on msnbc about our experiences. and he is going to ta

floyd, jackson davis, oscar grant, so sad, breonna taylor, ahmaud arbery, terrence prichard, philando castile, freddie gray, walter scott, tamir rice, michael brown, eric garner, trayvon martin, and many other names -- >> sean bell. >> joshua johnson. speaker pelosi: thank you. we cannot settle for anything less than transformative, structural change, which is why the justice in policing act will remove barriers to prosecuting police misconduct and covering damages by addressing the quality immunity doctrine. it will demilitarize police by limiting the transfer of military weaponry to state and local police departments. it will combat police brutality by requiring body and dashboard cameras, banning chokeholds, no knock warrants, and end racial profiling. it will finally make lynching, mr. hoyer, a federal hate crime, and i suppose chairwoman bass and our distinguished senators, harris, booker, and others for their work in helping to pass hr 35 this year. police brutality is a heartbreaking reflection of an entrenched system of racial injustice in america. true justice can only be achieved wi

. >> stahl: one year later, philando castile was killed during a traffic stop over a broken tail-lighthe officer was charged with manslaughter, but was acquitted. in 2018, thurman blevins, 31, was killed by two white police officers who opened fire as he ran away with a gun. ( gunshots ) no criminal charges were brought. but, in a striking comparison, in 2017, justine damond, a white woman who had called 911, was killed by a black officer, mohamed noor. he was convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter, and is serving a 12.5-year prison sentence. by last month's killing of george floyd, chief arradondo said the minneapolis black community had had enough. >> arradondo: within a few hours, we had both protests becoming more violent, we had large groups of individuals who had overrun security around the precinct; we had large-scale looting, fires, shots being fired. >> stahl: you know there's some complaining that the police backed away. they didn't protect property. stores were going up in flames. people were running in and out of stores unhampered. it all broke down. what happene

you can look at philando castile, a traffic stop.icted but he was acquitted at trial. so you're dealing with those attitudes. in addition to that you're dealing with the standard of prove, which is beyond a reasonable doubt and unanimous. right? you have 12 jurors that have to agree. if there's one, then you have a problem. more than that, though, i think you're going to hear arguments from the other parties that were there, the police officers, concerning what their role was and they're going to make arguments to the extent they were not aware of the severity, they perhaps didn't hear that george floyd was saying he couldn't breathe or crying for his mother. they were not involved with regard to having the knee themselves on the neck. you'll hear those arguments. to that extent you could perhaps convey or convince some jurors. i think at the end of the day, though, i think the prosecution does have notwithstanding those challenges, wolf, a compelling case to make. >> joey jackson helping us better appreciate the legal aspects of all

videotape after videotape, philando castile being shot by the police. me mike brown in ferguson. i can keep naming names and it will just get more and more disgusting and aggravating to the point that we want to look away and we can't. and it's not stopping. so, until the police start to see the people that they are policing as human beings this is what's going to continue. and it's not lost, again, on black people that they do not see this. that man running away from rashard brooks does not look like that guy's uncle or brother or son or friend or anything. so he's not even registering that's a human being whose life he's taking. and i know all cops are not bad, but please, if you don't want people to think you are, we are desperately asking you to do better. >> the mayor of atlanta, kesha lance bottoms has received a lot of praise. i want you to listen to what she said earlier about this fatal police shooting. >> what has become abundantly clear over the last couple weeks in atlanta is that while we have a police forceful of men and women who work alongside our communities with
