immediately upon learning about this, d.a. mulroy, shelby county district attorney steve mulry enlisted the tbi to determine if excessive force had been used and since then, the d.a.'s office has worked with tbi, and we will continue to do so. today you will hear from d.a. mulroy along with the director of tbi, david ralph, and so i want to just make it very clear, and ask for your understanding that this is still an ongoing investigation, and so for that reason, there are limits to some of the things and some of the questions that we can answer. so we ask for your understanding as it relates to that, and i will turn it over to d.a. mulroy, and did i mention that we will take questions after, but they will be -- we have a really limited amount of time. so, thank you. >> thank you. good afternoon, everybody. thank you for coming. i'm joined today as ms. williams has already said with the director of the tennessee bureau of investigation, david rausch as well as assistant director josh milton. i'm also joined by other members of my sta

i know steve mulroy, i -- may be new to the d.a.'s, job but he's a seasoned prosecutor.a respected leader. so that's impressive, that they got through this in less than three weeks. and i have a lot of faith in what they have done, together with a tbi who is also working very very hard. i'll tell you it's really important to make sure that you are throwing these investigations. here in maryland, where i live, the freddy gray investigations, and the local prosecutors, are very very hasty. as a result, you know, the criminal case fizzled, and it was a real black eye on the prosecution. as a result, i think they have been very deliberate in what they're doing, and very transparent, as we will see tomorrow. >> captain johnson, you know, you are in ferguson missouri in the wake of the shooting of michael brown. i'm not comparing one tragedy to another here, what steps do you believe officials and memphis and other cities around the country, should be taking in advance of the release of this video tomorrow night? >>, well i think they should be engaging with the community lead

steve mulroy who's in his first year as a d.a. by bringing charges to those individuals.now it is my opinion that it rests with my colleagues and i from a legislative standpoint to put things in place to try to prevent things like this from happening again. i think that the actions of those two probably help diffuse this situation because things could have been a whole lot worse if we compare this time line to what's taking place in other parts of the country when we've had similar incidents like this. but the swift action of both of those individuals i think helped calm the concerns of the community. now it's up to the council to act. what i hope that we can do going forward is listen to our community because i don't have the answers for law enforcement. that's not my weal heel house. but i'm willing to listen to the experts, listen to our community to come up with ideas to try and then legislate those ideas, put them into action to try to prevent stuff like this from happening again. >> and when we were speaking with the family's attorney in the last i guess half hour o

that district attorney steve mulroy would be holding a press conference and possibly announcing charges and they have been charged. we are expecting a press conference from the d.a. this afternoon at 2:00 eastern time to get some more details about what exactly happened. but we do know that a grand jury convened this morning here at the shelby county courthouse and earlier this week the district attorney did say that the release of the bodycam video that everyone has been interested in interesting at would possibly coincide with charges being announced. so we do have charges announced now, so we are waiting for the bodycam video. we could possibly see it as early as today or maybe tomorrow, but those details are not confirmed just yet. waiting on the district attorney for more details on that. but did get a sense today that officials here in memphis, as well as the police department, were preparing for something. overnight. police chief released a video calling the acts of those former memphis police officers heinous and tried to urge the public to be patient and to practice peaceful protests as the video was expected, in her words, to be released in the coming
