also spoke by phone, with president biden. who called him and said among other things, at least god now there is some justice. not long after that the president, to earlier today revealed he had been quote, praying the verdict is the right verdict, appeared with the vice president and spoke to the nation. >> today's verdict sends that message, but it's not enough. we can't stop here. this takes acknowledging in confronting had on, systemic racism, and the racial disparities that exist in policing and in our criminal justice system. a guilty verdict does not bring back george but, through the families pain, they are finding purpose, so georgia's legacy will not be just about his death, but about what we must do in his memory. >> and with that, let's bring in our lead off guest on this tuesday night. ashley parker pulitzer prize white house bureau chief for the washington post, ball butler form a federal production -- these days a professor at georgetown law and maryland mosby, states attorney for baltimore city maryland marilyn i'd like to begin with you people may not realize exactly how rare this verdict is. how rare it was to see and hear, fellow officers appear your officers testifying for civilly 's against a fellow officer. let me play a reminder of that before you and i get on with our discussion. >> that in no way shape or form is anything that is by policy, it's not part of our training, and it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values. the defendant violated our policy in terms of rendering aid. >> putting him down on the ground face down, and putting your knee on his neck, for that amount of time, is uncalled for. >> when mr. floyd was no longer offering up any resistance to the officers, they could've stopped the restraint. >> so counselor, you did not have that in the freddy gray case, to name the case, you are involved with, you had a wall of blue. you did not have the gruesome video of life draining from a human being. though we know what happened, inside that police van, does this to you, for all of these factors we've listed, mark any kind of a turning point. >> it absolutely marks a turning point. watching the chauvin trial, the stakes could not have been higher. not just for that family who deserve some a semblance of justice, for the tragic murder of their loved one, captured on film, but also, the stakes could not be higher for us as a country. as the world watched america's justice system, and whether it was going to live up to the ideals of our promise of standard of justice. i think that allison and the prosecution team did an outstanding job improving every element of these offenses charge. but thanks to that video, let's be very clear. that visually depicted george floyd, being callously murdered on camera, that could not be contradicted. and well i understand the prosecutions argument to the jury, i wholeheartedly disagree, that what derek chauvin did was not policing in america. what derek chauvin did to george floyd, is absolutely policing in america for black people in this country. the infliction of excesses force the violation of the excavation policies the refusal to render aid the complete and utter indifference, to the lives of black people, is exactly what policing has been and continues to be in america for black people in this country. and so, yes derek chauvin was on trial but so is policing of four in america. and the reason this moment is so important, is because there's finally an acknowledgment, of of what has been like for black people in this country there's finally a recognition that our lives matter to. >> paul, i don't know what my first thoughts were when i got the call today. that after ten plus hours of deliberations, there was a verdict. i'm curious as to what your and initial reaction was that were you surprised that is that short of deliberation ended up nicking him on all three >> i was surprised. the conventional wisdom among lawyers is that a quick verdict, is a good sign for the defense. but in this case, with overwhelming evidence, i could not imagine that was actually true. and so when i heard the verdict, i did not react as a former prosecutor, or law professor, or legal analyst. i reacted as a black man. and so i cried. this does not make up for breonna taylor, or any others, but in our criminal legal system, one black man's life mattered. when he was killed by a police officer. in the united states of america, that counts as progress. >> ashley parker, all we need to do is listen to these two lawyers who proceeded you, to try to begin to understand the emotion that went into today. and the emotion so many people are feeling tonight. let's talk about the president. you cover and what a change it must be for you to learn, joe biden's comments about the case this morning. which would have been an issue had they not been sequestered. joe biden choosing to call the family and the lawyers and speak candidly, the way people speak. and then his choice with the vice president by his side, also in a speaking role, to address the nation. it is quite a bit of change, when contrasted to the president who was in office for the death of george floyd, and the ignition of protests in the streets across our country. >> it's absolutely a change from former president trump. and it's one of the things that president biden promised, even as a candidate. even before george floyd's death. we have to remember that joe biden got into this race, he said in part because of charlottesville. the white supremacist violence in charlottesville. and he cast this election in terms of a battle for the soul of the nation. and so what you saw, was a president who does feel this deeply and earnestly and if this early and even those comments he made earlier in the day that were, despite the jury being sequestered, controversial. that's what makes the people who do love joe biden, love him so much. it was someone blurting out their true feelings. which were the true feelings of a lot of people, in this country. and again joe biden, he's 78 white guy, but he is someone who's lived experience is out of pain and lost. and you saw that, how he can step into that empathize or chief role, and that postural role, although it is important to add that is he himself said, that's not really enough. but it was, people felt like what the moment called for this evening and today. >> marilyn, i know a lot of us are thinking tonight about darnell frazier and think about it with a honorable mention to steve jobs. a young woman who had the courage to recorded that video. the further courage to post that video. her video, controlled this case, it's been viewed around the world. it's iconic. it was the iphone and related devices that allow that technology, it was the iphone and related devices that turned the hush in the crowd today, into a roar when they heard the verdict. i want to play just some of her very honest and emotional and forthright testimony. >> it's been nights i've stayed up apologizing and apologizing to george floyd for not doing more. and not physically interacting and not saving his life. but it's like, it's not what i should have done. it's way he should have done. >> this is a young woman who most people agree, played a heroic role. imagine carrying around that kind of guilt, and sadness. marilyn, with there have been a case, without this young woman? when i can tell, you is that the video is the most vital piece of evidence, that the prosecution has. and let's be clear, if it weren't for that video that could not be contradicted, which doesn't typically exist, we as a country will continue to claim to be will fully ignorant to the police brutality and released relations. it was because of the iphones it was because of her courage and recording that video. the body worn cameras that a merica has now, not able to refuse, do you understand that somebody, a police officer, would have the gall to put his knee on the neck of a handcuffed citizen, in a prone position, for nine minutes and 30 seconds. the culture of violence and culture of overly dominant police enforcement against black people in this country, will not be on full display if it were not for that video. and so today, because of this verdict, we say to the world as a country, we are no longer will fully ignorant, black lives do matter. we see the tram are in the violence that has been inflicted on black people, by the police every single day in this country. and we are committed. we are committed to this systemic reform, that will always ensure justice, and accountability, when black men, women and children are killed. at the hands of police. >> paul, a legal question. how does it feel tonight, if you are the lawyer for the remaining three officers, scheduled to go to trial in this case. or perhaps you are the lawyer for the police officer now former police officer, who shot and killed daunte wright? >> they are thinking about making a deal. because, this may signal, with regard to holding police officers accountable. so, some lawyers say the cases are won or lost during jury selection. in this jury was actually more diverse, than the city where the trial took place, it included six people of color, and seven people in their twenties and thirties. both groups, that are less likely to give the police more credit, than other witnesses. and what a lot of these jurors said, in this election process, was that they had concerns, about whether the police tree all americans the same way. and the judge to his credit, did not allow that realistic assessment, to prevent those folks from serving on the jury. and so brian, this case was, about the state versus derek chauvin, police were on trial as an institution, but the movement for black lives, has to get a lot of credit. for the way that it has educated the public, with black and brown people have always said. that the police treat us dif
