we see daunte's radiant love for his family as he holds his baby boy. in the photo daunte jr. wears a colorful bib with polka dots and a bowtie with first birthday printed in cheerful letters across the front. that's when we see the enormous hole that daunte leaves in the world. that's when we remember he won't be there for his son's second birthday or high school graduation or to see those grandkids. racism, racism in this country is not isolated. it is systemic. and so when we ask ourselves why daunte jr. has to grow up without a dad, when we think about what could possibly fill this hole daunte left in the world we come up empty. instead we find a much bigger hole where justice should be. that word is so heavy on our minds this week, justice. two days ago in a courtroom not ten miles from where daunte was shot, a jury find derek chauvin guilty -- guilty of the murder of george floyd. and the nation owes a debt of gratitude to the floyd family. thank you for being here. to my friend, attorney general keith ellison who, by the way, if i could introduce keith's family who have

she knew daunte wright.i heard that, this is how common place, in some lives, violence and death of loved ones is. she had worked at a school and daunte wright was a student there, and she knew him. and she was always george floyd's girlfriend. so she was invited as a guest. this isn't just sort of some public showing of solidarity. she knew the family and was invited to this funeral also. i mean, it just drives home the loss in some of these communities that have to deal with this all the time. >> it drives home how few degrees of separation there are between these communities and these families. and makes clear that this is -- this needs to be a national priority. you know, if you don't personally know the people involved, ask a couple of questions and you'll find out you do know somebody who does know them. that is, in fact, true. it's not going to be that hard to find. gwen carr, the mother of eric garner, who was killed in -- on the streets of new york in 2014 in a startlingly similar case where he was

you attended daunte wright's funeral today.y's attorney ben crump says the service sought to define wright's legacy. what do you hope his legacy will be? >> wolf, i was very fortunate to be in the numbers today at daunte's funeral. for me, it reenforced what we all heard about him. all of his family members talked about how much he was loved and how much he exuded love. everybody shared just how much he was the life of the party, how much his smile was just contagious and how bright his future was. i think his legacy is going to be that. i think his legacy is also going to be systemic change, because one thing we know for sure is that justice isn't just done in the courtroom. justice is systemic change, justice is passing the legislation that needs to be passed in the senate and signed by the president. justice also is local municipalities passing meaningful reform, changing how we do public safety and state governments once and for all passing meaningful reform. i think that's going to be daunte's legacy. >> were you able to s

amy: that was the aunt of daunte wright on cnn.state authorities have identified the officer who killed daunte wright as kimberly potter, a 26 year police veteran who served as the police union president for the department. she has been placed on administrative leave. on monday, the police chief in brooklyn center claimed potter accidentally pulled her gun instead of a taser. the police department also released body cam footage of the shooting. >> taser1 taser1 taser! i just shot him. amy: according to "the star tribune," daunte wright is the sixth person killed by brooklyn center police since 2012. five of the six have been men of color. brooklyn center mayor mike elliot, who is the town's first black mayor, spoke to reporters monday. >> our hearts are aching right now. we are in pain right now. we recognize this could not have happened at a worse time. we recognize this is happening at a time when our community, when all of america, indeed all of the world, is watching. -- is watching our community and that we are all collectivel

take your seat, daunte. shake hands with castillo. take your seat next to oscar grant, because there's a special place in heaven for those that shed innocent blood because god will use you to straighten out the world. the world will never be the same because we going to stand up for situations like this. we do not in any way condone or insight violence. people keep telling me, reverend, why don't y'all tell people not to be violent? we always have, but when are you going to tell policemen to stop being violent? the problem is not us talking to our youth. the problem is you talking to your bad cops. all cops are not bad. i saw ten get on the stand the other day and testify against another policeman. that's why we know change is here. when you see the blue wall of silence tumble in a courtroom in minneapolis, when policemen understand they are committed to the oath rather than to their colleague, that's when we know a break through is coming. that's when we know we can pass the george floyd bill, because folk are not going to lie on you

the advice he gave daunte wright. he joins us, now. jonathan, you attended daunte's funeral.an't imagine what that experience was like for you. >> it was a very unique experience. obviously, on the heels of the george floyd verdict. and also, knowing daunte, it was -- it was mixed emotions. but today, i -- you know, it was -- it was good to -- a good feeling to feel like all of us were on the same page. i believe that, you know, justice is, potentially, gonna come from minnesota, in a sweeping way. >> you know, it's -- it's one thing to -- to -- to know this as an issue. to know this as something which happens. it's another thing to know somebody, who you have had conversations with about police and about the possibility of this. to know somebody who actually does end up getting killed. when you heard the news about what had happened to him, what -- what -- how did you deal with that? >> well, ironically, i was at an -- another protest for another group, that were protesting murders against their family members. and i got about-300 calls. and i've been fighting for justice in

we'll hear from daunte's parents and his sibles all six as well as one of daunte's uncles.he service will take place here. according to family, red was one of daunte's favorite colors so you will notice members of the family are wearing red and black today. inside, daunte is resting peacefully, he's wearing a jean outfit. anna. >> a life lost too soon. i see you're wearing red also in honor of that life. circumstances are quite different but death of george floyd and daunte wright are blinks for the people of minnesota. you learned the same funeral home handled both these tragedies tell us about that. >> yeah tracy wesley is the funeral director at estes funeral chapel and handled high-profile names some folks don't even know about. he told me it never gets easy. he can better accept when people pass from natural causes but when black men and women die at the hands of police and he has to comfort those families, it's tough. he does his best to keep and hold his composures but said there's many times the families walk out the door he and his staff break, because as a black m

daunte wright. shimon prokupecz, take it away, what are you seeing? >> reporter: yes, so don, the police continue to fall these pepper balls at protesters who are still gathered here. as protesters get closer, they are firing these pepper balls and tear gas. sorry, we are looking around and trying to stay out of the way. plor police officers trying to clear this area. this is what they are doing. they're pushing people back and coming in. you can see there they're making an arrest. this is ongoing now for over an hour now where the police have been and there you see -- >> shimon, can we listen in a little bit? >> we'll move over this way. >> you need to move back now. >> yes. >> shimon is there on the ground shimon, are you getting tear gas? >> reporter: i am okay, it has been constant but it does not last very long because of the rain and the precipitation in the arir. our crew and producer and security team all just been here for the last hour and this has been constant from the police here, the t

daunte wright's life mattered. daunte wright's life mattered. daunte wright's life mattered.eart is broken with yours as we come to lay him to rest, but most importantly, we celebrate his life and we define his legacy. once more, daunte wright's life mattered! >> the woman wiping away tears right now is katy. that is daunte wright's mother. shaq, i know we're going to hear from her and other family members pretty soon in this funeral. talk to me about what you're hearing from the people outside who have gathered and what they want to do to make sure that this sort of thing stops, that daunte wright isn't just one person on an endless line of deaths that were completely unnecessary. >> outside of this church, it's mainly media presence. we know at the trial of derek chauvin, there was much media already, and that's where the focus has shifted today. it was brooklyn center police who shot daunte wright who was minneapolis police department who was responsible for -- or a minneapolis police officer who was responsible for the death of george floyd. just yesterday we saw the just

police, firing tear gas, after the death of 20-year-old daunte wright. police officer, during a traffic stop. that was yesterday. on sunday. and police started arresting people, a short-while ago. about-two hours after this curfew took place, they started to arrest people in the city of brooklyn center. officers are arresting people who have ignored dispersal orders and are violating curfew in the area. and that's a quote from our sources there and the -- excuse me -- minnesota operations safety net. they began arresting people who ignored the dispersal orders and are violating curfew near the brooklyn center area police department and humboldt avenue. you heard the mayor was on just moments ago, asking people to go home, as well. you can see, there is still unrest in the streets. it looks like they have it under control. but you never know. these situations are volatile, and they can change, at any moment. our shimon prokupecz is, live, on the scene now, in brooklyn center. what's on the ground? shimon, we saw some -- some scuffles, some skirmishes, ear

just a few miles away from the daunte wright -- where daunte wright was shot.daunte wright's funeral planned for next thursday. that, as the now-ex-police officer who shot him, kim potter, charged with second-degree manslaughter. made a brief-first court appearance by video today. there is a court sketch. but daunte wright's anguished mother says there will never be justice for his family. >> everybody keeps saying justice. but unfortunately, there's never going to be justice for us. justice isn't even a word to me. i do want accountability, 100% accountability. >> uh-huh. >> like my sister said. the highest accountability. >> amen. >> but even then, when that happens, if that even happens, we're still going to bury our son. we're still never going to be able to see our baby boy, that we're never going to have, again. so, when people say justice, i just shake my head. >> how can you hear her, and not feel that mother's pain at losing her baby boy? anyone would. anybody would. all of these stories that we talk about. in george floyd, in ahmaud arbery, in breonna

-- >> daunte wright. >> daunte wright, what got him pulled over? a license plate issue. what got lieutenant nazario pulled over? a license plate issue. we can go around the country and look at and find examples of black men pulled over for the pretext of a license plate issue and then things going awry. seeing that video, particularly the one of lieutenant nazario is maddening, enraging and frightening because lieutenant nazario could have been daunte wright. >> cedrik alexander, officer gutierrez, the one who does the pepper spray after screaming and screaming and screaming and then doing the pepper spray, he got fired last night. but he got fired on information that that police department had since december 5th. he got fired because of what we see on that video and he wasn't going to be fired apparently until we got to see it on the video instead of just the police chief. >> well, that is problematic in and of itself. it speaks to that police department. it speaks to that city leadership. because if they knew that that video was out there and the

mother says justice would be daunte coming back home. does second degree manslaughter fall short in the eyes of his family? >> you know, as my great team of cocounsel lors and i sat with daunte's family and talked with them, a very profound question came up, wolf. they said they don't know if officer potter has children, but they said if a police officer killed her child in the exact same manner that she killed daunte wright, what would america demand? what would the charge be? wolf, so much of this is about the overpolicing of black people in america, the excessive use of force on marginalized minorities that we see different than what they use against white american citizens. so this is about equal justice under the law. and minneapolis has become ground zero for this conversation, this most important conversation in america. >> daunte wright's funeral, of course, as you well know, will happen a week from today, next thursday. what can you tell us about how his loved ones will remember him? >> you know, the one thing that was so hearte

daunte wright is dead. and i just want you to reflect on what we saw yesterday, what we saw overnight and the entire reaction and explanation to this point. >> yeah. that's a really good question, john. but it's more than just daunte wright is dead. it's, you know, a father is dead, a son is dead, a nephew is dead, a young man who had 40, 50, 60 years in front of him is dead. and so, yeah, daunte wright's life was cut short for no reason. and even more importantly when you peel back the layer of this onion, the frustrating part if we're going to level set and keep it 100, john, as we always do is white folk who want to say, well, why didn't he comply? or he had misdemeanors. where none of those things are death penalty crimes. we feel like we have to go through this over and over again. you lose daunte and then they try to sully his name in death. you know, you think about what happened with our army lieutenant or with what happened with tamir rice. even if you comply or philando castile, you still don't ge

daunte wright. the city issuing an 11:00 p.m. curfew and creating some sense of calm, wright was shot by an officer who yelled taser and taser at him but instead discharged her gun and screaming holy expletive, "i just shot him." today that police resigned. this all comes as wright's mother spoke about the call she had with her son right after he was pulled over. the police say it was because of an expired registration. >> he called and said he just got pulled over by the police and i said why did you get pulled over? and he said because i have air freshener hung in the rear-view mirror and the police officers are also asking for our insurance. i hear the police officer coming back to the window and asked daunte to get out of the car, daunte asked for what? he said "am i in trouble" and then they asked him to put the phone down. daunte put the phone down and i heard some skrcuffling and he g out of the car and i can hear the police officer scuffling with him and -- >> take your time.

joining us now, antonio manucci, for george floyd and daunte wright.oes the charge of second degree manslaughter go far enough in the eyes of the wright family? >> wolf, you have to make no mistake that what happened here was an intentional act. she made a conscious choice in reaching for her gun. the way the taser was positioned on her body, on her duty belt there was no way she could have grabbed the taser. whether or not the charges go far enough, i think what the community needs to appreciate is that there is a charge right now. there can always be another charge added on. i know some people are saying it is too quick to charge. it is not too quick to charge. we have videotape. we see what she did. this is intentional. this was a conscious decision she made in reaching for her gun. >> the former police chief said it was an accident, cited the fact she kept screaming out taser, taser, taser, which you're supposed to do if you use a taser, the argument being she thought she was using the taser. >> well, she may have yelled taser but she reached for h

daunte said we'll explain and then daunte said don't run. like a minute later i called and the girlfriend answered and said that he'd been shot. >> the police chief decided to release the body cam video today as soon as possible saying the state investigators didn't want it released but believed the community had a right to see it. we have a carefully considered policy on showing video of people killed by police including the video in the trial of derek chauvin for the murder of yoerch floyd. the network policy almost never allows us to show the entirety of the video because it is so disturbing to see and many of you told me personally how disturbing the videos are for you to see and this video is unedited up to the point where the gunshot is fired and then the video frame freezes but the audio continues and you will hear what the officer said after she fired that shot. you will hear her voice shift from being terrified of daunte wright to being terrified by what she just did. when she says i shot him. >> step out. >> daunte.

daunte wright is not. an autopsy report was released today saying his it was a homicide and cause of death was the single gunshot wound to the chest. this cost clashes tonight with the police in minnesota and we're seeing that tonight, a night that has become all too familiar with minnesota since the police killing of george floyd there last year. one of the jurors in the trial of -- which completed its 11th day today is living under that curfew tonight, and that minneapolis suburb of brooklyn center where daunte was shot and killed by a police officer yesterday. the curfew went into effect at 7 pm that night. the chief of the brooklyn center police force said today that when he showed, he said this today when he showed police body cam video of the shooting that the killing of daunte wright was an accident. the chief identified the officer who fired the shot as a woman who is a senior officer in the department. she has now been identified as kim potter. she is a 26 year veteran of the police department. th

let's bring in jeff storms, the attorneys for george floyd and daunte wright. thanks so much for joining us. i'll discuss the killing of daunte wright in just a moment but first the defense has launched its trial in the derek chauvin trial calling a use of force witness saying that chauvin was justified. what's your reaction to this day one of snm. >> i hope that use of force expert got paid a lot of money because i don't see how a credible lawyer could hire that expert again. we've watched real overs after real overs get up on the stand and say what happened was wrong and had no place in politician, so i just do not see how someone can actually get up there and say what that defense expert said. >> that witness painted a picture of how suspects on drugs may not necessarily feel pain, might have what he described as super human strength. how hard is it for the floyd family to hear testimony like that? >> well, i think that it's -- you know, it's just unbelievable. they don't believe it like anyone else, right? we obviously saw that george did not have super hum
