does that influence the criminal trial of derrick chauvin. >> it does.e nice to do this in a vacuum but hasn't been in the past year and won't be. what the floyd family team said is look they heard from cops and representative carr and maybe a prior to 2019 event. let get to the other side of the coin, at least one group of people, the city looked at this and said he did so much wrong, chauvin we need to compensate the family for what he did wrong and the team put that out there and i can understand with the negative information with george floyd that has been out there. >> chief ramsey. you've led police departments in philadelphia and washington d.c. the standard for the use of force by police officers in minneapolis and like other places, let's speak about there because this matters here right as threat to the police officer, threat of the use of deadly force by the person involved, when you look at this as a police officer, do you have any doubt that chauvin overused his force? right? that it was within what was allowed as an officer of the law? >> i

his expertise on what he saw unfolding in front of him at one point he said that the officer derrick chauvin had put his knee on the neck of george floyd in such a way as as to do what he called a blood show in other words shutting off the arteries of the neck to stop blood flow and i think you're absolutely right kemal that what the defense was trying to do was say this is an angry man who had an axe to grind he called the officers bums 13 times he pushed back on that he said i wasn't being angry i was being professional he did not acknowledge that he was upset by what happened and ultimately called a 911 operator rather than talk to the police on the scene and he was asked why he did that and he said because i thought i was witnessing a murder so this 3rd witness not everything is scintillating testimony because they have to establish his expertise and then sort of walk through what he saw these are each building blocks with each of these witnesses in the prosecution is putting together in order to make its case and that case. course deryk show even was the direct cause of the death of geo

it's marking a reminder all of the video which is at the center of this case of police officer derrick chauvin crossing and me into the neck of george floyd who subsequently died i want to bring in john hendren who's joining us from outside the courtroom in many apple this. john if you're with me i just wondered there if you can give us an idea because that the stakes here are incredibly high on the. they are indeed this is the civil rights trial of the 21st century so far here in the united states the biggest case in 30 years since that beating of rodney king in 1901 and that ended badly when those officers were acquitted then the city of los angeles and others went up in flames and that's reminiscent of this summer here after george floyd died when cities like minneapolis and others endured being in ours and extended protests and the judge seems to understand the stakes in this case that's why he insisted that this be televised globally that something that they don't normally do here in minnesota this is also the 1st case of. 'd a white police officer accused of killing a black man here so i

i want to talk about derrick chauvin's trial. ut george floyd's death was the spark for last year's protests that went on around the world. if chauvin winds up being acquitted or given a slap on the wrist, how big of a blow is that to the racial justice movement. we know that federal buildings already have fencing around them, they're protected. people are concerned about what could happen here. >> so in terms of racial justice, the george floyd act that is now pending in the senate, which president biden has said he will sign, is far more consequential at improving relationships between the police and communities of color and making it safer for citizens and for the cops. the trial of derek chauvin is highly symbolic. i don't want to think about an acquittal based on what we've seen about the quality of the evidence in this case. but it's neve easy to convict a police officer especially for murder. usually they're found not guilty or the judge throws out the charges. and that would be expressive as well. what it would say to a lo

yeah the crux of this case is really did derrick chauvin kill george floyd by kneeling on his neck or was it a combination of factors that is what the defense is arguing the defense is arguing that george floyd was on drugs he was on methamphetamine and fenton know according to an autopsy they say that contributed to it they say he had covert 19 that also contributed to his inability to breathe and they also say he had heart condition and that all the combination of those factors according to the defense was more responsible for the death of george floyd than the fact that this officer derek show of a note on his neck for 8 minutes and 45 seconds ignoring his pleas for his life there's one other thing that the judge decided and that is that a prior conviction not a conviction of prior arrest of george floyd will be allowed to be discussed in the courtroom but only as it pertains to his medical condition so the basic crux of this whole case is did that police officer killed george floyd or was it a combination of other factors john thanks very much indeed john hendren talking to us fro
