. >> george floyd. >> thank you all. that's where his family that could not be here today. >> i have a question. gop is trying to get buy in from policing organizations for the george floyd policing act. that's one of the reasons why we are hearing installed and thus the reason it was not signed into law by the president today. let's say you about the fact that they are looking for police organizations to buy-in? it looks like it's civil rights versus qualified immunity. civil rights versus policing. >> we are going to leave here and meet with senator booker and senator scott, two of the lead negotiators in the united states senate, to continue to talk about a bipartisan bill. we don't think that it has to be one against the other. it should be that we all want better policing. we all want just policing where george floyd would get an opportunity to take a breath without having a knee on his neck, where breonna taylor would get to sleep in peace without her door busted open and executed with six bullets in her body. thei

gege floyd wasn't just george floyd. we had seen the amy cooper, christian cooper, ahmaud arbery had been shot and killed in georgia which is not a policing incident but potentially of racial profiling or racial targeting. you had a populous of people who had been trapped inside their house all year at that point. and -- or for several months at that point at least. and then they saw this video of george floyd. and people wanted to get into the streets. they wanted to do something and wanted to change something. and i think that when you look at the year that's come afterward, we're having conversations and there's debates happening in cities and municipalities and states about things like changing police funding, about whether or not armed officers need to be the ones spongdz to -- spongz to all these things and things relatively unthinkable in the mainstream conversation the day before george floyd was killed. yamiche: trieme, what wesley is talking about is a change of the conversation. you're in tulsa where this is i

floyd.t is the change that we're looking for when we go to the hill today. the floyd family wants to see change, they want irrevocable change. meaningful change, that is kind of the goal of what we're doing today and they're going to take that passion and the emotion they have, and they're going to talk to these lawmakers and make sure they understand what they really want. >> do they feel hopeful that that change that you're talking about will come and come soon? >> so that is an excellent question. i think we all convinced ourselves that we do not want anything rushed because if we're going to get a big passed it has to be meaningful. it has to be a bill that is going to protect lives, and save lives, as opposed to being just the same old thing. if we're going to be the same old thing, then i don't know that we need the act. we want meaningful and real change. so that is why we're going to slow go this thing and make sure that we get what we want. >> and is that a sentiment that you think

floyd, his life, his legacy. i think what we're doing, like everyone around the country, is recommitting ourselves to getting the george floyd justice in policing act passed. we have to have this urgent, bold reform at this point in history. we've got to transform the culture of policing to help save lives, and we have to hold the police accountable and increase transparency. that's what this moment is about. and over 100 unarmed -- this is more than 100 unarmed people have been killed and brutalized by police since george floyd was murdered last summer. that's unacceptable. black and brown lives matter in this country. this is about saving lives and this is about holding those who commit murder accountable, regardless of who they are. no one is above the law. >> it looks like, you know the way capitol hill works, if you want to get to yes, you can get to yes. and so the question is, but sometimes there are some bridges that are just too hard to cross. what is a compromise on qualified immunity look like to you?
