george floyd! what's his name? george floyd! nojustice, no peace.member where we were when we first where we were when we first watch that video. the killing of george floyd by derek chauvin, the police officer that knelt down his neck for more than nine minutes. one year on we are going to take a look at the impact of what happened worldwide after global protests over the killing. we begin here in america, in missouri, st louis county where the main city has the highest level of civilian deaths at the hands of the police. what can be done to improve relations between officers and the public they serve? what happens when communities are under siege? for me to feel that even with my collar on that i have to be armed, is pretty depressing. under siege from violence, the bitter harvest of decades of neglect and poverty. but under siege too from those meant to defeat the violence, bad cops, poisoning public opinion. i see comments on facebook and things of that nature, you know, this is all police want to do is kill us. but i can things be turned around

if you do not pass anything, they what did george floyd die for?nk that we have got to make sure that we get a good product out. i will tell you, there is a price at which it is too watered-down. i do not think the absence of qualified immunity is that. i think if we can get everything except that i say pass it and do not quit and keep going. that is what i say, and some of my friends will get mad at me for saying these things but i am not telling them to not write and i am -- fight and i am not telling them to get everything they can. at the same time, if you cannot get the whole, get 99% of it. >> attorney general ellison, just so i am clear, if qualified immunity is not in the george floyd test is a policing act and that is the one thing that could be done to get past you would say, democrats, vote for. a.g. ellison: keep going, i am sorry. >> may be does not have to go that far because one of the things that has been on the table is for qualified immunity, only stripping it away from the individual police officers and making it possible for peo

for george washington? >> because it shows up the first continental congress in 1774 and he is the man. he has learned how to be a political actor. any have to figure that out somehow. look at the 16 years he spent an awesome burgesses, which is longer than the military officer. i think he really sat at the feet of fine political actors. as the colonial capitol in williamsburg. people like henry lee, peyton randolph, john robinson, they're not big names today patrick henry. and he figured out how they lead. and he figured out the best course for himself. the house of burgesses tended to feature the star of people like patrick henry. they would give great speeches and fire up the world. george washington was never going to do that. he was not that lib or fancy of a speaker. he did not have a terribly good voice. as i said he was shy about his modest education. i think he figured out how to be a quiet leader. there were a few ways, extraordinary talents he brought to that, which he can take advantage of. one

our next guest is tara brown, george floyd's cousin and the director of the george floyd foundation. for being here. what does today mean for you and your family? >> obviously, we're still heartbroken. today is a day that, you know, it marks the anniversary of his passing, and so you know, there's no way of avoiding that this is a tremendous loss for us. as much as, you know, it's a loss for us, we do understand that it's -- we want to celebrate the life that he lived and focus on just making sure that there is -- we build on the legacy that we want to honor him with. >> yeah. i read, tera, that you had always prided yourself, or i guess considered yourself the protector and nurturer of the family and i can imagine that today and this year has been hard for somebody who couldn't protect the family from all of this pain. >> that is so true. that has always been my role, and so i do have -- you know, i may have said before that i just have so much guilt about, really, just not being there or not being able to save him. and so, that is why it's just so important to me that we can't get

when he was just a teenager, george will go to school all his life. and that i think is the key to washington. he was in school of self-improvement all his life . he was always observing other people. he was an avid reader, he doesn't often get credit for this but he read practical books. and he was always trying to become a better actor, a better farmer, a better manager of his plantation. and that sort of self-critical approach and desire, he had involving ambition, and a willingness to look at himself in the cold light of day and figure out how to get better at things he wasn't doing too well i think was the essence of him and the essence of his success. >> what did washington learn from his early challenges as a virginia militia officer such as necessity. washington had been a resounding success in the british military, with american history havebeen different ? >> that's a fun question and what it's history is always fun and everybody what's the fantasized about what if george washington was the head of the british army when they came to suppress
