george floyd. we will speak with "washington post" reporters who co-authored the new book "his name is george floyd: one man's life and the struggleor racial justice." >> everyone in the world knows how george floyd died, but our book is about how george floyd lived and italks about his persistence nigating structure around the country that were laced with systemic racism. wanted to write this book in part because we wanted to show how george floyd h experienced institutional racism over the urse of his life long before he met up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. presidenbiden has vowed to defend taiwan if it was attacked by china. he made the remark when questioned during a news conference in tokyo earlier today. >> you did not want get involved in the ukraine conflict terribly for obvious reasons. are you willing to get involved militarily to defe taiwan if it comes to that? pres. biden: yes. >> you are? pres. biden: that is the commitment we

that is why i call on congress to pass the george floyd justice and policing act.plause] send it to my desk. some asked why haven't done this executive order earlier. if i had done it, i was worried it would undercut the effort to get the law passed. this is a call to action, based on basic truth. public trust, as any cop will tell you, is the foundation of public safety. if they are not trusted, the cop doesn't contribute, doesn't cooperate. there are two sides of the same coin, inextricably linked, and the principles of fairness and equal justice are the core of each of them. the wheels of justice are propelled by the confidence that people have. without that, crimes would be unreported. witnesses would fear to come forward. cases would go unsolved, patients would suffer isolation. ironically, police are put in greater danger. justice goes undelivered. without public trust, law enforcement can't do its job of serving and protecting all our communities. as we have seen all too often, public trust is frayed and broken, and that undermines public safety. for the fam

the help that could have come to george floyd came too late. was all supposed to be a fun, freewheeling day, an afternoon barbecue, a trip to wendy's with a friend, a rendezvous with an old flame. and yet it ended with floyd's face on the warm asphalt on a muggy late spring evening, begging an agent of the state to believe that he wasn't a bad guy. he told officers he could not breathe at least 27 times. and, each time, he was ignored. the last conversation floyd had was under duress with an elderly black man he did not know, who told him that, in this country, he could not win. fred: in the aftermath of floyd's death, you saw this incredible outpouring, not just onto the streets and all of the uprising that happened, but you also heard commitments toward some form of equity. two years on, do you sense that that needle has shifted much? robert: all the time, i think about the idea that there's george floyd the man and there's george floyd the movement. we have to ask ourselves the question if the country would be more accepting to listen to geo

however, last fall, senate republicans rejected the george floyd justice in policing act.hey walked away from there moral obligation, to address what caused millions of americans to march in the streets. the critical need that a coalition of americans were demanding, were pleading for in terms of reform, and accountability. at the time, president joe biden and i and all of us here, we made clear, and we vowed that we would explore every action available to us at the executive level to advance the cause of justice in our nation. in a moment, our president will sign an executive order that takes dozens of important actions to advance effective, accountable policing, to strengthen trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and to help us fight crime and promote public safety. this order will help to protect our communities, and it will help keep members of law enforcement safe on the job. these actions are a result of input and collaboration from a broad set of partners, many of whom are here today. civil rights leaders, members of congress, and members of

but who was george floyd?first thing that we thought about was how much people saw his face, but had no sense of who he was. fred: roberts samuels and tolu -- and another person is the author of "his name is george floyd: one man's fight and his struggle for racial justice." >> wanted to bring back his humanity, a human being who had loved ones and had thoughts and dreams and who saw a lot of those deferred and a railed, in part because of who he was and how society treated people like him. fred: the two washington post journalists conducted hundreds of interviews, spending time with floyd's family and friends, civirights leaders, and politicians. they reported in the sprawling cuny homes public housing complex in the shadow of downtown houston where floyd came of age, and where we met them recently. >> he was surrounded by deep poverty. he was surrounded by crime and the drugs and the issues that come along witdeep poverty. and it made it difficult for him to envision how to escape. but that was always his go

his name is george floyd.ruggle for racial justice tells his story in vivid detail. joining us are co-authors robert samuel and toluse. they are both reporters with us. toluse, in the book you described how different systems and institutions failed george floyd. you described what systemic racism looked like in his life and murder. and i'm wondering how you might present his story as evidence to those who deny or downplay that systemic racism is real. >> we went into deep detail in researching how these various institutions floyd's life. we wanted to show that when he met derek chauvin may 5th, 2020, that was not the first time he was suffocated by the system and nature of some of the things he faced in life. we searched family history and saw how it stripped his family of wealth in north carolina, the housing system and how he was funneled into a dehilapidated housing system. we researched the public school system he tried to navigate and he struggled with systemic racism and segregation despite a supreme cou

that, happened during george floyd's life, and still continues today. >> fluid, when george floyds not a factor. but you found that floyd's response from the very moment that he tapped on that car window, it was related to those experiences, almost like a steepest trauma surfaced in what turned out to be the last minutes of his life. talk about that. once we watched the video of floyd's final moments, we were able to see a expression on his face that showed abject fear. it will ruin something. it was rooted in an experience over several decades of police harassment. we documented that he was stopped by police over trying times over the course of his life. sometimes it was for walking us in his own neighborhood. please stop him because it did not look like he was going anywhere in particular. six of the peep police to stop him or charged of crimes of their own. there were a lot of police corruption in his life. he spent time behind bars for things he did an admitted two or four things that he maintained his innocence and claimed he did not do. he was a man who looked like he did an

at the time, two, during the george floyd protests over the murder of george floyd, you and i spoke several happening in the country. we activism, despite a pandemic. people coming out of their homes. to protest the killing of floyd, but also to say to the country, what is happening to black people is something that cannot continue. you were hopeful. two years later, are you still hopeful? >> i think it is so important. we cannot lose sight of the fact that that movement had many victories, in many states. so where we weren't successful federally, i think the level of the protest, and again only referring to the peaceful protests, will ease the consciousness of people around the country. and it did lead to a lot of change. now, we need to continue, on the federal side, there are other pieces of legislation that we are trying to do, and we will see if we can get through. but that executive order is very important. and who the next administration is is going to be equally important. until we can fundamentally change congress, having executive order is good. i also think it sends a message to

george floyd was a victim of police brutality.r old black father. now, two years later, we more ghana versus three of his death. i remember watching that video like so many of you on 2020. i actually connected the call between the floyd family and president biden during the 2020 presidential campaign and i remember then candidate biden promising that georgia's death would not be in vain. it was the worst stretch of my work life that i have ever had. listening to that call. -- many principles before, but i had never seen sobbed silently on the call, listening to that call between president biden and the floyd family. i remember that week, because after seeing black murder after black murder after black murder, we'll still have to keep on working. it is cumbersome but i know so many people out there feel the same. people are wondering, is this ever going to change? is this making a difference? i'm excited about our next two guests, because washington post reporters tolu and robert. very excited about this. they have broad context to

it is two years after the police murder of george floyd.e will speak with the city's first black democratic socialist councilmember. stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] amy: "change for the world" by charles bradley. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. this week marks two years since george floyd was murdered by former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin. his death spurred a global movement for racial justice and intensified the push for police accountability and abolition. on wednesday, the city of minneapolis renamed the intersection where he was killed as "george perry floyd square." on the same day, members of floyd's family attended a white house ceremony where president biden signed an executive order directing federal agencies to revise use-of-force policies, banning tactics like chokeholds, and restricting practices like no-knock warrants, while establishing a national database of police misconduct. biden's executive order came as a reform bill, the george floyd justice in policing ac

this week, the offices that participated in george floyd's arrest, along with derek chauvin, continuepolice officer thomas lane pled guilty to aiding and abetting manslaughter in floyd's murder. he's expected to serve -- the federal sentence violating void civil rights. thinking about and we'll get back how black americans view policing two years later, do you think the conviction of derek chauvin and some of the officers with it, have had an impact on our courtrooms or is that unrealistic? >> reverend al, i think it has had an impact because even more than derek chauvin being convicted of guilty, guilty, guilty other police officer were convicted may cause because of the culture of the police when you see a ballot, doing something stop them from doing it is probably the most important conventions that i have seen in my 25 career as an indictment on the culture of policing. i think george floyd was killed not only because of derek chauvin's foot on his neck for nine minutes but he was killed because of the culture of policing that is bias against black people in america. >> now, we're

george floyd's day over the past 12 months , more than 100,000 young americans have died from drug overdoses of their names. you don't know and you'll never know nobody cares but today we are reminded once again that we celebrated the life of a drug addict with violent criminal convictions by the name of george floyd. he died exactly 2 years ago. being in the hands of the police, all deaths are unfortunate. that's just why this is more regrettable than most no explanations, by the way, the annual

george floyd day. more than 100,000 young americans have died of drug ods in the last 12 months. don't know the names, you never will, nobody cares about them. but today we are reminded once again to celebrate the life of of violent convicted felon drug addict called george floyd who died two years ago today in police custody. all deaths are sad but why is this saturday and most? joe biden did mark the occasion with an executive or you for

the life of george floyd. putting his knee on his neck. we also know the city of minneapolis did award the family money. the burden of these crimes and fees awarded to the victims and their families are from taxpayers. not necessarily the officer. absolutely there was a response to the killing of george floyd. host: the transfer of military equipment there, what would have happened if it would have passed? could police departments effectively all be in place? guest: probably not as intended. if it would have passed the senate and the bill would have been come along, every level, federal state -- federal, state and local would have had to align. what restricted qualified immunity from a police officer being personally liable misconduct. what it would have done if it would have been passed was to change the standard for prosecution from an officer being willingly involved to recklessly involved. it would allow to make the case easier to pass if someone is convicted. the executive order only passed at the federal

george floyd.stood george floyd on the bodies of 19 dead children over twitter before social media. his mind would never go to connect george floyd to 19 slaughtered children and we must remember and celebrate george floyd. it's ridiculous, but it speaks to what social media has done to our points of view, our ability to critically think. we are building lives based around how we come across over social media apps that are not real human interaction. he would never say these things in a one-on-one conversation with anybody in texas we just experienced this. you can't compare the slaughter of 19 children to a drug user and habitual criminal who resisted arrest and lost his life tragically because of policeman crossed the line. there's no comparison to innocent children being slaughtered. don't stand towards floyd on the dead bodies of children. but this is what social media begs all of us to do. that's a smart man that was the president of the united states. taking down to these kids and how they bu

and we are here to day in memory of george floyd. and all those we have lost to take action, the law enforcement officer for our nation. well, they swear an oath to protect and to serve. and the vast majority do so honorably. yet we know too often when there is the use of biased policing and excessive force. when that occurs, it too often is not met with accountability denying equal justice, not just to individuals, but to whole communities and therefore to our nation as a whole trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve is critical to ensuring public safety. and as many of you know, this is an issue i have worked on personally since my 1st days as an elect, the district attorney, and as california attorney general as the united states senator i, together with sen, corey book congressman karen bass introduced legislation to advance much needed reforms that legislation would have in short, greater transparency and increased accountability. we later named it the george floyd justice and policing act. and it was passed

david: let's talk about george floyd. you have lived through the civil rights revolution in the 1960's. we had the post civil rights efforts in the 1970's and 1980's. it seems as if not until george floyd was murdered that some people in the corporate world took seriously the discrimination and other challenges african-americans face. was that your perception, that george floyd had an incredible impact? darren: i think what was different was that first, we were all at home as a country. secondly, this was fully videotaped. from the moment he was put on the ground until his last breath. and that it was photographed. that it was videotaped. and that the perpetrator was fully aware that he was killing someone and clearly assumed he could do that with impunity. i think that is what we americans, the average american, found so appalling and so antithetical to our values as a people. and so, it had a huge impact far beyond the issue of policing and civil rights to the boardroom. david: do you think it will be enduring? there is

we've seen it gain steam in the aftermath of the george floyd protest d one of the things we cover in our book, robert and i, is what happened immediately after george floyd died, which there was this great coming together across the political spectrum of people essentially saying that that was wrong and that we need to stamp out white supremacy, we need to stamp out racism, we need to stamp out institutional racism and -- in the police forces bute saw the backlash. and that is something that we are seeing in our politics. we're seeing how people who campaigned on issues like banning critical race theory were able to control their political fortunes and find themselves in power as a result of focusing on those issues, focusing on the backlash and focusing on the grievances that are out there. and we've seen people try to cash in on that. and the outcome of that is somebody who's disturbed, somebody who finds that community online, somebody who has hate in their heart is able to pick up a gun and go kill real people in a real-life incident that was a tragedy. and politicians and people

square officially calling george floyd square tonight. >> that was craig treadway reporting for us this evening. george floyd's family was among the group of victims families who visited the white house today. they were there as president joe biden signed an executive order to address policing practices nationwide. the white house says the executive order will help create a national database to track police misconduct and it restricts the use of choke holds and no knock warrants. it also mandates body-worn cameras, but the majority of the order only applies to federal officers. however, democrats are pushing for more reforms on capitol hill. >> i know i know progress can be slow and frustrating. today we're acting. showing that speaking out matters. beating gauge matters. and that the work of our time healing the soul of this nation is ongoing and on finishing requires all of us never to give up. >> widespread reform will require bipartisan support in the senate. but some republican lawmakers say the president's priorities are misplaced. >> still ahead, the latest on the growing

already without thousands of marches, on the second anniversary of the the death of george floyd americare modestly than many would like, firstly, there were more pressing problems and questions as well. secondly, the death of floyd is really not enough, what changed in the country in new york a couple of dozen people gathered at the rally in memory of floyd. we thought that everyone would wake up, that the whole world would see what they were doing to black people in america, but nothing has changed, the laws have not changed. they changed the name of some goods, renamed the streets, made a holiday for us, and all in 2 years the protest image was visibly dimmed several leaders of the movement caught on the machine on public donations. they bought themselves expensive mansions and cars. and the very movement used by the democrats to inflict maximum damage on donald trump before the presidential election, having completed the task, noticeably fizzled out. i know progress can be slow and frustrating and there are concerns. what is the calculation for racial consciousness. inspired two year

this executive order is on the two-year anniversary of the george floyd killing.sident outlines plan to limit the use of force on the the part of police officers in general. it will ban essentially all choke holds, restricts the no knock entries that have led to some violent incidents in this country and requires body-worn cameras all the time involving police pursuits. problem cases as they call it. all of this at the backdrop with the texas shooting yesterday of which this has little to do. but i do want to get the thoughts of all of this from bill bratton, the former new york city police commissioner. the timing of this, commissioner, whatever merits it might have in light of the george floyd killings, i get that. it's really aimed at reigning in police procedures at a time that the spike in crime we've been seeing in this country is because they have been overreigned in. what do you make of this? >> well, the timing is intended to be on the second anniversary on the death of george floyd. the coincidence with the events in texas yesterday could not have been f

and we must remember and celebrate george floyd.it's ridded f but it speaks to what social media has done to our points of view, our ability to critically think we're building lives based around how we come across over social media apps that are not real human interaction. he would never say these things in a one on one conversation within with anybody in texas who just experienced this . you can't compare the slaughter of nineteen children to a drug usero and habitual criminal who resisted arrest and lost his life tragically because a policeman crossed the line. there's no comparison to innocent children being slaughtered c. don'tt stand george floyd on the dead bodies of children. but this is what social media bates all of us do.pr that'ses a smart man. that was the president of the united states. take it down to these kidsw and how they built their entiret lives around their social media platforms and how can i be famous and they don't care how you becomee famous over social media if it's o the slaughter of other human beings or

. >> on the second anniversary of george floyd's death this week president biden signed an executiveicer order on police reform. george floyd's killing also prompted a growing number of police departments to ban minor traffic stops. in a move some say could save lives. >> i'm stopping you, do you have a license? >> no i don't. >> in grand rapid michigan a traffic stop started with a license plate and ended with patrick lyoya dead. in lansing banned traffic stops altogether in 2020 after the killing of george floyd the goal, to end racial profiling and so-called pretextural stops. says lansing mayor andy schor. >> what's been the push back you've gotten because you're asking the police not to enforce the law. >> what, our police officers are still pulling people over but doing it for public safety reasons. >> the officers were concerned we were trying to take tools away from them. >> lansing police officer ellery sosebee says,. >> if there's not a gun in there and that inflates into something that puts the officer's life into jeopardy or the citizen's life into jeopardy it's just not

"three quarters of black americans are worried that they or someone they love will be attacked because of their race." "the post" continues with this. in june 2020, one month after floyd's death, 54% of black americans expected police treatment of black americans would improve in the coming years. according to a poll taken then. but today, less than half as many, 19%, say it actually did. another 38% say police treatment has improved a little while 41% say it has not improved at all. joining me onset, the reverend al sharpton, host of "politics nation." pete strzok is here, former fbi counterintelligence agent. charles blow is still with us as well. rev, this story stopped me in my tracks and i try to, i mean, we have had so many conversations, and we have been on the air togethe
