so i think one of the reasons why the george floyd video set us off so much was the realizatioot differents. and the videos seem not to make a difference, and that's why that officer could look like that. he wasn't afraid of being videotaped. he wasn't trying to hide what he was doing. >> reporter: what about the other officers? what is their complicity? >> the officer who killed george floyd most directly derek chauvin, who had 18 misconduct kplapts against him already, nothing can be done with that officer. but when i looked at the officers around him, they seem to me like more of the people who probably are police officers, who stand and watch, who are bystanders. that's why the other officers are so important, because we will hear wins again that this is about a bad apple. a bad apple. and it's not about a bad apple. it's about a system, a system of actors and those who are complice it with those actors. there are moments i this country when there are photographs that aroul of this . they almost hold up a mirror to this country. and when we see this picture of the nonchalance with whic

george floyd's family and the protesters have achieved their short term objectives but their long term goals are systematic change they're here today for george floyd so they don't have to be here tomorrow for someone else as one city after another across the u.s. rebuilds from fire and rebellion in the streets of floyd family lawyer says changing. the system that allows the killing of one unarmed african-american after another will take time the protesters did not start these bars to burning it was police brutality and all races from one to jeff this is the best start of these 5 grown in america and the only way to stay with these 5 years is to happen these accountability equal justice but minnesota's governor has begun by charging minneapolis police with human rights violations triggering an investigation into races practices that goes back 10 years the messages now and here in minnesota for the last 5 days come back to the issue at hand which is the systemic issues and the stomach racism and the lack of accountability up and down our society that led to a daytime murder of a black man on a street minneapolis at the george floyd memorial site many s

so, can i ask you, first of all, the global protests that we are seeing around the death of george floydg point when it comes to racism and prejudice? i think there could be a turning point. i think many people are hoping they are a turning point, because for so long, we have had this scourge of racism in all societies around the world. and i think what's different about the protests that we are seeing at the moment over the death of george floyd are the fact that there are so many young white people who are involved. we had trayvon martin, young black man, shot in 2012. black lives matter came out of that appalling tragedy. and most of the demonstrations in ferguson and around the united states involved black people. what we are seeing now are white people getting involved as well, and i think that is critical to the framing of this debate, that everyone understands that you cannot have one section of society being treated badly and the other section of society not being affected by that. fairness is good for everyone, and i think it's very, very important that a lot of young white peop

governors that they must act to curb the violence that is come with protest over the death of george floyd. sois the best way to deal with the rioters while respecting the protesters, the peaceful protesters rights. joining me now republican south carolina senator tim scott, great to see you as always, your thoughts on the different sections that were seen at play, during the day yet peaceful protesters saying we want more socially quality, we want justice for the death of george floyd and that is completely understandable in their well within their right to do it, but then at night you saw the pictures of washington, d.c., minneapolis, los angeles, here in new york city when the violence starts to occur, how do you reconcile those two, they're not the same groups. >> they're not even of the same world, there's no doubt that george floyd deserves justice, i am thankful for folks who are protesting in the vein of john lewis because of his peaceful demonstrations led to social transformation that our country embraced and thankfully were doing better because of it, look at the violent agitators,

trying to attend a memorial for george floyd so there's a lot of pressure for those guys sitting in the capitol in the governor's mansion. so we can expect more protests coming up but we can also expect the cases against of these officers do you have a sense of how difficult it will be to get a conviction against them. and question. it will be difficult why is that because. there are specific. laws for a police officer who make them to some degree more in you into charges then i would be or you would be and maybe they are there for a good reason however if you experience this is a black person over decades of a many many decades in the call of the police brutality and then see the person who murdered your son your child your husband or whoever. go being acquitted then something is definitely wrong now however the attorney general said like he took his time to formulate this charges which we have now the 2nd degree murder charges . because you need at the time to make it watertight so at the so that in court there's really a conviction will is that has to be seen if this is really workin

george floyd. in a moment, we will have a moment of silence -- actually, eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence in honor of george floyd and so many others who lost their lives and were abused by police brutality. before that, i want to yield to the distinguished leader of the senate, mr. schumer. senator schumer: thank you, mr. adame speaker, and thank you for this profound and employment moment. before we go on with our strong and comprehensive legislation. senate democrats held a similar moment of silence last week where we stand for eight minutes 46 seconds to mark the horrible death of george floyd. it was excruciating. it seemed an unbearably long amount of time. it felt so painful to get even an inkling of how this man and so many other black americans have suffered for so long. every american should try to stand in silence for eight minutes and 46 seconds to acknowledge the pain of george floyd and the pain of racism. when we gather in this grand hall for ceremonies, we usually begin with the pledge of allegiance, ending with those three words "justice for all." today, as we stand in silence, rather than in a spoken p

. >> today we are honoring the lives of george floyd so take pause and reflect upon the loss of his life and recognize it was take it way too soon and his staff was the catalyst for when he did you happen a very long time ago. it's a great time to reflect upon the life in the loss of george floyd and understand the significance of moving forward to have positive and encouraging talks about what is to be a person of color across the united states and with senator tim scott and to talk about racial injustice and how we can solve it to be the part of the solution it's a great time to come together and chaplain barry black as the united states navy said serving the senate chaplain providing prayer every day to understand the leadership opportunities and when we go in the future. also a shout out to a gentleman i have worked with not just since the death of george floyd but a rapper and hip-hop artist by the name of will keeps in des moines he has a wonderful nonprofit organization working with underprivileged children in the des moines metro area helping them to overcome the challenges of ra

trying to attend a memorial for george floyd so there's a lot of pressure for those guys sitting in the capital in the governor's mansion. hundreds of people gathered in the german financial capital frankfurt on wednesday to honor the life of george floyd the rally in support of the black lives matter movement it was intended to draw attention to systemic racism both in the u.s. and in germany it's one of many protests around the world that came in the wake of floyd's death last week in london to thousands came together to take a stand against racism. speaker's corner in london's hyde park a meeting point for demonstrators over the years. by. this time they gathered to draw attention to injustices against black people sparked by the death of george floyd in the u.s. . among the protesters star was actor john boy a prominent voice against racism. those present were also eager to stress that these problems were not limited to america. and the u.k. is not innocent all as you can see by this poster has been many not been accounted for by the government or the metropolitan police we have abo

reporter: like advocating the use of force against people protesting the killing by police of george floyd. so people don't like what's going on with this administration, how much can they blame her? >> so this is a really tricky question, but i think most people that i've talked to about that say you're not really to blame for what your husband does, but i do think there's a special responsibility when you're in the white house. it's not j rar spouse. you a platform. now i know that she's using it in ways that we don't know, because i scene hearing about all the influence and advice she has given him. she doesn't do it publicly, but it's -- maybe it would be even worse. for those who don't like trump, who knows what else he would be doing if she weren't whispering in his ear. >> i still think that most americans don't think they know the real melania trump. >> reporter: catherine jellison teaches history at ohio university. so it kind of important to know where the first lady stands because she does have the president's ear? >> i think pretty consistently in the modern era, first ladies have

george floyd's so we expect the family it's a joy ride now any moment they have a little bit later we expect them an hour before but you know this is. and 7 tell us because we have seen it in recent days these protests there in the united states what's expected today. i think protests will still going on today here in minneapolis for sure there are expected to be thousands on the streets today all over the city all over the state and frankly all over the country again of course because this is a special day this is the 1st in 3 events basically and in 3 states where. george floyd is going to be honored is life going to be celebrated and his death going to be mourned this is here in minnesota minneapolis and there will be an event in north carolina and then next week of course in euston monday tuesday also the funeral the funeral of mr floyd so yeah protests will go on people will still be going on the street by the thousands expected today everywhere not just here everywhere in the country and it will be a hopefully absolutely peaceful event here i'm sure it will be if not provoke thi

one of the things that donna has pointed out early on is at the end of his life, george floyd was calling for his mom so as the family gathers here to celebrate the life of george floyd, there is a lot of hurt that these family members have an one thing that i keep thinking about is they don't have to wonder how george floyd died. it's there for all of us to see and in some ways of course, that is good because there is evidence, and then that has led to the charges, but also, it is something that must be very hard for the family because it will always be there in their mind. >> i think it's a heartbreaking moment to hear that on that tape when he calls out for his mother, he reminds me of its many stories that i've read about world war ii and about vietnam and in these situations, it is very heartbreaking that people often do that and they're dying moments, call out for their mother. i think it is something that sort of goes right through everybody when you hear that, and obviously, it evokes a tremendous amount of empathy for him in that moment, and i am struck by how difficult in some ways this makes

it is dark tonight for the death of george floyd. so the empire state building, which 364 nights a year is lit in some color scheme or combination for a group or an individual -- we're fond of opening up our broadcast because it's been that beating-heart red or it's been nypd blue. tonight the lights are out on the building that once loomed over the city as the tallest, years ago lost that designation but certainly remains the favorite and most iconic to so many new yorkers. we have two guests i want to bring into our conversation. one of them is eric adams, who happens to be the borough president in the borough of brooklyn, in the city of new york, which if it isn't a hell of a job on an average day, has certainly turned into a hell of a job both during a pandemic and now during this paroxysm of violence and sadness that has gripped the whole country. also with us is donna edwards, former democratic member of congress from the state of maryland, who is these days a "washington post" columnist. because it's most urgent, borough presiden

minneapolis with thoughts dross and a lot of people from all over to pay their respects to george floyd's so i would say we're entering into a peaceful face of those protests and you have been in minneapolis over the past week what's been the reaction to president tom's threat to deploy the military. to things quiet and deny a brawl raise or anger and total. not understanding why the president is saying what he's saying and a lot of people wondering if he really does not understand or refuses to understand or has an agenda to pretend that he doesn't understand what is actually really going on in the country right now. the talk of activating potentially the regular forces the u.s. army against their own people against americans seems to be in many many minds c.n.n. absolutely ludicrous idea on the other hand there's many who don't. anything but that from the president unfortunately and. i don't think that many here are taking him seriously having said that many here are also very angry that the president is not somebody who is capable and able to actually lead the nation that's what they tell

george floyd praying for peaceful protests. you know, the forensic scientists, alicia wilson, who did the family's autopsy, said that george died because he needed a breath. and so i am employing along with george floyd's family for all of us to take a breath for peace. let's take a breath for justice. let's take a breath to heal our country. and, most importantly, let's take a breath for george floyd as we get ready to memorialize him this week and lay him to his final rest next tuesday. let's take a breath this week to heal the country and to remember george. let's follow george's example. he would have wanted peaceful protests. he wants everybody to use their voice, but he wants them to do it in a constructive way. so as we get ready to memorialize him tomorrow at north central university with all his family, i also want us to remember that breonna taylor, the young lady who was executed in the sanctity of her own home in louisville, kentucky, birthday would be on friday. so let's take a breath for breonna as well. let's take a breath for ahmaud arbery as well. let's take a breath for terence crutcherer as well. let's take a breath for pamela turner who was k

tomorrow to protest and march for george floyd is expected to happen tomorrow. jackie: thank you so much. great reporting out of d.c., of course we're president trump running on a rebounding job market in the american economy while biden is running against new challenges. we will talk about those, let's bring in former republican party tom del becarro. great to see you tom. let's start with the job numbers, wall street has rallied all week, you look at the civil unwrap all the rest the country, where we see in something they do not see and clearly they were they were looking forward and looking at a recovery in people getting back to work, nobody expected this to be a blowout. your take. >> if you think about it over the last three months if somebody would've said the nasdaq would've been at all time high in the beginning of june nobody would believe that. and this jumps to trump's drink. he is the president. we have the op-ed coming out how biden's policies would push it into depression and the strength and with the rising polls for the approval for him, the democrats and biden are

of the population that represents the protesting community in relation to what happened to george floyd. and so these external entities come into play such as these

that aggression oftentimes leads to ads level of violence against innocent individuals such as george floyd. so wee should never have an agency that allows placing one's knee and wait on someone's neck when they are subdued and not resisting. are subdued and not resisting. they are handcuffed and their laying flat on their stomach. that's a very dangerous posture, and when you applied the additional pressure on the neck, one must ask, are you actually trying to cause serious injury or are you trying to arrest? and in this case for eight minutes and 46 seconds we believe there was some intentional, some intentionality there, that is trying to cause serious injury and/or to kill mr. flynn in broad daylight. >> i want to ask you something a little bit different now that happened just in the last 24 hours here this is more about our culture. i'm sure you saw the news that virginia governor ralph nordstrom announced he would be tearing down the confederate statute in the city of richmond, including that of confederate leader robert e. lee. i want to do what you think of this. we seem to have been he

manana we're just heard from the attorney about the family commission autopsy so george floyd's family commission their own independent autopsy and that one says he died of a 6 year due to neck and back compression so let me just read that to you again the attorney says the family commissioned autopsy shows george floyd died of a 6 year due to neck and back compression which of course would come from the police officer is a knee on his neck how does this correlate with the official autopsy. yeah well it's a direct contradiction but how this correlates is that it correlates to what everybody saw in that video now the autopsy report tends to lean to this was something that may have been in his system or a heart failure but we know that those can be by products of the fact that you've had incredible force placed on your body as so the cause of death may have been that but that doesn't rule out that the person body went into some sort of traumatic shock as a result of being detained has spent behind not just one knee on the neck but also there was a 2nd officer who was also putting force o

says he has made a decision about whether or not to charge the other officers in the death of george floyd. so these officers who have since been fired on the video. it's graphic but it's important to understand what happened to george floyd. you see that officer and two other officers aside from derek chauvin, the one there with his knee on george floyd's neck. he's already been charged, right, he's already been charged with third-degree murder. so they don't intervene as floyd repeatedly tells them, he can't breathe. over the course of several minutes, 8 minutes. in minneapolis last hour, the family of george floyd and attorney ben crump visited the site of george floyd's final moments. floyd's son calling for justice. >> every night with my family, my father. no man or woman should be without their father. we expect all of the police officers to be arrested before we have the memorial in minneapolis, minnesota, tomorrow. because we cannot have two justice systems in america. one for black america, and one for white america. we must have equal justice for the united states of america. and ch

george floyd's neck. actually looked up and saw someone recording him and his response was to push his knee harder into the neck of george floyd. so he did that because he didn't believe there would be any consequences for his conduct. that's the culture. so to get a cultural change, we've got to take a deeper look and it isn't, in my view, these reforms. they're important to just kind of, if we're going to keep policing as it is, but i have a real concern. we have this big industry that's now developed with bias training. so has it worked in my view? no. what it has done is, you know, maybe there are some officers who get it, but there's still people, officers using excessive force out there who have undergone the training. so there has to be something more, so i'm hoping that people understand that it's this issue. this is why people in the streets, not just policing, it's systemic racism that has been with us for 401 years since 1619 that permeated every institution in this country including policing. so looking at policing, in my view, we need to completely reimagine, kind of dismantle things and see how we can put them togeth

detainees in prone position which is the exact tactic that chauvin, derek chauvin used to murder george floyd. sontly have a black police chief, and still the minneapolis police department manages to murder black people in the streets. and so this is the vetting for what happened to george floyd and we saw with the murder of jam arc park five years ago, our demands back then were actually that we wanted to see the tape of the murder, right. we wanted to show to the public and the family especially. we wanted a d o.j. investigation into the 12 hour standoff that we had with the police in which they really brutalized protestors by driving their bikes into people, by drags a young-- scarfs, by punching young black queer women in the face. we wanted an investigation into that behavior. we wanted know grand jury because we knew grand jury would not get us justice. but all of our demands were really inside of making the system give us justice. and ever since then we've actually changed our focus, to focus much more on abolition. and what does it mean to reduce the scope and the scale and the power of p

i don't have faith that they'll actually give justice to george floyd. >> these protests have become about soh more than george floyd to so many people. what do they mean to you? what are you fighting for? >> i mean a lot of people across the country don't go out there with necessarily an intent or role yet. went out there really just to join the people. and i think, with how it's evolved, we are making progress in regards to the george floyd murder. we also can use that time to be constructive. people in general will see protesters, not as looters or rioters but as people, who just want to exercise their first amendment rights. >> what do you think makes this movement different? >> i'm holding my breath, really, to be honest with you. i'm excited. it's like, it makes my heart flutter, so to speak, but i'm hoping that the people who are out right now and who have been activated over the past week or so are around six months from now, because we need them. >> i've been different causes for over a decade. this matter has always been there, we're just adding people to the conversation. >> now th
