george floyd. that is from colin kaepernick. another note on the d.a. in minneapolis. mike freeman. he did say more charges were possible. and that the investigation into the other three officers involved in the death of george floyd would continue. but to quote him, authorities felt it was appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator and that person was obviously the officer, derek chauvin who had his knee on the neck of george floyd. but, dan, you brought up rodney king. that is decades ago. you know, you could really make the case that we have not progressed very far at all. some would make the case that we've gone backwards. it struck me. you kind of brought to mind a conversation that i had recently with one of my friends. this seems so sad. just to be blunt, as a middle aged white guy, i don't think of this. if you're a black american, it does cross your mind. i have friends who have sat down to teach their young children, children of color how to be arrested. in other words, what if you get pulled over by the police, what you should do, what you should not do. put your hands on the steering wheel. all the

the fired officer at the center of the george floyd case being charged with third degree murder and second degree manslaughter. county attorney mike freeman emphasized that those charges were the fastest ever brought against a police officer. watch this. >> this is by far the fastest we've ever charged a police officer, okay? normally these cases can take nine months to a year. we have to charge these cases very carefully because we have a difficult burden to prove. >> freeman's statement came just hours after minnesota attorney general keith ellison emphasized that the slow process was for prosecutors to make sure they had a, quote, airtight case. now, members of george floyd's family and their attorney have taken issue with the charges against chauvin releasing a statement calling for a revision of these charges. here's what it reads. the arrest of former minneapolis officer derek chauvin for the most brutal killing of george floyd is a welcome but overdue step on the road to justice. we expected a first degree murder charge. we want a first degree murder charge, we want to see the other officers arrested. remember, there were three mor

today the ex minneapolis police officer who held his knee on george floyd's neck as he was dying, derek chauvin was arrested. mike freeman said the investigation of the other three officers present was on going. >> as fast as we've ever charged a police officer, okay? normally these cases can take nine months to a year. we have to charge the cases very carefully because we have a difficult burden to prove. >> joining me for what we have witnessed in minneapolis and heard from the white house senator cory booker, democrat of new jersey. senator, i was anxious to talk to you tonight because you have a lot of experience thinking about all this, about policing particularly when you're the mayor of newark, particularly the ways that we talk to each other and about each other in protest. what do you think -- how have you felt just personally watching what's unfolded over this week? >> you know, it's gut wrenching and it's deeply painful, and i think what's painful about it is the frustration that yet another black man has died, an unarmed black man at the hands of police officers and immediately, the rightful thing, we're outr

freeman. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> wind we want it now? >> now. >> george floyd. >> george floyd. >> look how many are defending this killer's house. look how many are defending thi killer's house. >> so, too be clear, we support the right of assembly of speech for political protest. we defend it relentlessly on th show. very few others do. the crowd marching outside of city hall is a call for justice and we supported even if we disagree with their physician. mob surrounding the home of a district attorney is not a political protest, it is a threat designed to subvert our justice system. he is supposed to weigh the evidence in a criminal case, th opinion of cnn anchors are not relevant he considers the actua evidence, that's our system, bu he can't do that, no one can if he fears he or his family will be hurt. the mob is aware of that, and that's why they came to his house. one of the worst things that lynch mobs do is distort the people who participate in them, who believe it or not our sometimes well-meaning citizens who become inflamed with bloodlust. th

george floyd yet. at least they urged patience on behalf of the general public and said this was a very detailed investigation that they were undertaking. and one of those investigators, mike freemanough the video was in his words, "graphic, horrible and terrible," there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge against these police officers. he didn't go on to enlarge what that might be, but i think it's clear that prosecutors on the ground there are very wary of avoiding the same sort of pitfalls police in baltimore — prosecutors in baltimore fell into five years ago when a black man, freddie gray, was found dead in police custody. later, six officers were put on trial and charges against them either resulted in a mistrial or the charges ended up being dropped. so, a very, very sensitive situation there in minneapolis right now, lewis. yeah, and david, it's notjust minneapolis that we have seen protests in, is it? it's not. we've had them in los angeles, we've had them in other cities across the country. there was a violent one here in la last night — at least parts of it were violent. two police cars were attacked. and i think this sums up the feeling here. we'r

freeman. as we look at george floyd, a man who was killed, who was strangled to death, that we can see on videoe of suspicion of counterfeiting. this is like eric garner being murdered because he was selling cigarettes illegally. are you kidding me? that's the first part of the story. reverend al, the second part of this story is the hennepin county prosecutor, mike freeman, actually coming out yesterday and lying, actually. if he is not lying, then, please, please prove us wrong. lying and saying that there is evidence that does not support a corr criminal charge. if he is not lying, if he is not just covering these officers' backside, then he has the dut d to provide the evidence in a time of crisis. to let the people of minnesota know, let the people of the u.s. know, let the people of the world know why these four officers are not in jail. finally, we had protests last night. most of them were peaceful protests. you were there for most of them. but riots broke out. the mayor rightly spoke out against it, saying it was unacceptable. you had the governor of the state saying he was calling up

officer derek chauvin had his knee on george floyd's neck is now defendant derek michael chauvin and this is his mug shot after he was arrested today. mike freeman announced the charge today at 1:07 p.m. minneapolis time. >> good afternoon. i'm hennepin county attorney mike freeman. i'm here to announce that former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin is in custody. former minnesota police officer has been charged by the hennepin county sheriff's office with murder and manslaughter. questions? >> yes, what charge of murder? >> he has been charged with third degree murder. we are in the process of continuing to review the evidence there may be subsequent charges later. i failed to share with you detailed complaint will be made available to you this afternoon. i didn't want to wait any longer to share the news that he's in custody. >> what about the other three officers involved? >> the investigation is on going. we felt it appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator. i must say that this case has moved with extraordinary speed. >> but it was not fast enough to stop protesters from burning down the police station last night. we turn

george floyd. i want to thank my good friend of many years, mike freeman for the hard work he's done.rk together. there is a lot of resources, talent and ability in his office on cases like this. >>> and i just want to let everyone know that we are going to bring to bear all the resources necessary to achieve justice in this case. and that means that we won't leave any resources on the side line as we pursue justice. i have had an excellent conversation with mr. freeman and we will be working together. this case is unusual because of the way that mr. floyd was killed and who did it. at the hand of the defendant, who is, was a minneapolis police officer. but it is not unusual in the sense that the attorney general's office handles criminal cases and works with counties all the time. this is not something that we are not used to. we have a criminal division of highly competent prosecutors that i have tremendous confidence in and we have talked, we believe we have the capability and will work with our counterparts in hennepin county to make sure justice is achieved. now, if i may, i woul

george floyd's neck. seven, eight minutes. and we heard the u.s. attorney say it's an incredibly disturbing loss of life. she said we are all grieving. the same from michael freeman. but he also went on to say this, yes, there splay been excessive force. the question is, was it criminal? and then he uttered, there is other evidence that doesn't support a criminal charge. all right, now, go ahead and give us your reaction? >> my reaction is simple. that is weak sauce on both parts. you have people that are hurting. the lack of nuance, the lack of sophistication. the lack of intellectual honesty. you have people that are hurting. i harken it back to king's i have a dream speech. the most important part of the speech, he talked about the fierce unjency of now. i heard don and i haurd laura. my thought is the same. you can't condemn the riots, you can't say here and say, why are you doing it qu in in neighborhood, when you don't ask the question of why? you talk about communities in in country where you don't have access to clean water. you don't have access to health care. you are inhaling polluted air, you are drinking dirty water. the schools are falling apart. yo

attorney michael freeman also calling that video graphic horrific and terrible saying no person should have to go through that and today. president trump was asked if he'd spoken to george floyd's family yet he said that he hadn't but that he felt very badly about the situation and called the video of floyd's arrest shocking very shocking. >>and attorney general fbi and the attorney general to take a very strong. look and see what went on because i was a very very bad thing that i saw i saw last night and i didn't like it. the police officer should be prosecuted, i'm not going any time now i can tell you i think what i saw was not good was not good very bad. >>the president says that he has ordered the department of justice to investigate the case that's in addition to the fbi and local law enforcement today kron 4 spoke to bury a civil rights attorney john burris about potential charges in this case burr says it could end up being murder or manslaughter. >>here you have a man as he is. disney was met the man who's grieving rain. and you continue to do it. well, whoever is the question when asked with mouse, you know, and so well, then you may have a murder case here an

george floyd on what will or won't happen to the police officers involved there. you heard from the u.s. attorney in the county attorney, hennepin county attorney mike freeman. he was asked why hasn't this officer been charged after seeing the video with his knee on his neck for 7 minutes and hennepin county attorney mike freeman said the video was graphic and horrific but i will not rush. this, as a concern about possible more unrest in the streets of minneapolis after riots and looting last night. we will continue to follow the story and bring you the latest throughout here on fox news channel. other news today, president trump making good on his threat to do something about social media companies he feels are biased against him. the president signing an executive order today. exactly how much it will matter is a big question. right now chief white house correspondent john roberts has that exactly what this measure is designed to accomplish. good evening. >> good evening. we should point out president trump is monitoring the developers in minneapolis very closely. the president says it was he who instructed the fbi to open up an investigation of what happe

george floyd is behind bars. >> former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin has been charged by the hennepin county district attorney's office. >> he had remained free after he and three others. county attorney mike freeman said the arrest and third degree murder came faster than any of the case involving a police officer. floyd's family said "we expected a first-degree murder charge. we want a first-degree murder charge and we want to see the other officers arrested." >> i anticipate charges. >> evidence includes a cell phone video, officer body cam video, witness statements on a preliminary medical examiner report. rioting, looting, and arson. officers at the third precinct abandon it and rioters broken the building and laid it on fire and burned it to the ground. >> it's an abject failure that cannot happen. we must restore that order to that. >> just after midnight governor tim walz took the situation out of local hands, putting the state in charge. the national guard is not fully deployed along with the minnesota state patrol. though still tense, the situation so far looks much colder than yesterday. asked why the guard were not fully deployed before last night in vernal, major general john jensen s

george floyd's life in a way this they did. i don't think that we should send this to a grand jury. i'm looking to hennepin county attorney mike freeman to make a charging decision to make it soon so that we can healed these officers accountable. if we can't or if we won't hold these officers accountable then it will just be another painful reminder in a mountain of evidence that tells our young -- in particular our young african american men that their lives are not valued in the same way as other people's lives are. that has to be unacceptable. i'm speaking up loud and clear about this ever chance i can get to everyone who i can. but that's not surprising, i'm a young african american man. we need everyone speaking up on this. we need our senior citizens, we need our white women, we need every member of our community who values life, who values humani who can look at a video like that, george floyd, there's no reason he shouldn't be going home to his family today. we need to all be speaking up so all of our families here, all of our co-workers hear us, our elected officials, judges, police officers, that we're all speaking up saying

freeman to act on the evidence before him. i'm calling him to charge the arresting officer in this case. a demonstration in support of georges blocked for a time by protesters. in minneapolis, a city with a police force that has long been criticised for tolerating racism, feelings are running high. george floyd's death has prompted comparison with previous killings in other parts of the country involving black suspects and white police officers. a problem this country cannot seem to shake off. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. a british charity dealing with forced marriages says it's seen an increase in the number of young people asking for help since lockdown began in march. karma nirvana — which provides support for people who are facing physical and emotional abuse from relatives — has told bbc asian network it's currently dealing with 116 new cases where women are being threatened with forced marriage or are trying to escape one. sheetal parmar reports. the hidden victims of lockdown, young people not going to school, couege young people not going to school, college or work are now at risk of a forced marriage. 0ne c

mike freeman initially coming out in minneapolis saying there's not enough evidence to charge the four officers. and so that got people agitated. and then i'm looking at the autopsy of george floyd, and the official autopsy, and i'm quoting now, no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. so you see a couple of items in the news that make protesters feel like injustice is taking place here, that the system is not going to allow for the prosecution of what we all saw on video. and i think obviously the video was key in what took place and why we're seeing the process that we're seeing. but those items added fuel to the fire, and i think some have made the case that are closer to the scene in minneapolis that had the charges come more quickly perhaps we would not see what we're seeing today. i don't know if you have any thoughts on that. >> i think that's a great point. of course, in these situation, people always want charges to come very quickly. and sometimes they do and they can. but in so many instances, the district -- the prosecutors want to make sure, the district attorney wants to make sure they gt it right. and file the cor

mike freeman was trying to pick charges that will stick because it's exceptionally hard to convict a law enforcement officer of first, or even second, degree murder. now, that's what the family of georgeyd says that they want. they have said it needs to be first-degree murder. what is your sense, as a prosecutor, of what might be the most doable, in terms of actually securing a conviction? based, just on what we know right now. >> to win the case, i think the third-degree murder prosecution is the right move. it has to do with intent. so prosecutors want to win the case, obviously. the less you have to prove, the easier it is to persuade a jury, beyond a reasonable doubt. the concern about first-degree murder is that the prosecutors would have to prove that the officers intended to kill mr. floyd. now, a lot of people think that they did. they may well have. but, in terms of persuading 12 people from minneapolis that that's true, beyond a reasonable doubt, i think that's a daunting task. now, we know that, in part, because most prosecutions for murder of police officers are unsuccessful. less than a third wind up with any conviction. and even when there is a conviction, it's usually f

freeman in his biography had a chapter with that title. about 30% of the virginians and the united states army in 1861 or made in the united states army. this question, compare george thomas to robert e. lee in 1861. why did lee resign his commission and thomas stay in the army? i don't how much you know about george thomas, but take a crack at that. allen: george thomas was strongly tempted to go to the confederacy. he almost did. gary: his whole family did. they wrote him out of the family. allen: he had a northern born wife. that was one restraint. another was simply the oath. at the end of the day, he cannot bring himself to go back on the oath. he had sworn and he believed, as lincoln said, it was registered in heaven. so, stays with the union but it was not an easy decision. why does lee make a different decision? lee is approaching in terms of virginia. i've not been entirely satisfied with that as an answer, if only because we spent so little of his time in virginia. most of his career is spent in other places. it is spent in georgia, in new york. it is spent in texas. st. louis. he actually spends a fairly small amount of his life in virginia. even growing

the four police officers involved in george floyd‘s arrest to be facing criminal charges, but earlier on today the local prosecutor there, a man called michael freemanle will be able to meet outside from monday, including in gardens — provided those from different households stay two metres apart. scotland will also relax some restrictions. from today, one household can meet up with one other household in a group of no more than eight people, as long as it‘s outdoors and at a distance. and some outdoor sports can resume including golf, tennis, bowls and fishing. in a significant development, the welsh government will change its message from ‘stay at home‘ to ‘stay local‘ from next week. it will also allow people from two different households to meet outdoors, with no restrictions on numbers attending. and in northern ireland, outdoor weddings with 10 people present could be allowed from the 8th ofjune, the executive there has agreed. large retailers such as car showrooms and shops in retail parks will also be allowed to reopen. let‘s get some reaction. claire conn is a mother of four on maternity leave, she joins us from her home in south london. an

tell me about mike freeman who, derek chauvin, one of the four police officers who were fired after georges for the other three. is that doing something to quell the anger? there is a lot of anger that is penned up over yea rs. of anger that is penned up over years. with a decision by the senate prosecutor several years ago, we had a case where a police officer shot an innocent australian native, was living in minneapolis at the time, she called 911 for help, the officer at the time shot and killed her at the end of the alley behind her home and mike freeman charge that officer noor with third—degree —— murder and manslaughter. it is a playbook to get a conviction against police. that is very hard in this country. there is a very hyper, police in this country have the right to use force and you need to convince the jury force and you need to convince the jury that the force that is used during a deadly encounter is above and beyond the use of force by other reasonable officers. so he thinks that third—degree murder charge is exactly the appropriate charging decision, but george floyd pozne

george floyd not in jail? if you had done it, i had done it, we'd be behind bars right now. i can't come up with a good answer to the question. i'm calling on attorney mike freeman the arresting officer in this case. >> that's the mayor of minneapolis calling for charges against the arresting officer involved in the death of george floyd, an unarmed black man, who died in the custody of police, as captured on terrible video. four officers involved in floyd's detainment now have been fired. on monday, video showed george floyd pleading with police officers, while one officer pressed his knee into floyd's neck for about eight minutes. he later was pronounced dead at a local hospital. initially, police said floyd had, quote, physically resisted officers after they responded to a reported forgery in progress. but new video appears to show the moments before floyd's death. officers removed him from a parked car and handcuffed him before leading him across the street. joining us now from minneapolis, nbc news correspondent gabe gutierrez, where protests overnight have turned violent. gabe, what more can you tell us about what's happening on the ground there behind you
