wake of all of these people as they go well you know george would die for the city of many hours jacob frey or nancy pelosi you know george boy died for justice what are they getting so horribly wrong about this well i think that part of what they're getting wrong is that they are actually listening to the civil rights in there because the community because there are also people who are they are also folks who are saying that this is basically you know justice served and civil rights groups advocacy groups bokes have been fighting for police reforms on the ground are calling this that at all we're calling it accountability justice we have get to see accountability that is what we got out of this out of this show the verdict but i think that one of the other things is they're trying to make this a lay down your life situation to change you know race relations to change and bring about reforms and acting as though that is what george 4 way was out to do he was not this is a man who literally walked into a couple. to buy a small item and he ended up losing his life literally across the street

murder, organizers with your group like visions collective and others convinced minneapolis mayor jacob freyp outside his home to speak with them. in this clip, we hear you questioning the mayor. >> [inaudible] >> go home, jacob, go home. amy: that is minneapolis mayor jacob frey telling you, kandace montgomery, "i cannot support the full abolition of the police." that was last june. i want to ask you to things. first of all, the words of the activists, something the floyd family repeated over and over last night in thinking activists, the only reason the first african-american elected to statewide office in minnesota , keith ellison, was in charge of this prosecution is because it was taken out of the hands of hennepin county by the governor as a result of the mass protests . then i want to ask about the protests very much centering around this whole push for defunding the police in minneapolis, including the city councils vote in december to cut $8 million from the $170 million police budget and divert the funds to mental health and violence prevention. lay out for us what you have propose

minneapolis mayor jacob frey put out a warning for would-be rioters. even though security forces stood down last may, he said this time destruction won't be tolerated, people coming from out of town to cause uproar and hurt people will be arrested. he also made the claim that white super mrs. groups contributed to the chaos. >> there were a number of individuals on the ground that were from texas, in some cases associated with the bulk of the boys, a known white super mrs. group that were substantially involved in chaos and destruction in our city. >> the jury today heard from courtney ross, george floyd's on and off again girlfriend. humanizing floyd, she told the jury when they met, he worked security at the salvation army. ross was there and visibly upset. >> he said can i pray with you? >> she also told the court both she and floyd were addicted to obits, that they got some of their drugs from maurice hall, who was with him the day he died but hall, a key witness was expected to say floyd -- invoked his 50 minute rate against self-incrimination. ro

minneapolis mayor jacob frey declared a state of emergency and the governor set a state of emergency. the governor set a 7:00 p.m. curfew for the entire city. and president biden mentioned wright's death. >> biden: we should listen to dante's mom, who is calling for peace and calm. >> reporter: and >> reporter: the n.b.a., major league and the n.h.l. postponed their games. a 7:00 p.m. curfew is in place and we'll see what happens. >> o'donnell: thank you. just miles away from brooklyn center, the prosecution at derek chauvin's murder trial is close to wrapping up. tonight there was emotional testimony from george floyd's brother, cbs' jamie yuccas is following the trial in minneapolis. >> that's my mother. that's my oldest brother george. i miss both of them. >> reporter: heartbreaking testimony from george floyd's younger brother philonise. he talked about growing up in houston and their close relationship with their mother. >> he would always be up on our mom. he was a big momma's boy. he loved her so dearly. >> reporter: he says their mother died before george had a chance to say g

governor, my friend and colleague mayor jacob frey wanted to be in his home city, i know he has a press conference he will make up to this. i talked to those leaders, i have talked to leaders in our republican caucus in minnesota. we have heard from nonprofit leaders, education leaders, we have heard big talk. we have made ourselves big promises. and now, as we move forward for the work that we have to do, we remember what we said yesterday. that no matter the verdict, the work in front of us is the same. i appreciate the acknowledgment, governor, it is important to have a governor who knows that it is unacceptable for us as a state as strong as minnesota, as wealthy as minnesota, as educated as minnesota, as home owning as minnesota to be as disparate as minnesota. it is unacceptable. we cannot allow ourselves to accept that, to to continue to accept that is the status quo. we will continue under the governor's leadership to push ourselves down these roads as a state. and i know as a country as well. as the mayor of the city, as a community member, as an african-american man, and as a

crew credit cards jacob frey who in the aftermath of the murder tweeted george why you came to minneapolis to better his life but ultimately his life will have bettered our city. yes the george floyd died for all of us the wasn't just confined to local politics as united states house leader nancy pelosi told a crowd of people quote thank you george floyd for sacrificing your life for justice. you know i'm sorry george floyd didn't murder him self so that a cop could finally be held accountable he was an innocent man going about his regular life trying to buy a piece of candy when a group of cops led by derek shove and killed him over a bad $20.00 bill. think about that well and start watching the home. she was. on a cd you streets. that are so you can see see rises joyce state police traced this crazy city this sleaze systemic deception is complete show which is some real. world where everybody is watching the hawks. and i'm just across. it is that owns me the amount of car cassidy but we are seeing displayed in the wake of all this of these people as they go well you know george floyd die

today we had jacob frey and others saying it's terrible and we won't tolerate it. it was nice to hear that, good to hear that. but do they not deserve any responsibility for giving a lot of these individuals the sense that they walk in with a shopping cart and keep coming back with vans pulling up, they'll be able to take it. is not going to be apbs for their arrest. >> no but also black lives matter in chicago said it's a form of reparations. no one challenge them. that's the real crime. even the president of the united states, when he talks about the cdc, that racism, systemic racism is the national health issue for blacks, that is the most damning condemnation of black americans i can think of. black americans are put in a position of being a most like an exotic pet that you must take and follow directions. it's the most insulting and degrading, they need to be challenged to say what does success look like? when we talk about solutions, we can take you to these low income neighborhoods they could use some of the money black lives matter is using to buy these man

minneapolis mayor jacob frey welcomed the investigation as an opportunity to keep working toward deep change and accountability in the minneapolis police department. while the head of the city council, which has tried multiple times to dismantle the police department, hopes the doj uses the full weight of its authority to hold the minneapolis police department accountable for any and all abuses of power. meanwhile chauvin, with his bail revoked, awaits sentencing, expected in early june as the judge weighs a number of factors, including aggravating factors, like george floyd being treated with particularly cruelty, the presence of children when the crimes were committed and separately state sentencing dpied lines. the guidelines for someone with no criminal history like chauvin are up to 13 years for second-degree marurder and four years for second-degree manslaughter. but they are asking for more which could increase his time behind bars. >> i can see him smiling down on us and just being very, very proud of us. >> it's not about black, it's not about white, it's not about asian. it

the irresponsible ways that leaders in minnesota, jacob frey of minneapolis who have, the way they've approach this, they demeaned their local police department, derek chauvin's trial is ongoing now with george floyd, already a heightened set of a fragile civilization there in minneapolis. i've spent a lot of time in that area as well, this is not what brooklyn center looks like and it's because leadership there is not responsible. >> harris: look, i was just talking to larry kudlow a couple minutes ago and we were talking about how the business is need to survive right now so we can go forward, post pandemic like that. 20 stores destroyed, those are the words of local reports, you know this area well, too paid one last thought from pete and i'm going to go around. >> pete: you know who loses in this? law-abiding citizens who rely on the police department. you want warrants in forest and police empowered and mistakes will happen, and if that happened just a should be served, otherwise when you remove that, citizens, this liquor store and communities are under threat because criminals

that before the derek chauvin trial and separate from this even began, the mayor of minneapolis jacob frey laid out these three phases. phase one would be when the jury selection was happening there, that lowest level of alert all the way to level three. and that would be the highest level, a level they were not prepared to go until we got to verdict deliberations in that trial. we're not there yet, yet we have now been upgraded to that level three, which now informs all of those law enforcement partners that make up what's called operation safety net here in minneapolis, which is, again, a combination of law enforcement and national guard. you're seeing that outside the brooklyn center police department. right now we saw the most forceful bit of this when it happened earlier. now this is what's left. you have at least one guy standing a half block away from the police line with their flashing lights with his hands up, a symbol really of what we have seen over the past year since we were in this part of the country a little close to a year ago, i should say. these are the remnants of the p

so governor kim wall and as locals call them baby mayor fry, jacob frey who really became mayor to imaginepaces and then found out that he had to do real things, i will be surprised if they do anything serious. we had a national guard who was shot in the windshield last night because -- the national guard will be in the middle of this and if it goes sideways, our minnesota leaders prepared to stand behind law enforcement and the national guard to protect businesses? there is a lot of doubt, and that's a scary thing for the blue in the green who will be on the streets. >> dana: let's go to the streets, matt finn live outside the courthouse to give us an update they are. >> right outside of the courthouse and the immediate area is calm. there is a growing crowd of demonstrators as you can see behind me the national guard is here. they have been here the entire time beginning in early march. the courthouse has been a fortress with razor wire and barricades behind us and people getting in and out how to be escorted and greeted by armed guards through security. in the entire area of downtown mi

pete: how do you do that when you got mayors take jacob frey in minneapolis who is absentee mayor wholeadership has shown not only a unwillingness to stand up to the mob but beholden to them black business owner doesn't have his business burned down when the verdict doesn't come the way they want it. >> well, look, i think it's going to require a nationwide movement that says we are going to protect our people. we are going to protect our property. we are not going to tolerate criminals in the street. you know, when somebody is out looting, that's not a protest, that's a criminal. they should be treated as criminals. and the fact that you have a congresswoman who is actively encouraging criminals, and also you have a congresswoman in rasheda tlaib who literally wants to abolish the police and close all the prisons, now, if you think about that for a second, in michigan alone you put several hundred thousand people charged with assault back on the street. i mean, this is a kind -- this is not a radical ideology. this is madness. it's impossible in the real world. we just have to stand

look at jacob frey the mayor of minneapolis fundamentally unserious leader who are totally unwillingdea of defunding the police. minneapolis city council already did that yet, maxine water, this is a new revelation we have overnight is that she actually requested a police escort, capitol hill police to go from washington, d.c. to minnesota. part of this defund. brian: katie pavlich had that story. she broke it. pete: we want to confront the police and call them out here in minneapolis but i'm going to bring my police escort with me? ainsley: sheriff grady judd who is from florida, he's calling her out. listen. >> the judge got it right. think about it. if you can't have sanctity of the rule of law, if you can't stand down long enough for a person to get a fair trial at the moment of the trial, that's a frightening thing. brian: by the way not frightening to nancy pelosi when asked about it she says no, she doesn't have to apologize. maxine talked about confrontation in the matter civil rights movement. i myself think we should take our lead from the george floyd family and they have
