reform of policing that it can't be acceptable that a mistake like this which in minneapolis mayor jacob frye called a tragic but careless mistake could lead to someone losing their life in a routine strapped traffic stop 1st of all and 2nd of all in a case where the warrant that was out in his name was for a misdemeanor offense and that let ending up in a fatal situation some it's very difficult for people to accept so even though you hear in the body camera video where the officer who's a 26 year police veteran this is not someone that is new this is someone who also has been a leader and their police union who has helped defend other officers who have been an officer involved shootings that she would know her way around being a police officer so to other people in this community that's very alarming and that's why they are continuing to be very vocal about wanting concrete change they said you know law enforcement officials state lawmakers for example the governor have had almost a year now since floyd died that something should happen and here's another example and they think that this sh

in 2017, i ran against jacob frye on a police accountability platform.aid if we don't reign in the pd, we're going to become the next ferguson. the evidence is there, the statistics are there, but they want to appear progressive, and that means silencing the voices of those whose experiences don't mirror white minnesotans. and even now, our governors are speaking all this rhetoric, they're not serious about transforming system. it's going to be the people who make that happen. >> the rodney king case was in 1991. george floyd was still being accused of his own murder with the exact same terms. the same, he was going to jump up from the dead and be a threat. do you feel like, i mean, groundhog day was a good way to put it, i guess. >> and it hasn't -- we're seeing that defense all over again. and you know, he offered a smorgasbord of excuses for why this was reasonable policing. this moment invites us to think about what reasonable policing looks like. because you have to ask yourself, if what you saw in that 9 minutes and 29 seconds was reasonable polici

>> i should also say that i -- right after that call i notified minneapolis mayor jacob frye to say this is a situation that we have at least right now, and i would brief him as i received more information. i then proceeded to leave my residence, and i went directly to my office in city hall. >> when you arrived at city hall, do you recall seeing any video images or footage of this event? >> the first time that i saw a video of the event was after i was notified that mr. floyd had now been -- was now deceased. and so i'd asked my deputy chief to pull up what i -- knowing the area really well and knowing that there's usually a camera, a city-owned camera at that location, i asked him to locate that video so that i could review it. >> okay. and that's what we would refer to as the milestone camera or milestone footage? >> that is correct. >> okay. did you watch the footage from the milestone camera that evening? >> i did watch. >> can you describe for the jury what you saw when you watched the footage? >> when i first viewed this milestone video, what i was able to see -- and i should note

mayor, jacob frye in minneapolis, prior to all of this happening, leading up to the trial, said they would describe their security response in three phases. phase one around jury selection. we were in phase two for a long time. and then phase three would be their highest level of alert, so to speak, that they were planning to save for closing arguments and deliberating on verdicts. they've now bumped that up early in anticipation of some of that tenseness in brooklyn center spilling into minneapolis and then, of course, all of them melting together as we head into closing arguments next week, wolf. >> all right, guys. thank you very, very much. >>> just ahead, the pause in administering the j&j vaccine here in the united states. what it could mean for you, your family and the vaccine rollout. we'll discuss when we come back. when you earn a degree with university of phoenix, we support you with career coaching including resume building, interview prep, personal branding and more for your entire career. so if you commit to earning a degree with us, we commit to standing by you until t

. >> harris: critics also tore into minneapolis's mayor jacob frye for this tweet.rge floyd came to minneapolis to better his life but his life would have bet erd our city. the jury joined in a shared conviction that has animated minneapolis for the last 11 months. one user wrote this in response. i guess the liberal line really is going to be sad he is dead but it turned out good in the end. astonishing. and this tweet, ug, no, this is only a tragedy. justice for a murdered man, not your city. you know, joe, wow. >> wow. i think everyone is now dumber for having read that tweet or exposed to it by watching this show unfortunately. we bettered minneapolis. let's look at the numbers, shall we, under mayor frey? in 2020 they're seeing a 21% increase in violent crimes in the city of minneapolis. if you go to the north side of that city violent crimes were up 36%. property crime up in the double digits. while they dismantle their police force with that police force and morale at an all time low. if you live in minneapolis or surrounding area i'm certain that what happen

minneapolis mayor jacob frye welcomes the investigation as an opportunity to continue working towardeep 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 particular cruelty. the presence of children when the crimes were committed, and separately, state sentencing guidelines. the guidelines for someone with no criminal history, like chauvin, are up to 15 years for second and third degree murder and up to roughly four years for second degree manslaughter, but prosecutors are asking for a tougher sentence, bolstered by those aggravating factors, which could increase chauvin's time behind bars. all of it part of the continuing legacy of george floyd

with that, i'd like to introduce minneapolis mayor jacob frye. there thank you, governor, for your strong and necessary words and the partnership we've had the last eight months as we prepared for this trial of derek chauvin. i'm not going to stand up here and tell you it's okay when it's not. i'm not going to stand here and tell you that we all city, county, states, nation have made the necessary progress when we undoubtedly have not. we have such a long way to go. the cruel duelty of mourning yet another officer-involved shooting while we're simultaneously adjudicating at a trial, another officer involved killing is cruel. it's cruel. what appears to be a care less and tragic mistake in a profession where you can't make careless and tragic mistakes has not only further eroded trust with law enforcement and the communities that they serve, they're charged with serving but has been even more injurious to our communities of color, to the communities in minneapolis. i recognize that the press conference that we saw earlier in brooklyn center is unt

minneapolis under a court order to change systemic policies and we already know, based on mayor jacob frye's statements that he welcomes this investigation and is likely to be working hand in gloef with the department on reforming practices, not just dealing with individual personnel. >> so dr. cobb, that's how i'm going to distinguish between the two of you, because lawyers don't get to call themselves doctors, so dr. cobb, let's talk a little bit about the history. because the doj is looking into patterns and practices, but the history between law enforcement and the black community, that doesn't really have anything to do with the training manual or policies and procedures or patterns and practices. that has to do with how police officers see black people and whether or not they feel fear or see a threat. so how do you fix that problem, when there is an obvious historical connection between to what has happened to black people throughout history in every context. >> sure. and if i could just talk a little bit about minneapolis in order to contextualize this. i spent two weeks in minneapol

i just spent time talking to mayor jacob frye and he echoed the same sentiment we heard from presidento be the end of something. they don't want this to be the end of a story. they would much rather this be the start of something else. they were adamant, all of them very adamant about that, steph. >> craig, when you and i spoke before the verdict, i asked what this was leak for you, and on the ground. you said tense, anxious. what about post-verdict? >> relieved. just a sense of sheer and utter relief. there was so much concern that regardless of the verdict in some cities there might be violence, was there no violence. the protests largely peaceful all over america especially here in minneapolis. they called up 3,000 national guard troops and they called the courthouse in hennepin county and a great sense of relief and not just because derek chauvin was found guilty on three counts. no, no, no, and i think we talked about this two weeks ago, steph. it wasn't just shoaf oin trial in this courthouse, it was the criminal justice system in this country. for some it was america in general.
