and i'll tell you something, i talked to jesse jackson yesterday. he was in george floyd square, people were clapping for him, and he said his piece and went and prayed at the site where george floyd died. i asked him, what do you think about what has happened here, and how people are reacting. he goes, people were in a celebratory mood. he said, they're celebrating too early. there's a lot of work to do. and i think that is the sentiment here. that, yes, we need to let ourselves have some relief and reprieve and take a deep breath and say, okay, this is justice in our eyes. justice happened. but really, there's a lot of sorrow and so much more work to be done. the relationship between police and black folks in this country has to be dealt with. and use of force has to be dealt with. >> yeah. this is the beginning. thank you so much, sara. i appreciate it. >>> joining me now, minnesota state representative john thompson, a friend of philando castile who was shot by police officers in 2016. how are you doing? >> i'm doing fine. thanks for having me.

behind me is jesse jackson. the crowd here has been very calm, very active, talking about what they can do. i'm going to pull out a little bit here. i'm swept up in the crowd of people who are following jesse. he came here and the crowd cheered, but let me give you a theme setter. a very different feeling in george floyd square tonight, as you can imagine. there was a lot of pent-up tension, a lot of pent-up sorrow, a lot of pent-up anger about what happened and a lot of pent-up worry about what this verdict was going to be. now that derek chauvin is guilty on all three counts, he is guilty of second degree unintentional murder, third degree murder and manslaughter, you can see what people are doing. they're dancing, they're in some ways celebrating. not celebrating in being overly disrespectful. they know a life is gone. they have been praying down here at the area where george floyd breathed his last breath, but they feel they're celebrating because they feel at least justice has been done in some sense. the j

jesse jackson would do it years ago. he would protest in front of a big corporation that wasn't doing anything wrong until he gave money and then the protest would leave the organization. that's what they are doing, they think they can bully. i remember people stay away from coca-cola. now they are telling people to apologize for being white. apologize for being arrogant. apologize for all of these things supposedly that white people are doing, and that's a very racist sort of philosophy. it's woke, sort of critical race theory but it's now infected publicly traded company and when they start saying things like that they are actually going against what their mandate is. their mandate is to maximize profit but now they are turning off 40% of the country who don't really want to be woke up and told that we're horrible people and don't believe that there is horrible racism in our country. it's been getting better generation after generation and yet coca-cola wants to make us all feel like racism is a predominant thing and i

and to ben crump, reverend al, reverend jesse jackson, all those in my state who have been warriors forc moment for our country, we cannot confuse accountability for justice. because true justice is not done as long as having expired tags means losing your life during a traffic stop. true justice is not done as long as a choke hold and knee on the neck or a no-knock warrant is considered legitimate policing. true justice is not done as long as black americans are killed by law enforcement at more than twice the rate of white americans. and to use your words, katy, true justice is not done as long as your son is not coming home for dinner. our hearts ache for daunte in part because so many people in the room and throughout our state can imagine being 20 years old and driving around their neighborhood on a sunday afternoon, yes, even with expired registration tags, yes, even with an air freshner hanging from a rear view mirror. only some can imagine being shot by a police officer during a traffic stop. only some could imagine that this phone call would be their last. only some live with t

it is el sharpton yesterday, jesse jackson tomorrow, this is the stuff we see day in and day out buteeper analysis, what is going on in this country? i'm past looking at one person and say what are you doing? the question is why do we have people that are trying to fund the destruction of america? i don't know what this is when you black versus white, men versus women, women versus men, children versus adults, what is happening in this country? who is it that wants to see america torn apart from the inside out? that is what we are watching, the corrosion of america from the inside out. >> america is systemically racist and inherently corrupt to its core, it has to be managed by another entity or everything has to be federalized and managed by a good area of elites. but the unrest in minnesota is not exactly spontaneous, it is being pushed by a lot of activist groups, some of mel the press conference today. >> this anger is being suppressed i the actions of the state. we are petitioning for the immediate dismissal of all charges of people that have been protesting for the entirety of

keeping racial issues alive as a business in america, it's al sharpton yesterday, jesse jackson tomorrow bigger question to ask right now is what is going on in the country? i'm past the part of looking at one person like ben crump and say what are you doing, ben crump, the question is why do we have people right now that are trying to fund the destruction of america? we grew up in an america like this come i don't know what this is when you see black versus white, men versus women, women versus men, when you see children versus adults, what is happening in this country and who is it that wants to see america torn apart from the inside out? that is what we are watching, we are watching the corrosion of america from the inside out. >> laura: if america is systemically racist and inherently corrupt to its core, america has to be managed by another entity, perhaps or everything has to be federalized are managed by a coterie of elites. that's got to be where it's going but the unrest in minnesota -- is not exactly spontaneous. it's being pushed by a lot of these activist groups and some of t
