we read today about the minneapolis police department or the city council in minneapolis talking about literally eliminating the police and rebuilding something in its place. it was unimaginable that a major city would be talking about that. does that thing give you a sense of possibility of what might come? >> absolutely. i woke up and saw that article in the first thing i read when i open my eyes this morning and all i keep saying to myself is what a time to be alive. the fact that the minneapolis city council is not only considering distributing funds so that we don't address the needs that communities have with police who aren't equipped to address those needs is incredible and it's a conversation that organizers and advocates have been pushing for the better part of 20 years. i can tell you what a time to be alive. i can also say i keep seeing things like the school district in minneapolis saying they are ending their contracts with unions and what that means for a decade of having police in his schools and now to state we are not going to do that is very, very powerful. similarly

sixth district of minnesota, where george floyd lived and where he was murdered by the minneapolis police department. as many of you know, structural justm isn't limited to police departments, whether it is here in minnesota or across our nation. we continue to struggle with challenges in education and juvenile justice and in health care. we, like many states, spend millions of dollars each year to funds an agenda that policing and mass incarceration. at the same time, we ignore funding that is needed for education and proper training for those in our communities. i believe that education is a basic right, that all students, regardless of race, deserve equal access to it. students of color, particularly boys and girls, face rampant and itination in schools is having a lifetime of consequences. black girls are suspended, expelled, and even arrested at higher rates, often due to discriminatory hair and dress policies. sometimes it is outright prejudice. these disparities fall especially hard on our queer brothers and sisters and students of color. in my hometown of minneapolis, black students are 40%

but it was the knee of the entire minneapolis police department on the neck of george floyd that killedow on the same day, reporters have been able to see the rest of the body cam video that shows the initial please contact with george floyd. it is roughly a half hour long. it shows officer thomas lane first becoming nervous when he cannot see george floyd's hand on the driver side of the vehicle. he pulls out a weapon. what becomes progressively more emotional and panicked. police attempt to get him in an suv. he panics. he sobs. he claims he is claustrophobic and says he cannot breathe long before they get him on the ground. it's a long struggle that results in floyd being pulled all the way from the driver side to the passenger side of the suv. then on the ground. officer thomas lane a couple times expresses concern over whether george floyd can breathe, and a very relevant portion is when he asks officer derek chauvin to roll him over on his life. he said no. he is going to stay put right where he is. these videos are about a half of an hour long, so i'm giving you a thumbnail sketc

in minneapolis, the city where george floyd was killed, there's been incredible tumulti over the police department. the mayor of the city who ran as a reformer was shouted down by protesters for not doing enough to reform police. there's also been a spike in shootings since memorial day, with over 100 people shot. like many other cities, atlanta also saw huge protests following the killing of george floyd and the tension in the city only increased after atlanta police officers shot and killed a man named rayshard brooks in the back as he was running away after he failed a sobriety test and grabbed a taser from an officer trying to arrest him. one officer charged with felony murder and the city's police chief resigned. in los angeles, where 30 years ago the lapd was the central focus of the last round of major unrest in the wake of police brutality. police also came under fire for using what seems like using excessive force against protesters. the mayor proposed $150 million in budget cuts to the police department that had been met with outrage by local law enforcement officials. los angeles is als
