who is, david henderson, paul butler? who is safe? i'm sorry. sorry. >> no, that's why we're here and i appreciate you drawing attention to what's important about this case and, that number one, do any of us want to live in a world where young people can't go to the convenience store and make it back home when they are not committing a crime and they are not doing anything wrong? number two, what does it mean when the people who are supposed to protect us are the most quick to resort to violence, even lethal violence? not only did they kill him but some of the officers that killed him went back and took photographs at the memorial site mock the way he died. people who say they are there to keep us safe, how they treated someone who wasn't a threat to anyone's safety. they killed a young man because he was different, and when he told them so they wouldn't stop to listen. they choked him and drugged him to death. >> paul butler, in the time that we have in this hour, i just want to get your final thoughts here. >> two of these officers who were ch

who is, david henderson, paul butler, who is safe?tch my friend geoff get so emotional there, but you understand it hearing the words, the final words of elijah mcclain. talk to me about these indictments and the criticism that they did not go far enough, that murder should be involved. >> yeah, yasmin, in that clip we were three black men analyzing a case in which an innocent black man was killed by the police for no reason. i think we all had extraordinary sympathy for elijah mcclain, but we were also thinking it could have been any one of us. the whole world heard george floyd narrate his own death saying, "i can't breathe" over and over again on police videotape. and then to hear those same tragic words from elijah mcclain, it can feel overwhelming. so i entirely understand that emotional reaction. both george floyd and elijah mcclain were just going to the store. neither posed any threat, and they both ended up dead. so it raises the question of what a black person can do to be safe from the cops. you are right, the indictment an
