that was the text of a meme shared online from a city council member in simi valley, california.ge was a 30 year veteran from the rapil arapd, calls for removal are getting louder. that's where we find jacob so r soberoff. >> not just that facebook post and meme that was shared but given the history of simivalley, california, the location of the 1992 trial of the officers accused in the beating of rodney king, that took place where we're standing now. and the residents you see here today are here in direct protest of what they've heard from their mayor. this guy, mike judge, is not only the mayor protell tem but also a 30 year veteran of the police department. he has since apologized but that apology is not going over well with anyone here. this is not something anybody expected to see in simi valley, california but there are easily hundreds if not thousands of people here today. take a look. we've been hearing speaker after speaker talk not just about mike judge, this mayor protem of simi valley, california, but the same thing we've been hearing the past 12 days, defunding the p

it went through on simon and i saw police departments across california here far away simi valley, a soft fresno they move through the streets of santa cruz and in front of the procession. once the hearse carrying the body. gutzwiller and everybody stood at erica flags. >>homemade signs to honor him and his family to let them know that they're not alone. woman who remembers june 6 she lives near ben lomond. >>and she calls counselor. a hero. >>i remember the day it was very stressful for everyone in the valley, there was a code red out everybody was to shelter in place in their homes. we heard lots of sirens and law enforcement and i really feels sergeant gutzwiller died saving me because. save our community up there with protecting us and i feel is important too. >>honor him. >>and a lot of people did show up specifically because they know the law enforcement community across the country in the bay area, no different that they're getting a lot of chris and criticism for many communities so they purposely chose to come out of this location and almost be more expressive to show the lo

. >> rodney king, let me remind people in the rodney king case, the simi valley jury acquitted, so we'vet to be careful, methodical and we've got to make sure that we're playing the long game and that justice prevails, not just in the short term, but permanently. >> the president is blaming antifa for the violence we've seen around the country and in some cases in minnesota. have you seen any evidence that any of the demonstrations, the ones that have turned violent are inspired by antifa? >> i have not seen any evidence like that. i don't regard that as a helpful comment. i think we need to investigate these suspicious characters who have been seen breaking property and committing acts of arson. i have seen evidence of people doing that, but i don't have evidence as to where they're from or what their etiology may be. >> it is notable or it is of note, your son, who say minneapol minneapolis city councillor said "i hereby declare officially my support for antifa unless someone can prove to me antifa is behind the burning of black and immigrant owned businesses in my ward, i'll keep focu

but the simi valley jury acquitted the officers in that case. it took a federal trial to convict them of civil rights violations. and by the way, wolf, there is a parallel color of law federal investigation going on right now. but also in the walter scott case, a more recent case, that jury hung. and the state jury hung, and the feds moved forward on that one. trayvon maternirtin was not a p case, it was a quasi police case, and we all know what happened in that case. the fact is these are difficult cases. and, you know, that's why we have to work very hard and prepare very thoroughly. >> and that could take quite a while to get ready for a case of this enormous magnitude and historic perspective. but the video we've all seen now, it's so horrific, when we see that ex-police officer kneeling on his neck for almost nine minutes, it's so powerful, but what i hear you saying is, you need more video. is the police body cam video, is that powerful as well? >> what i can tell you is that it is consistent with what we have seen in the video that the wo
