walz: good morning, everyone. the past week was one of the most difficult in the history of our state. it started with the tragic and senseless murder of george floyd and it extended through the week of righteous anger being expressed by community leaders and all people of conscience. and continued to deteriorate into civil unrest and eventually violence and rioting. this morning in minnesota, the sun came to -- came up as it does this time of year, bright. trees are butted out. flowers are up. the promise of summer after a long winter is there. i want to say thank you to all of the people of and a soda who protected their neighbors, who took an unprecedented step last that an unprecedented force of our neighbors and public servants were able to come together, execute the most operationblic safety in the states history. they did so in professional manner. they did so without a single loss-of-life and minimal property damage. i am grateful to those folks. i am grateful for their protection of minnesota. again to ma

walz: good morning, one hour. everyone. good morning, minnesotans. i want to just say how grateful i am, how proud i am of minnesotans. for the second night, we have had the security and the order on our streets. it has been a very tough week, but to watch how saturday and sunday played out. a thank you

walz: certainly not.it is an example, again, i do not think we should do civic leadership via twitter. i think we have seen these situations happen. it is chaotic for people. there is a lot of emotions. i think that's why it is really important. and i will just say it. we have a void of really positive cohesive messaging and we have seen this with covid and some of the other things and i think it is creating this. so i would encourage everyone out there, no, it is not helpful. you know, as it turns out in this, and we will see how it goes, that i think somebody did something really stupid, got in a dangerous situation, with people on the highway, feels incredibly lucky that he did not kill someone, and is really lucky that minnesotans showed their -- they are better angels and he did not get killed in this after he got pulled off. i thought we were witnessing that again. no, i would encourage everyone, please do not do that. it is not helpful. and i think -- [ overlapping conversation ] yes, go ahead. >>

i have been excited about governor walz during the coronavirus -- he's a rock. mayor frey, he cares deeply about people. he did not come as strong as we may have liked to but he really cares and impersonally happy of how they managed and i am glad governor walz stepped it up a little bit. a lot of people are hurting in the community and neighborhood and of the devastation of seeing firsthand at this. >> help me with the conversation whether it is businesses or neighbors or other families, what is the conversation in the community obviously, there is legitimate outrage over the death of george floyd and now legitimate horror. i keep on using this term, circuit breaker, what is it? how do you convince people to stop the violence, he does not want patience, he just wants piecpi peace. >> yesterday the community came together and did a massive clean up and food-drive efforts have given people hope. business owners, we are conscious, we have to support these small businesses. i for one put up a post yesterday, let's encourage folks to rebuild and make them thrive. th

walz: good morning, everyone. good morning, minnesotans. i want to just say how grateful i am, how proud i am of minnesotans. for the second night, we have ha

walz: mr. president, if i'm still on, [inaudible] the one thing i would say you could do is...a lot of people don't understand who the national guard is and you need to get out there from a pr perspective and make sure that it's not seen as a occupying force, but it's their neighbors, school teachers, business owners, those types of things. that's a really effective message. pres. trump: ok, good. i think that's a good idea. i must tell you it got so bad a few nights ago that the people wouldn't have minded an occupying force. i wish they had an occupying force in there. but for some reason, i don't know what it is governors don't like calling up a lot of the guard. we have thousands and thousands of people waiting to be called up. is that a correct statement, general? gen. milley: 350,000. pres. trump: 350,000. you have 350,000 people and they call up 200. tim used that the first night what happened is after that he said let's go and i'll tell you, this was like magic. you saw thousands of peo

and walz was like come down to florida and check out jacksonville. this is an ideal situation for the president in this regard. it is a republican heavy county, a republican-run county and also on the border of georgia. the down side for jacksonville is this, i don't think there is a covered arena that would be adequate for having the big kind of rally he wants. remember that president trump is a rally politician. he needs those big crowds. he hasn't had that. and i think if you look at polling that is one of the reasons he's not doing so well currently. so if jacksonville doesn't get it, it will probably be based on facility and hotel availability than political will, win or desire. if t if the county or the city of jacksonville have a covered stadium i would be more sang win on their chances but i don't know how much of a good shot it is. >> as you said and every political expert said it is all about turnout, turnout, turnout, so in light of the pandemic how does that impact the get out and vote activities for both parties moving into the fall? >>

it's a phrase i used over the weekend when speaking with minnesota governor walz. he and i spoke a couple times friday and saturday as i spoke to him about dod's support to what was happening there. keep in mind, it was only a few short days ago where minneapolis was the epicenter and all eyes were focused on minnesota. but governor walz is also a former member of the national guard, and i was complimenting him on the call with the governors about what he had done. it was his successful use of the guard that controlled the looters from breaking the law. i was giving him credit for that. he was doing so so peaceful demonstrations could be held. so peaceful demonstrators could share their frustration and their anger. that's what i was encouraging other governors to consider. in retrospect, i would use different wording so as newt to distract from the more important matters at hand or to suggest we're miltitarizing the issue. >>. >> thank you very much for doing this briefing. some of the people that criticized you for the term of battle space were some of america's m

it is a phrase i used over the weekend when speaking with minnesota governor walz. he and i spoke on friday and saturday as i spoke to him about the dod support to what was happening there. keep in mind, it was only a few short days ago where minneapolis was the epicenter and all eyes were focused on minnesota. but governor walz was a former member of the national guard and i was complimenting him. it was his successful use of the guard in sufficient numbers that wrested control of the streets from the looters and others breaking the law. i was giving him credit for that so peaceful demonstrations could be held and peaceful demonstrators could share their frustration and anger. that is what i was encouraging other governors to consider. in retrospect, i would use different wording so as to not to distract from the more important matters at hand or allow some to suggest we are militarizing the issue. >> louie martinez. >> thank you for doing this briefing. some of the people that criticized you for the term of battle space were some of america's most respected former

walz: good morning, everyone. good morning, minnesotans. i want to just say how grateful i am, how proud i am of minnesotans. for the second night, we have had the security and the order on our streets. it has been a very tough week, but to watch how saturday and sunday played out, a thank you to our public servants out there on many different fronts. national guard, state patrol, police department, sheriff's departments, as well as those who are out there making sure we maintained utilities and everything else. also speaking of, watching yesterday, the whole nature of why we do these things is to allow for that peaceful expression. we saw large peaceful protests focusing on the systemic changes that get to the heart of why we are in this situation. and when i say "we," minneapolis, st. paul, the state of minnesota, nationally and as we have seen over the last 24 hours, internationally. a society that does not put equity and inclusion at the center of it is certainly going to eventually come to the places where we are at. this is a moment o

on saturday, minnesota governor tim walz said hehe had fully mobilized the national guard for the first time in his state's history, adding another 1000 soldiers to the 700 he had already ordered into the streets of minneapolis and st. paul. throughout the weekend, crowds of protesters were met with wave after wave of teargas, rubber coated bullets, instead gun -- stem grenades. this is minneapolis community speakingrk armstrong satuay.. >> they continue talallow e abuseso happen to the community. and sohihis is an uprising. we're notonondoni thehe violence that is happening, t looting, the writing. we understd d it, oughgh. we want the city to no burn step but it seems like that whatt t has takake order for them to finally start listining to u us. saying towe h he been introducpopolicyhangnges sisittg acroro from that mayor, from the police, and the goveor.. the city council members. wewe havbeenen tkikingo them. we he e beenittitingith ththem, urging them, c challenging them, pushing them and they ain't listen. we are tired. amy: minnesota governor tim walz saturday he had asked mark

as governor walz just announced, this morning we received guidance from the governor. relates to the demobilization of the minnesota national guard, and the return of part of the minnesota national guard back to their hometown and back to their armories. this is not in order to return the entire organization back home. any reappointment is coordinated with the mac and approved by the governor. we will accelerate as the situation improves, delay or even stop if the security situation worsens. with over 7,000 minnesota national guardsmen currently mobilized, i am confident that we can reduce our presence while meeting the needs of the mission task received by the mac, the state patrol, and the department of safety. you may see movement begin as early as this afternoon, as we take units who are not required to respond in st. paul or minneapolis and allow them to return home and begin the process of returning back to their normal status as a citizen soldier. in addition, i would like to report that last night, at 9:48 p.m., in the vicinity of interstate i-35 in washingto w

i have been on the phone today, with my governor, governor tim walz, who in 2008, as a u.s. congressman, representing district one, in minnesota, was the lead author of the federal, of the re-establishment of the federal insurrection act, which basically restored what the bush administration cut out from it, governor walz who again was the lead author of that act has guaranteed me that in minnesota, we're not doing it, we're not federalizing our troops. >> melvin carter, mayor of st. paul, minnesota, thank you for your time tonight. thank you for making news actually on our air. and our heart goes out to your and your city tonight. we're praying for a peaceful night and a peaceful resolution. be well, sir. thank you. >> thank you very much. >>> all right. much more to get to here tonight. stay with us. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ did y

walz put theernor attorney general in charge. good. in this state i put the general attorney in charge where the police kill an unarmed person. good, but it should not be the exception, it should be the rule. there is no self policing. independent investigation. give people comfort the investigation israel. -- is real. if a police officer is being investigated, how are there disciplinary records not relevant? once a police is being investigated, if they have disciplinary records that show this was a repeat pattern, how is that not relevant? by the way, the disciplinary records can also be used to exonerate. if they have records that say, he never did anything like this before, fun. that is relevant too. we still have two education systems. everybody knows it. your education is decided by your zip code. communitiesls and have a different level of funding. year we spent in the rich district. $13,000 in the poor district. how do you justify that? if anything, the children in the need moremunity services, not less. how do you justify that?

of the phone call the president had with the governors and here's what governor walz had to say. >> saying the world was laughing at the states who aren't taking action, i said, no one's laughing here. we're in pain. we're crying. we saw a man lose his life in front of them, and our challenge is that this is about social trust, social compact and reestablishing faith in the feel who are there to serve them and i also shared with the president that a posture of a force on the ground is unsustainable militarily, but also unsustainable socially because it's the antithesis of how we live. >> so you have the president on the phone call essentially telling the governor they have to go out and crack some skulls and then other governors on the phone calls saying that force alone is not going to solve this problem. governor jamie pritzker took issue with the president on the phone call and put this quote up on screen. he said he was having problems with the president's rhetoric. i've been extraordinarily concerned with the rhetoric coming out of the white house making it worse. people are fe

so, we've got an opportunity -- >> governor tim walz. and we will continue to monitor it, but he has announced that they have changed the timing of the curfew, 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. in minnesota, in minneapolis, and also, of course, we're counting the extraordinary facts of that tractor-trailer that ran into protesters but that the protesters who were peaceful protesters, then protecting the driver. we'll keep monitoring that for you for any new developments. >>> meanwhile, while most of the protests around the country, as we've we have been pointing out, have been peaceful, some did erupt in violent clashes and looting. and state officials are pointing to outside agitators, looking to stir tensions. on "meet the press" sunday, atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms was asked about what she was seeing in her city. >> this protest, even just from a physical standpoint, didn't look like our normal protest. many of our organizers in this city who often don't agree with me, have shared that these were people from the outside. they did not know

right now we are waiting to hear from governor tim walz and president trump with the conference call governors the last hour. he called the governors weak so far. barack obama says let's not excuse violence or rationalize it or participate in it. the former president says we have to model the ethical code ourselves. demand for justice and people calling

governor walz will address protests in the state against police violence. watch live coverage at 3:00 p.m. eastern on c-span 3. >> tonight on american history tv, a look at herbert hoover, beginning at 8:00 eastern, herbert hoover's biographer george nash recalls his world war i relief work which saved the lives of millions caught up in the war in the aftermath and set the stage for his white house run. this talk kicks off a night of programs from a conference on herbert hoover's humanitarian efforts. watch american history tv tonight and over the weekend on c-span 3. >> every saturday night, american history tv takes you to college classrooms around the country for lectures in history. >> why do you all know who lizzy borden is and raise your hand if you ever heard of the jean harris murder trial before this class. >> the deepest cause we'll find the true meaning of the revolution was in this transformation that took place in the minds of the american people. >> we're going to talk about both of these sides of the story, the tools, the techniques of slave

walz innk governor minneapolis today good job less night. caught which is understandable, but i think you did a good job. many cities use a curfew. again, people will argue both ways, but my basic point is last night was bad. the criminality, the looting was the most egregious. the people exploiting the circumstance. there is anger because i hear about it from people who say, we saw the police officer on tape in minneapolis. we have police officers in new york city who did not do anything like what we are seeing other police officers do, but it is seriously questionable behavior. the video of the car driving into the crowd, the video of the pepper spray after removing the mass, a woman getting thrown. apparently, egregious conduct and nothing has been done. ipo comfortable saying the attorney general is looking at it -- i am comfortable saying the attorney general is looking at it and we will get a report. it is only 30 days. whatever that report says i will do. in the interim nothing has been done. i get that and i am going to speak to the

walz: good morning, everyone. the past week was one of the most difficult in the history of our state. it started with the tragic and senseless murder of george floyd and it extended through the week of righteous anger being expressed by community leaders and all people of conscience. and continued to

heard president trump on that reported call with governors earlier hail the response from governor walzsaying he had done a good job. what have you seen and what does that mean about what you think people there can expect tonight? >> governor waltz-- walz pushed back a little bit while agreeing that the beefed up polic presence which was no nonsense yesterday did help de-escalate the situation. he said this was militarily unsustainable. that was on one of two pois that the governor seemed to make in his news conference today. the other point is he said the compliance with the stay at home pleas, essentially from officials, were escalated to be stay at home commands. and there was a great deal more compliance and tranquility in the city, relative to the days before that. so, so there was a little bit of pushback from the governor on what caused this. he said this is just not militarily or socially sustainable, it is the antithesis of how we live. all eyes are on tonight to see how it evolves in minneapolis. >> and we'll be watching as well, cerise castle, i want to go to you over in los

walz: good afternoon, everyone. good afternoon, minnesota. a beautiful early summer day in minnesota. i just want to give a heartfelt thank you to a lot of people for the peace and the generosity, the kindness and the love that's been shown on our streets of minneapolis, st. paul, and across minnesota over the last several days. last evening was another example of that. protests across the city. we saw memorials continue to floyd down one 38th and chicago. we saw beautiful interactions on the state capital where, out of respect, the national guard troops there told the protesters out of respect they would go back a way to the building and just take care of those vehicles which were out front, which they did, not protesters at that point. certainly, neighbors and friends and agents of change. we saw thousands gather in front of the beautiful minnesota governor's residence that my family and i have the privilege of occupying for a short time. the pain of the families who were there was visceral. seemsger of a system that to continue on. a group

instance, the governor has announced an investigation of the police department, the governor, governor walz, a democratic governor, is investigating the police department. the attorney general of minnesota is looking into the police department. we stand ready to act if we think it's necessary, but i don't think necessarily starting a pattern of practice investigation at this stage is warranted. another thing is, we have to look at some of the evidence. i mean, people-- you know, the fact is that the criminal justice system at both the state and the federal level moved instantaneously on ghep moved quickly with our investigation. but we still have to look into what kind of use-of-force policies are used in that department, what the training has been, smoos not something we can do overnight. >> golodryga: coming up after our break, the attorney general tells us about the forceable clearing of lafayette park ahead of the president's visit there on monday. also, i want to make sure to note that cbs stands by our davidavid martin's reporting, ae want to clarify here that the secretary of defense

play this because president trump kind of praised the minnesota governor, the democratic governor tim walz for knocking out looters and then he said the other governors in the country are weak. i want to get your reaction. >> we have to dominate. if you don't dominate, you're wasting your time. they're going to run over you. you're going to look like a bunch of jerks. you have to dominate. you have to arrest people and you have to try people and they have to go to jail. >> trace: your thoughts on the president's dominate quote. >> i think he's right but again, it doesn't sound like what he's actually talking about because i think he needs to amend it with a really clear and precise conversation that it's not about those who are out there seeking justice for george floyd and what happened to him and those who have suffered in similar ways in the black race in the past, dealing with police and others. i think when he makes those statements, be very firm about who he's pointing to. that i think will make all the difference. we have had to regain the narrative i think. the white house and repu

we're expecting to hear from a combination of either the attorney general or the governor tim walz. and unofficially when this news was coming down, this broke in the local newspaper citing anonymous sources about half an hour ago and at that time here in minneapolis there were already cheers here at the site, ground zero for where george floyd had his final moments unfold. again just a little over a week ago at this point. and now here we are half an hour later seeing this confirmation at least through a tweet from senator amy klobuchar and that is when the protesters have wanted all along. not just charged for against officer derek chauvin seen in the cell phone video with his knee on george floyd's neck but charges for all of the officers as well, brianna. >> and they've talked about why that is so important. i think, omar, it is hard to imagine if the folks were not police officers, that they would be treated with any sort of deference when it comes to standing by and watching someone do what derek chauvin did. this is been i think part of the frustration, right, and the feeling

burn on the supermarket, you burn down this clothing store and you give people space, but governor walz, he has space. he can get anything he wants, mayor frey, or mayor de blasio. they're not worried about losing the corner drugstore or a place where they buy drugs. it's the inner-city people that are burning down -- >> laura: they're the ones who are vulnerable -- they hurt the most. and victor mentioned -- >> furniture signal -- >> laura: doesn't create a single job, by the way. it's easy to do on twitter though. victor mentioned, then, facilitating the looting and the writing. check out what bill de blasio said today, earlier. >> when you see a nation, an entire nation simultaneously grappling with an extraordinary crisis seated in 400 years of american racism, i'm sorry, that is not the same question as the understandably aggrieved store owner. or the devout religious person who wants to go back to services. >> laura: in other words, you can bully people who want to go to mass or temple, or open up a barbershop, but you've got to leave the looters and those perpetuating violence al

also today we had governor tim walz stop by the site and wanted to pay respects and feel as visually as he could some of the pain that the communities here in minneapolis have felt. so he visited the ground zero site for the first time today and we spoke to him as he came by and he told us basically we only have one chance at really to get this right. and that is in regards to trying to make sure that people in this community and the protesters that have so passionately come out over the course of the past week and a half or so, feel they get the justice they deserve in this case, brooke. >> omar, thank you. gentlemen, i appreciate both of you. let's analyze on all things legal. with me legal analyst and former prosecutor elie honig and elliott williams. so elie honig, first to you, you wrote this week that you thought the third-degree murder charge was too light and it was second-degree murder which was more warranted. what do you make of keith ellison elevating the charge? >> yeah, brooke. >> i think a second-degree murder charge is aggressive but i think it is righteous and justic

and in minnesota, where protests started, governor tim walz said curfews in the twin cities would continue tonight. after fires and violent protests on friday night, police, state troopers, and the national guard moved in last night with a much larger presence. today, a makeshift shrine where george floyd died continued to grow, as residents left flowers, signs, and paid their respects. managing the lawful and peaceful protests that continue in the twin cities, while preparing for the possibility of more violence, is the job of state and local authorities. i spoke with st. paul's mayor melvin carter earlier today about his city's next steps in the aftermath of the death of george floyd. mr. mayor, i want to ask, what's the situation now? what have you learned from the events of last night? >> the situation now continues to be an extreme amount of emotion, an extreme amount of frustration and of anger around the wrongful killing of george floyd and certainly around the fact that we are still looking for some certainty that not just one, but all four of the officers who were responsible for

just spoke to governor tim walz and told him that the military is with him all the way. and we will assume control. but when the looting starts, the shooting starts, thank you. he also says great job last night at the white house by the u.s. secret service. they were not only totally professional, but very cool. i was inside, watched every move, and couldn't have felt more safe. they let the protests scream and rant as much as they wanted, but whenever someone got too frisky or out of line, they would quickly come down on them hard. didn't know what hit them. the front line was replaced with fresh agents like magic. big crowd professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence f. they had, they would have been greeted by the most vicious dogs and most ominous weapons i've every seen. that's when people would have been really badly hurt. at least many secret service agents just waiting for action, we put the young ones on the front lines, sir, they love it, said the president in a tweet. and the president said, and they've been greeted, and it is possib

>>minnesota governor tim walz says that the state's attorney general will take the lead in any prosecutions in the death of george floyd their attorney representing floyd's family says that there is evidence of intent and charges for the former officer should be upgraded to first-degree murder. >>we think that he had intent based on not the one minute to minute over 8 minutes, almost 90 minutes. yeah, he kept his knee in a man's make that was big and amply in for brown and what point does it not be about details of the man's face down with hand calls not posing a threat to an intentional we'll to cause bodily hall. results in death. every prosecutor in america will show that that is first-degree murder. >>the minneapolis police department have also fire 3 other officers who are on the scene when floyd died. protesters have continued to call for those form officers to be arrested and charged as well. >>this is about him in all those who are people of color who some for every single day from the trauma that we have to endure him a single day please give one moment just towards in. >>mayor lon

yesterday afternoon, governor tim walz, a democrat, said the legislature's failure to pass a bill was an "embarrassment" for the ate. a deadly shooting in minneapolis early this morning left one man dead and 11 people with non-life threatening injuries, accorng to police. the shooting took place in u aptown minneapoliommercial district with several restaurants and bars. the area is about three miles west of the location where george floyd, a black man, died while in police custody last month. officials said there was no connecon between recent anti-racism protests and last night's shooting. police said they believe there may have been more than one shooter. as of noon today, they were s stirching for the suspects who were described only as "individuals on foot." in the united kingdom, police are calling a stabbing rampage that killed three people and wounded three others yesterday a terrorist act. the victims were sitting in a park in reading, west of london, when they were attacked by a 25-year-old man who police believe acted alone. unarmed officers arrested the cesuspect at the. br

just spoke to governor tim walz and told him that the military is with him all the way. any difficulty and we will assume control. but when the looting starts, the shooting starts." thank you." "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." our president is threatening to order the military to shoot americans, specifically black americans. and then of course today, as he often does when he says something idiotic, he tried to reel that in. he claimed he was saying he didn't want that to happen. it was a warning. not a warning warning but a warning. the sad thing about how much he lies is he isn't even good at it. and i don't want to make this about donald trump because this sense of hopelessness and frustration that black people in this country have been experiencing has been brewing for a long time. and not just under republican presidents or even white presidents. this is not on the government. it's on us. but -- and i especially want to pose this question to older people who've seen this before in this country, who've lived this nightmare of race riots already in the

this and just the interaction with police it was much colder here thankfully minnesota's governor tim walz has thanked protests is for lunch the peaceful displays we saw large peaceful protests focusing on the systemic changes that get to the heart of why we're in this situation and when i say we minneapolis same path the state of minnesota nationally and as we've seen over the last 24 hours internationally a society that does not put equity in inclusion at the center of it is certainly going to eventually come to the places where we're at police in portland in the west coast state of oregon we're involved in a standoff with protesters they use tear gas and stun grenades to disperse crowds fire as well is and some trying to break police barricades portland is among the cities that imposed or overnight curfews. a weather update next here on to 0 then the longer detached observers journalists become a targeted for both police and protesters plus. i'm wayne hay in oakland new zealand we will tell you why corona virus may change the way our cities are designed. how the weather remains hot and

. >> several minneapolis city council members called on governor tim walz to appoint ellison, who has as attorney general helped reduce police involvement deadly force incidents. >>> two atlanta police officers fired for excessive force used during a protest over the weekend. atlanta's mayor and police chief there made the decision after reviewing video from the officers by the camera. video showed the officer surrounding a car saturday night and pulling a woman out of the passenger's seat and using what appeared to be a stun gun on the male driver. the couple did not appear to be fighting with police three other officers have been placed on desk duty. the well-known an historic church in washington, dc went up in flames during protests over the weekend. st. john's episcopal church sits right across from the white house. this was the scene last night as multiple fires were lit in the nations capital. the full extent of the fire is not yet known, but it does appear the fire was located in the basement of the church. >>> at 9:00 at the stations in alameda, including mayfair, lafayette,

governor walz gave us permission to be in the park here and what we'll be doing is serving the peaceful protesters and feeding the community as restaurant employees, feeding people with our love. it is how to put our hearts out there. >> reporter: you are being humble as well. there are a possibility of 10,000 people in the area. because of social distancing they can't get people in there. they have as many as 10,000 in the park. you guys are set to feed a thousand people? are you ready? >> we are. >> reporter: what has this done to minneapolis? the event and now this is coming together? >> so much, we are already an industry in crisis with covid. with this we have friends that have lost restaurants and we have friends that have lost businesses and their homes and for nights we live in faear and we would hear choppers and booms and sirens, and it has been devastating. seeing the way the community has come together. there are so many places that are doing and passing out donations of food for families that can't get to grocery stores and don't have transportations because we don't have s

>>it's a national news, this morning, minnesota governor tim walz says that the state's attorney general we'll be taking the lead in any prosecutions in the death of george floyd the attorney representing floyd's family says that there is evidence of intent and charges for the former officer should be upgraded to first-degree murder. we think that. >>he had intent based on not the one minute to minute over 8 minutes, almost mad men, its yeah he kept his knee him and make that was begun and pleaded for brown. and what point does it not be about details of the man's face down with hand cars not posing a threat to an intentional to cause bodily hall. results in death. every prosecutor in america will show that that is first-degree murder. >>well the minneapolis police department is also fired the 3 other officers who were at that scene when floyd died. protesters have continued to call for those former officers to also be arrested and charged as well. back in the bay area protesters gathered in the north bay in sandra fell to speak out against police brutality in the wake of the death of ge

we know governor tim walz is blaming white extremist groups for the violent protests taking place inis state. what do you make of the disparity here in this blame game? >> i think a lot of this underscores what we're all fighting about now, which is that on one hand, you have someone in donald trump and the attorney general who are so quick to rush a judgment and put political blame on a political ideology without having the facts or the data. the reality is those who have been arrested, the work to trace their origins, that could not have happened with everything going on. i think a lot of people feel like when it comes to donald trump, anytime abdomen action is being done where the optics are bad for him politically, he's ready to rush to judgment. donald trump encouraged some to exercise rights of free expression. however, when you have a situation like this where people of color are protesting a major racial ip justice caught on tape, there is a rush to whitewash what they're doing and assign it to a political entity without having the facts. donald trump seems more interested in
