Also, memorial day weekend, a lot of people people are going to honor Military Members who gave their lives in service, going to see how group of volunteers is going to honor the sacrifice of black veterans who service was nearly forgotten im looking forward to have a great show. Thank you very much. Lets do it right now. Lets start the show well first of all, it is may 25th, four years ago today george floyd was murdered in minneapolis. He was 46 years old. And if i now youve seen the video, then Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his back and neck for more than nine minutes is fluid repeated . I cant breathe well, that video touched off something in this country. And the big cities across the us and Around The World Tens Of Thousands of people at a time demanded an end to Police Violence against black people even in small towns where there really arent many black people, people marched with signs that a firm black lives matter before i go any further, this narrative that these were rampages destroying america cities. Yes, there was some arson, some luna tnking vandalism at some protests, but by the end of june 20, 2096, 0. 3 of the 7,305 Damage Striations involved, no injuries, no property damage. Thats according to a group that studies marches and protests. So weve now settled that but the summer after floyds death was branded as a racial reckoning in america was it and we certainly saw a lot of performances. Remember these this was blackout tuesday people posted black squares on social media. This was in solidarity with the black lives Matter Movement Record Companies that day said were not going to release any new music anja obama . Came off the pancake box, uncle ben became bens original eskimo pie is now eds pi. All long overdue, but that was not the point some confederate statues, they came down though not without a fight citys painted black lives matter down the middle of the street. That was not the point either the point of the movement was to End Police Violence and disproportionate use of force against black people but it didnt. Four years since George Floyds murder, use of lethal force still plagues american cities. According to the aclu Police Killed at least 1247 people in 2023, more than any Previous Year on record so far this year, there have been only nine days in which police did not kill someone the movement called for change in how Police Officers are trained and how theyre held accountable. But the George Floyd Justice and policing act is still not a reality. It was reintroduced in the house this week, where it will likely die again. So for years and where are we doing to me now is George Floyds brother, terrence floyd. Tara, its good to see you i want to start though with your brother. You didnt lose an icon, you didnt lose a catalyst. You lost a loved one, you lost a brother. So on this day, what goes through your mind goes through your heart . Of course, of course i remember the may 25th, 2020 but also i remember my brother as he was gentle giants, where we used to call them, you know, could use a big guy, but he was loving he was a compassionate. He loved the community. Tell he was in he loved the community that he was from, which was houston i just i just miss him, you know, and thats basically what im feeling right now yeah. You have since started a nonprofit and i wonder as you assess the changes since 2020 is there some substantive change that you see that that maybe i left out that you see that there is progress that is measurable. In the last four years . Well, like you said i started my Nonprofit Organization called we are flowing based out of brooklyn, new york on, on the streets out on a local star and the local sayyed, i see change when it comes to the people with unity, with love and compassion put a neighbor, i see that as far as the police, i see some change. I usually say slow motion. Its better than no motion. I see slow movement on it where there are offices. They always been offices in Law Enforcement. That kid for the community. And it was always the rotten apples that made it bad for all of them. But i see more coming out and really be a compassionate with the community, especially where im where im from im saying when im out in brooklyn, new york, i see that i saw that you were at the Funeral Service for frank tyson in ohio . Yes, sir. We showed the bodycam video early this month of where . In canton, ohio Police Officers there they knelt on his back and afterward, he said he couldnt breathe. The officer said that youre fine, shut the f up when you see an Officer Kneeling on the back of a man, he says he cant breathe. He then subsequently dies what what goes through your mind . What do you feel as youre there with another family . Ill fill it its hatred towards us for some reason i see hatred towards us and and it has to stop. Thats why my family, along with other families and politicians and people in the community of fighting to get george floyd policing act passed. Dont and what i want to let people know, dont focus on the name focus on the content thats in it what is going to do for future generations . How its going to help future generations not have to deal with what were dealing with right now. The house passed. The George Floyd Justice and policing act twice. It died in the senate the first time, mostly held up on qualified immunity, which offers some civil protections for Law Enforcement when you look at the movement that we saw in 2020, and this National Consensus, really a global consensus, because as i mentioned, these protests were overseas as well how do you reconcile . What we saw as a National Consensus that something has to change and the inability for that too the translate into some National Legislation does something ive been ive been charged to figure out for the last four years i basically had basically saying i stand on my work when i say its up to us as a community, as a race, as a culture to stay united because theres always going to be a fight against us but we cant fight each other up the fight together against the the era of everything, the spirit of every day. And make sure that we stay prayerful and stay stay in unity terrence floyd, brother of george floyd. I thank you for your time, especially on this day that so important. Terrence. Thank you so much thank you. Joining me now, is Cynthia Rosebury . Shes director of policy and Government Affairs at the aclus justice division. Cynthia, good morning to you. Let me start. Where terrence left off and thats the George Floyd Justice and policing act. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson lee introduced it again. Now, on the fourth anniversary or the fourth year, i should say of George Floyds murder, has the moment four National Legislative change past. Now that the crowds, the Tens Of Thousands of people have focused somewhere else oh, good morning. Thank you for having me and i said my condolences to mr. Floyds family frankly, this is another part of the cyclical nature of black man, particularly being killed by police. And theyre being an uprising in response to it. But no action by our legislators nobody else should die at the hands up police. Everybody deserves to be safe. And the truth is that there is an unbroken line between the slave patrol and todays police, including White Supremacy so. On the effort to change the law a National Movement because were going to talk as much about policing now in 2024 as we did in 2020, obviously, there arent the massive protests on the street, but we dont expect this piece of legislation to pass and republican controlled house is that moment over to pass something without the catalyst like what we saw with george floyd well, you know, i would hope not as mr. Floyd said, it we have to continue to advocate for this change and there is one glimmer of hope in that police, people who are outside of the communities that are significantly harmed by Police Violence are, are beginning to hear what weve been saying for so long and two a lesser Degree Lawmakers are beginning to here we see that by virtue of the reintroduction of the george floyd policing act. But a lot more needs to be done. A lot of bold action has to take place you follow Criminal Justice and policing for the aclu i wonder if youre seeing more success with changes. Some of these laws have banning chokeholds and stranglehold on the local level in cities, in states at the municipal level in places where there are alternative responses to police, there is some progress we dont ask one profession to do everything, and thats what police have been asked to do to respond to every crisis. The truth is he made Mental Health professionals and other trained professionals to respond so that we dont end up with lethal contact with Law Enforcement so in places that have begun to embrace alternatives to police responses, we are seeing some progress with respect to policing on the local level and state level because i think thats more interesting. Weve watched this kind of Static Standoff in congress over this legislation as it relates to policing. Frankly before the murder of george floyd. But certainly since lately, at some of the issues that we talk about, especially on this show, dei, some of the controls over restrictions and curriculum they fall along political leinz does this locally at the state level also fall on those leinz or are we seeing that some republican led city . Theres some republican led legislators legislatures are making changes what were really seeing is the need for a Culture Shift across the political spectrum in Police Departments we can really get legislation from either side of the aisle. But unless and until there is a Culture Shift within police department, you wont really see any significant change so while there are more people from a broad political spectrum beginning to understand and hear what communities that are harmed are saying it is the bold Culture Shift. Its a accountability right . You talked about qualified immunity earlier. We have to not allow police to act and to commit misconduct with impunity they need to be held accountable for their misconduct. And there has to be a Culture Shift from this idea that civilians are combatant. This military like language to the idea of serving the communities that theyre in Cynthia Rosebury with the aclu.
