CNNW Erin Burnett OutFront June 4, 2020
Floyds friends, family, and community leaders, you can see people here presenting about the loss of floyd and the loss for the africanamerican community. Floyd killed ten days ago while in police custody. His death sparking outrage and calls for justice across this nation. And tonight, those protests are continuing. It is now the tenth day. Right now on your screen, live pictures from washington, protesters gathered near the
Lincoln Memorial
, as well as in new york. The outpouring of support touching floyds family. Its a beautiful thing, its great love were receiving and george floyd is receiving. Because he would love it. I wish he was here in the present, in the flesh to see it, because all of this great unity would bring him to tears. And reverend al sharpton ending the memorial with the message that floyds death will not be in vain. George floyds story has been the story of black folks. Because ever since 401 years ago, the reason we could never be who we wanted and dreamed of being is you kept your knee on our neck. Its time for us to stand up in georges name and say, get your knee off our necks. And as that that moving
Memorial Service
was this afternoon, protesters were around this country and again this evening gathering again. Shimon prokupecz is outfront in new york. Shim shimon, obviously, a
Police Presence
where you are, but some very large crowds are gathering as well. What are you seeing . Reporter yeah, with just an hour to go until curfew, there are still several large crowds all across manhattan. There are some crowds in brooklyn. Were at the foot of the
Manhattan Bridge
here, and i just want to show you, erin, because this has become a flashpoint between protesters and the nypd. Because at 8 00, they closed the bridge. And what happens is, all of these
Police Vehicles
and all of these officers will then come stand in the middle here. They will put up barricades here. They really want to prevent people from coming into manhattan. So what they do is they flood the zone here with officers. They dont allow any cars. They do it on both sides of the bridge. For now, the protesters are allowed to continue. They have an hour and the nypd has allowed them in some cases to go as long as 9 30, as we saw last night. When they did start making arrests. There are a lot of groups, as you said, out there tonight. They are still demonstrating, walking the streets, whatnchant and police are still allowing them to do so, obviously, because its before 8 00. And well see as the night goes on how long the police will allow them. But were here because this is one of the central areas where police have been gathering, erin. All right. Shimon, thank you very much. And you can see in the aerial, you can see groups gathering,
Upper West Side
of manhattan, several thousand in brooklyn gathering around this city and in cities now across the country, as in minneapolis. Friends, family, and community leaders, civil rights leaders from across the country gathered to mourn george floyd. Sara sidner is outfront. Amazing grace reporter at the memorial in minneapolis praise god reporter
George Floyds
family took time to mourn. Thats amazing to me that he touched so many peoples hearts. You know, because hes been touching our hearts, you know . Everybody want justice. We want justice for george. Hes going to get it. Hes going to get it. Reporter
Historic National
demonstrations in floyds name are now well into their tenth day. What happened to floyd happens every day in this country. And in every area of american life. Its time for us to stand up in georges name and say get your knee off our necks. Reporter less than a mile from the family memorial,
National Guard
troops stood watch as three former
Police Officers
charged with aiding and abetting in floyds death made their first court appearance. All three were granted 1 million bail or 750,000 with conditions. A potential key witness, the passenger in floyds car that fatal afternoon, says his friend did not resist arrest, telling the
New York Times
floyd was from the beginning trying in his humblest form to show that he was not resisting. I could hear him pleading, please, officer, whats it all for. Minneapolis police have redacted highly redacted personnel files. They show
Derek Chauvin
, the officer now charged with seconddegree murder, had at least 17 previous misconduct complaints with the department. He was given a notice of suspension and was also reprimanded for removing a woman from her car in 2007. Alexander keung had been an officer less than six months at the time of floyds death. Prior to joining
Law Enforcement
, the four men held a variety of jobs, including working at mcdonalds, target, home depot and service in the
United States
army. They now face between 10 and 40 years in prison if convicted in floyds killing. Psalm 27, the lord is my light and my salvation. Reporter following the
Memorial Service
, reverend
Jesse Jackson
paid a visit to the site where floyd died. Laws must change for behaviors to change. Reporter what do you think about how
President Trump
has handled this situation . Reconciliation, not polarization. We need healing. Reporter and you hear reverend jackson there. He says, what really needs to happen the reverend says what really needs to happen is policy change. This isnt just about protesting. It isnt just about showing outrage and about calling for change. Its actually seeing apology change. We saw some changes out here as well today. The floyd family members who had not been able to come out here, who had flew in from houston came here today, and they went to the very spot where george floyd stopped breathing and they prayed. Erin . Sara, thank you very much. And i want to go now to reverend jerry mcafee. You just saw him there at the end of saras piece. He opened a
Memorial Service
today with a quote from scripture. And i appreciate your time, reverend, tonight. This is your community. Youre a longtime leader there, a member of this community. What did todays service mean to you . Well, i spoke on two levels. One, pain and possibility. The pain of a life that was snuffed out way too soon, that we cannot get back, contributed to by a system that has constantly and consistently been on our necks as africanamericans in the state of minnesota, minneapolis, and st. Paul in particular. So to see the myriad of people that was gathered there from the
Different Levels
of government who can do something with public policy, as it pertains to us as a people, that prayerfully, that they would see that body, they would see that casket, and john 12 would come up. Except a grain of wheat would fall into the earth and die, it would bring forth no fruit. If we dont allow this death to bring forth more life for us as a people, and what ive discovered here in this city, its called minnesota nice, but in the words of ronnie patterson, for us, its been minnesota ice. So you opened the
Service Today
by quoting scripture, you opened with psalm 27. It reads in part, and we heard you say part of it there, the lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall i fear. The lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom i shall be afraid. When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foe who will stumble and fall. Why did you choose that passage . It speaks volumes to what we need right now. Normally one of the first levels of trauma, you have a propensity and a tendency to disconnect from god. And what i wanted them to leave with, number one, the reality of god. Number two, that the possibility of relationship. And then what god does for us. There is no need for strength if youve never experienced weakness. You can never appreciate light until youve been through the midnight. And so i wanted our people and others to understand that as weak as one may be, as dark as we may think it is, we have a relationship with the tr transcendent god that can do anything but fail and in spite of trials and tribulations and haters, we can make it. Reverend mcafee, i appreciate your time. Thank you very much tonight, sir. Thank you. Byebye. Outfront now, melissa murray. Shes professor at law at the ny school of law. I appreciate both of you being with us tonight. Lz, i want to play for you how floyd family
Attorney Ben Crump
described this moment today at the memorial. Here he is. What we endeavor to achieve is equal justice for the
United States
of america and george floyd is the moment that gives us the best opportunities i have seen in a long time of reaching that high idea. Lz, of course,
Benjamin Crump
has been at the front of some of these horrible events. And he thinks that this is this could be a moment that something changes. Do you think this moment is truly different . Well, its definitely different in the sense of, theres no where are to run for the average american. Because the pandemic has had us in our homes, because the unemployment is near
Great Depression
proportions, theres just a lot of people who dont have the natural escapes. You cant go to a game. You cant go to a bar or restaurant. You cant go to the theater or the movies. In some cases, unfortunately, you cant even go to work. So youre forced to sit here and deal with this reckoning. So i do agree with the environment from a citizenship perspective. This is the best opportunity. And then also politically, you know, the people have always dictated the movement. Weve always dragged the politicians with us. And so now people are beginning to see theres a lot more cover in terms of
Political Capital
to actually get some things done. So, yes, i do agree with that. So melissa, you know, at the
Memorial Service
, there were a lot of calls for justice, right . And you heard that from
Benjamin Crump
and from the reverend. But at the same time, the bail hearing today, the lawyers for the three assisting officers who have now been charged, they all attacked the strength of the governments case, right . They say chauvin was on the force for a long time, he outranked the others. One of them had only been on the force for six months. How effective do you think those arguments could be in terms of getting those other three officers, who now finally have been charged because of these protests around the country, off the hook . Well, it will all depend on how this plays out to a jury. And of course, a jury trial wont be immediate. It will happen some time in the future. Maybe even a year in the future. And a lot will depend on whether the jury receives the understanding that the chain of command is something that these officers are trained to not only observe, but to follow at great pain. And so i think it was an effective strategy for the defense, an expected strategy to the defense to make clear that officer chauvin was calling the shots and these officers were merely following directions. The big question, of course, will be for the prosecutor to show that what officer chauvin was doing was so outrageous, so lawless, in fact, that these officers were actually obliged to depart from his instructions and actually intervene. And that will be a question that the jury will have to weigh. So, lz, one person who will likely be a witness at the trial, of course, is the person who was there, floyds friend,
Maurice Lester
hall. He was in the car when floyd was arrested. He spoke today for the first time. He told the
New York Times
in part, and i quote, he was just crying out at that time for anyone to help. He was dying. Im going to always remember seeing the fear in floyds face, because hes such a king. Thats what sticks with me. Seeing a grown man cry before seeing a grown man die. And you know, lz, you talk about how people couldnt go anywhere and had to watch this video in a way perhaps that
Many Americans
have not focused, frankly, on these horrific videos that have come in the past. This horrible moment. How important is this video in shaping the response that were seeing across this country and frankly, around the world right now . You know, im conflicted with the answer to that question. One, because of the video, its been very effective in terms of getting the word out, building a coalition that erin ive been covering protests and deaths of this nature for quite some time. And participated in covering or being a part of the rodney king pr protests back in the early 90s. So a long, long time. So the video certainly has helped to rally people of different cultures and ages and races. I appreciate that. But can you tell me which aspect of that video youve never seen before . Was it the part where he said i cant breathe . Was it the part in which an officer was there taking a persons life who is unarmed . Was it the lack of care during the process . Which aspect of this video has america not been expoed to already . So, yes, on the one hasnt, the video was effective in helping to rally, but i also would ask the question, which part of the video havent we already seen . Yeah. Which raises the question of and i know youre hopeful to be different, but that is the crucial question facing this country, is to whether change will happen because of this. I thank you both very much for your time. You see chicago, people rallying still, ten days and people across this country are still coming out to have their voices be heard. Next,
President Trump
is facing an unprecedented revolt for his military leaders about what he wants to do to those very crowds, threatening to have the u. S. Military suppress the protests. Tonight, the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under george w. Bush, retired fourstar general
Richard Meyer
is outfront. An outfront exclusive. Plus, the white house adding more fencing, more barriers around the white house tonight despite several nights of peaceful protests. And another man who cried out i cant breathe dies in police custody. What happened . If you have moderate to severe psoriasis,. Little things. Can become your big moment. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not a cream. Its a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. With otezla, 75 clearer skin is achievable. Dont use if youre allergic to otezla. It may cause severe diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. Otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. Tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. Some people taking otezla reported weight loss. Your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. Upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. Tell your doctor about your medicines, and if youre pregnant or planning to be. Otezla. Show more of you. Because i trust their quality they were the first to have a vitamin verified by usp. An independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards nature made, the 1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand thcan it helpber 360 smartkeep me asleep . Now. The 1 pharmacist recommended absolutely, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable and now, save up to 600 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. Plus, 0 interest for 48 months on all beds. Only for a limited time. Tonight, military heavyweights rebuking the president of the
United States
. John kelly, a retired marine, fourstar general, trumps former chief of staff okay. Okay, im sorry about that. Well be going to that in just a moment. I want to take you right now, though, to washington and our own brian todd, who is there at the
Lincoln Memorial
where there are live protests going on right now. Brian, what are you seeing . Reporter well, erin, we had a group of several hundred protesters here just a short time ago. They are now joined by several hundred others, marching from another part of town. I dont know if theyre coming from
Lafayette Square
near the white house or coming from somewhere else, but this crowd is about to get a lot bigger. The narrative here tonight is, its been very peaceful and that the confrontational attitude between the protesters and the police has really diminished tonight, to the point where there really hasnt been any confrontation. The police and the
National Guard
have completely drawn back. The curfew here has been canceled, as it has in a couple of other cities, we know. Ill have our photojournalist, eddie gross, kind of take you in there. Hell lift his camera up a little bit, as you see this group kind of marching to join this group here. Several spirited speeches here at the foot of the
Lincoln Memorial
. Again, a far cry from what its been over the past several nights when here, there was some graffiti placed. There was some graffiti placed across the reflecting pond there at the world war ii memorial. Protests got ugly with tear gas here in washington. A couple of nights this week. But again, the mayor of d. C. ,
Muriel Bowser
has said, she wants federal troops that have been here out of the city. They all havent left yet, but we can see, theres a marked difference in the way this is unfolding from the past few nights. The
Law Enforcement
presence is not visible. They have drawn back. National guard troops have drawn back. And you know, its been very pae peaceful so far. This crowd is about to get a lot bigger. As we can see, very, very peaceful right now. But interesting as that presence pulls back how much bigger that crowd will get. Brian, well check back in with you. As were watching whats happening there and crowds building in new york here as well, it is just after that memorial for george floyd, which included calls for change in how black americans are treated. When we fight for the george floids of the world, but more importantly, when we fight for the unknown
Lincoln Memorial<\/a>, as well as in new york. The outpouring of support touching floyds family. Its a beautiful thing, its great love were receiving and george floyd is receiving. Because he would love it. I wish he was here in the present, in the flesh to see it, because all of this great unity would bring him to tears. And reverend al sharpton ending the memorial with the message that floyds death will not be in vain. George floyds story has been the story of black folks.

As were watching whats happening there and crowds building in new york here as well, it is just after that memorial for george floyd, which included calls for change in how black americans are treated. When we fight for the george floids of the world, but more importantly, when we fight for the unknown
George Floyds<\/a> of the world. When we fight for
Trayvon Martins<\/a> of the world. When we fight for the terence crutches of the world. When we fight for the
Michael Browns<\/a> of the world. When we fight for the alton stanleys of the wofrrld. When we fight for the philando c ka steels of the world. When we fight for the ahmau ahm rist of the world. When we fight for the
Stephen Clarks<\/a> of the world. When we fight for the least of these, what we are really doing is helping america live up to its creed. A very powerful moment. Outfront now, family members of the two of the people you just
Benjamin Crump<\/a> mention. Clarence castillo is here. And sybrina fulton,
Trayvon Martins<\/a> mother. He was 17 when he was shot and killed by george zimmerman, a
Neighborhood Watch<\/a> volunteer, while trayvon was walking home from a convenience store. Sabrina is now running for a seat on the
Miamidade County<\/a> commission. Sabrina, let me start with you. That moment is one that is poignant for anyone watching. But for you, as trayvons mother, what were you feeling as you heard your sons name from
Benjamin Crump<\/a> today . Ive heard my sons name for the last probably eight years, but it still hurts a great deal. But i have a lot of respect for people that continue to say
Trayvon Martin<\/a>. I have a lot of respect for them. It shows their support and it shows that they have not forgotnt about trayvon and the other people that you dont know about, their names. You know, clarence, i want to play
Something Else<\/a> from todays memorial. And this is a brother of george floyd. Here he is. Thats crazy, man. All of these people came to see my brother and thats amazing to me, that he touched so many people hearts. You know, because he been touching our hearts. Everybody want justice. We want justice for george. Hes going to get it. Hes going to get it. Clarence, we have seen protests across the nation demanding justice for george floyd. You know, protests that weve never really seen anything like, right, in recent years . I mean, have you ever experienced anything like were seeing now for the tenth night . Live pictures of ft. Worth tonight. Everyone gathering across this country. Throughout my good evening, erin and sabrina, first of all. But throughout my 59 years on this earth, ive never seen anything like this. But with all of the loss of life and death thats gone on in our country, its time for us to stand up and say, enough is enough. And this is a prime example of what it would be like and what it can turn into in the future, if we dont make some changes and get some accountability. You know, sabrina, after the not guilty verdict in your sons death, a moment that shocked so many in this country, then president obama gave a powerful speech, right . Amidst that outrage, over that verdict, he spoke and said that what happened to your son could have happened to any young africanamerican man, including himself. Heres what he said. When
Trayvon Martin<\/a> was first shot, i said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is,
Trayvon Martin<\/a> could have been me 35 years ago. Sabrina, it was a moment that so many turned to in the outrage over that verdict. What are you looking to hear from leaders right now . And from who . Well, weve seen some of the leaders that have come out, such as reverend sharpton,
Jesse Jackson<\/a>, jamal brian, even
Benjamin Crump<\/a>. You know, we saw the grassroots organizers to come out, as well. But what im hoping to see is, i want people to understand that the arrests of those officers for george is the first step. And you really still have hope when theres an arrest. And thats what we needed. We needed to have an arrest. But now we need to make sure that they get all of their
Court Hearings<\/a> in the process continues so they can get a prosecution. So that they can get a conviction. So that we can know that the person who took a life, who took
George Floyds<\/a> life, to make sure that that person is held accountable. All too often, theres a loss of life, and from the result of africanamericans. And nobody is held accountable. And so this is the time when we were able to see the video, because had we not seen a video, there would be a different narrative. And so the video was in place. We did not see a struggle. We did not see him resisting arrest. And so they need to answer why did they take his life. Why did that officer take his life and why didnt the other officers respond to what they were seeing, we just saw a blatant blatantly, we saw a man being killed because of the color of his skin. I know that both of you have now changed your lives in so many ways. With the great loss that you have endured and also you have turned that, though, to political action. Sabrina, youre now running for council. Terence, you have become a reserve
Police Officer<\/a> to try to improve relations between the community and police after your nephew was killed. What message do you have for the floyd family, for this country about what can be done between police and communities of color. I would say to the floyd family to keep the faith and believe that justice can be done. I would say to america, the same thing. Keep the faith. I mean, if you can be a part of the process, learn to be a part of the process and become a part of the solution, our young people need to know that they can get educations, get jobs as lawyers, politicians,
Police Officers<\/a> and be able to protect your communities along with yourselves and your families. All right. I appreciate both of your time so very much. And i thank you. Thank you, erin.

United States<\/a>, john kelly, retired marine fourstar general,
President Trump<\/a>s former chief of staff, defending former defense secretary jim mattis after mattis slammed trump in a scathing statement, calling him out on the constitution, on his leadership and much more. And theyre far from the only ones. Former u. S. Forces afghanistan commander, general john allen, says
President Trump<\/a>s threat to use the military to quell protests, quote, may well signal the beginning of the end of the american experiment. In addition to mattis and allen, theres the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under president s bush and obama, admiral mike mullen. General martin dempsey, and admiral james stavridis. And of course, the current defense secretary, mark esper has now split with the president over his threat to use the u. S. Military against americans. Lets just remind everyone what the president said in his address from the rose garden to america. If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the
United States<\/a> military and quickly solve the problem for them. Outfront now, in an exclusive interview, retired fourstar general,
Richard Myers<\/a>, the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under president george w. Bush and now the president of kansas state university. I appreciate your time tonight. What is your reaction to the president of the
United States<\/a> threatening to use u. S. Troops against american protesters . Well, i think you just have to go back to the constitution and the constitution under the
First Amendment<\/a>, and all the articles and amendments, of course. The
First Amendment<\/a> guarantees the
American People<\/a> the right to protest their government and ask for redress for grievances. And theres nothing thats in accordance with our constitution. So the people are doing what the constitution allows and they should be allowed to do it. So you know, when you see the events around the white house, and as it unfolded on monday night, of course. Batons, rubber bullets, pepper spray used to disperse a largely peaceful crowd so that the president , of course, it was cleared so he could go across the street for that photo op in front of st. Johns episcopal church, what went through your mind as a former, you know, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, former top military official in this land when you saw that, sir . Well, the first thing was, was just absolute sadness. That people arent allowed to protest and that as i understand it, that was a peaceful protest that was disturbed by force and thats not right. That should not happen in america. And so i was sad. I mean, we should all shed tears over that, that particular act. The other thing i thought, and this is probably very selfish, i said, im glad i dont have to advise this president , because it would be im sure the
Senior Military Leadership<\/a> is finding it really difficult these days to provide good, sound, military advice. Well, it seems he listens to what he wants to listen to. I mean, you talk about seeing that. One of the things, as i was sitting here watching that was the defense secretary, mark esper, and the current joint chiefs of staff, chairman mark mi milley accompanied him. And now they say they did not know what the president was going to do. What do you make of this situation . I mean, do you think they were just taken advantage and coopted . And what does that mean . Well, that can happen. Things happen fast around the white house, as we all know. And i think secretary esper, i believe him, that he may not have known where he was going and i thought his statements afterwards were very appropriate. I havent and i will not talk to general milley, hes got enough on his plate, but i do not know how he felt about that. Ive been in situations where sometimes, when i was still in office, where you sometimes wonder if theyre going to use you for a certain thing and you know, you try your best not to be that person. And so i felt actually, i felt sorry for them, too. Frankly, that they may have i dont know. I do not have facts. I dont know if they were placed in a position that they were uncomfortable with. So you know, you say you believe secretary esper, he said he didnt know it was happening. The former cia director, general michael hayden, former colleague of yours, he says secretary esper should resign because of all of this. Do you agree with that or do you think thats a step too far . Listen, last thing im going to do is ask the secretary of defense to resign. These are very difficult jobs. I thought secretary espers statement afterwards was appropriate and, you know, i think he brought back some of the words that perhaps had been used earlier about, you know, dominating the battle space or whatever those terms were. Really inappropriate. Lets go back to the constitution, which every military officer and every
Public Servant<\/a> swears to support and defend. And that is the
First Amendment<\/a> as part of that, which gives people the right to peacefully protest. And on that particular incident, they were peacefully protesting. And thats that was uh unconstitutional. You know, you left your post, obviously, in 2005. And obviously, i know youre running a university now, but you dont speak out often, general myers, yet youre choosing to now. Why . Why is this moment so important to you . Well, theres something about the constitution, in all the constitution is described in articles i and ii and they go to civilians. So as even a former military officer, a former senior military officer, i think i still respect civilian authority and im loathe to criticize political figures. And im not doing that tonight, i dont believe. But the situation were in right now, i think i know general dempsey pretty well. I know how he thinks about these things. Secretary mattis, general mattis, general allen, they all and admiral mullen, they all think, take all of this very, very seriously. They want our military to be nonpartisan and apolitical. Not only in deed, but perceived to be. And so one of the reasons i dont speak a lot is i dont want our military to be perceived as being political. Thats another big danger to our country. There are lots of dangerous, but thats a big one if the military becomes politicized or is used for political purposes. It is an incredible moment in time, though, when you have all of these senior, you know, you have people in the defense department, of course, who have stood up for stood up now against what the president said and now leaders like yourself. You know, that you feel this about the constitution. You feel this about the moment. So you may not want to be political, but the person whos doing it, of course, is a politician, is the president of the
United States<\/a>. And in another
Major Development<\/a> today, lisa murkowski, you know, the republican senator who, you know, has often faced moral quandaries about how to handle things with this president , says she supports what mattis says and she is struggling over whether to support the president in the next election. I dont want to be political, but can you square a circle where the president is violating the constitution and republicans are still supporting him . Highlevel republicans. Ill try it another way, erin, because im kind of on one side of this argument, i know, but, you know, its not the military that judges the person that the people elect. Thats for the people to do in elections. Thats for the congress to do. And its for the courts to do. So we have two other branches of government that share power with the executive branch. And they are the ones that will ultimately and the people, ultimately judge the president. Thats not for the military to do. When the military gets in the position of judging the president , were no better than some of these republics where the military conducts a coup and off you go. Thats not where we want to be. I dont think were close to being there, but theres always danger, that things can go too far. Thats why i prefer to stay on the solid ground of what we support and defend. Thats the constitution. And clearly, peaceful protests are part of the peoples rights. And ill protest alongside them. Well, i appreciate your time so very much, general myers. A powerful interview. Thank you, erin. And outnooutfront next, attorney general bill barr defending his decision to use that force to remove protesters on monday. Projectiles being thrown and the group was becoming increasingly unruly. Of course, it wasnt. And our reporter who was there is going to give you the facts. And another black man who said i cant breathe dies in custody. His death ruled a homicide.

Service Spokesperson<\/a> telling cnn tonight that the fencing built around the white house will stay up until june 10th. President trump beefing up those physical barriers today. And we can show you more fencing, and those fences are really high. They usually put them up around inauguration time around the white house, when you have those massive crowds. Obviously, also putting those concrete barriers moved into place. And this comes as theyve had consecutive days of peaceful protests. Trump calling washington, d. C. , actually, the safest place on earth. Not sure why you need to put that up then. Alex marquardt joins me now. Hes there. Alex, for the first night in four days, where you are, no curfew. Brian todd at the
Lincoln Memorial<\/a> was there saying crowds were getting bigger and bigger there. The mayor of d. C. Says she doesnt want troops in the city. So what are you seeing . Reporter thats right, erin. And really, the fact that there is no curfew speaks to the peaceful protests that we have seen over the past few days. There were no arrests last night. The protesters had been pushed farther away from the white house. As you can see, we are much closer today. But as you say, those fences there have been reinforced. Theres a second layer there. There are big concrete blocks. Theres a huge crowd out here tonight that has assembled once again at the white house. There have been protests all over the city. Earlier today, we were at the
Martin Luther<\/a> king jr. Memorial, where thousands of people, mainly young people, high school aged, college aged, they turned out and kneeled in protest for eight minutes and 45 seconds. Of course, that was the length of time that george floyd had a knee on his neck. And to the mayors point, the fact that protests have been so peaceful over the past few days, that reinforces her argument that this huge patchwork of federal agencies, federal
Law Enforcement<\/a> out in the streets of d. C. Really is overkill. And the mayor slammed
President Trump<\/a> earlier today, saying that it was for the glorification of a man who is scared and alone, erin. So attorney general bill barr today defended the use of force on those
Peaceful Protesters<\/a> outside the white house. Heres how he explained it. Projectiles being thrown and the group was becoming increasingly unruly. And the operation they were asked three times if they would move back one block. They refused. Is that what you saw on monday, alex . Reporter no, erin, thats not at all what we saw. Of course, i can only speak to what we saw, but over the course of three and a half hours before that violent crackdown began, we saw not one projectile thrown at the police, no violence aimed at the police, we didnt hear any mass warning given to the protesters to clear out. They might have warned the protesters as they started their advance, of course. That would have been too late. Did the protesters throw something at them as they started their advance . That is possible. But what is clear is those advancing forcing were firing all manner of projectiles at those protesters that made them cough, choke, tear up. This was a peaceful protest that was violently cracked down upon, erin. Thank you very much, alex marquardt. That is the bottom line, it was a peaceful protest. Outfront next, police in florida investigating a arrest that shows an officer using his knee to pin a black american to the ground. And
Corporate America<\/a> stepping up with things weve never seen before. All these statements coming out about race. Why now . So you can bring your vision to life and save in more ways than one. For small prices, you can build big dreams. Spend less, get way more. Shop everything home at wayfair today. All right, these are live pictures. This is denver. Protesters gathered in a dark. As you see across this country, in honor of the memorial of george floyd, this is now the tenth day running of protests. We are following the story now with echos of
George Floyds<\/a> tragedy. The county medical examiner ruling it a homicide after a black man was fill clip restrained while in the police department. He told the officers i cant breathe. The
Houston Police<\/a> chief, art acevedo, who has been an influential voice on police tactics. I appreciate your time, chief. The man who died, got in a physical struggle with police, but this is the narrative. This is the case. This is the i cant breathe coming as this country is on edge. What do you do about it . Well, i havent seen that case yet, havent reviewed it, but you have to start by having a national law that prohibits the use of the choke hold of ca r carotid. That cant be allowed. Its too dangerous. The only circumstance where anyone should be handling somebodys neck is if youre in a fight for your life and deadly force would be authorized. So thats step one, and im hopeful that that will get done sooner rather than later. So, let me ask you, chief. Police in sarasota, in florida, are investigating an arrest from last month we have video of, showing an officer putting his on a black mans neck to pin him to the ground. They say he was arresting arrest. The officer has been placed on leave. Is that what youre talking about, the carotid artery. That should cease to occur . The neck is a very sensitive area. Unless you are in a deadly force situation where youre in a fight for your life and where deadly force is authorized or would be authorized and objectively reasonable, we need a
National Prohibition<\/a> against using the neck to control a suspect. You can end up paralyzed or dead, and i dont know which one would be worse, but the bottom line is both would be extremely unfortunate. So why does this keep happening . And how hard is it to get something on the
National Level<\/a> . We have 18,000
Police Departments<\/a> in this country. Thats 18,000
Police Departments<\/a> with 800,000
Police Officers<\/a>, most are honorable hard working professionals. But departments are not all the same in terms of the training, the standards, the policies. And we really need to take a look at our more critical policies we have and our more critical training in the case of those policies, and try to have an application that fits nationwide because whatever happens in the world of information, everything that happens, here we are, something happens in minnesota, it impacts the standing and the relationship with police everywhere, whether ferguson or minneapolis or houston or anyone whe anywhere else. In houston youre under pressure to release body camera video of houston
Police Officers<\/a> that have occurred since mid april. What are you going to do about that . And is that something that is part of the solution . Yeah, i think that the community made a
Huge Investment<\/a> in bodyworn cameras. I think as a result the accountability continues to go up. But we have to have, again we cant have 18,000 policies because theyre all used to impeach each other. But we also have to take a step back and have a conversation as to when its appropriate. There are unintended consequence when an officer in this city were to be charged with a crime out of a use of force, then there is so much publicity because we released everything, this is a diverse community. Next thing you know, we have a change of venue to east texas or west texas where its not as diverse as this and you end up with an acquittal and now you just opened another can of worms. We have to have that conversation. Im in support of releasing bodyworn cameras. We also have to look at what the families of the deceased want because i think that they need to have some say under some circumstances. And lets not forget that the six that were talking about, individuals were armed. They attacked officers in some. There were fights involved. And there was weapons involved and we shouldnt lose sight of that. But im not opposed to it, but we have to be thoughtful and look at all the unintended consequence. I appreciate your time very much, chief acevedo. Thank you. Thank you. Corporate america now coming out again and again theyre just on top of each other to get these statements out in ways weve not seen before. Abby philip is out front. Reporter it started as a trickle. Silicon
Valley Companies<\/a> like salesforce and apple speaking out days after the killing of george floyd, but now it has become an avalanche. As
Corporate America<\/a> breaks its silence on race amid nationwide protests. Dont shoot. Reporter the leaders of americas most powerful businesses are facing pressure from their customers and employees to act. I say to you today, no more. No more. Racism of any kind is decisive divisive. Its ugly. And it brings about the worst of humanity. Reporter ben jerrys the vermont
Ice Cream Company<\/a> that is no stranger to activism, offering one of the most strongly worded statements, calling for concrete steps to dismantle
White Supremacy<\/a> in all its forms. In order for us to make the kind of progress that we need as a nation and as a society, it requires us to acknowledge and to embrace some hard truths. Reporter nike flipping its iconic slogan just do it on its head, now pleading, for once, dont do it. Dont turn your back on racism. And nine of detroits largest businesses including
General Motors<\/a> c. E. O. Mary berrah, now coming together to pledge that they will push for action. We will stand up against injustice and that means taking the risk of expressing unpopular or polarizing points of view. Complacency and complicit sit in the shadow of silence. Reporter its a dramatic change for predominantly white
Corporate America<\/a>. But for some, the outpouring of support for protests rings hollow. Democratic congresswoman alexandra ocasiocortez blasting companies for releasing blands statement with a hashtag saying it should include internal commitments to change. Also penning this statement from the
National Football<\/a> league which they noted failed to mention policing or racism at all. And it comes four years after nfl quarterback
Colin Kaepernicks<\/a> protest against
Police Brutality<\/a> prompted a threat from the league to punish players who knelt during the national anthem. Today something has changed, and for the
Companies Like<\/a> ben jerrys that have long spoken out, its overdue. Typically what companies do is use that power to advance their own narrow selfinterests. There is a cost to that. That if the rest of the society is burning down around us, cant have a
Healthy Company<\/a> in a sick society. Reporter abby philip, cnn, washington. And thank you all very much for joining us tonight. Our coverage continues now with anderson and ac 360.
