What have witnessed over the last couple of nights is the pentup frustration. And finally, what was it like to read the president saying when the looting starts the shooting starts. Unfortunately, what were seeing in the society, whether its a Public Health pandemic, individuals feel they have a license to harm africanamericans or harm individuals in the Jewish Community its the result of the 2016 elections and this president using social media platforms to spew hate and division. I am glad to see that finally jack dorsey and twitter beginning to take a more aggressive approach on their platform and i encourage all of the social media platforms to begin to censor the way you and i would be if we used a platform to spew hate speech and misdirection. Derek johnson, president , ceo of the naacp, thank you, sir, for finding time to talk with us today. Another break in our coverage. When we come back the former commissioner of the new York City Police department, bill bratton will be our guest live as we continue to cover the breaking news. Thirddegree murder and manslaughter charges facing the arresting officer seen pinning his knee to the neck of the late george floyd in minneapolis. Yd i i got an oriole here. Eh. Common bird.

The officer who pressed his knee into George Floyds neck for at least seven minutes on video, we know now will face thirddegree murder charges. The Hennepin County attorney in minnesota made that announcement today. The investigation into the three other officers involved is ongoing. This comes as officials work to diffuse tensions between police and demonstrators, to avoid a fourth night of civil unrest. Were happy to be joined now by bill bratton who served two terms as commissioner of the nypd, also led Police Departments in boston and los angeles, hes these days our senior Law Enforcement analyst. Commissioner, can you imagine a case in any of the departments you ran where we would see a night like last night and lets be honest about what it was the governor and major were spectators and police and fire were not allowed to engaged and they abandoned and offered up a Police Precinct. Well, brian, it brings me back to the 1990s when in los angeles the Los Angeles Police department in the midst of that riot, abandoned florence and that was the tipping point. First time in history of l. A. Police department, where they gave up a street. Giving up that intersection on live news, that sent the signal that anything goes and for the next as we saw 48 hours, 72 hours the city of los angeles burned. So last night, the lack of collaboration, cooperation, its just hard to fathom on how there could have been so little communication on what to do in terms of assertive action, passive action and then setting the stage when these fires were set, the Fire Department could not get to the scene safely. So the afteraction report on this one is going to be a phenomenal read when its finally done. Lets talk about the hold that took the life of george floyd, the knee to the neck, its certainly not unique to this instance, ive seen it used before, and i guess the question is, is it taught or passed down . Because its employed. Its not taught anywhere that im aware of, that we learned in the eric garner incidence, the use of the chokehold has the knee may be used in the midst of a struggle briefly. Its not author sized in any training that im aware of anywhere in the United States of america. Certainly not with the disregard of life that this officer certainly displayed in front of that camera for seven minutes. Depraved indifference of that officer. Effectively, the thirddegree murder charge specifically mentions depraved. And thats what we saw. One of the main tenets of law, you have to look at the dignity of human life. What effect this will have on Police Officers across the country doing their jobs, working a 4 00 to 12 00 friday night into saturday, the good Police Officers that are part of the minneapolis Police Department, the good Police Officers who are part of the st. Paul Police Department, the men and women who every day try their darndest not to be this guy. Two thoughts, brian. Im very friendly with the chief of police, i was out there for the super bowl for five days with those two departments, excellent officers, many of them excellent leadership after a long history of poor leadership, poor performance and racial tension. Youre correct, every Police Officer in america tonight working is going into unknown risk as a result of whats going on in that city the tensions that are always there have been heightened dramatically. At the same time, theyll go forward and the vast, vast majority will perform their duties appropriately and within the law. Ill point out that the issue of race is the unhealed wound in this country. First original sin if you will. Every one of these incidences pulls back the scab thats never allowed to heal. We always learn from these. We learned from the death of eric garner. We improve. We improved our training, our awareness, but we still quite obviously have a long way to go. Former new York City Police commissioner bill bratton, commissioner, thank you very much for finding time to talk with us. Another break in our coverage. When we come back the governor of the state of new york, andrew cuomo. Cuomo introducing new voltaren arthritis pain gel, the first and only full prescription strength nonsteroidal antiinflammatory gel available overthecounter. New voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. Voltaren. The joy of movement. And sometimes, you can find yourself heading in a new direction. But when youre with fidelity, a partner who makes sure every step is clear, theres nothing to stop you from moving forward. Welcome back for the last portion of this hour, as our live coverage continues, the governor of state of new york andrew cuomo has been kind enough to join us to talk about that states reopening, which well do but governor by way of thanking you for being with us, i have to start about what we have witnessed over the past 12 hours to 24 hours, not a word from the president today, no presence last night on the part of the governor of minnesota, the mayor of minneapolis and as a cascading effect, no police or fire presence, can you imagine in new york in the city of new york and the state of new york choosing to surrender for starters a Police Precinct . Brian, good to be with you. Look, this is a terrible situation. Our thoughts and prayers are with George Floyds family. All new yorkers join me in that as im sure all americans do. I understand the frustration from the prost testers all across the country. This is not a new story, we tend to cover incidents this is a continuing narrative, another chapter in the book called injustice and inequality in america and is been going on for 30 years, right, rodney king, los angeles was 30 years ago. Its just replayed over and over and over again. We just saw the Ahmaud Arbery case. Its been 30 years. Continuing inequality. You have coronavirus on top of that. Thats killing more africanamericans than anyone else by percentage. So you can see the constant frustration with the injustice especially in the Justice System, and its just gone on and on and on and people are frustrated. You shouldnt break the law, no illegality. But frustration certainly. Let me ask you, the lawyer in you, the charging document just and i cant believe were being so molecular about timing here, heres what it says, the Police Officers knee was on his neck for additional two minutes and 43 seconds after mr. Floyd became unresponsive. Police officers knee was on mr. Floyds neck for a total of 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Governor, what do you have to believe about the Police Officer to go for a murder one charge as opposed to murder three, the family is asking that the charge be upgraded from murder three to murder one. Yeah, the question is going to be intent and deliberateness of the actions and i was a former prosecutor and i dont like to prejudge any prosecutors actions. The prosecutor in this case said they could charge up depending on what they find. Its not uncommon to see the charges escalated. But lets see what the prosecutor does, the evidence to me is damning. In this state, i think it would support a murder charge based on what we know. Now the prosecutor alluded to that theres evidence that you dont know about. Lets see if charge up in this case. Its going to be a clear question of fact. Ill let you tell the viewers what youve decided about new york, which was of course as youve been dealing with, 24 7 nonstop the u. S. Epicenter of coronavirus, what does reopening look like in new york . Well, brian, youre right. New york city was the epicenter and new york state has had more case cases than any other state in this country. Remember what happened to new york, we were told about the china virus, the china virus, this virus came from europe, we were all looking west and the virus came from the east, nobody talked about the virus coming from europe, we had 3 million flights of people coming from europe january, february and march and thats where the virus came from and it spread once it hit new york. We did have the worst case and in some ways, brian, that forced the smartest and most aggressive response, all the numbers are down. Theyre way down. Other parts of the country you still see the curve going up. June 8th were going to open phase one, and phase one will bring about 400,000 people back to work. Its a gradual turning on the economy. Weve done it in other parts of the state. But the gradual nature of it allows us to calibrate the actions and new york citys a complex orgasm. Starting the eighth. Thats exciting. And from where we were, its about 90 days a lifetime in some ways and in some way its not considering what we had to do. How do you go about advising citizens, especially a lot of essential workers have police, fire, con ed and so on and so on. Subway versus bus. If they can get in a cab or a lyft service, how are you going to advise the people who make new york city go and thus must get to work and by the way, finding a way to get to work this whole time . Yes, its a good question, brian. They had been getting to work and taking Public Transportation. Ill tell you an interesting fact, the essential workers quote unquote, police, nurses, doctors, all the Frontline Worker who would you suspect have the infection rate have the lower infection rate than the general population. It makes the point that ppe works, those masks work. They should have told us earlier about the masks and how effective they were. Individual responsibility. The ppe. What situations you put yourself in. That all is going to determine the future. You know, forget government. This is beyond government. This is what the people do. Their actions will determine what happens with that viral spread. But its individual responsibility. If they want to drive and uber, lyft, et cetera, its up to them. The essential workers have been taking Public Transportation. With disinfecting our Public Transportation system, disinning fekting subways, we have uv light. That has been operating all along. It has never stopped. Its an individual decision. I understand the anxiety. Its clean and its safe. You have to be smart and you have to keep distance where you can. But people have been using it every day all through this. Finally governor, i heard your your viewers kind to consumers yesterday, you told people at the briefly, lot of talk about Companies Getting lean after the coronavirus, that means firing people, that means layoffs and for a guy in your position you also have the tax base of all those towering structures in manhattan that you dont want slowly empty up, how do you police against Something Like that . Brian, i think youre exactly right. Ill tell you what my crystal ball says, it says remember history and remember the past because its going to repeat itself. Remember what happened after the mortgage fraud financial crisis, we had all those bailouts for all the big banks, they had party and the taxpayers got the bill. Youll see corporations laying off workers, saying theyre restructuring, theyre getting lean, they learned lessons from the pandemic, theyre going to take billions of dollars from the government and then theyre going to lay off workers, thats whats going to happen. What i said to washington, they should stop that now in its tracks. If you take a dollar of government money you should not be allowed to lay off workers, you have to hire back the same number of workers prepandemic postpostpandemic if you take a government bailout. I believe thats whats going to happen. I dont believe this economy just comes back, rebounds straight up. This isnt a basketball. This is a football. And its going to come back up at a weird angle and the big corporations will be fine and the workers will get stifd. Its always the story. Governor of the state of new york, andrew cuomo. Governor thanks for being generous with your time. We appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, brian. And in the governors state, one of the places well be watching as afternoon gives way to evening and friday gives way to saturday, weve had sporadic arrests in new york city last night, in manhattan, couple of dozen people were gathered up in new york.

Officer Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis Police officer seen in the video on your screen, kneeling on the neck of george floyd, has been arrested on charges of murder and manslaughter. Hes facing up to 25 years in prison if convicted. Last night, violence, minneapolis and around the country as the rage boiled over into chaos on the Third Straight night of protests, scenes of looting and rioting. The Police Precinct stormed by protesters and set ablaze forcing the evacuation of minneapolis officers. In neighboring st. Paul, reports of a dozen of fires overnight. The demonstrations spreading across the country overnight, many peaceful, but others engulfed in that violent anger from denver to columbus, ohio, to louisville, kentucky, where a protest over the Fatal Police Shooting over breonna taylor. Today, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz addressed the grief on display in his state and across the country. Minnesotians, your pain is real. The chapter thats been written this week is one of our darkest chapters. And we can choose a few things. We can choose to try and get past it, put a force out there and stop things from happening. I dont naively think that everything heals and you come to the forefront and you say it will be better. This is community that demands and expects more than words. As demonstrations persist from coast to coast, despite pleas for peace from local leaders, President Trump in the rose garden, in an appearance about china, that felt oddly removed from where the American People are, ignoring a chance to calm tensions, ease fears, he said nothing. Instead just before he made this statement that youre looking at now, trying to tweet his way out of a controversy caused by another earlier morning tweet where he called protesters in minneapolis thugs. Offering to send in the military and quote take control and adding, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. A racist phrase from miamis unrest in 1967. A statement that twitter later flagged saying it glorified violence. Lets bring in Msnbc Ali Velshi whos in minneapolis. You were in the middle of what we saw last night, the fires, the fear, now we have an arres
