bystanders caught it on camera, carr's son, eric garner was accused of selling loose cigarettes and pulled to the ground by a new york city police officer. the officer that wrapped his arms around eric garner's neck was fired he was never charged with a crime. instead garner's last words ignited a movement. the first time most people heard the term i can't breathe in a march was after your son's death. >> that is correct. >> reporter: do you think the outrage and the demonstrations following the death of your son helped to create the atmosphere necessary for justice today? >> it set the stage. i ameath and the outrage the people had at that time set the stage so that when other injustices came this is happening again. >> reporter: did you expect at the time when you heard the details of the floyd case that family would get an indictment, a trial and now a conviction? >> no. i really did not think so. i know what happened on previous occasions. >> reporter: even as she celebrated the verdict she said it was complicated. a feeling of elation for the floyd family and reflection on what happen

the victim, eric garner. police attempted to arrest garner and floyd for nonviolent offenses, unarmed and the officer's use of force was deemed unauthorized by their own police departments and the medical examiner in both cases ruled the garner and floyd deaths, a homicide. but the officer in the garner case never was charged with any crime while derek chauvin is now guilty of three. tony dokoupil spoke with eric garner's mother, gwen. >> reporter: do you remember where you were today when you heard the news guilty on all counts? >> in my house with two tvs on. >> reporter: how did you feel in the moment? >> tears started to fall from my eyes. i was in the house by myself, acting crazy. >> reporter: did you feel like your son was there in some way? >> i do. i know his presence was there. he was probably jumping with me. >> reporter: do you remember how you felt when you first heard about what happened to george floyd? >> i said this ien ech the gra. >> reporter: so many similarities. one very big difference.

i mean, you've got eric garner and then you have the lieutenant. i mean, what goes through -- what is your family dealing with right now? like what are you guys thinking? >> really, when is it going to end? you know, we keep -- when are they -- when is the narrative going to change? is it ever going to end? you keep seeing it happen over and over and over again, and it's almost unbelievable. the police know that the relationships are sensitive. there's more awareness, but yet they still do it. they have body cameras and they just still do it. we just want to know is it ever going to stop? >> is it because of what happened with eric garner that you actually warned lieutenant nazario about how to interact with police? >> you know, you have -- you start to have the conversations when it hits closer to home, but he's like my nephew, you know. he's the same age as my daughter. he spent a lot of time with me, you know, growing up, so you just have those conversations. make sure, you know, when you see the police, you know, that you don't get them excited

you give mike brown, eric garner, as i get older, so do the victims. again, it's this cycle of when am i next? >> we have to deal with the fact that after one killer is brought to, what people will call justice, there is another police officer who murders and 15-year-old, young girl, that same day. >> they sound like my kids. and -- and, ms. karr, you know, and it -- it is so unfortunate because you did not choose to be in this sorority of women, these mothers of the movement. and yet, here you are. and because people do look to you. because, you know, you -- you have been so strong and so vocal. what should we say to our children about what the derek-chauvin verdict means? what does it mean to you? what does it mean to our -- our kids? >> well, it means that they made a just decision, this time. but there are so many others out there, who never got justice. who never got a day in court. and we have to say, we still have to stay focused. we have to stay alert. we can't say that, just because we got one-guilty verdict, it's time to rest. it's no time to

gwen carr, the mother of eric garner, thank you for being here. ir >> thank you for having me. >> all right. y we do have much more to get to tonight. in just a moment, we will hear from what george floyd's family, in terms of their reaction today. we will speak with somebody who has been working with them the n last year. we will look ahead to the funeral of daunte white, which is happening just two days from now. we will be talking about yet another police-involved shooting, apparently resulting o in a fatality of a young african american teenage girl this evening, even as the verdict was being absorbed nationwide. like i said, it does not stop.rb but we have much more ahead tonight. stay with us. >>> dear god, we thank you for giving us the strength to stand together. sometimes we would question each other. sometimes we say this is just going to be a waste of time. but somehow you touch us the midnight hours and teach us to hold on, and that if we would be faithful over few things, you would give us the victory over many. we thank you because w

joining me now to discuss, gwen carr, the mother of eric garner. eric garner died after an nypd officer used an illegal choke hold. she's also the author of "this stops today." we're honored to have you here. good evening, ms. carr. thanks for joining. >> good evening. thanks for having me. i'm so, you know, elated that you would have me on your show. >> your son, eric garner's killing sparked the first of the "i can't breathe" rallying cries for police reform and justice. what is it like for you to see another case this time, george floyd, playing out in court? >> well, i tell you, it's like an echo, an echo from the grave because the george floyd case was so, so close in proximity to my son's case. they both said "i can't breathe." they both were put in choke holds in different ways. and in both cases, the officer decided to take their life and wouldn't even give them the privilege of breathing. >> you warned early on that the defense would try to assassinate george floyd's character. today a medical expert providing testimony, blowing a hole in

eric garner for selling illegal cigarettes. al on the sterling for celling cds, these are a few examples. 29% were arrested for gambling arrests. local studies show they're far more likely to be arrested for jaywalking. so much for bill barr's insistence there isn't systemic race issues this. is not going to achieve some utopia. it will do the opposite. instead there needs to be significant retraining and reform. cops need to focus on de-escalating and decriminalizing. it helps that some 27 states have decriminalizing or even legalized marijuana considering black americans are arrested three times more than whites due to pe session despite usage rates. in 2020 republican senator tim scott introduced a bill to announce no-knock warrants. democrats say it didn't go far enough. and also limiting qualified immunity which protects officers. good people can disagree on the details but we need to agree on the fact like the fact that 991 people have been shot and killed by police over the past year according to the "washington post." w

eric garner and they were not even charged in that case. and 30 years ago in rodney king, and they were acquitted. deep then you wanted to reserve the right to say, well, i didn't go for it all the way and the walls burst and you got at least this guilty this time. and you could say maybe we could make a difference. this family saw it. we were hugging each other and waiting. president biden called and vice president harris. i think the main thing they really fell for they lost their brother and now he meant something bigger than them. >> reverend, for some reason, yesterday after that verdict, in many ways a historic verdict, it was invoked to say that justice is not done. somehow this was not enough. justice was not done. that just ignores history. from emmett till to trayvon martin and eric garner and so many different cases. to george floyd, those are cases where justice was not done. in this one case, the law requires us to take it one case at a time. justice was done and it was done after one of the largest social movements ever, and l

which is so different than the videos featuring eric garner, philando castile, and so many more. see, before these videos, people like me thought that just recording cell phone footage of cops and people acting like cops doing clearly unjust things would lead to justice. but time and time again, we found out that it doesn't. cops and people acting like cops get away with murdering black people all the time. so in these new videos the people aren't just recording and waiting for the cops to show up, they're getting involved. >> you seriously would call the police on a child? >> pure bystanders, more upstanders. in so many cases the cops don't have to get involved. and if they do, sometimes it's just to comfort the snowflakes. >> i'm being harassed! >> you'll be okay, becky. while the stuff in these videos might be okay for some of you white folks, my people have been talking about these stories since that famous boat ride. so this episode, white folks, i'm inviting you to the conversation. welcome to the black people meeting. please don't bring your potato salad with the raisins i

now let's welcome the mother of the movement, the mother of eric garner, ms. gwen carr. >> thank you all. i just want to give honor to god, who is first in my life. and i thank you all for standing up for justice. this is what we must do. everybody has to stand for justice. we have to gather like this. i'm tired. i'm tired of coming to these commemorations for black men bein g shot. >> but again, i come to stand in solidarity with this family. but too much is too much. we can't even get over the trial of george floyd before there was several other murders. and then we come down here to elizabeth city where they shoot a man in the back. they won't show the video. what are they trying to hide? if he had shot one of those police officers, or if he had even had a fight with those police officers, the video would be all over the nation by now. >> yeah. >> but now they're trying to hide the police face? why. they are the criminals. they say we are armed and dangerous. no, they are the ones who are armed and dangerous, who are taking out lives, they're coming to our

the eric garner case needs to be reopened. i certainly and the national action network would support the people backing up tamir rice's mother. these cases need to be reopened. they were mishandled at various levels on the state level. these cases need to be reopend at the same time we talk about the george floyd act because they've been violated under the old act with no acts there. not only do we want to see the george floyd act, we want to see the cases that were not prosecuted to be prosecuted. you must remember eric garner's family, tamir rice's family, breonna taylor's family never saw a court room. >> right. >> they never had a shot at justice. that's unfair as well. >> i will be speaking to tamir rice's mother coming up. reverend al sharpton is president and founder of national action network and author of "rise up." he is the host of msnbc's "politics nation" which you can catch every saturday and sunday evening at 5:00 p.m. eastern here on msnbc. >>> as i mentioned i spoke with a group of six black mind societyans af

if we look back to michael brown's death in 2014, and the death of eric garner and tamir rice and others in the aftermath of that, the institute of justice did a study and showed that 34 states and the district of columbia passed 79 laws on police reform in the two years after ferguson. there was a flurry of activity at that time to pass laws on things like body worn cameras, training for police, what's called crisis intervention team training on handling individuals whose -- who have mental health problem to read that has -- mental health problems. in the aftermath of george floyd 's tragic death, there has been movement forward. national conference and state legislatures have said that 30 states have passed 140 laws or a little more than that in the policing area just sent last may. the terrain has shifted now because despite all of the attention that has been focused on this area by states and local governments in changing laws. the attention with the verdict last week of not only our country but the international, global community has been fixed on why policing, in their view, is sti

so joining me now to discuss, the mother of eric garner. you remember he died after anment in officer used an illegal chokehold. she is also the author of this stops today. we are honored to have you here. good evening. thank you for joining. >> good evening. thank you for having me. i'm so elated that you would have me on your show. >> your son eric garner's killing sparked the first of the i can't breathe rallying cries for police reform and justice. what is it like to see another case george floyd, playing out in court? >> well, i tell you. it is like an echo. an echo from the grave. the george floyd case was so close in proximity to my son's case. they both said, i can't breathe. they both were put in chokeholds in different ways. and in both cases, the officer decided to take their life and wouldn't even give them the privilege of breathing. >> you warrant early on that the defense would try to assassinate george floyd's character, trying to blame his death on drugs. do you think we're going to see justice in this case? >> i'm really o

eric garner's mother. george floyd's brother. rodney king's daughter. they all reflect on what this moment means for the movement. here's abc's deborah roberts. >> i was overwhelmed after i heard the verdict and that they were actually doing the right thing this time. convicting the police officer who actually murdered george floyd. >> reporter: when derek chauvin was led away in handcuffs, many across the nation felt a sense of relief. >> tears just came to my eyes and i says, all three? they convicted him on all three? i've never heard this before in a case like this. in fact, most of the people i know never got any type of justice. >> reporter: but for gwen carr, the mother of eric garner, the verdict also offered a glimmer of hope she had longed for. >> and i just said, wow, maybe things are changing. because it just seemed like no one was listening before. no matter what happened. >> reporter: her 43-year-old son dying after a new york city police officer put him in a chokehold while arresting him for selling loose cigarettes in 2014. his final wor

her son, eric garner, was killed by police in new york in 2014. gwen, thank you for being with us this morning. >> yes, thank you for having me. >> your son eric's death was also captured on camera. we can hear him also saying the words, "i can't breathe." and the officer who had him in an illegal chokehold after five years was fired from the nypd, but a grand jury decide not to indict. what does this verdict in the case of george floyd mean to you? >> well, this verdict actually seems like we're pivoting into the right direction. like with my son's death, we did not have this type of cooperation from the police department, from the mayor. and we have seen on camera just as we did with george floyd that my son was actually being murdered on video. and he chose not to fire the police officers. he put one of them on desk duty, and then after five years, the doj decided not to go forward with the trial. and just dropped the ball on us. and if not for me and other groups pushing to have the departmental trial, it would have been all just swept under t

eric garner is one of them. in the walter scott case, a video emerged from a bystander showing the officer shooting walter scott in the back and literally dropping a taser to frame him for his own death. shot him in the back as he's running away. clear, convincing, jury hung. the case of eric garner, the first case in which we heard "i can't breathe" at least in the modern era. he's on the ground, he's struggling, police officers are choking him. he is, again, no, the officer is cleared in in that case as well. eric garner's mom was in court today watching this and i'm sure it's painful for her to be there and watch this, but can you just walk us through this? because the use of force continuum allows police to use all kinds of force up to killing someone. why is it so hard to see justice in cases that look obvious to the layperson to convict a cop? >> the painful realization is that the -- and history shows us this constantly, time and time again. there is no simple or straightforward police killing case when i

this is different featuring the videos of eric garner and philando castile and many more. time and time again, we found out it does not. cops and people acting like cops get away with murdering black people all the time. so in these new videos, people are not just recording and waiting for cops to show up. they're getting involved. you many cases cops don't have to get involved. >> i am being harassed. it will be okay, becky. >> while these videos may be new for some of you folks. this episode, white folks invite you to the conversation. welcome to the conversation. please don't bring your potato salad with the raisins in it. you can do this in any cities in the united states. kind of what we do best. one city is the most segregated in the country. before you start guessing a bunch of country, i will tell you, milwaukee, wisconsin. yep, the happy days and harley d davidson is home to a whole lot of races. another viral video just dropped right in our laps. >> today was supposed to be the party. this lady walks right up to me and said you are you don't have a permit today,

gwen car is the mother of eric garner, who was killed during a choke hold by a former new york police officers. she has been spending time with the brown family. so, mrs. carr, thank you for your time. first, your reaction to the decision by this judge? >> um, i think the decision is very disrespectful to the family. first of all, now that they're saying that they're going to let them see more than 20 seconds, which is a disgrace, 20 seconds of a video where there was at least seven or eight body cams, why would it take 30 to 45 days? there's so many discrepancies in this case. one of the people -- one of the officers who were shooting has sin retired. two quit. the others are on administrative duty. can you tell me this doesn't stink? now they want to take 45 days. what are they going to do in the 45 days or 30 days that they can't show you now? >> so, from my understanding, after watching the hearing this morning, is they will allow a family member and one north carolina bar attorney to watch the attorney within ten days, but that has to be redacted to blur the faces of the officers

and i want to see certain practices banned like what killed eric garner, the chokeholds, and what killed breonna taylor, the senseless no-knock warrant. a no-knock warrant that had them entering breonna taylor's house in the first place. so these bills are worth fighting for, and i'm negotiating now in good faith. and i'm hoping we can get it to a point where it is a step to make progress. because americans deserve for their federal government to own up to the crisis we're in and do something real to make a difference. >> the republican senator tim scott is proposing a compromise to get this passed. he's asked for the burden of responsibility in court to be would you accept that? >> i'm not going to negotiate this publicly. i'm going to negotiate with him and there are so many different components to this. i will say that qualified immunity is astonishing to me. that you can violate someone's civil rights, and they have no claim in civil court against you. so for me, i think we should get rid of qualified immunity. we've seen conservative organizations like the cato institute call for ge

we're going to keep going until we bring it for the eric garners and the breonna taylors, whose boyfriend is here tonight, kenney walker, shawn bell, so many that did not get this night. this night is for them. let us pray. let's lock arms and pray like we kinfolks. >> come on, brandon. where's philones? come on. you and rodney come up front. you know you hiding now.

like the floyd matter that began with a $20 bill or like with eric garner with began with him selling loose cigarettes. a minor infraction escalating into a white police officer killing a black man. daunte's aunt in an emotional interview asked this morning why do we have to keep burying our babies? >> why? why did he have to die the way that he died? you know, my family has to still come to grips with that. the black community is very accepting and we accept all. but to keep having our nephews, our sons, our fathers, our brothers and stuff taken from us for no, no reason at all is hard. >> just moments ago at the funeral of daunte[t!v wright, fy lawyer ben crump and civil rights activist reverend sharpton spoke about the police reforms they believe are urgently needed. >> it's too often that traffic stops end up as deadly sentences. it's time to bring a new date when we don't have to videotaup when we see a badge, to know that they're there to serve and protect, not treat us like we've been convicted. >> we also just heard from the wright family, and understandably very emotional. >>

if we look back to michael brown's death in ferguson in 2014, and the death of eric garner, tamir rice, and others in the aftermath of that, the geary institute of justice did a study and found that 34 states and the district of columbia passed 79 laws on police reform in the two years after ferguson. so there was a flurry of activity at that time to pass laws on things like body cameras, training for police, crisis intervention team training on handling individuals with mental health problems, so there has been forward movement of some kind in recent years. but in the aftermath of george floyd's tragic death last summer, there has been movement forward. the national conference of state legislatures as said 30 states have passed 140 laws, or a little more, in the policing area just since last may. but i said that the terrain has shifted now because, despite all the attention that has been focused on this area by states and also local governments in changing laws, the attention to the verdict last week of not only our country, but the international global community, has really been fixe

this is about justice for eric garner and breonna taylor and daniel prude, on and on, the calmest black people killed in this country with very little repercussions. >> rachel: here now is "fox news @ night" anchored in shannon bream, author of the podcast by the same name, "women of the bible speak." i watch that clip, and it intrigues me, because i am so concerned about cases that are very high profile like this, racial undertones, and you are a lawyer, what do you make of that? because we want to make sure people are presumed innocent, and also, you should be tried for the circumstances in your case, not other cases. >> and every one of the cases that she mentioned had very, very fact-specific situations, and they should, and each officer should be judged on their own merits about the actions they took in each one of those cases. and many of them do end up going to trial, like this one. this is a very raw, emotional issue for the country in this moment, and anybody who has watched the george floyd tape, it is horrifying. no one wants to see another human being suffering or dying. but

in 2014, here in, new york, there was, of course, eric garner. captured now-former police officer putting garner in that choke hold. he was then swarmed by officers and fell to the ground. and garner's final words were, i can't breathe. and yet, a grand jury declined to indict the officer. didn't even go to trial. one-year later, in 2015, there was the incredibly egregious case of walter scott in south carolina. we covered that case. we were down in north charleston. he was pulled over for a broken taillight. after a brief interaction, he -- he ran. the officer put three bullets in his back. the killing was recorded on a cellphone. the officer, michael slater, was charged with murder. but a judge declared a mistrial because of a hung jury. slater was eventually convicted on federal charges of second-degree murder. those are just three examples. we could list a lot more. so no one should have any illusions about the outcome of this trial being, in any way, decided. david henderson's a civil rights attorney, former prosecutor, who's been following

in addition to that, we want to ban certain practices that has led to the death of people like eric garner or breonna taylor, specifically those kind of no knock warrants. we want greater liability. we want to see real accountability. that means taking on qualified immunity that is shielding cities and officers from that. so there say lot in our bill that would go a long way in shifting american police accountability. >> i heard this argument from police officers. police officers are probably good cops, good police officers, care about what they do and something like, for instance, getting rid of the qualified immunity protections which is something that the supreme court kind of built up through the jurisprudence to make the inpenetratable shield for misbehavior on the job. that that would put police officers in a defensive crouch. it will make them less pro active and you'll get worse policing. what is your argument? >> that's not my belief. i don't share that belief whatsoever. i really do believe you have to know if you grossly violate laws and civil rights that there are consequences
