the death of george floyd. the death of george floyd was tragic. he is loved by his family members. he is loved by his friends. and his death is justifiably mourned by those whose lives he impacted. he is a son, a brother, a father, an uncle, and a friend to many. as the court heard today, the impact and the loss of his life of the loss of his life simply just can't be simplified. and it will take time. finally, your honor, the court must take into consideration just like it has to take into consideration the aggravating factors they need to take into consideration the mitigating factors. and the mitigating factors is set forth by the sentencing guidelines really point to the interrogatory analysis in this case. you may spend a lot of time arguing for a probation airy sentence that, is brief. but that being said, when we look at the trog factors, who is derek chauvin? derek chauvin spent 19 years as a minneapolis police officer. he loved being a police officer. i was contacted during the course of my representation and i've had numerous conversations with his fellow police officers

we heard for the first time from george floyd's six-year-old daughter. what a delightful, beautiful child. my heart is with the entire floyd family as they figure out -- how to explain to her what happened as she grows up. the sentence that the court just imposed on derek chauvin, 22.5 years is one of the longest a former police officer has ever received for an unlawful use of deadly force. like the conviction of derek chauvin two months ago, today's sentencing is not justice. but it is another moment of real accountability on the road to justice. it is difficult to see anyone lose their freedom. but seeing somebody lose their life through torture over 9:30 minutes is incomparebly worse. -- incomparably worse. those minutes and seconds are seared into the minds of people across the world who watched george floyd die. above all, the heroic people who stopped and bore witness to george floyd's suffering and torture and who came forward a year later to testify about what they saw. and to the floyd family members themselves and their counsel, we -- counsel,

george floyd! nojustice, no peace! no racist police! most of us can remember where we were when we first watched that video — the killing of george floyd by derek chauvin, the police officer who knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes. one year on, we are going to take a look at the impact of what happened worldwide after global protests over the killing. we begin here in america, in missouri, st louis county, where the main city has the highest level of civilian deaths at the hands of the police. what can be done to improve relations between officers and the public they serve? what happens when communities are under siege? for me to feel that even with my collar on that i have to be armed, is pretty depressing. under siege from violence, the bitter harvest of decades of neglect and poverty. but under siege, too, from those meant to defeat the violence, bad cops poisoning public opinion. i see comments on facebook and things of that nature, you know, "this is all police want to do is kill us". but can things be turned around and

the lives of everyone who saw what happened to george floyd are forever changed. my hope for derek chauvin is that he uses his long sentence to reflect on the choices that he made on may 25, 2020. my hope is that he will find it within himself to acknowledge the impact of his choices on george floyd, his family, his fellow police officers, and the world. my hope is that he takes the time to learn something about the man whose life he took and about the movement that rose up to call for justice in the wake of george floyd's torture and death. today is also an important moment for our country. the outcome of this case is critically important, but by itself, it's not enough. my hope for our country is that this moment gives us pause and allows us to rededicate ourselves to the real societal change that will move us much further along the road to justice. i'm not talking about the kind of change that takes decades. i'm talking about real change, concrete change that real people can do now. i'm talking to lawmakers. if this is a historic moment, there's so much legisla

floyd -- justice and accountability for george floyd? >> i think the legal system has delivered accountability. it is hard to restore a tragic loss of life and what the justice system can do is some measure of accountability for the perpetrator. in this case, the justice system held mr. chauvin accountable. it is not something that often happens when officers are convicted of killing people. i think that they have delivered some measure of accountability. there is a larger discussion going on in america with regards to race relations and racial justice which will continue long after today ends. >> is this the end of the case or do you think that derek chauvin can still appeal? is that what he seemed to be hinting at? >> he can still appeal but in addition, there are federal charges pending against derek chauvin by federal prosecutors. he is facing additional sentences for his actions that day with regards to george floyd beyond what happened today. i think that is probably what he was alluding to when he looked at the floyd family and sa

i'm actually george floyd isn't being lifted up as a hero. but a reminder of the fact that institutions in this country that are systemically racists, including i'm a police force that was acted to assist with the center of indigenous land. and the capture of black bodies who escaped bondage is why we are writing the statues. one of the main features of last year's protest we spoke about in, in this program was pulling dian statues that cause the vision. a lot of rage, a lot of hatred out there, wasn't there. why put up more than i don't think that we can complete a statue of george floyd to a statue of of say, robert e lee or an andrew jackson. george floyd had nothing to do with the genocide of indigenous people. this act up and didn't plan and the enslavement of defendants of africans. i don't think that it actually does anything for black people to take those batteries down. i think again it's just, it's just virtue, they're going and wiping out history. i don't think it's a, i don't think it's a great idea and i think it just, it, it stu

chauvin put his left knee on george floyd's neck. his right now on george floyd's back, face down on the pavermen. an officer came and sat on mr. floyd's waist area and had officer lane pull his feet down. you can see mr. floyd trying to pull his feet up. we are all going to fight to breathe. everybody knows that fear when you all of a sudden realize you're having trouble breathing. we want to survive. we know we have to breathe. there's an automatic reaction when you begin to feel like that is threatened. you can see mr. floyd going through that. he tries to pull his feet up. he's held down by these three officers while officer tao is looking on. he's placed face down on the pavement so harshly that it rubbed the skin off his face. he has injuries to his face from being face down on the paverment. he has injuries to his knuckles from trying to lift himself up. he's telling officer chauvin, i can't breathe. i'm dying. mr. chauvin's response was uh-huh. all this time, we'll imagine what mr. floyd is going through. really try to apprec

-- sentencing hearing, floyd's family called on congress to pass the george floyd justice in policing act. president joe biden asked that the measure be approved by the anniversary of floyd's death in may, but it remains in negotiations. he weighed in on chauvin's sentence from the white house. let's listen. >> well, i don't know all the circumstances that were considered, but it seems to me under the guidelines, they seem to be appropriate. >> now, earlier, i spoke with anika buoy, the vice president of the minneapolis naacp and she talked about where the community goes from here, and whether chauvin's lengthy sentence represents a turning point. here she is. >> i think it gives a sense of accountability and a sense of justice to george floyd's family who we want to send our deepest gratitude, who held strong throughout this slow and steady process of our judicial system. but let's be clear. black people in minneapolis alone, aside from the entire nation, knew that derek chauvin was guilty prior to the murder of george floyd. this is an officer who was part of a police department who

while describing showing sentence as historic, george floyd's family says the u. s. is one step closer to healing by delivering closure and accountability. but they say this case is exceptional, an accused the police of killing black people without consequence, day after deer, the year after year and addressing the media officer, the sentencing floyd family and attorneys called on congress to pass the police reform bill named after floyd. they say there's only real justice in america when people don't have to worry about being killed by police. because of the color of the skin. today represents an opportunity to be a turning point in america. this is the longest sentence that a police officer has ever been sensitive to in the history of the state of minnesota. but there should not be exceptions when a black person is kill barbara talib, a. 4 police, it should be the norm. and so when we think about real justice real jeff, this would be filthy that josh floor was still be here with his family. john hendrick has been following derek children sentences from minneapolis.

the death of george floyd. the death of george floyd was tragic. he is loved by his family members, he is loved by his friends. and his death is justifiably mourned by those whose lives he impacted. he is a son, a brother, a father, an uncle, and a friend to many. and as the court heard today, the impact and the loss of his life can't be simplified and it will take time. finally, your honor, the court must take into consideration, just like it has to take into consideration the aggregating factors, it need to take into consideration the mitigating factors. and the mitigating factors is set forth by the sentencing guidelines that point to the analysis in this case. i'm not going to spend a lot of time arguing for a pro beagsary -- probationary sentence, that's brief. but when we look at the factors, who is derek chauvin? derek chauvin spent 19 years as a minneapolis police officer. he loved being a police officer. i was contacted during the course of my representation and had numerous conversations with his fellow police officers or fellow police of
