and it killed george floyd. that force for 9 minutes and 29 seconds that killed george floyd he betrayed the badge and everything it stood for it's not how they're trained it's not following the rules this is not an anti police prosecution it's a cruel cli's prosecution. the defendant. abandoned his values abandoned the training and killed a man. and won. right out in the public. in broad daylight in front of several bystanders as they looked in shock in horror why. this all started over a call of an alleged counterfeit $20.00 bill but george floyd's life was taken for something worth far far less far less. you saw the photo you saw the body language you can learn a lot about someone by looking at their body language. defendant facing down that crowd. there pointing cameras at him. recording him telling him what to do challenging his authority his ego his pride not the kind of pride that makes you do better be better the kind of ego based pride. that the defended was not going to be told what to do he was not go

aid or by staying there for longer than necessary did he put george floyd's life at risk did he force him to go on point is that because him to stop breathing therefore did he cause his death and therefore he was guilty of murder and so it's hard to judge after each witness or who's leading who's behind it and it would be wrong to do that i think what both sides have agreed is that the use of force is necessary for it by police in this day and age it is something that has to happen that there are techniques in dealing with it in deescalating but also trying to get someone under control and was pointed out during evidence anyone who's being arrested very rarely is happy to be arrested and so therefore they will argue they will perhaps even physically fight with the officers that are doing it here they were establishing that george floyd was put into the position this position by derek shove and the prosecution are alleging that 9 minutes and 29 seconds was excessive and by doing so for as long as he did derek shogun put george ford's life at risk well as alan was just saying and i saw

assumed there was potentially a struggle because they the police officers were still on top of them george floyd this is when he arrived. but we're going back. at the end of that. all right so getting back to. the the the treatment we're talking about that friend and why you give that. you said that's something you can rephrase and repeat what you said just so i. it's at the point it's something i already have a job for you to start working again and is that. one of the things that you do is sort of standard practice with a cardiac arrest yes and you also get sodium bicarbonate as one of the art treatment. options for for a cardiac arrest as well and as that. does not provide assistance if there's downtime or some extended period of time without a pulse. i can receive the records why do you get stuck in my car and. this training that i was given with. acidosis and what is acidosis. so your ph d. would be low. and there's many different things that can be causing. what is a bad to have ph. and to the details on an expert but training to be. correct and as i said us is something that can be.

. >> following yesterday's murder conviction of derek chauvin in the death of george floyd. attorney general merrick garland announced today the justice department was opening a civil investigation to assess the practices of the minneapolis police department in response to an alleged pattern of misconduct. the new probe will be separate from an ongoing criminal investigation into the death of mr. floyd. attorney general garland: good morning. like so many of you i closely watched the event in minnesota. although the state's prosecution was successful, i know that nothing can fill the void that the loved ones of george floyd have felt since his death. my heart goes out to them and to all those who have experienced similar loss. i know such wounds have deep roots, and that too many communities have experienced those wounds firsthand. yesterday's verdict in the state criminal trial does not address potentially systemic policing issues in minneapolis. today, i am announcing that the justice department has opened a civil investigation to determine whether the minneapolis police d

their latest gold ratings goose in the trial of former police officer derek shaw and for the murder of george floyd not since o.j. simpson and then later trayvon martin have we seen such round the clock news coverage of the murder trial let's be honest this case has all the markings of a modern ratings cable news blockbuster violence racism annoying depends attorneys courageous prosecutors good versus evil and lots and lots and lots of room for talking heads it's like a 24 hour marathon of law and order except this time sam waterston and jerry orbach have been replaced by wolf blitzer and chuck todd. god help us but amidst all the glitz and glam of modern news coverage it's easy to forget that there is a community at the center of all of this a community who for over a year now has lived in the shadow of the police killing of george floyd i'm talking of course about the residents of the city and maybe hoods of minneapolis minnesota a community that since floyd's murder has not only been under siege by the burning spotlight of the cable news media but by the failure of their elected officials

missed a show in the form of minneapolis police officer who is accused of killing an unarmed black man george floyd last year mr sullivan is facing charges including 2nd degree murder after handcuffing floyd face down in the kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 and a half minutes in may last year and much of the prosecution questioning so far has been focused on practical training and professional standards and making sure that all of us as are accountable for knowing and following the same policies will be bringing you more on that trial live here on al-jazeera when we return but for now let's speak to alan fischer he joins us outside the courthouse in minneapolis and we've been saying this is fairly unusual for a police chief to testify against one of his own presumably chief down as one of the critical witnesses for the prosecution here. it's a big win to have him on the stand is we've said before it's an important cultural movement if you. were trials like this it is very rare for there to be breaches of what's become. one police officer will give evidence against another and here we have as

there to dr brad langan fell's if you recall the doctor responsible for the direct patient care for george freeways when he was taken into the emergency room last may and was also the man who is eventually. the man who pronounced him dead he's been answering cross-examination questions there from the defense and if you are just joining us now on al-jazeera we are watching the trial of former minneapolis police officer derek sheridan who's accused of killing unarmed black man george ford last year now mr sheridan is facing charges including 2nd degree murder $100.00 cuffing ford face down in the kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 and a half minutes in may last year and obviously caused a huge amount of anger in various communities and in the outbreak of large scale protests now dr langan feld is the 1st witness to be called in this in what's now the 2nd week of the trial so far he's testified that when mr ford arrived in the critical kariya he was in cardiac arrest that his heart had stopped he's so far been described in the medical procedures that were carried out and he's also been testify

officers how lane king and george. on monday. evening around 9 pm back on may 25th 2020 i received a call i was at my residence and i received a call from one of my. 3 was a deputy chief who had informed me that minneapolis police officers have responded to 38 in chicago. and while attempting to take someone into custody. that. which i learned now to be mr floyd. they believed that he would not make it or survive and so he was being transported via ambulance to at that time hip in qana medical center. and while. it least the information i had that evening at 9 pm. if that time at least was i was told was still alive i decided to. contact the minnesota bureau of criminal apprehension and they are a state agency that conducts our critical incidents i deem that this would be a critical incident and it has been our protocol to alert them and they would conduct that investigation so i made that call to the b.c. a to have them start to conduct this critical incident. did you then proceed to city hall. i should also say that i right aft

behind the vehicle with the officer including from us or shogun physically on physically restraining george floyd and the state is building a very strong case each witness has made clear that even the use of force is allowable is acceptable under the policy that officers must stop using force when the suspect. stops resisting and we've seen now from several vantage points the videos where george floyd is no longer resisting in fact his motionless and even before that point his hands are behind his back his or prone position which we hear repeatedly is not the way that suspects can remain when our servers are using force they must turn them on their site we hear that from malta paul oxer is from the department and there's also been a discussion about the provision of of health care and medical services to that alexis hoga law electra and columbia law school great to get your thoughts with us here on out of there thanks so much for being with us and access. or let's now go to our correspondent allen fessor he is outside that courthouse where that trial is taking place in minneapolis and as we

of all of this a community who for over a year now has lived in the shadow of the police killing of george floyd i'm talking of course about the residents of the city of mabel hood's of minneapolis minnesota a community that since floyd's murder has not only been under siege by the burning spotlight of the cable news media but by the failure of their elected officials race and race were agitators and the militaristic reaction of their law enforcement agencies to their calls for justice this week the u.s. congressman woman out of minnesota omar told c.n.n.'s jake tapper that the community was on edge and that we haven't seen justice not delivered in our community for many years and while the rest of america and the world watches the courtroom drama play out on their t.v.'s it's just outside that courtroom vioxx reports that the hennepin county government center in minneapolis is surrounded by concrete barriers chain link fencing and barbed wire nearby buildings have boarded up their storefront windows members of the national guard have been patrolling the area. with the mayor and police chi

to george, actually. not to both of them, just george. >> when you approached the car from the passenger side, did you see how many people were in the car? >> three. >> and where were the three people? >> george was in the driver's seat, his friend was in the passenger's seat and there was a woman in the backseat in the middle or possibly on the right, back behind the passenger. >> had you seen those individuals before that today? >> no. >> had you seen them in the store earlier? >> just now. >> and when you had this conversation at the vehicle, who were you talking to? >> the person that george was with. >> the guy in the front passenger seat? >> correct. >> did you make any observations at that point of mr. floyd? >> correct. >> what did you see regarding mr. floyd? >> he seemed like he didn't want this to happen. like he was just kind of like why is this happening sort of thing. >> did he seem awake? >> yes. >> did he talk to you at all? >> not really. he just kind of shook his head. >> and the passeng

george floyd needs to be dead checked he needs to have been assaulted by the. defendant check. and that assault needs to result in his death check and he did that with each of those charges and he summarized saying these are all things of which derek chauvinism guilty and then he concluded with a line of prosecutor in his another prosecutor in his opening remarks stated and that was you can believe your eyes all throughout this trial the prosecutors have been telling people everything you need to know about what happened to george floyd and what derek show been did there is in the video it's in the 9 minute and 29 2nd video that we saw from darnell of frazier that's the most popular one but it's also when the police badge cameras it is in other bystanders video videos and the hardest thing i think for the defense to refute here is going to be just that amount of time in 9 minutes and 29 seconds the fact that officer show not only didn't give c.p.r. to george floyd after he was clearly not showing a pulse but that he didn't allow others to and he kept his knee on floyd's neck un

training and policy so far this week we've also been hearing from the emergency room doctor who treated george floyd when he was taken to hospital as well as the minneapolis police chief chief who really really emphasize that what took place in terms of that detention was completely not in line with police policy now this could go on for some time and there have been a number of these taking place throughout the course of this trial and they will be will return then to cross-examination of sergeant yang there has been a very long discussion that's been ongoing this week around just what is acceptable for police officers to do in their line of duty and that sidebar now appears to be ending and and testimony is resuming that's listen as part of your. your role in the minneapolis police department do you train both deaths reprove as well as. veteran officers. yes i do and you can you describe the difference between the training that that would receive versus a real veteran officer something like this will be given to the recruits and officers that have gone through. this associations training on

george floyd. and you would agree that fentanyl was respiratory to present pretty. >> that is my understanding, yes predict. >> it is close the breathing resulting in lower oxygen levels. >> they can, yes. >> and similarly increasing the carbon dioxins. >> what it would do to carbon dioxide could be outside of the my spoke of my expertise. >> methamphetamine is a stimulant, correct pretty. >> correct. >> and it because of the heart to beat faster. >> correct. >> because of the heart to work harder.au >> yes. >> it causes restriction of the arteries pretty. >> i believe you already asked me that and i would acknowledge that it increases your heart rate in the work of the heart. >> so have you certified that of an overdose pretty. >> hundreds of times a year pretty. >> heavy certified deaths has an overdose where the level of fentanyl was similar to the level of fentanyl and mr. george floyd. >> yes. >> have you done so were levels were lower predict or higher. >> yes. on bothh pretty. >> the lowest

>> george. george henry floyd. i came up to get myself -- >> yep. >> all right. >> last name? >> floyd. october 14th, '73. man, this was -- >> george floyd. >> officer, does that represent that initial interaction that you had with officers kueng, lane, mr. floyd, and the passengers of the vehicle? >> yes. >> all right. and did you then, in fact, use your computer to enter in the name of george floyd? >> yes. >> all right. and after you did that, what happened next? >> again, i observed officer lane and kueng assist floyd to their squad car in front of cub foods. i moved my squad car around so i could be closer and got out of the car and observed officers lane and kueng pin floyd on the squad. i went to assist but once i approached officer lane said i could watch the car. >> okay. we'll take this down there, and in front of you, officer, again, showing you part of your body camera footage. >> yes. >> and it appears to be the same date, the same after you've run the information and looped the car around? >> yes. >> and does -- does this video accurately reflect what you saw tha

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 still broken and what more can be done to fix it. i think that attention will continue to be mobilized around what steps can be taken to move forward in this area and that's why it's important. host:you talked about this idea of what's broken in american law enforcement. what would you say are the top elements? >> what i also said was the importance of leaders within policing to carry the banner forward on this because i think there are strong leaders within policing particularly on the management side. i think police unions are al

the have been suggesting that george floyd me have taken tablets either orally or. through other measures. what the medical examiner it was seeing was that there was no trace of drugs found trace of tablets phone in george 'd floyd's stomach which would suggest that if he'd taken drugs he taken some time before the altar kitchen with the police and also that the final point when he'd been talking about. how george floyd had a great deal of pluck around his arteries which as we know it could cause serious harm. problems he said that it wasn't that that killed george floyd it was his heart might not be in a great state it might not have been able to sustain the pressure that was put on by the police but he said the it would that may have contributed but was not the direct cause he's suggesting the direct cause was the pressure that was exerted by the police it was interesting that doctor because said that he did not want any of the videos before the autopsy and the cause of death in the manner of death was what he was investigating and the autopsy is just one part of

george floyd! george floyd's family thanked the jury and everyone who stood alongside them. today, we are able to breathe again! ms garner, i told you — we'd getjustice. and still, we're going to fight for you, too. we're going to fight for everybody. for many in law enforcement, though, this case represents one individual. they reject the notion that the outcome of the case is a referendum on policing. one of the concerns i have is the magnitude that this case has been brought up to have — that it's somehow going to be viewed as an indictment on our entire judicial system. the verdict that was rendered in this case is not a decision on whether officer chauvin was a racist or is a racist. it's not a decision on whether the minneapolis police department is in need of reform or abolishment. the decision of the jurors in this case was limited to answering the questions submitted to them by the judge, which was whether derek chauvin violated the law as to the three charges that were brought against him. the conviction of derek chauvin may or may not become a catalyst for rea

crowd: george floyd! what's his name? - crowd: george floyd! the death of george floyd in minneapolis last may sparked a public outcry that swept across america and the world. no racist police! black lives matter! the horrific events caught on camera spurred a reckoning with america's history of racial injustice. chanting: we're not leaving! change once and for all was demanded to address the plight of black men and women at the hands of police — but also the lasting impact of slavery and colonialism. newsreader: we are getting word this evening of some _ rock—throwing by youths in south—central los angeles. the response to george floyd's death was an echo of the outrage that followed another watershed moment captured on camera almost 30 years ago. in the intervening decades since the brutal beating of rodney king, many more names have come to haunt the public consciousness. we need every officer to be held accountable. and until then, it's still scary to be a black man or woman in america on account of the police. the trial of derek chau

hall was in the car with george floyd when law enforcement first approached outside the convenience store. >> on a motion for maurice hall, can you spare your name we have gotten different spellings on your names. >> marie's hall. >> representing mr. hall today what are your appearances.

of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin and the death of george floyd continues. >> the afternoon part of the trial picks up after the lunch break with the minneapolis police chief returning to the witness stand telling the court that derek chauvin violated the department's policy on use of force to restrain george floyd. >> you are still under oath. if you could please display published exhibit 219. before the break we were discussing that de-escalation policy. i would like to ask whether the actual de-escalation techniques are embedded within the policy itself. so i'm drawing your attention to again exhibit 219, which is mpd policy five dash 304 and if you take a look at that section that is been a large, de-escalation including but not limited to come if you would please summarize for the jury the different bullets that you see here. >> yes. some of the bullets here for de-escalation tactics -- >> one moment. oh, all right. thank you. all right. please a resume. >> yes. some of the de-escalation tactics that are noted here include they are not limited to placing barriers betwee

the day in question when george ford was killed. i do beg your pardon that was from a previous arrest so just to correct that again we were hearing both features from a previous arrests but this is the 1st the 1st witness that has been called for the defense testimony that from a police officer scott roby crisis in the 1st witness so cold in the defense case for going to. bring the old you back in again so that we can hear that testimony there's a good friend who is our mr ford. your honor based on the court's ruling i have no further questions for the. president. good morning out straighten. you testified that you were the officer who approached the passenger side of the vehicle you approached george floyd i'm a 6 of 21000 that's correct yes and you had your gun drawn when you approached mr flake it's not right there was a poll of yours in when you approached mr floyd he said don't shoot me man i don't want to get shot right. something like that yes you told us under his seat belt correct the script your snout and he did that right

for on one hand george why died of a 6 year but he has a 98 percent oxygen. his blood is oxygen. then it is stands to reason the opposite is true as well you can't come in and say i can conclusively prove that mr fly didn't have carbon monoxide in his blood because he had this high oxygen saturation you test one statement against the evidence of other people and you compare that is what you as jurors are obligated to do and what i am asking you to do compare the evidence against itself test it challenge it compare it to the law read the instructions in their entirety start from point of the presumption of innocence and see how far the state can get i submit that the state has failed to meet its burden of proof beyond reasonable. mr sheldon has been charged as the state indicated with these 3 charges and the judge has instructed to count one is a 2nd degree murder while committing a felony it's also called the felony murder rule. kind of the textbook example is i run into a liquor store i pull a gun i'm intending to rob the liquor store my gun goes off i shoul

as to what might have caused the death of george floyd and obviously. the fact that he had drugs in his system is going to be and has started to obviously be one of the main arguments of the fence and we can see the defense prosecutor. the defense attorney there let's go to alan fischer who is following developments for us just outside court in let me ask you this allan what have you made of the past hour or so. this is really just a boat lying the training that police officers get when it comes to dealing with those who may suffer a medical emergency when they're in their custody the defense making it very clear that the given the techniques and the tools to be able to shoot people such as george floyd if you suddenly became unconscious what the defense are trying to do in the still trying to build this case at the moment is that everything becomes slightly more complicated if someone is on drugs and we know that derek children believe that george floyd was in drugs certainly there was an interesting hours of evidence this morning here in minneapolis w

minneapolis police officer derek chauvin arguing the prosecution had not proven its case in the death of george floyd. after the motion was denied on the court consider other hearing testimony from the doctor. retired chief medical examiner. [inaudible]. >> we are in the record, we have several issues to take care of. first, the defense and acquittal. >> thank you your honor. pursuant to our discussions yesterday in terms of the timing, at this point the defense moves to roll the procedure 26.03 provision 18 paragraph one for judgment of acquittal this particular case printed make sure the court is very familiar with the standards to review the evidence from favorable to state printed this point, the defense and state has failed to present sufficient evidence even in the light most favorable to the state to establish two of the principal issues or arguments in this particular case. the use of force and whether it was reasonable as well as the cause of death of mr. floyd. and starting first and foremost the use of force, with the state is essentially done is provided six different opinions for v

and so you earned a masters degree as well and where you get that front, george washington. and what jarvis that pretty. >> 2009. it. >> so kind of things you have to do to get a masters in forensic science pretty. >> the coursework included criminal justice coursework, law courses, a lot of hands-on applications with forensic practices and my concentration was in molecular biology so there's a lot of coursework dedicated to dna testing. achieved your bachelors degree in forensic science and working on your masters did you begin working in the field as well pretty. >> yes. >> when rated. >> i initially started working at 11 with technology sound in virginia. it is a private forensic laboratory and i did dna testing there. >> prior to that the gypsum experienced at the bta pretty. >> prior to that, i was an intern at the dca. between my first and second year of graduate school. >> and what kind of work did you do during your internship point rated. >> with our print section also with the dna section. point rated and had to do with validating a new instrument that they were us

and for a moment, i hope george floyd family has a little bit of relief. can you imagine what they have been through over the last couple weeks, day in and day out , watching videotapes and clips of the torture and murder of their family member? it is a relief. i want to congratulate our former colleague and member of the congressional black caucus, representative keith ellison, who is now attorney general of minnesota, and who led the prosecution team. so step one is the verdict. step two is the sentencing. and we have been through this too many times to know you can get a verdict, but the sentencing must match the crime he was convicted of, so now we have to focus on transforming policing in the united states. since george floyd's murder a year ago, over 100 people have died at the hands of police. since the trial started march 29, 63 people have died at the hands of police. in my opinion, this is the human rights issue in the united states of america. we need to pass the george floyd justice in policing act, put it on president biden's desk, because tha
