- CERTAIN THAT WE HOLD THEM TO - ACCOUNT FOR EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER - THE LAW. - WHATEVER THE CHARGES WOULD HAVE - BEEN HAD THE ROLES BEEN REVERSED - , IF GEORGE FLOYD HAD HIS KNEE - ON DEREK CHAUVIN'S NECK FOR NINE - MINUTES, IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT - TO HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR. - THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A VICTIM - IMPACT STATEMENT IN COURT. - MORE THAN LIKELY BY A FAMILY - MEMBER. - I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY -- THE - JUDGE IS GOING TO PRONOUNCE THE - SENTENCE. - THIS IS MY BROTHER, WHO HE WAS. - WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO TO HIM - SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIS KILLER. - NO POLICE OFFICER SHOULD BE - ABOVE THE LAW. - >> WHAT ARE YOU HOPING FOR IN - SENTENCING? - HOW CONCERNED ARE YOU ABOUT THE - OTHER OFFICERS BEING CHARGED? - >> I'LL PUT IT THIS WAY. - DEREK CHAUVIN HAD HIS HOMEBOYS - WITH HIM.

- CONSISTENT. - YET, ALL THE WORK THAT IS - HAPPENING NOW ON THE GROUND - SINCE HIS HOMICIDE IS WORK THAT - HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES. - IT WILL HAVE SOME EFFECT. - THERE IS STILL A LOT OF WORK TO - DO. - JUDY: HOW DO YOU SEE ANY CHANGES - COMING FROM WHAT WE JUST - WITNESSED OVER THE LAST YEAR AND - IN THIS TRIAL? - >> IT'S REALLY HARD TO SAY RIGHT - NOW. - IN THE UNITED STATES, WE HAVE - OVER 16,000 POLICE DEPARTMENTS. - CHANGES ARE MOSTLY MADE AT THE - LOCAL LEVEL. - IT'S GOING TO BE A DECISION THAT - IS MADE COMMUNITY BY COMMUNITY - HOW THEY WANT TO RESPOND TO THIS - HORRIFIC MURDER THAT WE ALL SAW - THANKS TO DARNELLA FRAZIER. - JUDY: REFERRING TO THE YOUNG - WOMAN WHO HAD A VIDEO TAKEN. - EVERYTHING THAT SHE SAW. - STAYING WITH YOU, WHERE DO WE - SEE CHANGE COMING INITIALLY? - YOU SAY IT HAS TO COME - PARTMENT BY DEPARTMENT.

- CAN FEDERAL LAW MAKE A - DIFFERENCE? - >> TIME WILL TELL. - RIGHT NOW, THE GEORGE FLOYD - JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT IS - PENDING IN CONGRESS. - IT HAS BEEN PASSED BY THE HOUSE - OF REPRESENTATIVES. - THAT ACT ATTEMPTS TO INCENTIVIZE - REFORM AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, TYING - FEDERAL GRANT MONEY TO CHANGES - IN USE OF FORCE POLICY, DATA - COLLECTION. - IT ELIMINATES QUALIFIED IMMUNITY - WHICH IS A PROTECTION THAT - EXTENDS TO POLICE OFFICERS WHEN - THEY ARE SUED FOR MISCONDUCT. - A HOST OF OTHER REFORM MEASURES. - WE WILL SEE IF THAT PASSES - CONGRESS. - IF IT DOES, WE CAN EXPECT SOME - REFORM MEASURES. - THERE'S A REAL QUESTION ABOUT - WHETHER THAT'S ENOUGH. - JUDY: HOW DO YOU SEE THAT WITH - THIS FEDERAL LAW? - IT ISN'T PASSED YET. - DO YOU SEE IT MAKING A - DIFFERENCE IF IT WERE TO BECOME - LAW? - >> POLICING IS LOCAL. - FEDERALLY, THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH - THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING - TO BE ABLE TO DO. - IT WILL BE UP TO LOCAL - COMMUNITIES, BLACK AND BROWN

- COMMUNITIES, TO DETERMINE WHAT - TYPE OF PUBLIC SAFETY THEY WANT - AND WHETHER THAT PUBLIC SAFETY - IS ARMED. - WE SEE THIS ALREADY GOING ON. - WE KNOW THAT IT'S HAPPENING IN - THE BACKGROUND. - AGAIN, IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT - IS LOC. - YOU FEEL IT CLOSER TO HOME THAN - YOU DO FROM THE FEDERAL - GOVERNMENT. - THERE ARE SOME THINGS THEY WILL - BE ABLE TO DO. - OTHER THAN THAT, A LOT OF THIS - WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN LOCALLY. - JUDY: WE DID NOT HEAR RACE COME - UP A GREAT DEAL DURING THE - TRIAL. - IT IS CERTAINLY IN PRACTICALLY - EVERY CONVERSATION THAT TAKES - PLACE AROUND POLICING. - HOW DO YOU SEE CHANGES TAKING - PLACE IN ATTITUDES AROUND RACE? - HOW IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS - ADDRESSED? - >> IT WAS REALLY STRIKING THAT - RACE WAS SOMETHING THAT - BASICALLY WENT UNMENTIONED AT - DEREK CHAUVIN STRIVE. - --'S TRIAL. - MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TOOK TO THE - STREETS LAST SUMMER IN RESPONSE - TO GEORGE FLOYD'S MURDER. - IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO

- IMAGINE THE TREATMENT THAT WAS - GIVEN TO GEORGE FLOYD HAPPENING - TO SOMEONE WHO WAS WHITE. - JUDY: HOW DO YOU SEE THAT MAKING - A DIFFERENCE? - WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATIONS NEED - TO TAKE PLACE? - ARE WE TALKING ABOUT LAWS - CHANGING OR WHAT? - >> ALL OF THAT. - WE SEE SOME OF THIS HAPPING - ALREADY ON THE GROUND. - COMMUNITIES ABSENTLY DEMANDING - THAT MONEY BE MOVED AND MADE - MO EFFICIENT, ABOUT THE - SERVICES THEY NEED ON THE - GROUND. - WE SEE THIS WITH MENTAL HEALTH. - YOU WILL SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS. - WE SEE, WHEN IT COMES TO HOW YOU - HOLD POLICE OFFICERS - ACCOUNTABLE, COMMUNITY IS OFTEN - VOICING FRUSTRATION THAT THAT - DOES NOT HAPPEN. - YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE - CONVERSATIONS AND LAWS PASSED ON

- THE GROUND THAT HAVE TO DO WITH - COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. - WHAT TYPES OF PROTECTIONS - OFFICERS GET EVEN IN THAT - PARTICULAR VEHICLE. - THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY - HAPPENING ON THE GROUND. - THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WHAVE - TO PAY ATTENTION TO. - WHAT WILL BE IMPORTANT THROUGH - ALL OF THIS IS THAT WE HAVE TO - MAKE SURE THAT WE COLLECT THE - INFORMATION AND DATA SO THAT - WHAT WE KNOW WORKS, WE CAN SHARE - AND REPLICATE WHERE APPROPRIATE. - WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT - HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE ON THE - GROUND HISTORICALLY BY - COMMUNITIES. - WE OFTEN OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT - A LOT OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR - HAVE BEEN DOING INTERVENTION - WORK, FOCUSED DETERRENTORK, - WITHOUT GETTING THE FUNDS THEY - NEED TO DO THIS. - A LOT OF THIS WORK IS ALREADY - HAPPENING. - A LOT OF US MAKING SURE WE PAY - ATTENTION AND WE LIFT UP THOSE - THINGS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING - THE WORK. - JUDY: MANY PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS - AND SAY A LOT OF THESE SMALL - STEPS SOUND LIKE THEY COULD MAKE - A DIFFERENCE. - WE ALSO KNOW THAT AT THE FAR END - OF THOSE WHO ARE FRANKLY SO - DISILLUSIONED WITH POLICING

- RIGHT NOW ARE SAYING, NEED TO DO - AWAY WITH POLICING OR DEFUND THE - POLICE. - HOW DO YOU LOOK ON THAT - ARGUMENT? - >> THE ACTIVISTS WHO ARE CALLING - TO DEFUND THE POLICE ARE REALLY - CALLING FOR US TO REIMAGINE - PUBLIC SAFETY. - IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT TAKING AWAY - MONEY OR FUNDING FROM THE - POLICE. - IT'S THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT - RELY TAKES TO MAKE COMMUNITIES - SAFE. - IF THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN DO, - PROGRAMS WE CAN FIND, HOSPITALS - WE CAN BUILD, SCHOOLS WE CAN - BUILD THAT WILL MAKE A - DIFFERENCE AND BRING TRUE PUBLIC - SAFETY. - IT'S NOT AN EASY TASK. - IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT COULD - POSSIBLY HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. - IT'S REALLY A VISION FOR WHAT - PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE UNITED - STATES CAN MEAN. - THAT OLD SAYING, WHEN ALL YOU - HAVE IS A HAMMER, EVERYTHING - LOOKS LIKE A MALE. - WE ARE SO USED TO RELYING ON THE - POLICE FOR ALL MANNER OF THINGS - WHERE MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE TO. - THERE ARE PLACES LIKE BERKELEY - WHO HAVE SAID THEY WANT TO GET

- POLICE OUT OF TRAFFIC - ENFORCEMENT. - WE KNOW THAT TRAFFIC STOPS ALL - TOO OFTEN LEAD TO VIOLENCE. - WE SAW DAUNTE WRIGHT KILLED - OUTSIDE MINNEAPOLIS LAST WEEK. - THERE ARE CREATIVE APPROACHES - THAT ARE TAKING HOLD ALL AROUND - THE COUNTRY. - I'M EXCITED TO SEE SOME POSITIVE - CHANGE. - JUDY: HOW DO YOU SEE THIS - QUESTION OF DEFUNDING THE - POLICE? - SOME HAVE INTERPRETED IT TO MEAN - DOING AWAY WITH POLICE. - >> IN SOME CASES, THAT'S WHAT IT - MEANS. - A BIG PART OF THAT CONVERSATION - IS, WHAT DOES THE COMMUNITY WANT - TO HAVE HAPPEN? - IF IT MEANS THAT WE HAVE UNARMED - POLICE RESPONDING TO CERTAIN - SITUATIONS, THAT'S WHAT WE DO. - THE WORK IS HAPPENING IN HOPKINS - COUNTY. - IT'S THE SAME THING. - HOW DO WE REIMAGINE A SERVICE - THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE ARMED - PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE WHO WEPT - SOCIAL NEEDS THAT ARE NOT BEING - MET? - I AGREE WITH ALEXIS. - IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HOW WE GET - THIS DONE. - IT'S THE FUNDING. - OFTEN, WHAT WE FIND FOR THOSE

- COMMUNITIES WHO TRULY WANT - SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THEY ARE - FIGHTING BUREAUCRATIC HURDLES - JUST TO GET FUNDING IN TO DO THE - WORK THAT THEY WANT TO DO. - SO A LOT OF THIS WILL HAVE TO DO - WITH WHO'S PAYING ATTENTION. - IT'S ABOUT GOVERNMENT, BUDGETS. - IT'S ALSO ABOUT WHO IS A - PRIORITY. - THIS HAS BEEN THE NUMBER ONE - QUESTION FOR DECADES. - FOLKS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE - A LOT OF PATIENCE. - MAKING SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND - THAT IT MIGHT NOT WORK AND IT - WILL HAVE TO BE RE-ENVISIONED - AND REDONE. - IT DOESN'T MEAN WE WILL GIVE UP - OR ROLL BACKWARDS. - JUDY: IT'S IN AN HONEST - CONVERSATION. - TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE COUNTRY - RIGHT NOW. - WE ARE BEGINNING IT YET AGAIN. - IT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE FOR A - LONG TIME AND IT WILL CONTINUE. - WE THANK BOTH OF YOU. - >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. - JUDY: AS WE'VE HEARD, THE - CHAUFFEUR AND GUILTY VERDICT IS - RENEWING INTEREST IN THE PUSH - FOR A FEDERAL POLICE REFORM - BILL. - THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN

- THAT. - THE GEORGE FLOYD POLICING REFORM - ACT WOULD BANNED CHOKEHOLD'S A - FEDERAL LEVEL AND SOME NO-KNOCK - WARRANTS, ESPECIALLY IN DRUG - CASES. - IT WOULD REALLY PUT THE PRESSURE - ON STATES TO DO THE SAME THING. - NOW, POLICE UNDER THIS LAW COULD - BE CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL - OFFENSES IF THEY ACT RECKLESSLY. - THAT WOULD BE A NEW LOWER - STANDARD FOR CHARGING POLICE IN - THEIR DUTIES. - ALSO, AS YOU HEARD, OFFICERS - WOULD NO LONGER BE IMMUNE. - IMMUNE FROM LAWSUITS. - FAMILIES WOULD BE ABLE TO SUE - MORE ABLY AND QUICKLY. - WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW BEHIND THE - SCENES, THERE ARE EARNEST TALKS - HAPPENING. - THERE ARE THREE MAIN PLAYERS - HERE. - KAREN BASS, HOUSE MEMBER FROM - CALIFORNIA, FORMER HEAD OF THE - CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS. - EDITOR CORY BOOKER OF NEW - JERSEY. - THEY ARE TALKING WITH TIM SCOTT, - THE REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM - SOUTH CAROLINA.
