daunte, because you were the prince that made us all come together. they stopped traffic today all the way through minneapolis, folk couldn't drive nowhere because they had to say hail to the prince. they should not have done what they done. we are going to stop minneapolis today because a prince is on his way to his rest, and as you rest there's a resting place, there's a martyr's bench, take your seat, daunte. tell george floyd who you are. take your seat, daunte. shake hands with castillo. take your seat next to oscar grant, because there's a special place in heaven for those that shed innocent blood because god will use you to straighten out

the world. the world will never be the same because we going to stand up for situations like this. we do not in any way condone or insight violence. people keep telling me, reverend, why don't y'all tell people not to be violent? we always have, but when are you going to tell policemen to stop being violent? the problem is not us talking to our youth. the problem is you talking to your bad cops. all cops are not bad. i saw ten get on the stand the other day and testify against another policeman. that's why we know change is here. when you see the blue wall of

silence tumble in a courtroom in minneapolis, when policemen understand they are committed to the oath rather than to their colleague, that's when we know a break through is coming. that's when we know we can pass the george floyd bill, because folk are not going to lie on you no more. next time you get ready to pull your gun, next time you get ready to bend your knee, put in your mind the picture of the man taking the handcuffs and making chauvin put his hands behind his back and walk into a penitentiary and learn that you will pay for the crimes you committed. as i talked closer to the family, they said, well, the real reason they stopped was his tags had expired.

well, i come to minnesota to tell you, your tags have expired. your tags of racism has expired. your tags of police brutality has expired. your tags of white supremacy has expired. your tags at looking at us different than anybody else has expired. your tags have expired. it's time to renew and get new tags, tags of righteousness, tags of fairness, tags of treating everybody the same way, our tags of no justice, no peace. lastly, when i come to minneapolis, three days after

george floyd was killed, lynched by knee, i went to one of the marches, and i saw almost as many whites as blacks. now your children are doing what you wouldn't do, standing up for justice. we called martin luther king, august 28th, the anniversary of his father's march. people don't call it, it's a pandemic, there's going to be a super spreader, but 204,000 people came. we tested them all. we did all we were supposed to do to see what way we could avoid any breaking out of covid

coming in, and we marched around the george floyd justice and policing act. we marched around the john lewis voting act, because they are trying to turn back voting rights. those tags done expired, too. that ain't going to happen no more. and we marched all over. marched for breonna taylor, whose boyfriend is with us today. he went and stayed down there and stood up for breonna taylor, and getting ready to march in texas, and i hope y'all alive in texas, because we're on the way. because your tags have expired. we are going to stop by north carolina where a young man was shot yesterday. we are going to look in columbus, ohio. your tags have expired. we are going wherever you show

up because your tags have expired in the name of the prophet, isaiah. i want you to know that this bible that you claim you believe in, you need to stop quoting it and start reading it. it's a bible of justice. if you don't understand it, talk to some of us that read it straight. i know y'all had a president that holds it upsidedown, but turn it right side up. because if you turn it right side up and you get to the end of the book, at the end of revelations god made a promise,

god made a promise, katy. he said the first shall be last and the last shall be first, and the lion and the lamb are going to lay down together and god will take care of his children. god will make a way out of nowhere. god will heal the land. god will take care of daunte now. stand up and be what we were born to be. we're not anyone's slave, we're the children of god! we're the children of god! we're the children of god! ♪ >> before we leave, and we're

going to leave orderly, we will let the family go out first, and those of you that just became family for a day, katy had to go outside and identify the family. all of you became cousins today. we want the family to leave first, but we want some of those that have come to recognize the prince estate, that we're hear and to give proclamations -- >> we are waiting to hear from amy klobuchar, and we have been listening to sharpton's powerful eu eulogy.

>> yeah, calling him the prince of garden city, and this family now, the family of daunte wright now joining a fraternity, a family with too many members. >> the mother of castillo is here, you will remember the story he was shot by police, and the boyfriend of breonna taylor and the no-knock warrant, he is there. they show up in force for a moment like this, for daunte wright's funeral. reverend sharpton knows his way around the pulpit and eulogy, sadly, and he has had them on

their feet many times. >> and that it's working on accountability, which is the passive of the george floyd policing act. we go live to brooklyn center. miguel, you know, the reverend there said if you knew who we were, that you would treat us differently. we heard today from his siblings, from his parents and his family exactly who daunte wright was. >> reporter: yeah, it was really hard to listen to the parents who could barely gets the words out. his mother saying the roles should be reversed, he should be burying me and i should not be burying my son. his father who is a forebitable man, he can barely speak, he could barely bring himself to speak, and the one line in

talking about daunte wright is his smile. they talk about just his smile and how it warmed a room and how he was always the jokestir and always had something funny to say. two of his six siblings spoke just a bit. >> my name is monica wright. i didn't really get enough time with him. i wish i got enough. i didn't get to tell him i loved him before he left. he didn't deserve this. he was so loved by everybody. y'all look around and see how big our family was. he had love for everybody. >> my name is dallas. i am one of daunte's three older brothers. we were pretty much the closest out of the two. i spent a lot of time with this

man, and every holiday is not going to be the same without him being here, and he was literally the life of the party. when he came in, his smile, his laugh, and his laugh was really contagious. anybody knows if you heard his laugh, it's contagious. but i am going to miss this man so much because he was literally my best friend, through thick and thin and all the late-night conversations about him trying to better himself as a man and the man he wanted to be for junior, we talked for hours on that and i was so proud of the man he was becoming, and he was going to make an amazing father to junior once junior got older throughout the years. i loved my little brother to death. >> reporter: this service today is as much a remembrance and funeral and good-bye to daunte

wright, 20 years old and father of one as it is a rallying cry for equality and justice. calls around the country, not just here in minneapolis, and we are seeing the burial today of daunte wright, and then they saw the verdicts in the derek chauvin trial a couple days ago, so it feels as though there's progress, and there were verdicts in the derek chauvin murder trial, and the fact that kim potter, the former police officer here in brooklyn center who was charged so quickly after the death of daunte wright, both those things together give them hope the door is open but now it's a matter of what is on the other side and can they -- can they get a greater long-term sort of equality in the justice system and in policing in this country. back to you. >> you are so right, miguel.

these two cases do seem woeven together by geographic proximity and timing, and by the people we see grieving in both places, tragically, and i think the reverend al sharpton was again trying to thread those things together which is the eulogy of this individual, daunte wright, and the larger political climate that we are in. so he vowed to that crowd that they would get -- they will pass the george floyd accountability and policing act. is that realistic? >> i think it's potentially realistic given the fact that -- certainly the democrats are supporting it, so it is. given all the incidents, you would think it would put more pressure on politicians to make changes, that so many of the people in the communities that want where they are having these issues with police departments. it's really any sized police

department, where you have minneapolis, and you look at where you look at daunte wright, you have a smaller-sized police department, 50 or so officers within that department, and you look at places like ferguson, which i covered, also a very small police department. it stretches all over the country, some of the bigger police departments and some of the smaller police departments. when you listen to what al sharpton was saying and he was talking about training and racial profiling and this is why the department of justice is going to minneapolis to look at the training, and they are going to look at the training of the police officers in the last several years to see if who they were targeting, and what kind of people they were stopping and what kind of people they were arresting and what they could learn from that, and if it's a matter of better training or tactics and are there systemic issues within the minneapolis police department. no doubt, i think at some point we will get a closer look at the

police department in brooklyn center. there's probably going to be a similar kind of investigation by the doj into that investigation on that department as things settle in with that investigation. we will see more scrutiny from the department of justice and the biden administration. >> this is the frustration a lot of people have, shimon, it's after a tragic death like this the investigation comes, the investigation of minneapolis after the death of george floyd, and the investigation of the ferguson police department after the death of michael brown, and brooklyn center, after the death of daunte wright. if they know these disparities exist, why do they have to wait for men to die to do the work to investigate, and at least the doj is starting in minneapolis. they saw to the right of your screen, the parents of daunte wright come up to what appears

to be a proclamation from congresswoman ilhan omar, and he represents the fifth district that includes brooklyn center. stay with us. we will take a quick break and continue this conversation in just a moment. we kept going. working with our customers to enable the kind of technology that can guide an astronaut back to safety. and help make a hospital come to you, instead of you going to it. so when it comes to your business, you know we'll stop at nothing. ♪ ♪i've got the brains you've got the looks♪ ♪let's make lots of money♪ ♪you've got the brawn♪ ♪i've got the brains♪ ♪let's make lots of♪ ♪uh uh uh♪

governments in record debt; inflation rising, currencies falling. but i've seen centuries of this. with one companion that hedges the risks you choose and those that choose you. the physical seam of a digital world, traded with a touch. my strongest and closest asset. the gold standard, so to speak ;) people call my future uncertain. but there's one thing i am sure of... we're watching the funeral for a 20-year-old daunte wright, and minnesota senator, amy

klobuchar speaking. >> that word justice is so heavy on our mind this week, justice. a jury found derek chauvin guilty -- guilty of the murder of george floyd and the nation owes a debt of gratitude for the george floyd family, thank you for being here. and reverend al, if i could introduce keith's family who has had his back right there, if you could stand up. his wife, monica, they had his back through everything. and to ben crump, reverend al, reverend jesse jackson, all those in my state who have been warriors for justice. while this was a historic moment for our country, we cannot confuse accountability for justice. because true justice is not done as long as having expired tags means losing your life during a

traffic stop. true justice is not done as long as a choke hold and knee on the neck or a no-knock warrant is considered legitimate policing. true justice is not done as long as black americans are killed by law enforcement at more than twice the rate of white americans. and to use your words, katy, true justice is not done as long as your son is not coming home for dinner. our hearts ache for daunte in part because so many people in the room and throughout our state can imagine being 20 years old and driving around their neighborhood on a sunday afternoon, yes, even with expired registration tags, yes, even with an air freshner hanging from a rear view mirror. only some can imagine being shot

by a police officer during a traffic stop. only some could imagine that this phone call would be their last. only some live with that fear every single day, and that, mr. crump, as you know, is the definition of injustice. during that ground-breaking trial, george floyd's family members, a store clerk, a firefighter, passersby, as you noted, reverend al, a number of police officers testified about george floyd and what happened that day. they told the truth. they said it was wrong. we heard darnella frazier, a teenager who testified having witnessed george floyd's murder saying it's nights i stay up apologizing and apologizing to george floyd for not doing more. could she have done more? no. it was not on her to change what

happened that fateful day. it's not on people who nearly a year later happen to be at the intersection of 63rd and orchard in brooklyn center to change what happened to daunte. it's on us as leaders in our communities and neighborhoods as lawmakers. we can do more. we must do more. because for too long change has come inch by inch when we should be miles ahead. it's time for washington, d.c. to move forward on police reform and pass the george floyd justice in policing act. we must make policing more accountable. we have to change police training and standards, including banning smoke holds, which my colleague, senator smith, is leading the bill to ban choke holds along with myself. she's up here with me on this stage. we have to change the status quo so that driving while black

doesn't result in getting shot. this is the urgent task before us, not for tomorrow when i go back to washington. tho not for tomorrow, not for next year, but for now. true justice. as we remember daunte's life and grieve his death, we must repair what is broken in this country and make sure class clowns and basketball fans, doting fathers and caring sons remain with us in body as daunte now does in spirit. we won't rest until justice, true justice, is done. that's my proclamation to you. >> we are getting ready to go --

let me, again, thank -- >> we are listening there to minnesota senator, amy klobuchar, talking at daunte wright's funeral to his family, to the community gathered and to so many other families of high profile victims that you heard about over the past few years of police violence. >> she also talked about passing the george floyd justice and policing act, and we'll talk about that in a moment but first the question of policing. >> joining us now, the former police officer from richmond, virginia, and the author of the book "police brutality matters." we also have cnn correspondent. joe, you have done this job and have been a police officer in richmond, so i want to talk with you about what all the speakers touched on, driving with an

expired registration tag, and driving with a dangling air freshener that is illegal there, that should never cost anybody their lives. because you have been in this role how do you think we can change policing so that driving while black is not life threatening? >> [ inaudible ]. >> can you hear me now? >> yeah. >> my heart goes out to all the family members, first of all, and listening to the service, i think about my own children. i have three boys and i worry about them being stopped by the police, so i have a vast interest in correcting this issue when it comes down to

police brutality. when you ask about fixing this, we need a stronger accountability policy, and you know, it's sad to say that it brought us to this time where the whole world now has taken note and we are all talking about how to correct the problem. through legislation is the key component in fixing police brutality, but not just in federal but in state legislation as well. >> we heard from the senator that the george floyd policing act must be passed, and cory booker is working with tim scott on qualified immunity which is protecting police officers from civil lawsuits for their conduct, and where does that stand and the plausibility it will be passed? >> there's definitely momentum

behind the george floyd policing and justice act, and it's leading some republicans to entertain the idea of passing some new regulations, new laws that may restrict the way police use force against citizens and other civilians. there's ongoing negotiations taking place, as you mentioned, republican senator tim scott who did put forward a bill last year to try and reform some of the policing tactics, and it ended up not getting passed and did not make it through the process, but now there's a new momentum behind those ideas as well as ideas that already passed the house and it appears there is enough momentum to push there through and get it to joe biden's desk. joe biden said he would sign this bill and he would fly up members of george floyd's family on air force one to bring them to the white house to witness the signing of the bill, so

there's a lot of anticipation behind this and there's momentum but it's a matter of finding out if bipartisan work can happen. >> but there's a record number of democrats supporting the bill, and if there's not that element of ending qualified immunity, and warnock said he was not committing to support any bill without taking that protection away? >> yeah, it's a big sticking point and big question and there are few opportunities to do bipartisan legislation these days and democrats will try and hold out for the best kind of bill they can get, and they know this may be their only bite of the apple, and the qualified immunity is something that george floyd's family is asking for and activists have been

asking for that, and it's a major plank for what democrats are asking for, and maybe republicans can come up with a compromise to limit qualified immunity that is amenable to both republicans and democrats, and that's a stumbling block for this effort and as we know it seems democrats will hold firm to that proposal and say if that's not in the bill it's not worth signing any bill at this moment, and that's something that caused a big hiccup last year when this proposal was being put forward and it can happen again. >> i want to know what can happen today. we know things get bogged down in congress, so today here's just one example, the mayor of berkeley, california, and i know that berkeley is a different community than, you know, richmond or columbus or brooklyn center, minneapolis, but the mayor of berkeley said that he is going to make sure that there are no more armed police pulling people over for minor traffic stops. they will not be tasked with that anymore. you have a broken taillight, an

armed police officer will not pull you over. do you like that idea? as a former police officer would you be comfortable with communities saying things like that? >> well, we can't -- what i mean by this, we can't not police. we have to have some measuring of policing, and we have to have police to deal with the criminal element that affects our community, and we can't take a no hands on approach. take off the quotas. when you target the poor black community for numbers. mayors can take off the pressure from the chiefs and these commissioners to stop going and using the police department as a money generator for their local, and we are supposed to be out there protecting, and not

generating money, so each locale can take measures, and we don't have to sit around and wait for the senate to pass this bill. we can take those initial steps. >> yeah, the -- the state -- the attorney of baltimore, marilyn mosby, said her department would not prosecute the low level crimes, and property crimes were down 36%. we will see if this is something that is considered in minneapolis or other jurisdictions. thank you both. still ahead, an alternate juror in the derek chauvin trial is speaking out to talk about what she experienced in that courtroom. the testimony she says convinced her that chauvin was guilty. plus, capitol police pushing back on accusations that their

they released a statement that said, the radio call does not mean they were only looking out for anti-counter trump protesters, and the request that officers be on the lookout for a pro trump protesters carrying a possible weapon, and this radio traffic is not and never has been under investigation by u.s. cp, but what this points to is a broader concern here on capitol hill about finding factual information about what went wrong here on january 6th, and then furthermore an inability on republicans and democrats to come together in creating an independent commission to look into what happened on january 6th, something along the lines of the 9/11 commission. speaker pelosi has said she's willing to concede on some of the points republicans have been concerned about, making it a 50

50 50/50 partisan split, and is it going to be based on january 6th, or are they going to talk about black lives matter or antifa, and democrats say they should not be part of the conversation. >> thank you. next, daily covid vaccinations have dropped below the average of 3 million per day, so is this a sign that supply has outpaced demand? there's a new study about just how rare it is to catch covid after you have been vaccinated. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic®

a new study suggests that the risks of fully vaccinated people getting covid-19 remains extremely low. researchers at new york's rockefeller university observed more than 400 employees that received both shots of either the pfizer or moderna vaccines, and only two of them became infected. both were mild cases and both infections were believed to be caused by variant strains, and that said i spoke to a woman that has a cautionairy tale of anybody that wonders if they should wear a mask. >> look at that face -- >> tonya washington was so excited when her 80-year-old father got his second dose of the covid-19 vaccine, and that meant she could spend easter with him after being apart for months. >> he called me and said daddy
