The streets to a place where we can restore the justice so that those that are expressing rage and anger and demanding justice are heard. So i want to just call out very, very clearly. As we put our presence on the treat to restore order, it is to open that space, to seek justice and heal what happened. Joining us with the latest on the ground in minneapolis, nbc News ReporterShaquille Brewster and shaq, perhaps one of the best ways to quell some of these demonstrations is some action from prosecutors. Where are we on that . Reporter still no action, chuck. We heard right now the investigation is in the hand of both faib and state investigators and we heard from them a little bit yesterday. There is no action, no decision has been made yet. When you listen to protesters thats what they want to hear. Thats what they are awaiting for, arrests of the officers. Within the past two hours we heard from the governor of minnesota and one thing he said is that he pleaded for folks to restore order here in minneapolis. He said we need to restore order in order to be able to focus and shift attention back on getting justice for mr. Floyd. If you talk to protester, if you talk to even some of the citizens and people in this community, people who are out right now, were in front of 3rd Police District and this is where you saw a lot of clash, a lot of buildings being burned. People out now, who are assessing what has become of their community, you talk to them they say the biggest that can ease the tension in this neighborhood is arresting officers involved. Arresting the officer especially the one who had his knee on mr. Floyds neck for several minutes at a time until he became unresponsive and pulseless. Thats when you continue to hear from protesters. One thing that you see much differently and this is apparent even in daylight is the Police Presence. These are state patrolmen. They have come out. We heard from the governor that they began this mission to clear this area. 3rd Police District is back there. As you go further back, there was that big parking lot where we saw the target being looted, the Grocery Store being looted. They cleared out that area overnight. That order is established. This is something we havent seen in several days. I was telling andrea in the last hour that i was there on wednesday evening when we saw the looting beginning. Saw the protest initially peaceful by day, a pattern that weve been seeing. Then we saw the looting beginning. That continued through thursday until about 3 00 a. M. This morning. Our crew came. We tried to do a live shot this morning and still in control of people who were going in and out of the stores, setting fire to buildings. We decided to leave the setting because it wasnt in order yet. Thats what youre seeing. They are making it very clear, very clear show of force they are taking it seriously. You heard from the governor warning people there wont be a lack of leadership this time around. They have their mission and try to keep the streets safe because he says there needs be order restored if they want the focus to shift back to justice the for mr. George floyd. We see those officers lined up behind you. There are a number of people out. Can you describe to us what it feels like there right now. How tense is it . Are you getting a sense from the people that are there today that they are going to continue to stay there through the evening, that they will return . Whats your sense of what the overnight hours might look like in minneapolis . Reporter im going walk around a little bit and surprise our photographer real quickly. I want to show the people over here. These are people mostly in the community who have come out the see what was going on, what is the result of the businesses that have been burned down. Its very light. Very few people. Some people up against the police line yelling at officers or have signs up doing a silent protest. But its very calm right now. The thing is we saw this exact scene yesterday. There were more people. If you go down this way that again is where the 3rd Police District was. Thats what burned down yesterday. Thats been the site of the majority of clashes that weve seen in minneapolis. Yesterday around this time up until about 5 00 p. M. As i was here, there was music playing. There were people coming around with garbage cans cleaning up the mess from the night before. It was a very light effort. People were speaking, giving speeches. There whether or not even that many tents at officers manning the station there. What you see over and over again night after night is a quick escalation in violence. Of course it starts peaceful in the daytime. You see some clashes in the evening. Then by night fall thats when things change. Thats what the governor keeps referencing. He believes and it seems he was signalling theres some organized effort here. Organized group of people who have been going from business to business, setting fire to businesses. Thats what he wants to get control of. Thats what you have the state, the reinforcement from the state. You have 500 National Guardsmen that have been activated. They are very clear from city officials to state officials they want protesters to be able to protest. Were still in this coronavirus pandemic. Thats why you see many people still with masks on. People feel strongly enough about this to come out amid a pandemic. They want those people to be able to protest but they want them to do it safely and they want them to do it without the scenes weve been seeing the past few nights. Shaquille brewster on the ground there. Tremendous on site report. Shaq, stay safe out there yourself. Thank you, sir, and well continue to check in. Katy over to you on the investigation. The county attorney clarified comments he made yesterday about why there were still no charges brought against the officer who knelt on George Floyds neck as he died. That video is graphic and horrific and terrible and no person should do that. But my job in the end is to prove that he violated a incriminate false statute and there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. After that press conference in a new statement, he walked those comments back saying quote it is critical to review all the evidence because at the time of trial invariably all that information will be used. Joining us now with more on this investigation is nbc news justice correspondent tom winter. Tom, help sort through this for us. What would, if state charges are brought, what could be on the table . Reporter sure. A couple of different things, katy and im just pulling directly from the documents on the county attorneys website. Free mapp, as you just read his statements. They range from Second Degree manslaughter up to different degrees of murder. The murder charges are more difficult initially to prosecute and require presumably a longer investigation because it goes to intent of what the officer intended to do when he used that use of force that, obviously, resulted in the death of george floyd. There is a lesser charge and thats one i mentioned before, which is manslaughter in the Second Degree. In that ill just read the the law. The person in this case, the officer creates an unreasonable risk and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another. An important part of this here is, and i understand the comparisons between this case and say sean bell, eric gardner or michael brown, but from a legal standpoint, from a purely legal standpoint this case is radically different and thats because george floyd is already in handcuffs. Thats going to change the way that this is looked at and the decision to use force and eventually deadly force in this situation and the type of technique that the officer used there is technically allowed by the Minneapolis Police department according to their use of force manual. Hes allowed to put that knee on his neck. But the only way that you can do that according to the manual is if somebody is actively resisting arrest. You look at this video and ive talked to a lot of folks in Law Enforcement in the last day or so and they say under no way of watching this or looking at it or circumstance does the force thats used here, it all meets the standards that would apply for the Minneapolis Police department really in any Police Department. Thats going a key thing that prosecutors can look at and perhaps more quickly make a determination on whether to charge or not. Another thing thats going to be key theyre, katy is the medical examine. We dont know if this is the case but if george floyd had any sort of underlying medical condition or anything else that may have contributed to his death i think what they are going look at here from the medical examiner is whether or not the officers actions and boy they sure appear to have led to the point where george floyd died and i think once we get that determination its going very difficult for that local prosecutor not to move forward with some sort of a charge here. Again most likely the manslaughter in the seconddegree if not other charges. Tom winter, tom thank you for that report. Chuck tougher with some of the evidence that tom was just talking about. So new video shows a different angle at the moment george floyd was restrained by Minneapolis Police. Cell phone videos and Police Reports to piece together these moments much about floyds death. Take a look. Its just after 8 00 p. M. On may 25th and the security cameras of this local restaurant are rolling. The indicated time is about 20 minutes fast. A blue mercedes has been parked curb side on east 38th street for several minutes. We do not have footage showing when it arrived. George floyd is in the drivers seat. A police car pulls up in front of this local Convenience Store and two officers walk in. Minneapolis police said in a statement their officer responded to a report of a forgery in progress. Meaning someone was trying to use counterfeit money in a store. A few minutes later the officers cross the street and approach the vehicle. The police said they found the suspect in his car. The first officer approaches the driver while his partner walks around to the passenger side. The interaction between the officer and floyd cant clearly be seen from this angle but the driver of this black vehicle filmed part of it on his phone. The officer struggles to get floyd out of his car. His colleague walks over to help him put the handcuffs on. The black car drives off. Floyd falls briefly to the ground, the officer helps him back up before leading him towards the sidewalk where he directs floyd to sit on the ground. A parked police car shows up to the scene. Redacted body cam footage from that new officer was released by the park police chief. The officer exits the car to see his two colleagues questioning floyd and two people who were justin car. A few minutes later the officer helps floyd up off the ground. The video has no sound so we dont know what was said between the two officer and floyd in this moment. They walk him across the street back towards their squad car. Floyd falls to the ground once more. Police originally said they noticed floyd going into medical distress and called an ambulance to the scene. Another police car pulls up. Obstructing our view from this angle. Its hard to clearly see what unfolded in the next four minutes. Behind the vehicles open back door we can make out what may have been a struggle. Whatever was happening between floyd and tofrsers at that very moment caught the attention of this passerby who stops to watch. Two minutes later a witness standing on chicago avenue captures part of the scene unfolding behind the squad car. One officer looks over as three of his colleagues restrain floyd who is lying face down on the ground in handcuffs. We dont know how floyd ended up on the ground. One officer is pressing his knee into floyds neck which we see clearly in this video taken only seconds later by another witness standing in front of the restaurant. She captured the next the ten minutes of his deadly arrest up until hes and the away in an ambulance. Joining us former u. S. Attorney for the Eastern District of new york. He was also the lead prosecutor in the conviction of nypd officers that were found guilty of torturing and killing another man. I hope you had a chance to see all of the video that were able to piece together there. And you heard what the county attorney said yesterday about evidence and all of this. So do you think this would be a difficult prosecution . At the state level, no. At the federal level somewhat harder but certainly a prosecutable case. The standard that the state and federal prosecutors would have to show is different. As tom winter just explained under state law theres different types of either murder or manslaughter and some of those charges particularly the manslaughter charge does not require the prosecutors to prove that the officer intended to kill mr. Floyd if they can show whats called culpable negligence. Under federal law its different to prove what you call a civil rights murder, the federal prosecutors would have to show that the officers deliberately used Excessive Force against mr. Floyd. Not just that they were sloppy or unreasonable or negligent. That said, you know, the video that you pieced together that i watched from various angles certainly provide a lot of evidence that mr. Floyd did not resist arrest and that the force that was used on him particularly at the time you can see by the arrows on the street was clearly excessive. What might the county attorney be waiting for . What evidence is he looking at right now that would cause a delay in potential charges coming snout this has been many days now. So what hes hopefully trying to do is expeditiously as he possibly can is collect as much evidence as there is, including videos from every angle. In fact, a new video surfaces thad adds additional perspective on what happened particularly as to the role of the other three officers. Witnesses of whom there were many during this ten minute or more episode. Hes going to want to speak to the medical examiner. Hes probably going to want to speak to use of force expert because the officers are charged and defend themselves in a trial you can be sure they will find an expert to say the force they used was reasonal. So in a case like this he wants to gather as much of that evidence as he possibly can. Do as thorough a job as he possibly can. Recognizing expeditious work is plainly called for here. Not a rush to judgment but working as quickly and thoroughly as they can to bring charges and charges that are warranted. From what youve seen so far are the other officers, do they stand to be charged . I mean, maybe. It presents a more challenging case for the prosecutors. Either state or federal. Because typically, you know, people, Police Officers are charged for what they do, the actions they actually take. So for, you know, three of the officers for a certain period of time they are basically standing around. But this new video which, again, reinforces the the desirant of gathering as much evidence as they can this new video shows one of the other officers appears to be physically restraining mr. Floyd on the ground as well with a third officer very close by. So there seems to be the makings of a case by at least one if not two or all three officers from what we would call either aiding and abetting, assisting the officer in whatters doing or arguably conspiring, tacitly agreeing that they were basically going to use Excessive Force against this handcuffed an seemingly defenseless man. So thats the area where frankly the prosecutors are probably or should be spending more of their time analyzing whether or not all four of the officers can be arrested. Very quickly, the fact that they called an ambulance, because they thought he was having a medical issue, is that almost is that more damning for these Police Officers that they were being so physical with them if they were calling for medical back up . We see that. Unfortunately we see that in a number of cases, exactly what happened in the eric gardner case. So, i mean, the explanations could vary. Prosecutor would argue thats incriminating they knew they were doing serious physical harm to this man. They saw he was he bleeding, that he may have been in distress, wanted to make sure he wasnt having a heart attack or some other breathing problem. Who knows what they could come up for justification of that. Yes, its relevant but more to the point whats relevant is what were seeing right now. Thats the core of the case. The prosecutors will try to be thorough and build up evidence were looking the at the core of the case right now.
