Range was expected, now were waiting to hear the reaction from various parties including from the floyd family themselves because Derek Chauvin did speak today. Well give you the details of that. First to Matt Finn In Minneapolis that has been chronicling the case from the beginning and how things are going now. Matt . Hi, neil. Right now peaceful in the streets.

I mean, for his own party, it is hard to watch after the russia hoax, russi two impeachments, three indictments in a country bitterly by class and education.
