AND BRIAN KILMEADE.
THIS IS "THE FIVE"."
♪ ♪
OFFICIALS AND CITIES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY ARE URGING CALM AS WE
WAIT THE RELEASE FROM THE
BODY CAM VIDEO FROM MEMPHIS.
IT SAID TO BE BRUTAL.
IN A HORRIFIC BEATING OF TYREE
NICHOLS THAT LATER LED TO HIS
DEATH.
POLICE CHIEF CALLING THE FOOTAGE
HORRIFYING AND DISCUSSING.
ALL FIVE MEMPHIS OFFICERS
INVOLVED HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND
CHARGED WITH SECOND-DEGREE
MURDER AND OTHER FELONIES.
THE INCIDENT HAPPENING THIS
MONTH ON JANUARY 7TH, WHEN
29-YEAR-OLD WAS PULLED OVER FOR
A SUSPICION OF RECKLESS DRIVING.
THE INITIAL CONFIRMATION A CONFR
OCCURRED AND THEN HE FLED THE
SCENE AND LATER A CONFRONTATION
HAPPENED AND THE OFFICERS
ARRESTED HIM.
HE DIED THREE DAYS LATER ON
JANUARY 10TH.
THE FOLLOWING WEEK, MEMPHIS
POLICE LAUNCHED THE
INVESTIGATION AS DID THE DOJ.
JANUARY 20TH, THE FIVE OFFICERS
WERE FIRED AND ARRESTED
YESTERDAY.
CITIES ARE PREPARING FOR UNREST,
TYREE NICHOLS MOM IS PLEADING
THE SUPPORTERS TO PROTEST
PEACEFULLY.
>> I WANT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF
YOU TO PROTEST IN PEACE.
I DON’T WANT US BURNING UP OUR
CITIES, TEARING UP THE STREETS
BECAUSE THAT’S NOT WHAT MY SON
STOOD FOR.
IF YOU GUYS ARE HERE FOR ME AND
TYREE, THEN YOU WILL PROTEST
PEACEFULLY!
YOU CAN GET YOUR POINT ACROSS,
BUT YOU DON’T NEED TO TEAR UP
OUR CITIES, PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE
DO HAVE TO LIVE IN THEM.
>> Jesse: THE MEMPHIS POLICE
CHIEF EMPHASIZING THIS IS NOT
ABOUT RACE.
>> IT TAKES OFF THE TABLE THAT
ISSUES AND PROBLEMS IN
LAW ENFORCEMENT IS ABOUT RACE
AND IT IS NOT.
IT’S ABOUT HUMAN DIGNITY,
INTEGRITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND
THE DUTY TO PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITY.
>> Jesse: JESSICA, WE HEARD
VICTIMS FAMILIES BEFORE AND THE
SITUATIONS PLEAD FOR CALM,
PEACE, AND OFTEN TIMES THE PLEAS
ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
HOW DO YOU THINK THINGS ARE
GOING TO SHAKE OUT TONIGHT?
>> Jessica: I’M HOPEFUL THEY
WILL HEED THE FAMILIES CALLS AND
PRESIDENT BIDEN RELEASED A
STATEMENT AS WELL SAYING PLEASE,
PLEASE PEACEFUL ABOUT THIS.
AT THE TIMINGS DIFFICULT AND
IT’S GOING TO COME OUT AFTER
7:00 P.M. ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.
I CAN SEE BOTH SIDES THAT MAYBE
IT’S BETTER IF PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO PROTEST THAT YOU HAVE THE
WEEKEND WHERE YOU’RE NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK.
BUT IT CAN BE EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS WITH PEOPLE RUNNING
AROUND.
SITTING AT HOME ON A FRIDAY
NIGHT 7:30 P.M. AND YOU SEE A
VIDEO LIKE THAT, IT’S GOT TO BE
PRETTY BAD IF THEY PREEMPTIVELY
CHARGED THEM TO MAKE SURE
EVERYBODY KNEW IT WAS THIS BAD.
IF THEY ARE SAYING IS OUR GHIBLI
WORSE THAN THE RODNEY KING VIDEO
AND WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE FIVE
PEOPLE, THE POLICE OFFICERS, THE
FIREFIGHTER WHO RESPONDED TO THE
SCENE HAS BEEN CHARGED.
I THINK WE ARE IN FOR A VERY
HEART-WRENCHING WEEKEND AND A
FEW DAYS AFTER THAT.
I’M HONESTLY SCARED ALSO TO
PERSONALLY WATCH THE VIDEO.
I WATCHED THE GEORGE FLOYD VIDEO
WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND IT
SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE
WORSE THAN THAT WHICH IS HARD TO
IMAGINE.
>> Jesse: JUDGE, HOW DO YOU
THINK THE MEMPHIS POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND THE AUTHORITIES
HAVE HANDLED THE SITUATION SO
FAR?
’S BEFORE THEY GOT OUT IN FRONT
OF IT, JESSE, THEY CHARGED AS
YOU SAID THE MURDERER IN THE
SECOND DEGREE ALONG WITH OTHER
FELONIES TALKING ABOUT
KIDNAPPING AS WELL AS EVERY
POSSIBLE CRIME THEY HAVE BEEN
CHARGED WITH.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE
D.A. IS WELL RESPECTED THERE.
THAT THE GOVERNOR ALONG WITH THE
MAYOR IN THE TOWN THAT WORKED
WELL WITH THE COMMUNITY AND YOU
MAY RECALL THAT EVEN DURING THE
GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS, MEMPHIS WAS
RELATIVELY QUIET.
I COME I LIKE EVERYBODY AT THE
TABLE AND I’M SURE IN AMERICA,
IS JUST KIND OF HOLDING MY
BREATH, HOPING THAT IT IS NOT AS
BAD AS THEY SAY IT IS.
THE TRUTH IS, WE ALREADY KNOW
IT’S WORSE THAN RODNEY CAN COME
AROUND AGAIN DIDN’T I.
WE FOUND A FAMILY WHO IS GOT A
GREAT DEAL OF DIGNITY SAYING
PLEASE DON’T DESTROY THE CITY.
BUT I KNOW FOR THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS IN THE COUNTRY, THERE HAS
BEEN AN EFFORT TO DEFUND THE
POLICE, NOT JUST AN EFFORT, IT’S
A REALITY TO DEFINE AND
DEMORALIZE THE POLICE.
WHEN TIM SCOTT CAME OUT WITH A
POLICE REFORM BILL, NOBODY
WANTED TO READ IT.
WE TALKED ABOUT POLICE TRAINING
AND THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO COME
OUT OF IT.
THEY’LL BE PROSECUTED AS WELL
THEY SHOULD IF EVERYTHING THAT’S
BEING SAID SHOULD COME OUT TO BE
THE CASE.
WE’VE GOT TO RECOGNIZE THE PAST
WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT
ATLANTA PUBLIC SAFETY THAT WE
ARE TRYING TO BUILD A NEW
BUILDING FOR TRAINING.
I DON’T KNOW WHO IT WAS CAME OUT
OF THE WOODS AND STARTED
SHOOTING AT THE POLICE.
WE NEED MORE POLICE TRAINING, WE
HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THESE
COPS ARE BRINGING SHAME ON EVERY
DAY COPS TO GO OUT AND RISK
THEIR LIVES, BRINGING SHAME ON
THE COMMUNITY, THEY ARE BRINGING
SHAME ON THE BLACK COMMUNITY AS
WELL.
THAT’S NOT WHO WE ARE.
SO WE’VE GOT TO PREPARE TO BRING
THE TOUGHEST PUNISHMENT IF
INDEED IT IS WHAT WE EXPECTED TO
BE AND AS IT RELATES TO THE
ISSUE OF WHEN IS THE BEST TIME
TO BRING IT OUT?
I THOUGHT MONDAY MORNING APM
MIGHT BE THE BEST TIME TO LET
THIS OUT, BUT THIS IS WHAT THEY
ARE SAYING.
THEY ARE SAYING THAT PEOPLE WILL
BE AT WORK AND KIDS WILL BE AT
SCHOOL AND NOW PEOPLE WILL BE
HOME.
I UNDERSTAND THEY’RE READY READY
TO IMPOSE CURFEWS AND SHUT
EVERYTHING DOWN.
>> Jesse: THIS IS THE POLICE
ADDRESSING THE TIMING OF THE
RELEASE AND LET’S WATCH THAT.
>> WE THINK ABOUT THE PUBLIC TO
TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
WE THOUGHT ABOUT SCHOOLS,
BUSINESS, WE FELT LIKE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON IF THERE WERE
INDIVIDUALS THAT DECIDED THEY
WANTED TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST AT
LEAST OTHER INDIVIDUALS WOULD
HAVE GONE HOME, SCHOOLS WOULD BE
OUT, IT WOULD NOT BE AS
DISRUPTIVE AS IT WOULD’VE BEEN
IF WE RELEASED IT ON A WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.
>> Jesse: BRIAN?
>> Brian: IT’S GOING TO BE AN
INTERESTING STUDY BECAUSE THE
ONE THING YOU DO NOT WANT IS
WHAT HAPPENED IN CHICAGO.
IF YOU FIND OUT EIGHT MONTHS
PRIOR THERE IS A HORRIBLE VIDEO
THAT WAS SUPPRESSED AND IT COMES
OUT AND WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO
HIDE?
NO MATTER WHAT THE STORY IS,
YOU’RE A POLICE OFFICER, YOU
WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING
AHEAD OF THIS BECAUSE YOU
SUPPRESSED IT.
ON THE SURFACE, THIS SEEMS LIKE
A BAD MOVE.
WHAT ARE WE GETTING ARE COMING
TO THE SHOW WE WATCH THE POLICE
PRESS CONFERENCE AND IT’S ONE OF
THE WORST THINGS THEY’VE EVER
SEEN.
STAY TUNED FOR TOMORROW NIGHT.
IT’S ALMOST AS IF THEY ARE
QUEUING UP OUR PROGRAMMING IN
THE GETTING OF YOUR SHOW TO GET
EVERYONE READY THAT NORMALLY
WHAT YOU COULD SAY AT LEAST KIDS
WILL BE IN SCHOOL THEY’LL HAVE
TO CUT SCHOOL.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE POINT OF
THAT IS.
NOW EVERYBODY IS OFF WHETHER IT
IS MOST PEOPLE ARE OFF, OFF
WORK, SCHOOL, THEY’VE HAD TIME
TO GET INTO THEIR PLACE AND
COORDINATE AND TO THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES SAID GO
AHEAD AND PROTEST BUT MAKE IT
PEACEFUL.
MY FEELING IS PEOPLE HAD SO LONG
TO GET IN PLACE AND THINK ABOUT
IT WE ARE ALREADY FOR SOMETHING
HORRIFIC THAT WE ARE SETTING
OURSELVES UP SEE THINGS BURN.
IF THIS WORKS, IT’S THE NEW
TEMPLATE, BUT I WAS TESTING WITH
THE FORMER HEAD OF THE NAACP.
AND I SAID WHAT DID YOU THINK?
HE SAID THAT IF THE LEADERS, THE
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS AND THE
CLERGY ARE OUT AHEAD OF TIME
OVER THE LAST 48 HOURS TALKING
TO ALL THE PEOPLE AND ACTIVISTS,
THERE WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM AND
GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, THEY DIDN’T
HAVE THE OUT OF CONTROL RIOTS IN
SANFORD BECAUSE OF ALL THE
CLERGY, NOT THE COPS COME THE
CLERGY WERE SAYING NOT A GOOD
TIME TO BURN DOWN THE CITY.
MAKE YOUR POINT THIS WAY.
MY HOPE IS THEY’LL USE THE TIME
TO GET THEM IN PLACE AND DON’T
BURNED ON THE CITY.
>> Jesse: DO THINK THAT FACT
THAT THE RACIAL DYNAMIC WAS
DIFFERENT, FIVE BLACK OFFICERS,
THE VICTIM WAS BLACK, DOES NOT
CHANGE ANYTHING ON THE GROUND?
>>>> Gillan: I THINK IT’S A GOOD
OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND PEOPLE
COME AT THIS HOUR, THERE IS A
WHOLE LOT MORE ABOUT THIS CASE
IN THIS INCIDENT THAT WE DON’T
KNOW.
IF THERE’S A LOT OF QUESTIONS
OUTSTANDING AND I THINK THE
VIDEO WILL SPEAK TO SOME OF
THOSE WHEN IT COMES OUT IN TWO
HOURS FROM NOW.
WE DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
PROMPTED THE INITIAL IN THE
SECOND PULLOVER BY POLICE
OFFICERS THAT NIGHT AND WE DON’T
KNOW WHAT THE OFFICERS SAID TO
ONE ANOTHER, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT
THEY SAID TO TYREE, WE DON’T
KNOW WHAT HIS LAST WORDS YET.
ALL OF THIS WILL BE HOPEFULLY
ELIMINATED AT LEAST IN PART WHEN
WE GET THE INFORMATION.
I WILL SAY TO BRIAN’S POINT
ABOUT THE ROLLOUT FOR LACK OF A
BETTER WORD OF THE VIDEO, THERE
IS NO GOOD TIME TO DO ANYTHING
LIKE THIS.
IT IS NOTABLE THAT THE WHEELS OF
JUSTICE WERE ALREADY IN THE CASE
TURNING FASTER THAN THEY HAVE IN
PREVIOUS CASES AND THERE’S NOT
BEEN A COVER-UP.
>> Brian: IT LOOKS
OVERWHELMING, I GET IT, BUT
DON’T WE NEED BOTH SIDES?
THESE WEREN’T JUST FRESH OUT OF
THE ACADEMY.
>> Jessica: THEY HAD A
REPUTATION FOR BEING EXTREMELY
AGGRESSIVE.
>> Gillan: WILL GET THE
BODY CAM VIDEO AND THEY’LL HAVE
THEIR DAY IN COURT WITH THE
CASES.
>> Judge Jeanine: ITS STREET
CRIME, WE ARE DEALING WITH A
DIFFERENT BREED OF COP.
THIS IS A COP WHO GRABS GUNS,
DRUGS, THESE ARE ROUGH OR COPS
NOT IN THE SENSE THEY ARE
VIOLATING THE LAW BUT THEY ARE
IN THE FACE OF CRIMINALS EVERY
MINUTE.
>> Jesse: THEY KNOW THE NAMES
OF THE PEOPLE OF THE
