>>> LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AFTER
DEREK CHAUVIN WAS FOUND GUILTY
FOR THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD
THE EX-POLICE OFFICER NOW FACES
NEW FEDERAL CHARGES.
BREAKING NEWS TODAY THAT CHAUVIN
WITH HIS FELLOW FORMER OFFICERS
WERE INDICTED ON CHARGES OF VIE
LATTING FLOYDS CIVIL RIGHTS AND
IN A SEPARATE INDICTMENT HE
FACES TWO COUNTS OF VIOLATING
THE RIGHTS OF A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY
DURING AN ARREST IN 2017 HOLDING
THE CHILD BY THE NECK AND HIT
HIM WITH A FLASHLIGHT TWICE.
THE CHARGES COME AFTER AN
ONGOING INVESTIGATION BY THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND
NOUNSING LAST MONTH THAT THE
MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT
WAS UNDER A PATTERN OR PRACTICE
INVESTIGATION.
I SAW YOUR STATE ABOUT THIS BUT
I THINK IT SORT OF TIES TOGETHER
ALL OF YOUR INTERVIEWS AND
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MEETINGS AND
EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
RIGHT PERSON LEADS THIS JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT.
>> THAT IS WHY VOTING IS SO
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS MY FIRM
BELIEF IF WE DID NOT HAVE A
JUDGE GARLAND AND A NEW JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE
HAPPENED.
LET US NOT FORGET WE HAD A
VIDEOTAPE ON ERIC GARNER AND
COULDNT GET FEDERAL CHARGES FOR
THE VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS
AND VIDEOTAPE HIM SAYING 11
TIMES I CANT BREATHE WHILE
UNDER CHOKEHOLD AND MICHAEL
BROWN IN FERGUSON COULDNT GET
FEDERAL CHARGES.
THIS IS THE FIRST CASE WE HAVE
SEEN OF THIS LEVEL OF VISIBILITY
OF FEDERAL CHARGES.
EVEN AFTER A STATE CONVICTION.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL, A STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO SAYING TO
POLICE THEY WILL BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE TO THE LAW.
WE ARE NOT HAVING AN ATTACK ON
POLICE OR WAR ON POLICE.
WE ARE SAYING THAT THE LAW WILL
BE UPHELD AND IT MUST BE
ENFORCED EVEN AND ESPECIALLY
AGAINST THOSE WE TRUST TO
PROTECT IT SO I THINK THIS IS A
GOOD THING.
I CERTAINLY THINK THAT THE FACT
TO SEE THIS DONE IN THE WEEK
THAT CHAUVIN IS ASKING FOR A NEW
TRIAL IN THE STATE MAKING CLAIMS
THAT THE PRETRIAL PUBLICITY MADE
THE TRIAL UNFAIR AND WILL GET A
NEW TRIAL NOW AND NOW IT WILL BE
TWO TRIALS IN FEDERAL COURT.
>> MATTHEW, BACK TO THE LAST
COMMENT, IT IS AMAZING TO WATCH
THIS YOUNG GARLAND JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT STAKE OUT SUCH
DECISIVE GROUND WITH SUCH
CLARITY ON THE RULE OF LAW AND
REMINDS YOU AGAIN OF HOW MUCH
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE
REPUBLICAN BRAND ABDICATED IN
SERVICE TO DONALD TRUMP.
>> I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE
MORE PHENOMENAL PARTS OF THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS WHAT
GARLAND HAS DONE AND NOT
EMOTIONAL BUT GONE ABOUT THE
BUSINESS TO UPHOLD THE LAW AND
THIS IS WHAT WERE GOING DO DO
AND JUSTICE IS APPLIED ACROSS
AMERICA.
NOT ONLY HAS HE DONE A BETTER
JOB THAN DONALD TRUMP WHO WOULD
NEVER HAVE BROUGHT THIS CASE IF
IN OFFICE BUT A MUCH BETTER JOB
THAN WHAT HAPPENED IN THE OBAMA
EIGHT YEAR JUST THEY SEEM TO
HAVE MORE ABILITY TO PURSUE LIKE
JUSTICE IN THIS.
I AGREE.
THIS IS A GOOD FIRST STEP BUT
ONLY A STEP BECAUSE IF THEY WERE
GOING TO LOOK AT ALL OF THIS
THEYD BE SPENDING 24 HOURS A
DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK IN VARIOUS LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND POLICING
DEPARTMENTS GOING THROUGH THIS
BECAUSE THERES A LOT OF ROT
THROUGHOUT THIS AND I THINK OF
TWO AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT WE
OUGHT TO HAVE AN ACTIVE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT INVOLVED.
IT IS PEOPLE TO LEGALLY CARRY
GUNS IN PROTECTION OF FELLOW
CITIZENS, POLICE OFFICERS, LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND THE MILITARY.
AND WE HAVE TO DO A MUCH BETTER
JOB OF MAKING SURE THE PEOPLE
THAT CARRY THE GUNS ARENT OF A
GROUP WITH DESIGNS ON IT AND
FOLLOWING THE LAW SO LETS SET A
STANDARD AND LETS PURSUE IT BUT
I GIVE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND
GARLAND CREDIT.
