05:33Philonise Floyd, George Floyd's brother, calls for the murder charge against former Officer Derek Chauvin to be changed to 1st-degree murder. He goes on to say President Trump didn't give him "the opportunity to even speak" during their conversation.
Absolutely
Fake news transcript coming out soon
Lol people only want that severe a punishment when they have some emotional justice to gain.
Of all the calls potus makes to civilians, Ill bet none of them go more than 2-3 mins. And, thats not a lot of dialogue. He is expecting people designated under him to handle.
And?
Any accuracy on Derek Chauvin possibly being released?
Interested to get your take on the murder of a black federal security officer by 'protesters', all of this sucks, but if you're going to report, report it all. JusticeForPatrickUnderwood
Funny how the democratic governors don’t seem to care about social distancing anymore. Send in the military to stop the rioting thugs and anarchists. These cowards will run for cover when they’re facing tanks.
The death penalty is never just, nor right. This is not ancient times when you went an eye for an eye.
realDonaldTrump is a racist ass BunkerBitch. I can't believe he didn't even give the family of GeorgeFloyd the time of day... except of course I can, it's par for the course
A whole 2 minutes of trump talking over him...SMDH
First degree murder means you have to prove premeditation which I don’t think they can do! Let’s try and see the big picture and make sure this animal is sent to prison for as long as possible!!
We stand united against racism. We will cast our votes for those who can't, for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland and all those unjustly killed. We vote for change, equality, justice, we vote against evil, we vote against Trump! TrumpResignNow
First degree murder? Funny stuff. If you want him to get off scott free go for it
Sheep will always be sheep.
Sounds like when Trump called the widow of Niger4 SgtLaDavidJohnson and insulted her and said “he knew what he was getting into” as she continued to receive his body parts in separate boxes. Trump is the worst president ever.
Dems tried Spying, then Russia, then obstruction, then Ukraine, then Impeachment, then Quarantine, now riots. They truly are the party of HATE and destruction
All of THE COPS SHOULD BE ARRESTED
Bots bots bots are out today! First degree murder or NoJusticeNoPeace
So, So sad. God Bless you all! I know how you feel. I lost a 30 year old son to police violence. Justice for Mr. Floyd Justicefortroygoode..you might look this. Same situation!
A question for🐘s in the 2020 debate? Who are ave🇺🇸s to🐘s,no fake answers,based off how🐘s treat🇺🇸s&🇺🇸s reputation around the world, with no regard for the law or any kind of human standard? The🐘party should be abolished, because how🐘s think,kills🇺🇸s,& endangers globalsecurity
I must give you a lot of credits; I would not talk to him. You should know where and with whom he stands by now. He does not care about you or us, that was a show. He is an avid hypocrite.
We all know he as fake as the media he always calls out. Trump don't care about anyone but himself. Its time for a Suttle tone to speak to America not a hot tempered angery man who listens to nobody. The country is deeply upset and wanna see the killing stop.
An observation Ive seen from the beginning: most “conversations” with tRump are one-directional. Here’s another example
It’s not the POTUS’ job to console every injustice.
Trump has more important things to do than to talk to someone, who didn't stop his brother from committing crime & doing drugs.
Release the transcript!
Have they spoke about the violence and unrest of the protest. Did they asks people to protest peacefully? Rodney King was man enough and asks people to stop and for everyone to just get along.
Murder 1....…... Bhahahahah!!!!!! You may not get a Murder 3 conviction......and you think this is a Murder 1 case
He really didn't want to talk to him. That was a PR stunt
All five of them must rat in prison !
When Benjamin Crump is your lawyer. Expect this.
Given the County Medical Examiner's report claimed asphyxiation WASN'T the cause of GeorgeFloyd's death...getting a conviction on any charge higher than manslaughter, will be difficult.
Should be locked up for 40 yrs time is the best punishment
Yes, the charge for all the officers should be 1st degree murder. They knew exactly what they were doing. I am sure they had discussed it from time to time. It was calculated and thought out.
They're not going to get a conviction for 1st degree murder even though they should. Hopefully they can pinned 2nd degree and manslaughter on all 4 of them
'Hi, this is President Trump speaking. Are you the brother of the guy who was killed? Did you know I'm the greatest President of all time? I was great at school, the best in my class. Many people say I'm terrific. Amazing huh? Have a nice day!'
All of them. Even the one that went for his taser or mace when citizens wanted to try to help Floyd.
Thats because it can only ever be about him.
How long did the calls from Biden, Obama Minneapolis: Democrat Sheriff Democrat Mayor Democrat Governor Democrat DA Last?
Sounds good to me. Specially since the 'justice system' is dragging. Death penalty will be fair. And fast. No need to debate. The murder and the intention is clear for all to see.
“The death penalty?” Seriously? Are we just letting families of victims decide on the appropriate charge now? The truth is they will be lucky to convict these guys of manslaughter given the causation issues involved with Floyd’s death and what factors actually caused it.
Here we go...
Bounce come on bounce
Your bro George Floyd would be devastated to know you used his life to inspire more riots that causes murder homes destroyed lives destroyed mostly destroyed black people lives good going good memory for your bro right ALLLIVESMATER
How about calling for the riots to stop
Trump is clearly incapable of showing empathy for the suffering. Sad.
Trump was probably like, 'Have you seen my ratings? They're amazing, I can tell you that. Believe me! And were building a wall, much much bigger than the old wall.'
FWIW, listen to today's Opening Arguments on your favorite podcast app. They spell out quite clearly why 3rd degree is the appropriate charge.
I would have not even taken the call. No disrespect to the family
Where is Chauvain Derek Michael
State-sanctioned killing is cool now?
VIOLENCE begets VIOLENCE He should be allowed to put a knee on his neck just like he did to his brother GeorgeFloyd AND LET THE WORLD SEE LET THAT BE A TRUE LESSON IN JUSTICE
maggieNYT They certainly won't get that from Minnesota because there hasn't been a death penalty since 1906. Not sure about the federal statues.
The real story is a few seconds beyond that statement. Listen to 'why' he wants that to happen around 56-58% into the video. I clicked out quick, caught the bar but not the time. I have a flaw (possibly many) but I can agree to his 'why'. Hope to read many more. *No trolling
TrumpHasNoPlan
If Floyd’s brother didn’t speak, it wasn’t a “conversation”. It was a another trump publicity stunt.
It should be against the Law for Donald Trump or any other Political Figure to have a Twitter Account to spread negative comments that could provoke people to break the Law they already have a professional platform to do so and if they use it like that they should be reprimanded
😂😂😂yeah. Ok. 😂😂😂
MarcVegan Oh, I’m sure he loves those calls - talking to a commoner? Probably a responsibility he didn’t think about when he ran for president. 🙄
PhilipRucker Can he speak at the DNC convention?
MSNBC can't wait to air something dirty
PhilipRucker Sounds about right for Nectarine Nero.
Floyd's brother is a Black supremacist.
Charge him with murder 1 and he will walk. Lack of legal peculiarities.murder 2 yes.
maggieNYT These families get so much closer whenever a civil lawsuit is brewing.
PhilipRucker Who actually thought letting Trump make this call would help?
realDonaldTrump TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER TrumpIsARacist
Not surprising.
Msnbc trying to ignite more riots What else is new
Where are the protesters protesting all the innocent people that have been hurt by the THUGS!!!!’
Well the racist TV Ratings Fuhrer is a busy man, with divisive propaganda tweets, golf and what not.
fake news
Your president is taking side and playing game with the death of George F.
He’s just trying to trash the President who had nothing to do with it. It was a nice jester by the President to call.
George Floyd Brother totally correct in his call 1st degree murder charges! That what it was & is! Murder one!
Just wanted to put on record that spoke to family records. Not interested in anything else and probably no empathy.
trump never had any interest in speaking with Floyds Brother. That was a publicity optics for conniving trump.
This is coming from MSNBC, some how I do not believe it. They like to twist things around
I guess the conversation was all about him!!!
Check with an criminal law expert but in most jurisdictions 1st degree murder proviso of prior intent is difficult to prove to all 12 of a jury. To over charge could result in mistrial or full acquittal on legal technicalities
Don't think going to get a murder charge to stick. It's clear from the body camera that Police officers where trying to save Floyd life not kill him. Didn't know Heimlich was, saw someone doing it, believe they murder the person, crushing life out of them. Its the same with Floyd
maggieNYT He was just checking a box....
maggieNYT The video of the murder of Mr. Floyd certainly looked like first degree murder rather than an accident. The police officer was taunting Mr. Floyd while he pressed his knee to his neck and told Mr. Floyd to stand up as Mr. Floyd pleaded for his life.
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM MSNBC! Do you think you can prove that this officer began his day plotting to kill George Floyd? 2nd degree murder is more accurate. Why do you print crap that YOU KNOW is not true?
realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse FLOTUS MELANIATRUMP IvankaTrump Trump didn’t let them speak!! That phone call was just a photo op!! shaunking JoyAnnReid MinneapolisPoliceMurderdHim AmyCooperIsARacist whiteprivilegeisreal
maggieNYT He couldn’t speak because Trump was reading thoughts and prayers that someone else wrote for him. Trump doesn’t do empathy on his own.
WTF you doing on the phone with the president?
Unfortunately Trump didn’t call because s he cared. He called because Biden placed a call earlier. Trump only cares about making sure he gets the African American vote. How selfish of a person not to listen to a family member.
Don't hold your breath, they rather cities burn than dispense true Justice, but Justice delayed is Justice denied and the end all you get is another Pacifier to suck on, this is the same old Movie with different actors.
Charging with homicide, yes. Charging with first degree murder, no. Unless you want the same result as the George Zimmerman trial for killing Trayvon Martin, where the prosecutor stupidly charged him with first degree murder to please the public and lost the case.
The President didn’t have to call you.
First Degree is not needed. Victory is.
PhilipRucker That dumb*ss democrat is clueless as to MN’s abolition of the death penalty
MagdaDavitt77 Why trump would let you speak. He doesn't care what your pain is or how you feel.
It is the perfect storm that has led to the (racial) riots in the US: the corona virus, the economic downturn with 40 million unemployed and a long-term atmosphere in which groups were dispersed by ideological opposites.
If they charge him with 1st degree murder, he will get off. Third degree murder will get him 25 years in prison. But then, he’ll probably go to a Martha Stewart style prison. It won’t be fair but is a step in the right direction.
go away. there's already enough people killed by these rioters.
Why he even bothered to take his call knowing how he is, is beyond me. If he wouldn't have listened to me i would have hung up on him, better yet not accept his call in the first place.
spiderlilies124 At the most I see him getting 2nd degree. They probably charged him with 3rd degree because it's easiest to prove. He deserves worse tho
The autopsy says he didn't kill the man. But as always with fake news and their desire to divide America. Truth means nothing
Disgraceful.
America sucks trump doing awful job... america doesnt want to amemd things they like viooence and looting
In his videos and how it isn't the thing to do he spoke real words if It were me charging this cop I would definitely say watch this and show him how wrong he was4doing what he did he probably didn't even know the bill was counterfeit but the cop didn't even ask where he got it
TrudyRausch Minnesota doesn’t have the death penalty.
I know this is not the first Time nasa lifted off and people are blaming a President either the fact no one stopped killing no one spoke up about that no one spoke up about maybe this is definitely not what George Floyd would have wanted either look at him speak about violence
😂😂😂yeah. Ok😂😂
Will someone explain to them that first degree murder requires prior planning and intent not applicable here. The cops will be brought to justice as they should be. But there is history between the cop and Floyd this isn’t about race it’s about bad blood between two people
Trump used them. That's why he called. And he will use their brother's death, if possible, like he used Ferguson 4 yrs ago.
I AM TRULY SORRY FOR WHAT WAS DONE TO YOUR BROTHER. JUSTICEFORGEORGE
You can try to convict policeman on Murder 1st Degree but worse case, he won't be convicted. Why? Because they'll have to prove that he planned & set out to kill GeorgeFloyd. However, nothing stops them charging & arguing if there's proof. Best bet would be Murder 2nd Degree.
That’s a surprise. The POTUS only masturbates to his own voice.
The world and the American people stand together to fight.
More rioters. That’s all their good at and live for , heathens
Because Trump is the problem! Trump himself represent racism and the rotten side in the USA society! The government in first instance must make sure to make justice to the muerder of George Floyd and all the African Americans in the history of USA! Reform the police! Vote!
Trump only called Philonese so he could feel good about himself. He didn’t listen, because in his mind, it’s all about him, all the time. Other people really don’t exist for him except to glorify him and/or inflate his narcissistic ego. He’s an empty shell, devoid of empathy.
Like usual he blew a golden opportunity.
How long did Biden or Obama Or Minneapolis: Democrat Sheriff Democrat Mayor Democrat Governor Democrat DA Spend with you on the phone?
I wanted to give my beliefs on what are the septicemic issues our society faces and why I as a white guy support BLM from a point of the lesson of history their existence teaches me. It is longer than a single post can make so I did a video..
he certainly had other conversations with dems too.
And... are you also looking for a pay day? When you do, please announce that as well.
If it didn't make Trump money or it's not about him -- He doesn't care. The big bully in charge thinks he is all tough. Trump isn't anything.
This is stupid. Using a phone conversation as a political prop. Smh. So much going on in the world and y’all are talking about the length of a conversation. Liberals. Pathetic
kenjeong 1st degree requires premeditation. 2nd degree murder would be the highest level because of intent. Manslaughter and 2nd degree could still get him life .
Ummmm...😂😂😂😂
why would they agree to meet Trump? someone should have told them to decline the invitation to be used as props. They deserve justice not photo opportunities.
Trump has no real concern except how this helps his re-election campaign. The law? Well, there isn't a capital murder, so death penalty is far from being on the table. That's just legal fact. If you want a legal lynching, it's the wrong place to ask for it.
No death penalty in MN.
Because he doesn’t care he wasn’t going to allow you to speak he didn’t do it for you he did it for publicity so he can say that he spoke to you guys Trump does not care about anyone but himself
Is kind of suspicious how the police in Minesota start firing at protesters without provocation ? who is doing the riots Qanon or undercover cops,white supremacists is hard to know we don't have a trusted AG to conduct an investigation that's the problem that's why the abuses
The charge has to be the most legally appropriate or the cop walks.
He’s afraid of intelligent people, especially when those same people are black. He can’t even spell empathy let along act with just a little decency and respect. Very sorry for your loss😔
Condolences to you and your family. Your brother repeatedly expressed distress, as did people witnessing the abuse of power. Third degree is much less than the justice he deserves.
Do you support Trump?
Good. There not going to be a 'Botham Jean' act on this.... asking for a light charge or sentence and forgiving the murderer. No, we as black folks should not always be expected to go easy on those who harm us and kill us.
Blacks stop marrying white women. Whites bad remember. How come you don’t like your black women?
Probably because your opinion is so stupid.
You were used for a TV ad Bro, you should have said you wanted to meet with someone who gives a shit instead of giving that racist trump your valuable time.
Gas on the fire, courtesy of MSNBC
That was obligatory and the worlds worst attempt at empathy. He should’ve told him he was too busy making funeral arrangements and that he wants to hear nothing from him!
kenjeong
Listen America. ALL lives matter! We, the PEOPLE, need to be UNITED! GOT it?
KNX1070 Absurd
JustAnotherJo4J Of course not. He made a perfunctory, insincere call because not doing so is bad optics.
did trump ask them what network they are with?
Because he don't care.
U don't 1st degree murder. It will then have to show it was premeditated. 3rd degree is the best way to go. Regardless he will do jail time. In a federal jail being treated very well and then released and no one will know when.
Raciste pour Trump
Why ? Because Trump has no empathy or care for life in general
He needs to appeal to his local government first. Then move up the chain if that fails.
Joe Biden probably let him speak and never responded because he fell asleep and forgot where he was.
Sounds just like him. He gets all the attention and really doesn’t give a crap what anyone else has to say. I’m sorry you had to put up with his rude behavior.
ezrateach Floyd's brother is right. The cop kept his knee on Floyd's neck for 3 minutes AFTER he knew Floyd had no pulse and wasn't breathing. It was straight up homicide.
Trump is blaming 'Aunt Eefa' for the riots. Can't be keep hiis Aunt Eefa under control?
That's not how it works. As disgusting as these individuals are they get due process for their crimes. A first degree charged from the prosecution would fail based on the law. Someone like Rev. Al should lower their expectations.
MSNBC, pull your heads out off your or asses. This started as BLM and righteously so what happens to them is wrong. What is now happening is political, and is going to lead to martial law. Do you want Trump to be in complete control of this country through the military? Wake up!
White people are more than fed up with ignorant white people. We outnumber these bigots at least 10-1 & I think it's time we all let them know that they no longer have a race to claim & so call protect. We Do Not Want Them! It's time that we unite like they do, against them!
realDonaldTrump was HIGH as gas
Seriously, did you honestly think that racist baboon that encourages racial separatism in America would give you anything? He’s a disgrace.
I really do feel sorry for the Floyd family. Does he know President Trump expedited the investigation and called on the FBI to also investigate Mr. Floyd's civil rights being violated? Biden has been in the government for over 40 yrs., & didn't do a damn thing.
Agreed ive been saying 1st degree murder,just thsts so hard to prove it was pre meditated in court..we know it was intent+they knew each other..but thetes no death penalty there.. is there?
