1
00:00:09,718 --> 00:00:11,553
Yes, I'm calling.

2
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:14,931
In fact, I don't really know where to start.

3
00:00:16,891 --> 00:00:21,855
My cousin was recently killed
By a Minneapolis police officer.

4
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:27,694
His name is George Perry Floyd.

5
00:00:31,406 --> 00:00:32,991
Let me first explain

6
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,870
My prayers and condolences to you and your family

7
00:00:36,953 --> 00:00:39,998
As we have all witnessed

8
00:00:40,081 --> 00:00:43,793
Through that horrific murder
Which your relative fell victim to.

9
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:46,504
-Raise your hands now.
- I didn't do anything.

10
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:49,549
I need some advice,

11
00:00:49,632 --> 00:00:51,676
It is clear that he was killed.

12
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:57,682
Two police officers crouched over him.

13
00:00:58,266 --> 00:01:00,351
One of them was putting his knee on his neck.

14
00:01:03,605 --> 00:01:06,858
Look at him. He's not responding to anything anymore, dude.

15
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:11,821
He was begging for air
So that he can breathe.

16
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:14,991
How old is he? Do you know?

17
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:19,829
He's 46, and he'll be 47 this year...

18
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,332
Or he would have been 47, rather. I'm sorry.

19
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:26,211
He was an athlete during high school and college.

20
00:01:26,294 --> 00:01:29,339
Yes, he was a superstar in his old days.

21
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:34,302
We will contact the Minneapolis police to notify them

22
00:01:34,385 --> 00:01:37,138
That we will take care of all of you.

23
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:38,139
-Deal?
- Okay.

24
00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:42,227
They will try to show it and photograph it
That he is the worst person in the world.

25
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:46,439
You're not alone, Tera.

26
00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:48,983
Thank you very much.

27
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:07,961
It is described as
“African American Families Emergency Plan.”

"NETFLIX Documentaries"

29
00:02:10,171 --> 00:02:14,092
He had handled the cases of families of men and women
Of black people killed by police.

30
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:18,555
Several multi-million dollar lawsuits.

31
00:02:20,431 --> 00:02:22,976
A familiar name that will represent the family once again.

32
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:27,438
Famous civil rights attorney, Ben Crump.

33
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:40,827
My law firm receives
About 500 calls per day.

34
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,666
People ask me because they want a black lawyer,

35
00:02:46,749 --> 00:02:49,961
They want someone who understands their life experience,

36
00:02:50,044 --> 00:02:52,463
They want who they feel
That they can trust him.

37
00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:58,511
We take on issues of environmental injustice.

38
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:02,432
We handle banking discrimination cases,
and employment issues.

39
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:05,018
We are trying to establish the principle of equal opportunities.

40
00:03:08,605 --> 00:03:13,193
Attorney Ben Crump is a civil lawyer
He represents people in civil cases.”

41
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:16,946
“In order to obtain financial compensation
As a result of the damage or harm that occurred to them.”

42
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:21,326
Below we will review a year in the life of Ben Crump.
Between 2020 and 2021.”

43
00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:25,288
“This is a small number of the cases he handles.”

"George Floyd's funeral procession"

45
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:54,776
I have been a trial lawyer for 25 years.

46
00:03:57,111 --> 00:04:00,698
Everything in my career

47
00:04:01,824 --> 00:04:04,327
It led me to the case of George Floyd...

48
00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:11,584
It is one of the influential issues
In the field of civil rights.

49
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:13,461
"Requiem for the Soul of George Perry Floyd"

50
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:27,016
These charges were brought against the policeman.

51
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,601
While the others were arrested.

52
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:31,562
Is the family satisfied now? What can we look forward to?

53
00:04:31,646 --> 00:04:35,733
The family felt relieved about the arrests,
But she wants a conviction.

54
00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:38,778
We cannot get excited just because they were arrested.

55
00:04:38,861 --> 00:04:40,363
We have lived through this situation before.

56
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:52,542

My brother, Benjamin Crump.
How are you feeling today, Brother Crump?

76
00:05:49,474 --> 00:05:51,059
I saw audiences from diverse backgrounds.

77
00:05:51,142 --> 00:05:56,356
That meant we weren't looking
To George Floyd as just a black man,

78
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,149
But also as a human being,

79
00:05:58,232 --> 00:06:00,943
This is something these policemen did not do

80
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:04,405
When someone put their knee on his neck
For nine minutes,

81
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,616
While he kept calling and saying to them:
“I can't breathe.”

82
00:06:07,617 --> 00:06:10,161
This was a documentation of his death.

83
00:06:10,244 --> 00:06:13,122
He literally said at the end:
"I'm done now."

84
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:20,338
I had America's full attention.

85
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:27,845
We couldn't waste that moment
In order to contribute to moving America forward.

86
00:06:27,929 --> 00:06:29,972
That policeman's knee on his neck,

87
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:33,184
While he was saying: “I can’t breathe,”
While he was calling his mother.

88
00:06:41,984 --> 00:06:45,696
"Tallahassee, Florida - Ben's hometown."

89
00:06:55,915 --> 00:07:00,420
- How many chairs do we have?
-We have about four.

90
00:07:01,045 --> 00:07:03,047
Well, I'm told we have four there already.

91
00:07:04,298 --> 00:07:06,134
We need to take these last two chairs.

92
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:12,932
...numbers 15 and 16,
Please head to the long jump area.

93
00:07:15,184 --> 00:07:20,106
Boys, numbers 15 and 16,
Please head to the long jump area.

94
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:23,234
Can we have some juice, Dad?

95
00:07:29,365 --> 00:07:30,491
Do you want some ice?

96
00:07:35,037 --> 00:07:38,541
I have been married to my wife, Jeanette, for 22 years.

97
00:07:39,917 --> 00:07:41,294
We met in college.

98
00:07:42,795 --> 00:07:44,964
We have one daughter named Brooklyn.

99
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:52,138
We have a large, very close-knit southern family.

100
00:07:53,097 --> 00:07:55,016
My mother lives on the same street as me.

101
00:07:55,099 --> 00:07:57,268
My brothers live nearby as well.

102
00:08:05,276 --> 00:08:07,111
It was 15 shots.

103
00:08:07,195 --> 00:08:10,907
And people are now rioting.
It is happening at this moment.

104
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:14,619
Do you know if they fired?
On his back? Where did they shoot him?

105
00:08:15,786 --> 00:08:17,705
I don't know if the injuries are in his back.

106
00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:21,209
It happened an hour or two ago at most...

107
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:23,794
I'll handle it.
Detroit police shoot. Okay.

108
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:26,005
This never stops.

109
00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:31,969

...Any federal allegations against the officer, contact us

112
00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:41,729
On whether we are willing to participate

113
00:08:41,812 --> 00:08:45,691
Why don't we wait until Monday?
Until we know where the press conference will be held

114
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:47,652
The place where we will stay and…

115
00:08:47,735 --> 00:08:50,738
-We will have the judge sign the order then.
- Sure.

116
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:54,784
I suggest we head out
In front of the federal court building

117
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:57,203
We hold the press conference there.

118
00:08:57,286 --> 00:09:00,122
Unless you think there's a better place.

119
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:04,043
- That's good.
-I think it's a good plan. Yes.

120
00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:11,092
Hey, Attorney Crump is here.
It will be ready in a minute.

121
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:12,802
Okay.

122
00:09:13,594 --> 00:09:14,470
This or this?

123
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:17,306
Will you accompany me?

124
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:20,017
- Yes. Are you ready now?
- I'm ready.

125
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:22,228
- Okay.
- This!

126
00:09:23,437 --> 00:09:25,982
-This jacket.
- What jacket?

127
00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:45,876
For hundreds of years,
Police kill black people,

128
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,339
She was not subjected to any financial accountability or anything like that.

129
00:09:51,841 --> 00:09:56,178
I want to make the cost financial
Unbearable for them

130
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:59,932
Regarding their continued killing of black people unjustly.

131
00:10:16,324 --> 00:10:20,161

Responded to a non-emergency police report
Early Tuesday morning.

138
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:42,016
He can be seen holding a mobile phone with his left hand.

139
00:10:42,099 --> 00:10:44,268
His right hand was not visible.

140
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:51,150
There are many cases recorded on video now,

141
00:10:52,026 --> 00:10:56,197
But if not there
Who can coordinate everything?

142
00:10:56,864 --> 00:11:02,161
The issue will become one of people's issues
Their number ranges between 1,200 and 1,300

143
00:11:02,244 --> 00:11:07,083
Who are killed every year by the police
In America without anyone remembering their names,

144
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:08,876
Except for their families.

145
00:11:21,931 --> 00:11:24,350
- Yes.
-Thank you for taking over my father's case.

146
00:11:24,433 --> 00:11:26,435
- I appreciate that.
- No need to thank.

147
00:11:28,437 --> 00:11:30,856
Everyone says your brother was a wonderful man.

148
00:11:30,940 --> 00:11:34,568
- I did not hear any negative comments about him.
- You wouldn't have heard.

149
00:11:34,652 --> 00:11:38,989
My father was the link between everyone.

150
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:43,661
He was the liveliest person in the place
Of everyone.

151
00:11:43,744 --> 00:11:48,165
And this is what I hear from all of you,

152
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:53,379
You say he was the person
Which everyone came to to raise their morale.

153
00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:59,677
We want charges brought against that policeman
And to be arrested.

154
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,011
If you all will excuse me,

155
00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:04,640
I will try to arrange interviews for all of you.
This is first.

156
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:06,809
It's going to be emotional, Carissa.

157
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:10,312
And if you reach a point where you need...
Take a break, just let us know.

158
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:11,814
We will defend your father,

159
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:14,984
Because he would do the same for you
As you told me.

160
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:18,988
You have to do enough interviews
So people can see Andre Hill through her,

161
00:12:19,071 --> 00:12:23,409
The matter is imprinted on the consciousness of American society.

162
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:28,205
We'll talk more about the funeral,
Regarding determining the church from which you will start,

163
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:31,542
And about the clothes he will wear during it
etc.

164
00:12:32,209 --> 00:12:34,503
- I actually know what I want to wear.
- Okay.

165
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,672
The same suit he wore to Shauna's wedding.

166
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:39,800
It was the first suit he bought.
She took it so we could choose her.

167
00:12:39,884 --> 00:12:43,429
- He was very happy. I remember his smile.
- He was very...

168
00:12:43,512 --> 00:12:45,222
I want him to wear that suit,

169
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:49,226
Because she meant a lot to him
For many different reasons.

170
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:51,479
He was very excited. Yes.

171
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:55,524
- He walked you down the church aisle.
-He actually walked me down the church aisle.

172
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:57,359
His close relationships with people...

173
00:12:57,443 --> 00:12:59,820
It doesn't matter whether
He recognized you five minutes ago,

174
00:12:59,904 --> 00:13:02,740
Or whether you've known him for 22 years like me.

175
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:04,950
You knew him. You were his best friend.

176
00:13:05,034 --> 00:13:08,746
We met through a mutual friend,
There was chemistry between us from day one.

177
00:13:08,829 --> 00:13:10,831
We started playing chess that day.

178
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:12,833
- Did you two play chess?
- Yes.

179
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:16,045
Mention that please.
They do not think that blacks play chess.

180
00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:18,297
- He loved chess.
-Mention that, please.

181
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:20,257
One moment.

182
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:22,384
The other thing is that he loved life.

183
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:27,139
Someone should mention that he loved life,
He loved people.

184
00:13:27,223 --> 00:13:29,683
He was someone who inspired others.

185
00:13:30,267 --> 00:13:32,228
They need to feel it, folks.

186
00:13:33,187 --> 00:13:37,358
I don't want you to hold back
About showing your justified anger.

187
00:13:38,108 --> 00:13:42,863
If you want justice,
You must bring out what is in your hearts.

188
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,702
- He could have spent Christmas with us.
- Yes.

189
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:50,996
Instead, he became a lifeless corpse.

190
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:54,792
While the policeman who shot him returned
To his home and family.

191
00:13:54,875 --> 00:13:55,709
Yes.

192
00:13:57,753 --> 00:13:58,754
That's good.

193
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:01,298
- Take your time, Shauna.
- Take your time.

194
00:14:10,724 --> 00:14:13,727
There are not many things
We can do it as private lawyers.

195
00:14:13,811 --> 00:14:18,107
We do not have the authority to arrest anyone.

196
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:21,819
We do not have the authority to bring charges
Committing a crime to someone.

197
00:14:21,902 --> 00:14:23,445
The only thing I can do

198
00:14:24,154 --> 00:14:29,243
It is to have juries award financial compensation

199
00:14:29,326 --> 00:14:34,707
As one of the standards of responsibility,
As one of the standards of justice.

200
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:46,010
What sticks most in my memory

201
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:50,514
From my meeting with my personal hero, Thurgood Marshall.

202
00:14:50,598 --> 00:14:55,477
It is that he did not tell us aspiring lawyers
Black-skinned people

203
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:59,023
To go to the courtrooms
Let's argue about what is legal.

204
00:14:59,648 --> 00:15:04,612
Rather, he told us: “Go to the courtrooms
And they always argued about what was right.”

205
00:15:27,801 --> 00:15:31,472
I know what this thing is.
I know exactly what this thing is.

206
00:15:33,974 --> 00:15:38,896
My law partner, Darrell Parks, and I declined.
All job offers made to us

207
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:40,940
When we graduated from law school,

208
00:15:41,023 --> 00:15:43,025
Because we wanted to practice law

209
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:46,820
that will help our community,
Which would help black people.

210
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:52,868
We thought no one would pay us
versus the issues we wanted to take on,

211
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:55,037
So we had to take the initiative into our own hands.

212
00:15:56,246 --> 00:15:59,583
We started out as lawyers for rent.

213
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:02,670
Meaning we would do anything
would contribute to paying the rent,

214
00:16:03,545 --> 00:16:05,589
This is what we were doing.

215
00:16:06,173 --> 00:16:08,467
The issues that generated the most money

216
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:12,763
It was injury cases and manslaughter cases.

217
00:16:12,846 --> 00:16:14,139
And we became very good at it.

218
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:19,520
But we started taking it over so we could finance it
civil rights issues,

219
00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:21,897
We started to have a reputation that said:

220
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:26,110
They are ready to confront
All the powers and forces that exist.

221
00:16:27,569 --> 00:16:31,281
"Case: (George Floyd)"

222
00:16:31,365 --> 00:16:32,199
"(Minnesota)"

223
00:16:32,282 --> 00:16:34,743
We raised today

224
00:16:35,285 --> 00:16:40,249
A federal civil rights and wrongful death case

225
00:16:40,916 --> 00:16:45,462
On behalf of the family of George Floyd
And all his children.

226
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:49,967
This is the turning point.

227
00:16:51,051 --> 00:16:52,761
This is the turning point

228
00:16:53,595 --> 00:16:55,472
Regarding policing in America.

229
00:16:55,556 --> 00:16:57,808
This is an unprecedented case,

230
00:16:58,434 --> 00:17:02,604
Through this lawsuit,
I want to set a precedent

231
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:05,315
make it financially prohibitive,

232
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:10,988
So that the police refrain
About killing marginalized people and black people

233
00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:12,573
In the future inside America.

234
00:17:13,741 --> 00:17:16,118
Isn't there a specific number you're trying to achieve?

235
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:21,415
We seek to ensure justice
By the family of George Floyd.

236
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:24,418
- Thank you, Mr. Crump.
- Thank you, Paul.

237
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:29,923
That's good.
I think we've accomplished a lot, haven't we?

238
00:17:30,007 --> 00:17:32,551
- That was very emotional, dude.
- That was a good speech.

239
00:17:40,809 --> 00:17:46,690
I fully understand
We have two judicial systems in America,

240
00:17:46,774 --> 00:17:48,984
One for black America,
The other is for white “America.”

241
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:51,403
But when you keep trying to raise the issue

242
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:54,990
Through the media and before the court of public opinion,

243
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:58,702
Then you might have a chance to deliver it
To the actual court.

244
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:02,748
This is not guaranteed at all.
Just ask Eric Garner's family.

245
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:08,170
What happened was filmed and so on,
But no trial was even held.

246
00:18:11,673 --> 00:18:13,175
I am a black man in America.

247
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:16,970
And as a black man, one always has to
Be careful with the media.

248
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:20,808
He has to try hard to think carefully
In every word before he says it.

249
00:18:21,725 --> 00:18:25,896
He can look at the media
As an adversary and enemy,

250
00:18:25,979 --> 00:18:30,234
Or he could try to make it
strategically as an ally.

251
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:35,489
I have ten minutes.
You called at the right time.

252
00:18:35,572 --> 00:18:36,782
I'll have to go then.

253
00:18:39,451 --> 00:18:45,457
We went into it both worlds
If the case goes to court,

254
00:18:45,541 --> 00:18:48,836
will be considered in court,
Because we made it a case to be heard in court.

255
00:18:48,919 --> 00:18:50,337
"2012 - Previous Case: (Trayvon Martin)"

256
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,465
You all heard what Sybrina said.
Via CNN:

257
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:56,677
Trayvon Martin is not just my son.

258
00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:59,096
Rather, he is the son of everyone.

259
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,184
And if this could happen to my son,
"It can happen to your children."

260
00:19:05,227 --> 00:19:10,899
Before the Trayvon case,
America didn't care when black people were killed.

261
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,443
And we don't know
Whether or not George Zimmerman is a racist,

262
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:16,738
But we are confident that the basis of his suspicion
By "Trayvon Martin" he was biracial.

263
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:19,825
One of the things I focused on

264
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:24,705
He was keen to remind people
That Trayvon Martin was a child.

265
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:26,206
Although he was not armed,

266
00:19:26,290 --> 00:19:29,918
And he was carrying a bag of Skittles.
And a bottle of Arizona iced tea.

267
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:33,130
Zimmerman was carrying a 9 millimeter handgun.

268
00:19:33,213 --> 00:19:38,719
We thought it was disgraceful that the volunteer neighborhood watchman
He was carrying a gun,

269
00:19:38,802 --> 00:19:41,430
While Trayvon Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles,

270
00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:44,099
The police did not arrest the killer.

271
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,603
Trayvon committed no crime.

272
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,813
He was heading home from the grocery store.

273
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:52,649
He was chatting
With his high school friend.

274
00:19:54,610 --> 00:19:56,528
It became very personal for me.

275
00:19:57,404 --> 00:20:00,741
It's something I see I will never get over.

276
00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:09,416
You prepared me for the Trayvon Martin case.
For the George Floyd case.

277
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:12,920
"(Virginia)"

278
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:17,674
The question is: Why don't any of your leaders want to show up?

279
00:20:19,343 --> 00:20:23,305
Anyone can say controversial things
In closed meetings.

280
00:20:24,264 --> 00:20:26,642
But when he appears in public,

281
00:20:26,725 --> 00:20:30,520
It becomes what Attorney Crump is dealing with.
It's death threats.

282
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:33,440
You are challenging some of the most powerful people in this country.

283
00:20:33,523 --> 00:20:35,108
(Teslin Figaro)
Public policy advisor

284
00:20:35,192 --> 00:20:37,569
That's why you don't see all the civil rights lawyers
In the first grades.

285
00:20:37,653 --> 00:20:39,863
They find no problem
In concluding deals behind the scenes.

286
00:20:39,947 --> 00:20:43,575
But only a few are willing to come here
Let their names be associated with this matter.

287
00:20:43,659 --> 00:20:47,204
My name is Tezlin Figaro. And I remember my name with my mouth.

288
00:20:47,287 --> 00:20:49,998
I don't hide behind social media.

289
00:20:50,499 --> 00:20:54,753
Some of you prefer to use nouns.
But I use my full official name.

290
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:58,090
This means that I am ready to die
For the sake of the case.

291
00:20:58,173 --> 00:21:01,635
Do you want to know why families call?
Always with Attorney Crump?

292
00:21:01,718 --> 00:21:05,097
That's because your local leaders
They don't answer their calls.

293
00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:08,517
Let us call a spade a spade. Ben wouldn't say that.

294
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,728
He's like Martin, and I'm like Malcolm.
I came to tell you the truth as it is.

295
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:14,147
They don't answer calls,

296
00:21:14,231 --> 00:21:16,692
Because they don't want excitement
Your police chief got angry.

297
00:21:16,775 --> 00:21:19,903
They don't answer it,
Because they don't want to anger the mayor.

298
00:21:19,987 --> 00:21:22,739
Because they don't want to cause anger
District Attorney.

299
00:21:24,491 --> 00:21:29,788
The man I'm talking about
He handled the cases of more than 200 families.

300
00:21:29,871 --> 00:21:32,416
-Names you've never heard of before.
-Thank you.

301
00:21:32,916 --> 00:21:34,584
And other names you have heard of,

302
00:21:34,668 --> 00:21:37,462
Like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

303
00:21:37,546 --> 00:21:40,048
Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin

304
00:21:41,216 --> 00:21:42,634
And Mike Brown.

305
00:21:42,718 --> 00:21:43,969
The list goes on.

306
00:21:44,052 --> 00:21:47,055
I would really like to give this man a bouquet of flowers
While he is still alive,

307
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:50,017
Because we wait too much
Until people die

308
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:52,144
Before we appreciate and praise them.

309
00:21:53,437 --> 00:21:55,272
I ask you to welcome me

310
00:21:56,189 --> 00:21:58,984
The judicial counsel for blacks in America,

311
00:21:59,067 --> 00:22:01,903
Attorney Benjamin Crump.

312
00:22:09,286 --> 00:22:11,371
Symbols are important.

313
00:22:12,122 --> 00:22:14,124
Pictures are important.

314
00:22:14,207 --> 00:22:18,462
It is very important for history

315
00:22:18,545 --> 00:22:22,799
To display images that unite people

316
00:22:22,883 --> 00:22:28,847
People from multiple cultures
Multiple races and multiple geographical origins,

317
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:34,603
It's the direct opposite of that statue over there,

318
00:22:35,854 --> 00:22:38,398
Which represents
General of the Confederate States of America.

319
00:22:39,066 --> 00:22:45,280
This image is an insult to the Declaration of Independence.

320
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:48,742
"Screw these statues!"

321
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:53,914
"George Floyd's family"

322
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,666
Guys, I was sure
That tonight will be special,

323
00:22:57,584 --> 00:23:02,422
But when Reverend Tez came...
She delivered her moving speech, similar to the sermons of priests...

324
00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:07,511
Well done!

325
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:14,351
They are with us,
This is how we will make some change in the world.

326
00:23:14,434 --> 00:23:16,603
We have to make everyone say:

327
00:23:16,686 --> 00:23:19,147
“Our brother George's life matters.

328
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,690
And Breonna and everyone."

329
00:23:22,442 --> 00:23:28,115
It's honest, and people want what's honest.
Don't try to pretend to be something you are not.

330
00:23:28,198 --> 00:23:32,202
Always wanting to improve and develop,
But never forget your honesty and authenticity.

331
00:23:32,285 --> 00:23:34,955
- Don't ever lose that.
- I got you. Thank you.

332
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:44,005
This unites the family.

333
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:47,217
There is a lot of media.
One shares one's life with the public.

334
00:23:48,927 --> 00:23:50,762
"Brandon Williams - George Floyd's nephew."

335
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:52,973
But there are days when one just wants to be sad.

336
00:23:57,018 --> 00:23:59,688
Honestly,
The past year of my life has been hell.

337
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,609
It hurts me to see my uncle like that.

338
00:24:07,154 --> 00:24:08,405
While I was growing up,

339
00:24:09,573 --> 00:24:12,242
As I watched him go to college
And he did what he used to do,

340
00:24:12,325 --> 00:24:14,870
I was so impressed
Because I wanted to follow in his footsteps.

341
00:24:14,953 --> 00:24:17,289
We had a basketball court at home.

342
00:24:17,372 --> 00:24:19,291
We played almost every day.

343
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:22,544
I spent every day with him at home.

344
00:24:22,627 --> 00:24:25,005
We had a big family,
But our house wasn't big.

345
00:24:25,088 --> 00:24:27,132
So you can imagine how close we are.

346
00:24:28,758 --> 00:24:30,427
We had a lot of true love.

347
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:36,016
That video is hard to watch
And you know which one he really was.

348
00:24:36,099 --> 00:24:38,727
He didn't deserve it. No one deserves that.

349
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:41,480
A fake $20 banknote!

350
00:24:42,522 --> 00:24:44,858
Write him a violation, or...

351
00:24:44,941 --> 00:24:47,486
How could this work?
Until a man loses his life?

352
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:50,906
This doesn't make sense. $20!

353
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:09,299
You saw him speaking into a microphone

354
00:25:09,382 --> 00:25:12,177
After every major race-related tragedy.

355
00:25:12,260 --> 00:25:14,221
You heard his lies.

356
00:25:14,304 --> 00:25:18,767
It might be Ben Crump.
The most destructive force in America.

357
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:20,936
Professor of deception.

358
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:23,980
He is the person who became people
They chant his lies in the streets.

359
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:27,442
Ben Crump tries to fire up the crowd.

360
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:30,820
He exploits the race card for gain,
And I'm tired of it.

361
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:34,658
They exploit dead black people on a daily basis
In order to make the most money.

362
00:25:34,741 --> 00:25:36,368
On the other side of this fence,

363
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:38,870
While this devastation was spreading across the country,

364
00:25:38,954 --> 00:25:41,540
Ben Crump was making a fortune.

365
00:25:44,251 --> 00:25:49,798
Not everyone will agree with what we do,
And that's okay.

366
00:25:51,258 --> 00:25:53,760
I would never say I have all the answers.

367
00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:58,056
But what does one have to do?

368
00:25:58,139 --> 00:26:02,269
It is trying not to stand still.

369
00:26:02,978 --> 00:26:05,564
He has to get involved in what's happening and do something.

370
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:17,951
I received a death threat last week.

371
00:26:19,286 --> 00:26:21,788
Because there are many people

372
00:26:21,871 --> 00:26:24,374
They don't want to see people
Of black skin

373
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:26,209
They achieve successes and receive praise.

374
00:26:26,293 --> 00:26:28,003
We have to stay where we are.

375
00:26:30,547 --> 00:26:35,218
My staff receives comments
Through social media.

376
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:39,848
Such as: “If you come to my town
Bringing with you this Black Lives Matter issue,

377
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:43,893
I will kill you." And other things like this.

378
00:26:43,977 --> 00:26:48,523
We are reporting the matter to the FBI
And we continue our work.

379
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:51,401
We may not really like it
They know the location of each of us,

380
00:26:51,484 --> 00:26:54,029
But everyone knows where we each are.

381
00:26:59,784 --> 00:27:01,328
Fear overwhelms me sometimes.

382
00:27:01,411 --> 00:27:02,370
Silky Slim, Ben's bodyguard and private detective.

383
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:06,291
Last week,
I heard a strange sound inside the room.

384
00:27:06,374 --> 00:27:09,836
I thought to myself: “Oh nice!”
I ran into the room, and he was talking on the phone.

385
00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:12,797
I said to him: “Oh my God! You don’t know
How much you scared me.”

386
00:27:12,881 --> 00:27:14,132
So I'm always afraid.

387
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:18,178
- Hello, Dad.
- Hello, Brooklyn Zeta Crump.

388
00:27:18,261 --> 00:27:19,888
I found my old phone.

389
00:27:21,848 --> 00:27:24,309
Cute little kids phone.

390
00:27:24,392 --> 00:27:26,394
The phone you were supposed to be holding now.

391
00:27:28,146 --> 00:27:31,274
Oh my God! I must be very lucky.

392
00:27:31,941 --> 00:27:34,736
We're on our way to her dance class.

393
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:36,529
Okay.

394
00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:39,491
Listen, Ben, you remember Harvey Brown?

395
00:27:39,574 --> 00:27:40,659
From my town?

396
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:43,745
Yes, ma'am.

397
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:45,830
He has a specific case.

398
00:27:45,914 --> 00:27:46,915
Dr. Jeanette Crump, Ben's wife.

399
00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:49,417
He wanted to talk to you about it.

400
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:52,337
So I will send you his phone number.

401
00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:54,881
When you have time,
Can you contact him?

402
00:27:54,964 --> 00:27:57,550
- Yes, ma'am. I will call him.
- Okay.

403
00:27:57,634 --> 00:27:58,927
Okay. Are you better off?

404
00:28:00,095 --> 00:28:01,721
Yes.

405
00:28:02,931 --> 00:28:06,976
Okay, honey. We have a lot of work.
We work on several things at once.

406
00:28:08,269 --> 00:28:10,647
-I love you.
-And I love you.

407
00:28:13,441 --> 00:28:15,735
This is a Silky mobile phone.

408
00:28:15,819 --> 00:28:16,820
Hello!

409
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:22,450
- Okay, honey, I love you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye. I love you

410
00:28:55,108 --> 00:28:59,362
Born in North Carolina
For a family headed by a single mother.

411
00:29:00,864 --> 00:29:04,576
My grandmother was the matriarch of our family.

412
00:29:06,494 --> 00:29:08,580
When my mother went to work,

413
00:29:09,247 --> 00:29:12,041
My grandmother was taking care of me

414
00:29:12,125 --> 00:29:17,088
With all my brothers
And my cousins, my cousins, and so on.

415
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,886
I think my grandmother was like our ancestors,

416
00:29:23,386 --> 00:29:27,515
Our ancestors were dependent
On their black imagination.

417
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,603
They have never seen our people prosper.

418
00:29:32,312 --> 00:29:37,275
After permission of the court justice.
I'm Attorney Benjamin Crump. My client…

419
00:29:37,358 --> 00:29:39,194
Every time I entered the courtroom,

420
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:42,447
I tried to think things through
Which my grandmother taught me.

421
00:29:42,530 --> 00:29:46,826
“Whenever you speak, keep your head up
And look into the eyes of your listener.

422
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:49,913
Never lower your head.”

423
00:29:52,081 --> 00:29:55,543
We saw a lot of our family members

424
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:58,546
They are involved in illegal matters
And they go to prison.

425
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:00,131
And she was saying:

426
00:30:00,715 --> 00:30:04,260
"Promise me you won't do these things,

427
00:30:04,344 --> 00:30:08,181
Because I want one of our family members
To comply with the law.”

428
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:09,682
And she was saying:

429
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:12,977
“Darling, I know it's not fair.

430
00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:15,730
But the rise or decline of this family

431
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:18,775
"It will be on you."

432
00:30:18,858 --> 00:30:21,820
You talk about pressure.

433
00:30:21,903 --> 00:30:25,740
I would answer her: “I will do my best, Grandma.

434
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:27,283
"I will do my best."

435
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:32,372
My grandmother got to see me graduate from law school.

436
00:30:34,624 --> 00:30:36,501
Grandma, I'm trying to be

437
00:30:36,584 --> 00:30:40,046
In compliance with the law.

438
00:30:57,772 --> 00:31:00,692
(Lumberton, North Carolina)

439
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:10,410
Guess where I am now mama.

440
00:31:10,493 --> 00:31:14,289
- Where?
- I'm at 107 Spruce Street.

441
00:31:15,456 --> 00:31:18,751
Are you at Turner Terrace?

442
00:31:18,835 --> 00:31:23,131
I'm at Turner Terrace,
I show them where I grew up.

443
00:31:23,965 --> 00:31:28,261
I have many memories of running
Up and down these stairs,

444
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:33,224
And playing American football on the field.

445
00:31:35,059 --> 00:31:37,395
I'm happy to be back in my old neighborhood.

446
00:31:38,396 --> 00:31:39,480
Do you remember me, buddy?

447
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:41,566
- I'm trying it. Who are you?
- "Mike."

448
00:31:42,650 --> 00:31:44,694
- "Mike Paul."
- How are you, Mike?

449
00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:48,072
-Are you okay?
- Nice to meet you, buddy.

450
00:31:48,156 --> 00:31:51,659
- I'm fine, dude. How are you?
- I'm in good shape.

451
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:55,246
- How is your family?
- Everyone's fine, dude.

452
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:59,125
-I'm happy to see you. Proud to see you.
- I see you too, buddy. Really.

453
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:02,211
I see you on TV, I was checking on you.

454
00:32:02,712 --> 00:32:05,590
- Keep praying for us.
- I'll do it for us.

455
00:32:05,673 --> 00:32:07,300
-I love you.
-And I love you.

456
00:32:07,383 --> 00:32:10,386
Do you remember we were playing?
American football there?

457
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:12,555
- Okay, my cousin.
- Take care, my cousin.

458
00:32:13,514 --> 00:32:15,808
All my family members remember it.

459
00:32:15,892 --> 00:32:18,645
But they don't talk about it much.

460
00:32:18,728 --> 00:32:24,734
I mean here how the police were dealing
With black people living in housing projects.

461
00:32:24,817 --> 00:32:27,820
It was like a daily reminder

462
00:32:28,821 --> 00:32:31,074
That you should stay where you are.

463
00:32:32,241 --> 00:32:34,869
Watch out, man! Get on your knees!

464
00:32:36,579 --> 00:32:41,000
Don't turn around. Put your hands behind your head!

465
00:32:42,126 --> 00:32:45,463
I beg you, God, don't let her die.

466
00:32:48,132 --> 00:32:51,552
"The Breonna Taylor case."

467
00:32:52,136 --> 00:32:56,474
Did you hear any of them introduce themselves?
That he is from the police?

468
00:32:56,557 --> 00:32:58,142
No, no one identified themselves.

469
00:33:03,022 --> 00:33:03,856
"pilot trial"

470
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:07,360
What was the reason for breaking into her door?

471
00:33:10,154 --> 00:33:12,657
Police, you can't break into my house.

472
00:33:14,450 --> 00:33:16,703
Especially when I don't know who you are,

473
00:33:17,328 --> 00:33:19,414
And in the early morning hours.

474
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:21,624
They don't do that to everyone's homes.

475
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,211
They only do it in the homes of some citizens.

476
00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:29,048
When you're working on a high-level case,

477
00:33:29,132 --> 00:33:32,301
And you know there's a lot at stake,

478
00:33:32,885 --> 00:33:37,098
Most of the time, as trial lawyers, we
To conduct experimental trials.

479
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:43,229
There is still confusion
Regarding whether they have identified themselves.

480
00:33:43,813 --> 00:33:46,441
They could have operated one camera

481
00:33:46,524 --> 00:33:49,986
To prove the matter and eliminate doubt with certainty,
But they didn't do that.

482
00:33:51,988 --> 00:33:54,866
I have to change this. I like to use the word "lie."

483
00:33:54,949 --> 00:33:57,201
Lying and covering up. What happened?

484
00:33:57,285 --> 00:34:01,914
Ignoring years of police raids
Without revealing their identity

485
00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:04,417
In violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

486
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:09,338
It cannot be known
Which would change someone's mind.

487
00:34:09,422 --> 00:34:12,675
A split jury decision.
We have arrest warrants...

488
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:17,305
We use the information we obtain
Through experimental trials

489
00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:19,140
To prepare our strategy

490
00:34:19,223 --> 00:34:22,602
Our opening arguments and our closing arguments.

491
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:37,075
This shows…

492
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:42,872
The mutilation that Breonna's body was subjected to.

493
00:34:42,955 --> 00:34:44,749
And the places where they were struck.

494
00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:50,088
A blow to her upper chest.

495
00:34:51,214 --> 00:34:53,883
A blow to the abdomen.

496
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,219
Her arm and leg

497
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,722
Her back, shoulder, and buttocks.

498
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:00,640
Remember,

499
00:35:02,183 --> 00:35:04,185
She was lying on her stomach at the end.

500
00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:11,192
Just imagine what Breonna was going through.

501
00:35:11,275 --> 00:35:14,445
While she was lying on the floor in the hallway.

502
00:35:15,279 --> 00:35:17,198
The thoughts that were running through her mind,

503
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:21,119
Related to her mother and little sister

504
00:35:21,911 --> 00:35:23,287
and her friends,

505
00:35:24,038 --> 00:35:25,289
Thoughts about her life,

506
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:29,919
Related to her future dreams.

507
00:35:32,547 --> 00:35:33,673
Breonna was...

508
00:35:34,590 --> 00:35:36,259
Alone in that hallway.

509
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:44,642
Breonna's mother arrived at the scene
At 1:10 AM.

510
00:35:45,643 --> 00:35:51,315
She was desperately trying to get answers
about what was going on,

511
00:35:51,399 --> 00:35:53,860
So they sent her to the hospital,

512
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:57,572
Although cameras are installed on police officers

513
00:35:57,655 --> 00:36:01,033
It showed Breonna lying in the hallway,

514
00:36:02,326 --> 00:36:03,202
She passed away.

515
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:08,082
She remained in the hospital for more than two hours,

516
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:10,334
She asks everyone who is willing to listen:

517
00:36:10,918 --> 00:36:13,254
"Can you tell me where Breonna Taylor is?"

518
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:15,423
"Can you tell me my daughter's room number?"

519
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:18,134
"Can you tell me anything about Breonna Taylor?"

520
00:36:18,217 --> 00:36:20,136
"Is there a girl named Breonna Taylor here?"

521
00:36:20,219 --> 00:36:21,762
"Where's Breonna Taylor?"

522
00:36:21,846 --> 00:36:24,390
For more than two hours, this woman was begging.

523
00:36:37,278 --> 00:36:39,363
Her name was Breonna Taylor,

524
00:36:39,947 --> 00:36:41,073
Her life was important.

525
00:36:59,717 --> 00:37:00,551
Hello.

526
00:37:01,093 --> 00:37:03,054
- Hello.
- Hello, I don't...

527
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:08,226
Okay. I'm trying to see.
I'm outdoors on the side of a road.

528
00:37:08,309 --> 00:37:09,227
Oh my God!

529
00:37:09,310 --> 00:37:11,270
Okay. I can't see, so...

530
00:37:11,354 --> 00:37:15,316
The picture…
Can you adjust the screen position or is it fixed?

531
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,361
I should... I can try to modify it,

532
00:37:18,444 --> 00:37:23,282
But I put the computer down
On the hood of a rental car.

533
00:37:24,450 --> 00:37:27,286
It might be better inside the car,
Because it's very bright here.

534
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:30,706
- Maybe it would be better inside the car? Okay.
- Maybe.

535
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:33,793
Don't kill me. But I'm going to ask you out again.

536
00:37:33,876 --> 00:37:36,045
- Because you are in the shadows here.
- Okay.

537
00:37:36,128 --> 00:37:39,548
- We'll manage with what we have.
- Okay. We will succeed in this.

538
00:37:39,632 --> 00:37:41,801
Can you put it over the hood again?

539
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,011
As long as you want it.

540
00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:47,014
Again, I can't see anything you're erasing.
But that's okay.

541
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:50,268
-I can't tell if you're sweating.
- I sweat profusely.

542
00:37:50,351 --> 00:37:52,478
Are you going to talk about the Breonna Taylor case?

543
00:37:52,561 --> 00:37:53,521
Yes.

544
00:37:53,604 --> 00:37:55,648
Breonna Taylor's family members believe,

545
00:37:55,731 --> 00:37:59,485
After listening to the audio files
delivered today,

546
00:37:59,568 --> 00:38:03,155
That it was a conspiracy from the beginning

547
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,117
To cover up the issue of their daughter's death.

548
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,744
"Expect a delay ahead."

549
00:38:08,828 --> 00:38:12,498
I talked to the family and told them:
“Don't say anything.”

550
00:38:12,581 --> 00:38:15,960
We will issue a response from our legal team.

551
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:22,300
People see these high-profile cases,
This is what everyone sees

552
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:26,554
But we are about to file cases against a few banks.

553
00:38:26,637 --> 00:38:30,433
We are also about to file a case against a private hospital

554
00:38:30,516 --> 00:38:33,894
We think the services are overpriced
For black people.

555
00:38:35,229 --> 00:38:38,232
It may be a case of shooting cases
By the police

556
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:40,234
Five or ten percent of our cases.

557
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:54,623
"(Maryland)"

558
00:38:55,791 --> 00:38:58,294
I came to cash my paycheck, because...

559
00:38:58,377 --> 00:38:59,378
"Case: Shira Brown"

560
00:38:59,462 --> 00:39:02,673
...I had nowhere else to spend it.
I have never been to this bank before.

561
00:39:02,757 --> 00:39:05,259
And the lady who works in the bank
I took my check.

562
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:08,054
She took my check and my ID card
She said she would not return them.

563
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,640
I had to call 911.

564
00:39:11,724 --> 00:39:14,643
And I'm sitting here being discriminated against.

565
00:39:16,979 --> 00:39:19,065
Hello, I'm here... How are you?

566
00:39:19,148 --> 00:39:20,649
I came to cash my paycheck,

567
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:22,777
But she took my check.

568
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:24,070
She's there.

569
00:39:26,739 --> 00:39:29,367
She was standing at the front of the bank, watching me.

570
00:39:30,242 --> 00:39:33,537
And I remember looking at her face.
She did not show any care or interest.

571
00:39:34,705 --> 00:39:38,959
When the police came out again,
I became very afraid,

572
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:42,213
Because I thought she said something

573
00:39:42,296 --> 00:39:44,590
That would make them believe

574
00:39:45,257 --> 00:39:46,550
I am committing a fraudulent act.

575
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:51,639
And when they find out that check is actually yours
Contact your manager...

576
00:39:51,722 --> 00:39:55,351
Call my manager,
Make sure the check is really mine.

577
00:39:55,434 --> 00:39:57,228
Did they say anything to you then?

578
00:39:57,311 --> 00:39:59,438
- Yes, they said.
- What did they say?

579
00:39:59,522 --> 00:40:02,691
“You know what it is, don't you?”
- Meaning?

580
00:40:03,484 --> 00:40:05,528
Meaning I am being discriminated against.

581
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:09,281
- They understood it then.
The policeman said: “You should hire a lawyer.”

582
00:40:09,365 --> 00:40:12,493
As he told me:
“If you have to film, film.”

583
00:40:13,202 --> 00:40:15,287
I have to get milk for my baby girl.

584
00:40:15,371 --> 00:40:19,792
The police will give me money to buy milk for my little girl.

585
00:40:19,875 --> 00:40:24,964
I was counting on my paycheck that week
To buy everything I need.

586
00:40:25,047 --> 00:40:26,966
The check was for $90.

587
00:40:27,049 --> 00:40:28,300
Only $90?

588
00:40:28,384 --> 00:40:30,886
Yes. It was worth $90.
Or $90.94 to be exact.

589
00:40:30,970 --> 00:40:33,139
- We are not talking here about a check for a large amount.
- True.

590
00:40:33,222 --> 00:40:34,098
Okay.

591
00:40:34,765 --> 00:40:39,061
I was overwhelmed with emotions then.
My little ones were crying.

592
00:40:39,145 --> 00:40:41,605
I remember feeling...

593
00:40:41,689 --> 00:40:43,315
I felt so embarrassed.

594
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:48,988
He said to me: “I will take you to buy milk for your little one.”

595
00:40:49,071 --> 00:40:51,157
- Policeman?
- The policeman.

596
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:54,243
I thank these two gentlemen. I appreciate you both.

597
00:40:54,326 --> 00:40:56,203
They took me to buy milk for my baby.

598
00:40:56,287 --> 00:41:00,124
I am unemployed due to the Corona pandemic.
I don't have any income.

599
00:41:00,207 --> 00:41:05,045
I remember my mother going through a similar situation
She is trying to provide food for us.

600
00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:09,675
I too saw my mother in a similar situation.

601
00:41:09,758 --> 00:41:12,845
That woman sacrificed for us,
Where she worked two jobs,

602
00:41:12,928 --> 00:41:16,265
And she was killing herself trying
To meet our basic needs.

603
00:41:17,224 --> 00:41:19,935
Banking discrimination against blacks is real.

604
00:41:20,019 --> 00:41:23,063
This bank will be held accountable.

605
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:25,483
You and your little ones will be fine.

606
00:41:33,407 --> 00:41:35,910
I always feel like I'm in a race against time.

607
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:43,542
Many things happen in the world,

608
00:41:43,626 --> 00:41:46,545
So that if you do not seize the opportunity

609
00:41:47,254 --> 00:41:49,924
When a movement occurs,

610
00:41:50,716 --> 00:41:52,885
You may lose that move.

611
00:41:53,886 --> 00:41:55,054
It's fleeting.

612
00:41:57,723 --> 00:42:00,476
You have to keep reducing that steadily.

613
00:42:04,396 --> 00:42:06,524
This is great news, brother.

617
00:42:27,962 --> 00:42:29,463
Or follow me.

618
00:42:30,756 --> 00:42:33,300
Or get out of my way.

Self-determination.

622
00:42:57,908 --> 00:42:59,785
Trying to determine self-worth.

623
00:43:04,123 --> 00:43:08,502
It was my fraternity, Omega Psi Phi,
Provide me with the foundation

624
00:43:08,586 --> 00:43:10,379
What I would have become.

625
00:43:12,506 --> 00:43:15,718
We were young black men who believed

626
00:43:15,801 --> 00:43:22,433
That we have the right to this American dream
As much as anyone else.

627
00:43:26,437 --> 00:43:31,525
We believed we were going to go out and change the world.

My grandfather was involved in my upbringing to some extent.

00:43:56,175 --> 00:43:58,093
We learned agriculture from him. I learned agriculture from him.

"John Boyd - Farmer"

00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:05,643
He taught me that if one cares for the earth,

The earth will always take care of him.

"Case: Black Farmers"

635
00:44:11,523 --> 00:44:14,193
Black farmers had
15 million acres of land

636
00:44:14,276 --> 00:44:16,028
Under "United States".

637
00:44:16,612 --> 00:44:20,616
Today, what black farmers own has decreased
To less than three million acres.

638
00:44:22,034 --> 00:44:23,661
At the beginning of the current century,

639
00:44:23,744 --> 00:44:26,580
Black farmers constituted one million families.

640
00:44:26,664 --> 00:44:31,502
Today, we barely constitute 45 thousand families.
According to the population census.

641
00:44:34,254 --> 00:44:36,090
Black farmers have a rich history.

642

Even today, most of America is white

643
00:44:39,051 --> 00:44:42,179
You don't know that there are such things as black farmers.

This is a hit below the belt for someone like me.

645

Hello mama. I'm with John Boyd,
President of the National Black Farmers Association,

646
00:44:54,024 --> 00:44:56,151
Accompanied by his wife, Kara.

647
00:44:56,235 --> 00:44:58,529
- She's from Lumberton.
-Okay!

648
00:45:00,489 --> 00:45:04,576
We're here at John's farm,

649
00:45:04,660 --> 00:45:08,872
John is explaining to me
Farm related issues,

650
00:45:08,956 --> 00:45:12,084
Because we will fight for black farmers

651
00:45:12,167 --> 00:45:16,839
So that these companies do not erase them from existence.

652
00:45:17,673 --> 00:45:19,174
I know this is true.

653
00:45:19,258 --> 00:45:21,969
They would rather kick us off our farms

00:45:26,181 --> 00:45:29,268
- That's right, mother. Got it!
- ...and Mexico and anywhere else.

I am a country girl, and I love country food.

657
00:45:32,312 --> 00:45:37,192
And here in Tallahassee, I can't find it
Spotted beans or spotted peas.

658

- We will send her a quantity of that.
- Listen, John grows it on his farm, mother.

-You are good at making La Rois cabbage.
- For you.

662
00:46:04,553 --> 00:46:06,388
Did you add pork to it?

663
00:46:06,472 --> 00:46:08,348
- What did you add to it?
- Yes.

664
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:12,436
- Oh my God! This is delicious.
- Yes.

665
00:46:12,519 --> 00:46:13,645
You should come more often.

666
00:46:14,521 --> 00:46:16,607
- Don't you take this regularly?
- Not at all.

Can we force?

On testing black farmers?

669
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,783
We have to do that and make it part of the settlement.

670
00:46:25,866 --> 00:46:27,993
- This is what we ask.
- Yes. This is what we ask for.

Rather, we are talking here about open tractors.

Where you spray and inhale these substances
At the same time.

676
00:46:39,713 --> 00:46:43,175
They were pouring chemicals and mixing them.
There were no masks or anything like that.

677
00:46:43,258 --> 00:46:48,013
They were not providing any information
About the preventive measures they should take.

00:46:50,516 --> 00:46:52,226
They suspect he has cancer.

680
00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:55,020
So he's been spraying chemicals all his life.

681
00:46:55,103 --> 00:46:57,064
Was it mostly from Monsanto?

682
00:46:57,147 --> 00:47:00,234
Yes. Glyphosate,
It is a weed killer.

683
00:47:00,317 --> 00:47:03,570
-And they didn't train anyone?
- Not at all.

684
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:07,741
I'm completely confident
That they were providing training

685
00:47:07,825 --> 00:47:10,452
-For larger corporate growers.
- They were actually training them.

686
00:47:10,536 --> 00:47:13,789
I'm quite sure
That they were training these farmers.

687
00:47:13,872 --> 00:47:17,292
They did not conduct any tests on any black farmer I knew.

688
00:47:20,379 --> 00:47:23,215
Allow me to introduce each of you
My professional card.

689
00:47:23,298 --> 00:47:26,468
I work with a full team of lawyers,

690
00:47:26,552 --> 00:47:32,266
We are party to a lawsuit
Against Monsanto and Bayer

691
00:47:32,349 --> 00:47:35,727
Concerning weed killer.

692
00:47:35,811 --> 00:47:40,274
Have you received education and training?
To use Monsanto products?

693
00:47:40,357 --> 00:47:44,695
No. My training is limited to opening the package.

694
00:47:44,778 --> 00:47:46,947
He unscrewed its lid and poured out its contents.

695
00:47:47,030 --> 00:47:49,241
Be careful not to touch the material.

696
00:47:49,783 --> 00:47:53,787
Were they sent to you via computer?
Any instructions or matters

697
00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:57,249
That will train you to deal
With these deadly chemicals?

698
00:47:57,332 --> 00:47:59,334
Just like him, I open the package,

699
00:47:59,418 --> 00:48:03,755
I pour the amount I need to pour and start spraying.

700
00:48:03,839 --> 00:48:07,676
Do you know if you have undergone medical examinations?

701
00:48:07,759 --> 00:48:10,137
To detect cancer
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?

702
00:48:10,220 --> 00:48:11,096
No.

703
00:48:11,179 --> 00:48:12,931
- Neither of you?
- True.

704
00:48:24,943 --> 00:48:29,656
I think they don't realize what's going on.

705
00:48:29,740 --> 00:48:33,952
Maybe they don't live in the same reality
In which we live.

706
00:48:34,453 --> 00:48:36,038
I've been black all my life,

707
00:48:36,121 --> 00:48:40,834
And I think the black community will have a certain reaction

708
00:48:40,918 --> 00:48:43,962
If the city doesn't solve this matter

709
00:48:44,046 --> 00:48:49,927
The jury's decision came
Like previous decisions historically

710
00:48:50,010 --> 00:48:52,137
When police kill black people,

711
00:48:52,220 --> 00:48:54,389
It would be bad for everyone.

712
00:48:57,726 --> 00:49:02,606
We were engaged in intense negotiations
With the Minneapolis City Council

713
00:49:02,689 --> 00:49:07,945
Almost immediately after the tragic torture incident
Which exposed George Floyd to death.

714
00:49:08,528 --> 00:49:12,115
We told them, “No, you won't pay the normal amount

715
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:15,035
Which ranges
"Between one million and three million dollars."

716
00:49:15,118 --> 00:49:19,414
This was the usual amount
To compensate for the life of a black person.

717
00:49:20,499 --> 00:49:26,421
We were either going to make them pay a historic settlement
In compensation for the life of George Floyd,

718
00:49:26,505 --> 00:49:28,757
Or we will not accept the settlement of the case.

719
00:49:39,351 --> 00:49:43,313
It was so rude
He said we don't have any right.

720
00:49:43,981 --> 00:49:47,943
In other words: “Do not interfere in other people’s affairs;
And stay away from Kentucky.”

721
00:49:49,486 --> 00:49:54,282
I ask you to be careful.
Be extremely careful.

722
00:49:54,366 --> 00:49:55,367
Yes sir.

723
00:50:00,914 --> 00:50:03,667
- I appreciate it, Darryl.
- You're welcome, buddy.

724
00:50:09,923 --> 00:50:12,134
Protests broke out in the capital.

725
00:50:12,217 --> 00:50:14,011
Rival candidate Amy McGrath

726
00:50:14,094 --> 00:50:16,513
Facing the Senate Majority Leader,
"Mitch McConnell."

727
00:50:16,596 --> 00:50:18,473
Democratic candidate for Kentucky

728
00:50:18,557 --> 00:50:21,476
You will join me as the election rolls around
Its final stages.

729
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,020
So stay with us.

730
00:50:23,103 --> 00:50:24,855
- Oh my God!
-Is this Louisiana?

731
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,442
- Yes, we were voting.
-Does Louisiana vote Democratic or Republican?

732
00:50:29,026 --> 00:50:33,280
Every time I look at it, I see it's going to be a Republican.
I saw no indication of a Democratic victory.

733
00:50:33,363 --> 00:50:35,449
They would be better off if they voted Democratic.

734
00:50:37,451 --> 00:50:39,995
When I see that crap on the screen, I say:

735
00:50:40,078 --> 00:50:44,041
“Oh my God! It's like a struggle
The Crip and Blood gangs.”

736
00:50:44,124 --> 00:50:47,294
There in Florida...
We had a crazy eternal rule.

737
00:50:47,377 --> 00:50:49,546
who went to prison,

738
00:50:50,422 --> 00:50:51,631
He never has the right to vote.

739
00:50:51,715 --> 00:50:52,883
Convicted criminals?

740
00:50:52,966 --> 00:50:55,093
A convicted felon does not have the right to vote.

741
00:50:55,177 --> 00:50:56,011
Wow!

742
00:50:57,387 --> 00:51:01,308
With my arrest record
And the things I've done in my life,

743
00:51:01,391 --> 00:51:04,478
I couldn't get a job
Even in a sewage treatment plant.

744
00:51:06,354 --> 00:51:10,358
When Ben hired me,
He was like an image of the savior in my life.

745
00:51:10,442 --> 00:51:12,736
Someone believing in me lifted my spirits.

746
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,448
Silkie family.

747
00:51:17,115 --> 00:51:18,575
Silky is our brother.

748
00:51:18,658 --> 00:51:21,661
We affectionately call him Silky Slim,

749
00:51:21,745 --> 00:51:24,581
Because that was his common name

750
00:51:24,664 --> 00:51:29,252
When he was a member of a gang called the Crip Gang,
He was a famous gangster.

751
00:51:46,478 --> 00:51:47,312
No.

752
00:51:48,021 --> 00:51:48,980
Okay.

753
00:51:49,731 --> 00:51:50,941
I finished this one.

754
00:51:59,783 --> 00:52:01,827
Size 44, let's see if it fits.

755
00:52:07,749 --> 00:52:09,459
Enters easily and comfortably.

756
00:52:11,169 --> 00:52:12,254
Let me buy this.

757
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,090
What a bargain.

758
00:52:29,813 --> 00:52:34,109
"(Florida)"

759
00:52:43,076 --> 00:52:47,330
I want to show people the factory website.

760
00:52:47,414 --> 00:52:51,710
It's on the outskirts of town
Close to the prison and the nightclub,

761
00:52:51,793 --> 00:52:55,088
Within a predominantly African American neighborhood.

762
00:52:55,172 --> 00:52:58,758
It is a neighborhood dominated by people of color.

763
00:52:58,842 --> 00:53:03,138
Lead dust spreads
On workers' clothes, jackets, etc.,

764
00:53:03,221 --> 00:53:05,640
They return to their homes and remove them.

765
00:53:05,724 --> 00:53:07,726
Lead becomes in homes.

766
00:53:07,809 --> 00:53:10,854
16 children were diagnosed
Since the first decade of this century

767
00:53:10,937 --> 00:53:13,523
They suffer from high levels of lead in the blood.

768
00:53:13,607 --> 00:53:14,941
"The voice of Shawn Shaw - Ben's partner lawyer."

769
00:53:15,025 --> 00:53:16,860
Gopher makes $40 million a year.

770
00:53:16,943 --> 00:53:18,945
This is what we saw in Flint,

771
00:53:19,029 --> 00:53:22,407
That is why we reached this historic settlement
And we got that compensation

772
00:53:22,490 --> 00:53:25,994
Which amounts to $614 million.

773
00:53:26,703 --> 00:53:31,166
This is the largest settlement amount involving children
In "America".

774
00:53:31,249 --> 00:53:33,168
"Case: Gopher Battery Factory."

775
00:53:33,251 --> 00:53:36,880
Mr. Brown, you told them you were concerned about bullets.

776
00:53:36,963 --> 00:53:38,798
Yes, that was the number one concern.

777
00:53:38,882 --> 00:53:41,009
How long have you worked at Gopher?

778
00:53:41,092 --> 00:53:43,553
I've been working at Gopher since 2011.

779
00:53:43,637 --> 00:53:45,305
(Gungnum Brown)
A former employee of Gopher.

780
00:53:45,388 --> 00:53:47,599
At that time,
It was difficult for me to find a good job.

781
00:53:47,682 --> 00:53:48,516
Yes sir.

782
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,062
When I started working there, we were 30 workers.

783
00:53:52,145 --> 00:53:53,897
- Okay.
-And we were all black.

784
00:53:54,689 --> 00:53:59,819
And we were all either on parole
Or perpetrators of crimes, etc.

785
00:53:59,903 --> 00:54:01,780
In practice, we were deprived of our civil rights.

786
00:54:01,863 --> 00:54:03,865
-And the pay was good, right?
- No.

787
00:54:04,491 --> 00:54:06,618
-It was $11.63 an hour.
- Okay.

788
00:54:06,701 --> 00:54:07,911
2011.

789
00:54:08,662 --> 00:54:12,082
- It was higher than the minimum wage, but...
- Yes.

790
00:54:12,165 --> 00:54:14,125
My son is seven years old now.

791
00:54:14,209 --> 00:54:16,503
I will have to take care of him for the rest of his life

792
00:54:16,586 --> 00:54:19,381
Because of all the diseases he suffered from.

793
00:54:20,006 --> 00:54:22,592
So he can't join
In a regular school now.

794
00:54:23,218 --> 00:54:24,052
Yes.

795
00:54:24,844 --> 00:54:29,474
I received a phone call
From a worker working in the Ministry of Health.

796
00:54:29,557 --> 00:54:31,810
She called me and wanted to know

797
00:54:31,893 --> 00:54:35,397
Whether you are aware
There is a large percentage of lead in my son's body.

798
00:54:36,314 --> 00:54:39,401
I told her I had already discussed that
With the pediatrician,

799
00:54:39,484 --> 00:54:42,821
The pediatrician explained it to me.
We are taking all precautions.

800
00:54:43,530 --> 00:54:47,075
“This is the 17th child we are monitoring,” she said.

801
00:54:47,158 --> 00:54:51,496
I asked her: “What do you mean?” She said: “Where is his father?”

802
00:54:51,579 --> 00:54:54,249
I replied, “I don’t know.”
So I asked again: “Where does he work?”

803
00:54:54,332 --> 00:54:57,836
I replied: “He works for Gopher Company.”
The first thing that came out of her mouth was: “Oh my God!”

804
00:54:58,878 --> 00:55:00,088
I said to her: “What do you mean?”

805
00:55:01,673 --> 00:55:08,346
She replied: “Every child on this list
"He is the son of a male employee who works at Gopher."

806
00:55:17,272 --> 00:55:21,484
“I looked everywhere and couldn't find anyone like you

807
00:55:21,568 --> 00:55:24,446
- I haven't found anyone like you
- I haven't found anyone like you

808
00:55:24,529 --> 00:55:26,364
I searched everywhere

809
00:55:26,448 --> 00:55:29,534
I looked everywhere and couldn't find anyone

810
00:55:29,617 --> 00:55:33,955
I looked everywhere and couldn't find anyone like you

811
00:55:34,039 --> 00:55:39,294
How great is our Lord

812
00:55:40,337 --> 00:55:45,091
You are the name above all names

813
00:55:46,468 --> 00:55:49,929
And you deserve, yes, you deserve

814
00:55:50,013 --> 00:55:52,891
You deserve to be praised

815
00:55:52,974 --> 00:55:54,934
And my heart will sing

816
00:55:55,518 --> 00:56:00,190
How great is our Lord!

817
00:56:00,273 --> 00:56:04,861
Come on, applaud the Lord. They clapped and praised. Amen.

818
00:56:04,944 --> 00:56:07,155
Thank you. Thank you.

819
00:56:07,238 --> 00:56:11,242
I grew up in a church a lot like this one

820
00:56:11,326 --> 00:56:15,747
To the point that I said as soon as I entered:
“Oh my God! If my mother were here with me,

821
00:56:15,830 --> 00:56:18,124
She would have said: “Hallelujah!”

822
00:56:18,208 --> 00:56:19,417
Yes!

823
00:56:20,335 --> 00:56:24,172
We don't have to fight racism and discrimination

824
00:56:24,255 --> 00:56:26,424
Only in cases of police shootings.

825
00:56:26,508 --> 00:56:29,886
We must also fight racism and discrimination

826
00:56:29,969 --> 00:56:33,223
Wherever they rear their hateful heads.

827
00:56:33,807 --> 00:56:40,605
And often,
Environmental racism strikes our communities.

828
00:56:40,688 --> 00:56:44,192
This is why we are here
In Tampa, Florida,

829
00:56:44,275 --> 00:56:51,116
Because they're at the Gopher battery factory.
Located in East Tampa.

830
00:56:52,534 --> 00:56:56,955
They value profit over safety,

831
00:56:57,038 --> 00:57:00,542
This reminds us of the movie "Erin Brockovich"

832
00:57:00,625 --> 00:57:05,713
Where you saw our children's lives destroyed.

833
00:57:05,797 --> 00:57:08,967
So let's stand up for those children
In the East Tampa area,

834
00:57:09,050 --> 00:57:10,718
Because each of their lives is important.

835
00:57:11,302 --> 00:57:13,471
We encourage each and every one of you

836
00:57:13,555 --> 00:57:18,226
He may be acquainted
Someone lives in East Tampa.

837
00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:20,562
To call Shawn Shaw.

838
00:57:23,398 --> 00:57:26,234
Please write down your name and phone number.

839
00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:29,028
- Is this your name or your father's name?
- My father's name.

840
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:31,948
Okay. Please write your name and phone number here.

841
00:57:32,699 --> 00:57:36,035
Sean and I will definitely contact you.

842
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:39,205
- Do you have one of your cards, Sean?
- Yes. Here you go.

843
00:57:39,289 --> 00:57:43,543
- Contact us please. How old is your father?
- He's 62.

844
00:57:43,626 --> 00:57:45,462
How long has he worked there?

845
00:57:45,545 --> 00:57:48,256
Five years ago.
Five or six years ago, I think.

846
00:57:48,339 --> 00:57:51,259
- We definitely want to talk to him.
- Okay.

847
00:57:51,342 --> 00:57:52,677
God bless you, my brother.

848
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,804
It's raining, folks.

849
00:57:54,888 --> 00:57:57,557
You have to walk in water here.

850
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,018
May God bless you. Keep doing what you're doing.
- God bless you.

851
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,728
-And you continue to pray for us.
- I will.

852
00:58:24,334 --> 00:58:25,710
We have breaking news tonight,

853
00:58:25,793 --> 00:58:28,505
A state of emergency was declared
In Louisville, Kentucky,

854
00:58:28,588 --> 00:58:30,173
After a jury decided indictment

855
00:58:30,256 --> 00:58:33,927
Three police officers were not charged
In the shooting death of Breonna Taylor.

856
00:58:36,638 --> 00:58:37,472
Hello mama.

857
00:58:38,097 --> 00:58:40,808
It's heartbreaking.

858
00:58:40,892 --> 00:58:42,977
Justice was not served for Breonna.

859
00:58:43,061 --> 00:58:45,772
I think they're going to burn down Kentucky.

860
00:58:46,439 --> 00:58:50,860
- It's not worth it.
- We have to pray that they don't do that, mother.

861
00:58:50,944 --> 00:58:54,113
Tell them I'm heartbroken.

862
00:58:55,114 --> 00:58:56,616
- I will.
-I love you, my dear.

863
00:58:56,699 --> 00:58:59,410
-And I love you, mother. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

864
00:59:04,457 --> 00:59:05,291
"(Kentucky)"

865
00:59:05,375 --> 00:59:07,585
After months of intense negotiations,

866
00:59:07,669 --> 00:59:10,713
Our legal team concluded a settlement
Regarding the Breonna Taylor case.

867
00:59:10,797 --> 00:59:14,175
With a record compensation of $12 million.

868
00:59:16,052 --> 00:59:20,515
Unfortunately, no criminal charges were brought.

869
00:59:20,598 --> 00:59:22,642
But this matter is not in our hands.

870
00:59:25,311 --> 00:59:26,312
Shall I talk to Gail?

871
00:59:29,649 --> 00:59:33,486
How does the family deal with their grief?
She got $12 million.

872
00:59:33,570 --> 00:59:35,738
So, at some point, someone thought

873
00:59:35,822 --> 00:59:38,658
The family has been wronged in this case.

874
00:59:38,741 --> 00:59:43,288
Without bringing charges,
No one was held accountable for the murder of the family's daughter.

875
00:59:45,456 --> 00:59:48,167
This is the tough one, Gail King.

876
00:59:48,251 --> 00:59:51,796
The civil settlement was very important
On several fronts.

877
00:59:51,879 --> 00:59:55,383
It set a precedent for systemic reform

878
00:59:55,466 --> 01:00:01,055
And talking about the value of women's lives
Black women in society.

879
01:00:01,139 --> 01:00:03,433
But as Tamika Palmer said...

880
01:00:03,516 --> 01:00:04,642
"Breonna Taylor's family"

881
01:00:04,726 --> 01:00:08,146
…Accountability would be a deterrent.

882
01:00:09,439 --> 01:00:13,443
You come to a city, and I can almost hear someone saying:

883
01:00:13,526 --> 01:00:15,194
“Wow!

884
01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:19,073
Ben Crump is here."

885
01:00:19,157 --> 01:00:22,619
I am not prepared to apologize as an advocate

886
01:00:22,702 --> 01:00:26,831
About black lives, black freedom, and black humanity.

887
01:00:26,914 --> 01:00:32,378
So I am proud to describe myself as a civil rights attorney

888
01:00:32,462 --> 01:00:36,924
He believes in these romantic ideas

889
01:00:37,008 --> 01:00:39,469
About freedom and justice for all.

890
01:00:39,552 --> 01:00:42,597
What you say would be even more impressive

891
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,641
If you were doing it for free.

892
01:00:46,392 --> 01:00:49,270
If only you weren't making a lot of money from it.

893
01:00:49,354 --> 01:00:51,397
I'll tell you, Ted.

894
01:00:52,023 --> 01:00:56,444
That police brutality section
At my law firm

895
01:00:56,527 --> 01:01:01,741
It is the least profitable department
At my law firm.

896
01:01:01,824 --> 01:01:03,618
For every person like Breonna Taylor,

897
01:01:04,327 --> 01:01:09,040
There are a hundred people
People with black and brown skin

898
01:01:09,123 --> 01:01:13,002
They are killed by the police without justification,

899
01:01:13,086 --> 01:01:15,588
Without making a penny of it,

900
01:01:15,672 --> 01:01:18,216
But we accept to take the case
Because that is the right thing to do.

901
01:01:19,759 --> 01:01:21,469
They are not bothered by your opinion...

902
01:01:21,552 --> 01:01:24,138
I am talking here about blacks, not whites.

903
01:01:24,222 --> 01:01:27,183
I'm talking about people
who criticize us harshly within our communities,

904
01:01:27,266 --> 01:01:29,268
And those who say it's just about money.

905
01:01:29,352 --> 01:01:33,398
In your opinion, people never held that much grudge

906
01:01:33,481 --> 01:01:35,274
To someone who lost a family member?

907
01:01:35,358 --> 01:01:37,527
He now has to take care of the children of the deceased.

908
01:01:37,610 --> 01:01:40,446
The deceased will have left behind a family
She was counting on him.

909
01:01:40,530 --> 01:01:43,491
It was not difficult for people to understand

910
01:01:43,574 --> 01:01:48,496
That's the only way to achieve justice
Through the civil side

911
01:01:48,579 --> 01:01:50,289
Be through punitive damages?

912
01:01:50,373 --> 01:01:53,835
One might think
This will be celebrated by everyone.

913
01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:56,003
What do they want to…

914
01:01:56,087 --> 01:01:57,964
They'll say, "Well, no.

915
01:01:58,923 --> 01:02:02,051
Black people, don't take the money
For what you lost,

916
01:02:02,135 --> 01:02:06,055
But it's okay to get crumbs.

917
01:02:06,139 --> 01:02:08,516
“We see this as a lot of money.”

918
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:11,936
By the way, this is something that cannot be controlled.

919
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:13,604
Just like the criminal side,

920
01:02:13,688 --> 01:02:16,566
So that if one returns
To civic education lessons in high school,

921
01:02:16,649 --> 01:02:21,446
He will know that it is in the hands of an elected government official.

922
01:02:21,529 --> 01:02:24,949
And they say, “No. Put your trust in them.

923
01:02:25,032 --> 01:02:28,161
Do not take this financial compensation

924
01:02:28,244 --> 01:02:33,374
Which would change your financial situation

925
01:02:33,458 --> 01:02:35,877
For your family for generations.”

926
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,881
If it doesn't attract attention
Over the last 10 or 12 years...

927
01:02:39,964 --> 01:02:43,217
We are now witnessing a gradual change.

928
01:02:43,301 --> 01:02:45,887
Since the killing of George Floyd,

929
01:02:45,970 --> 01:02:52,185
More than 100 cities carried out reforms
The police have it at one level or another.

930
01:02:52,268 --> 01:02:54,103
"Black Lives Matter"

931
01:03:03,321 --> 01:03:05,823
How does your family see justice?

932
01:03:05,907 --> 01:03:08,743
In the end, justice is in the conviction.

933
01:03:08,826 --> 01:03:10,411
"Philonise Floyd - George Floyd's brother."

934
01:03:10,495 --> 01:03:13,956
I saw a lot of African Americans being killed,

935
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,125
No one was condemned.

936
01:03:16,209 --> 01:03:19,462
In the case of George Floyd, I am redoubling my efforts.

937
01:03:20,546 --> 01:03:25,343
We have to get a guilty verdict.

938
01:03:25,426 --> 01:03:28,095
We cannot hesitate to give our best efforts.

939
01:03:28,179 --> 01:03:31,390
I would not allow a repetition

940
01:03:31,474 --> 01:03:35,228
What happened in the Trayvon Martin murder case.

941
01:03:46,155 --> 01:03:48,366
Do you think the result could have been different?

942
01:03:48,449 --> 01:03:50,201
What if the race of the killer and the victim were reversed?

943
01:03:51,285 --> 01:03:54,413
If George Zimmerman were black
Trayvon Martin is white.

944
01:03:56,415 --> 01:04:01,629
We know that an unarmed 17-year-old boy was murdered,

945
01:04:02,463 --> 01:04:06,092
I believe that all Americans should
To look closely at what is in their hearts

946
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:11,264
Trying to figure out how we can as a society
To learn from this tragedy,

947
01:04:11,347 --> 01:04:13,641
How can we ensure this does not happen again?

948
01:04:17,019 --> 01:04:21,649
We lived in a state of agony
After Trayvon Martin's killer got away.

949
01:04:21,732 --> 01:04:24,235
Without punishment or accountability.

950
01:04:37,832 --> 01:04:40,710
I've seen hundreds of these cases.

951
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,047
Usually, when he kills police officers

952
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,593
Black boys
Hispanic boys...

953
01:04:50,636 --> 01:04:52,680
Nothing happens to them.

954
01:04:53,681 --> 01:04:55,683
But because we got this video,

955
01:04:56,726 --> 01:04:59,562
I want to believe that we will reach a different result.

956
01:05:03,733 --> 01:05:05,026
“Eight people are facing charges
In the Boot Camp case.

957
01:05:05,109 --> 01:05:11,782
This is our best chance to hold the police accountable
Responsibility for killing a person belonging to a minority, and...

958
01:05:13,409 --> 01:05:14,577
Unfortunately…

959
01:05:17,788 --> 01:05:18,873
It's like…

960
01:05:20,082 --> 01:05:20,958
You hear a lot...

961
01:05:22,835 --> 01:05:26,005
of older African Americans
And they say:

962
01:05:27,381 --> 01:05:28,215
Like…

963
01:05:29,216 --> 01:05:30,968
"We don't expect...

964
01:05:33,512 --> 01:05:34,680
Justice applied to everyone.

965
01:05:36,098 --> 01:05:37,475
"This is not our reality."

966
01:05:43,606 --> 01:05:45,524
I think only time will show that.

967
01:05:47,610 --> 01:05:48,444
History…

968
01:05:50,279 --> 01:05:51,197
History.

969
01:06:01,207 --> 01:06:03,584
- Hurray! Well done!
Excellent, Brooke!

970
01:06:03,668 --> 01:06:05,086
Well done girl.

971
01:06:15,137 --> 01:06:16,138
Well done, hooray!

972
01:06:19,100 --> 01:06:20,476
Blow on it.

973
01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:24,188
Unfortunately, I have to move around a lot.

974
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,899
This means being away from my family.

975
01:06:28,609 --> 01:06:30,820
Happy birthday, my little girl.

976
01:06:32,363 --> 01:06:34,865
Every time I come home,

977
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:40,121
It seems to me that my daughter's height has increased by several centimeters.

978
01:06:41,998 --> 01:06:44,709
"Judge and lawyer."

979
01:06:46,544 --> 01:06:49,213
- Okay. True.
- Benjamin Crump.

980
01:06:50,131 --> 01:06:54,343
My wife, my daughter, my mother, and all my family members,

981
01:06:54,427 --> 01:06:59,181
They all have to sacrifice a lot.

982
01:07:02,852 --> 01:07:05,771
I am forever grateful to them.

983
01:07:15,948 --> 01:07:16,991
"Silky Slim."

984
01:07:18,242 --> 01:07:20,786
Talk to me quickly, buddy.
My plane has just landed.

985
01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:24,498
It's very frustrating for the family right now.

986
01:07:25,082 --> 01:07:29,086
We have to keep up the pressure,
Because people will forget about it.

987
01:07:29,170 --> 01:07:31,505
And they'll kill someone else tomorrow.

988
01:07:45,686 --> 01:07:48,731
I drove off because I was afraid to get out.

989
01:07:49,315 --> 01:07:50,399
Who is this?

990
01:07:50,483 --> 01:07:51,317
"(Illinois)"

991
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:52,651
Why did you shoot at us?

992
01:07:52,735 --> 01:07:53,736
Who shot at you?

993
01:07:53,819 --> 01:07:54,820
"Case: (Tavara Williams)"

994
01:07:54,904 --> 01:07:56,697
The policeman was shooting at us.

995
01:07:59,366 --> 01:08:01,911
I kept screaming, "I don't have a gun."

996
01:08:01,994 --> 01:08:05,081
I told them: "Don't shoot, please,"
I have a baby with me.

997
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,333
We have a baby with us.”

998
01:08:08,793 --> 01:08:13,339
They laid Marcellus on the ground and covered him with a blanket.

999
01:08:14,131 --> 01:08:16,050
I knew he was still alive.

1000
01:08:17,510 --> 01:08:20,930
They took that away from me instead of making...

1001
01:08:21,764 --> 01:08:22,807
Oh my God!

1002
01:08:36,946 --> 01:08:39,698
Thank you, Ben. We believe in you.

1003
01:08:39,782 --> 01:08:42,701
You can contact me and my team at any time.

1004
01:08:42,785 --> 01:08:45,412
- Okay. Bless you, sir.
- Okay. May God bless you

1005
01:08:46,038 --> 01:08:48,290
How is Tavara doing, they say?

1006
01:08:48,374 --> 01:08:49,792
"Cliftina Johnson - Tavara's mother."

1007
01:08:49,875 --> 01:08:51,877
“When I fall asleep, I dream about it, Mama,” she says.

1008
01:08:51,961 --> 01:08:55,172
She says: “They killed him, mother. I am afraid.”

1009
01:08:55,756 --> 01:08:59,635
You will need psychological treatment.

1010
01:08:59,718 --> 01:09:00,678
For "Marcellus".

1011
01:09:00,761 --> 01:09:02,388
She is plagued by survivor's conscience.

1012
01:09:02,471 --> 01:09:03,639
Ishanti Williams - Tafara's brother.

1013
01:09:03,722 --> 01:09:07,143
That is, she feels bad because she is the one who survived.
She urgently needs psychological treatment.

1014
01:09:07,768 --> 01:09:10,104
Yes, this is new to me.

1015
01:09:10,187 --> 01:09:12,815
It's like a dream to me.

1016
01:09:12,898 --> 01:09:15,401
Sometimes I wish I could go back to sleep.

1017
01:09:15,484 --> 01:09:16,652
- Yes, ma'am.
- Like…

1018
01:09:28,247 --> 01:09:32,418
What happens when a case like this happens,

1019
01:09:32,501 --> 01:09:35,921
Is that the police are sending their entire team of investigators

1020
01:09:36,005 --> 01:09:37,548
To investigate the murder.

1021
01:09:37,631 --> 01:09:39,216
They knock on doors first.

1022
01:09:39,300 --> 01:09:41,677
In most cases,
They're looking for that video

1023
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,222
So they can create a narrative
That they want to make up.

1024
01:09:45,806 --> 01:09:48,058
So we have to keep up with that as quickly as possible.

1025
01:09:49,435 --> 01:09:52,396
Attorney Romanucci and our legal team

1026
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:56,775
They will examine all aspects of what happened

1027
01:09:56,859 --> 01:09:58,861
From start to finish, LaToya.

1028
01:10:01,030 --> 01:10:02,573
You will now hear what she will chant

1029
01:10:03,949 --> 01:10:05,409
Tafara's sister,

1030
01:10:07,036 --> 01:10:07,995
"Sasha."

1031
01:10:08,078 --> 01:10:12,333
This is very touching. Listen to Sasha Williams.

1032
01:10:18,756 --> 01:10:21,508
“The truth is, I'm tired

1033
01:10:23,844 --> 01:10:26,347
My options are few

1034
01:10:29,099 --> 01:10:31,685
I try to pray

1035
01:10:34,021 --> 01:10:36,607
But where are you?

1036
01:10:39,944 --> 01:10:42,446
I go to church a lot

1037
01:10:44,114 --> 01:10:46,825
Hurt and confused

1038
01:10:50,246 --> 01:10:52,164
I can't pretend

1039
01:10:52,831 --> 01:10:56,168
What's left for me to do?"

1040
01:10:56,252 --> 01:11:00,673
Make sure they do what they have to do.
Father, I ask you in your name.

1041
01:11:00,756 --> 01:11:03,968
I don't ask you for anything else, Father.

1042
01:11:04,051 --> 01:11:06,762
- Let your light shine.
- Yes.

1043
01:11:06,845 --> 01:11:08,806
On their family and our family

1044
01:11:08,889 --> 01:11:11,809
And every family should have this heart.

1045
01:11:12,476 --> 01:11:16,063
- I ask you today in your name. Amen.
- Amen.

1046
01:11:41,255 --> 01:11:43,966
What I think about a lot is…

1047
01:11:46,051 --> 01:11:50,055
I don't know these individuals until after they die.

1048
01:11:54,727 --> 01:11:57,563
How could it have been?
If I had met them in their lives?

1049
01:11:58,814 --> 01:12:01,400
"Case: AJ Crooms and Sincere Pierce."

1050
01:12:02,192 --> 01:12:06,655
I have a recurring nightmare that I'm running out of time.

1051
01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:14,580
It gets painful.

1052
01:12:24,340 --> 01:12:29,553
What can i do
To prevent a new mother or father from getting heartbroken?

1053
01:12:38,645 --> 01:12:42,608
This should not be a funeral bulletin.

1054
01:12:44,526 --> 01:12:47,237
Rather, it should be a graduation bulletin.

1055
01:13:05,047 --> 01:13:06,507
19 years old,

1056
01:13:06,590 --> 01:13:07,549
"Case: Frederick Cox"

1057
01:13:07,633 --> 01:13:09,343
Frederick Cox Jr.

1058
01:13:09,426 --> 01:13:10,427
(North Carolina)

1059
01:13:10,511 --> 01:13:15,641
It is a name that joins the list of our black teenagers

1060
01:13:16,683 --> 01:13:20,938
Who were killed and no one was held accountable for that.

1061
01:13:21,021 --> 01:13:24,108
"Fred's life matters."

1062
01:13:24,191 --> 01:13:26,485
I don't understand "America".

1063
01:13:27,903 --> 01:13:34,159
When thousands invade the country's capital,

1064
01:13:34,243 --> 01:13:36,870
When you are able to control yourself,

1065
01:13:36,954 --> 01:13:38,956
And when you are able to calm down,

1066
01:13:39,039 --> 01:13:41,375
And when you are able
To use your training,

1067
01:13:41,458 --> 01:13:44,211
But when there's a young person of color,

1068
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,922
When there is a black juvenile,

1069
01:13:47,005 --> 01:13:50,968
You shoot first, then you ask questions.

1070
01:13:52,094 --> 01:13:54,012
The question is:

1071
01:13:54,096 --> 01:13:57,516
The police did not survive in America.

1072
01:13:57,599 --> 01:14:01,395
In shooting black people needlessly?

1073
01:14:01,478 --> 01:14:02,396
"Justice for Fred"

1074
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:03,689
Frederick Cox...

1075
01:14:06,233 --> 01:14:07,401
He was shot in the back.

1076
01:14:13,740 --> 01:14:15,534
Oh my God! I can't get in.

1077
01:14:15,617 --> 01:14:17,953
He was holding the door.

1078
01:14:18,036 --> 01:14:22,583
He pushed Tavares and Vivian through that door.

1079
01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:27,129
My little one. My only little one.

1080
01:14:27,963 --> 01:14:29,882
He took my only child.

1081
01:14:31,133 --> 01:14:32,676
He took my only child.

1082
01:14:32,759 --> 01:14:37,639
“The deep river, Lord

1083
01:14:39,725 --> 01:14:45,772
My home is on the other side of the Jordan River.

1084
01:14:48,317 --> 01:14:54,990
Deep river

1085
01:14:56,200 --> 01:15:00,162
Which I want to cross

1086
01:15:00,245 --> 01:15:03,874
To the camp ground

1087
01:15:03,957 --> 01:15:08,295
You know I want to cross it

1088
01:15:08,378 --> 01:15:11,882
To the camp ground

1089
01:15:13,008 --> 01:15:16,512
My Lord calls me through thunder

1090
01:15:21,016 --> 01:15:24,520
The sound of the trumpet echoes in my soul

1091
01:15:25,854 --> 01:15:32,653
You know I won't stay here long

1092
01:15:34,071 --> 01:15:40,160
I don't have long to stay here

1093
01:15:41,411 --> 01:15:45,791
The deep river...”

1094
01:15:46,959 --> 01:15:47,793
Amen.

1095
01:15:53,590 --> 01:15:56,510
I need to focus on getting some rest.

1096
01:15:56,593 --> 01:15:58,303
I think that's what my body tells me to do.

1097
01:16:00,055 --> 01:16:02,099
I caught myself coughing.

1098
01:16:02,182 --> 01:16:04,518
I can't catch a cold right now,

1099
01:16:05,310 --> 01:16:08,146
But I don't get enough sleep.

1100
01:16:08,230 --> 01:16:11,858
I did what you asked me to do.
I tried to force him to eat breakfast.

1101
01:16:11,942 --> 01:16:13,652
I did it. He was the one who forced me to do this.

1102
01:16:15,612 --> 01:16:18,949
My wife, my little daughter, and my mother,

1103
01:16:19,950 --> 01:16:22,911
Everyone I love says to me:

1104
01:16:24,037 --> 01:16:25,038
"Slow down."

1105
01:16:25,122 --> 01:16:26,373
But I can't slow down,

1106
01:16:26,456 --> 01:16:29,751
Because I feel like I'm running out of time.

1107
01:16:36,258 --> 01:16:41,179
My partners in the law firm
They would prefer that I not take on civil rights cases.

1108
01:16:41,763 --> 01:16:43,181
They think I've done enough.

1109
01:16:45,183 --> 01:16:46,351
They always tell me:

1110
01:16:47,227 --> 01:16:52,316
Ben, we make money in much easier ways.

1111
01:16:52,399 --> 01:16:55,902
And we make more money than taking other cases.

1112
01:16:56,862 --> 01:17:01,241
Why are you still willing?
In taking on these civil rights cases?”

1113
01:17:02,701 --> 01:17:05,579
They are very concerned about my safety.

1114
01:17:06,788 --> 01:17:10,500
They are very concerned about my mental health.

1115
01:17:11,710 --> 01:17:14,921
They are very worried about my family,

1116
01:17:15,464 --> 01:17:19,176
Because I was away from her for long periods of time.

1117
01:17:21,970 --> 01:17:25,599
Tell me again, Genet.
About how we got this dog.

1118
01:17:26,725 --> 01:17:30,187
Well, it was Miss Brooklyn.
She wants to get a dog

1119
01:17:30,270 --> 01:17:32,898
Since...how long? A year and a half?

1120
01:17:32,981 --> 01:17:35,275
- Two years ago.
- Between a year and a half and two years ago.

1121
01:17:35,359 --> 01:17:39,571
Two weeks ago,
She knelt down, begging and crying.

1122
01:17:40,072 --> 01:17:43,617
And she was like, “I want a dog, Mama.”

1123
01:17:44,201 --> 01:17:47,746
She said: “Even in school,
All my classmates have pets.

1124
01:17:47,829 --> 01:17:50,123
They tell stories about their pets.”

1125
01:17:50,207 --> 01:17:54,461
She also said, "And I tell stories about Skylar."
And let me tell you about this Skyler.

1126
01:17:54,544 --> 01:17:56,338
Skylar is a stuffed dog toy

1127
01:17:56,421 --> 01:18:00,050
I bought it years ago from Victoria's Secret.

1128
01:18:00,133 --> 01:18:01,510
She was always on the railing of the stairs.

1129
01:18:01,593 --> 01:18:03,970
Over the past few weeks, it has been…

1130
01:18:04,054 --> 01:18:06,139
She even bought him a halter,

1131
01:18:06,223 --> 01:18:09,059
And I pretended the dog was real and so on.

1132
01:18:09,142 --> 01:18:12,270
This is why I said:

1133
01:18:12,354 --> 01:18:14,398
“I have to get my baby a dog.”

1134
01:18:14,481 --> 01:18:18,193
Especially since she makes up stories at school

1135
01:18:18,276 --> 01:18:20,278
About a fake dog, so...

1136
01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:24,199
Brooklyn, do you take it out every morning?
To relieve himself,

1137
01:18:24,282 --> 01:18:26,326
Or will you have other people help you with this?

1138
01:18:28,537 --> 01:18:29,996
- No.
-We are a team.

1139
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,834
No. My mom and I are a team.

1140
01:18:35,877 --> 01:18:38,171
Genet, you're like a bad director now.

1141
01:18:40,173 --> 01:18:43,969
He has become a wonderful dog for our family.

1142
01:18:44,636 --> 01:18:46,680
He became part of our family.

1143
01:18:46,763 --> 01:18:49,558
And you, Ben, will love it.

1144
01:18:49,641 --> 01:18:51,977
Okay. "Brooklyn Crump"

1145
01:18:52,060 --> 01:18:57,941
Only you are responsible
About that dog, all your life.

1146
01:18:58,817 --> 01:18:59,735
Okay.

1147
01:19:01,069 --> 01:19:02,738
Well, don't forget that.

1148
01:19:03,572 --> 01:19:04,448
Okay.

1149
01:19:05,574 --> 01:19:06,408
Okay.

1150
01:19:09,161 --> 01:19:10,495
I love you both. Goodbye.

1151
01:19:11,371 --> 01:19:12,289
And we love you.

1152
01:19:14,082 --> 01:19:15,125
Goodbye!

1153
01:19:17,753 --> 01:19:22,257
"(Minnesota)"

1154
01:19:24,926 --> 01:19:26,970
As is the case with most people,

1155
01:19:27,721 --> 01:19:33,685
I think the "George Floyd" video.
It left an imprint on my brain.

1156
01:19:34,936 --> 01:19:36,980
As one sees him begging

1157
01:19:38,482 --> 01:19:39,566
In order to be able to breathe,

1158
01:19:40,484 --> 01:19:42,778
But they don't do anything about it.

1159
01:19:44,738 --> 01:19:46,740
When I lie in bed at night,

1160
01:19:46,823 --> 01:19:51,495
And I'm trying to think of legal strategies,

1161
01:19:53,121 --> 01:19:54,581
The scene rushes into my mind.

1162
01:19:56,082 --> 01:20:00,670
“What can I do
To ensure that we get justice?

1163
01:20:04,424 --> 01:20:07,803
- They don't seem to have the votes.
- They don't have it?

1164
01:20:07,886 --> 01:20:12,974
They don't have it for what we demand.

1165
01:20:14,267 --> 01:20:16,228
This is our situation, I think.

1166
01:20:16,311 --> 01:20:18,522
They see that they are on the wrong path,

1167
01:20:18,605 --> 01:20:20,732
They don't want to continue it,

1168
01:20:20,816 --> 01:20:26,071
But I say: “This is not an issue
One sets a limit to it that one does not exceed.”

1169
01:20:26,822 --> 01:20:28,031
True. Not this issue.

1170
01:20:29,533 --> 01:20:30,951
They will pay a price.

1171
01:20:31,034 --> 01:20:34,663
They will pay a higher price
In terms of security and human cost.

1172
01:20:35,747 --> 01:20:39,084
- Okay, partner. I love you, man.
- Thanks, buddy. Goodbye.

1173
01:20:47,717 --> 01:20:49,427
If they do not offer the required amount...

1174
01:20:49,511 --> 01:20:50,470
(Antonio Romanucci)
Partner lawyer in the George Floyd case

1175
01:20:50,554 --> 01:20:53,557
...You have to let them know that we will not back down.

1176
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,101
This case should set a precedent.

1177
01:20:56,685 --> 01:21:02,399
Anything less than that
It will not be a tribute to the legacy of George Floyd.

1178
01:21:04,359 --> 01:21:05,861
Let's put on our armor...

1179
01:21:07,612 --> 01:21:11,366
Because if we have to go to war,

1180
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:13,869
It will be a war for George Floyd.

1181
01:21:18,248 --> 01:21:20,083
Ben, a few moments ago,

1182
01:21:20,166 --> 01:21:22,294
The City Council announced it would be a closed session

1183
01:21:22,377 --> 01:21:25,797
To discuss the issue of civil rights
Which I filed against the city council.

1184
01:21:25,881 --> 01:21:27,924
There is one source that tells us

1185
01:21:28,008 --> 01:21:30,886
That they may be discussing a possible settlement.

1186
01:21:30,969 --> 01:21:33,013
What might this mean for the Floyds?

1187
01:21:33,096 --> 01:21:36,892
Just like in the Breonna Taylor case,

1188
01:21:36,975 --> 01:21:41,062
I think city council leaders should
To act responsibly.

1189
01:21:41,146 --> 01:21:45,609
It is not enough for them to say they are interested.

1190
01:21:45,692 --> 01:21:47,569
Rather, they have to show that they care.

1191
01:21:47,652 --> 01:21:51,406
They cannot control what will happen
In criminal courts,

1192
01:21:51,489 --> 01:21:55,994
But what they can do
It is to show that they are responsible leadership

1193
01:21:56,077 --> 01:21:59,414
In the face of this horrific tragedy

1194
01:21:59,497 --> 01:22:02,167
Which represented a defining moment for America.

1195
01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:04,961
Do you think we can?
To see a possible settlement concluded today?

1196
01:22:05,629 --> 01:22:06,755
Everything is possible.

1197
01:22:07,589 --> 01:22:08,548
Okay.

1198
01:22:14,137 --> 01:22:18,558
“Vote on civil settlement
In the case of George Floyd"

1199
01:22:18,642 --> 01:22:19,851
Here it is, folks.

1200
01:22:20,393 --> 01:22:23,855
The City Council holds executive session.

1201
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:27,317
Members will come out again and hold a public vote.

1202
01:22:29,152 --> 01:22:31,029
- Here we go, guys.
- This is Casey.

1203
01:22:31,112 --> 01:22:36,493
I think we have an answer for all members of the Council
In this public forum.

1204
01:22:38,244 --> 01:22:40,705
We will recite a proposal for documentation
Council Member Goodman by vote

1205
01:22:40,789 --> 01:22:43,124
To conclude a settlement
Regarding all substantiated allegations

1206
01:22:43,208 --> 01:22:45,752
By plaintiff Karen Nelson Schafer,

1207
01:22:45,835 --> 01:22:48,505
As guardian of children
George Perry Floyd Jr.,

1208
01:22:49,297 --> 01:22:52,801
Civil number 201577,

1209
01:22:52,884 --> 01:22:55,303
By paying $27 million

1210
01:22:55,387 --> 01:22:58,932
For the benefit of the children of George Perry Floyd, Jr.

1211
01:22:59,015 --> 01:23:03,353
The proposal will be put to a vote. And I support him.
An employee will call the members to take their votes.

1212
01:23:05,563 --> 01:23:07,774
- Council Member Fletcher.
- OK.

1213
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,360
- Council Member Schrader.

1214
01:23:10,443 --> 01:23:11,695
Council member "Osman".

01:23:15,448 --> 01:23:17,784
-Councilman Cunningham.
- OK.

1216
01:23:17,867 --> 01:23:18,952
Council Member Ellison.

1217
01:23:20,370 --> 01:23:21,287
OK.

1218
01:23:21,371 --> 01:23:23,289
-Council Member Goodman.
- Agree.

1219
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,959

01:23:28,753 --> 01:23:30,505
- Council Member Gordon.
- OK.

1222
01:23:31,214 --> 01:23:32,298
Council Member Kanu.

1223
01:23:33,383 --> 01:23:34,467
Agree.

1224
01:23:34,551 --> 01:23:36,344
-Council member “Rike”.
- OK.

1225
01:23:37,012 --> 01:23:39,472
- Council Member “Osman”.
- OK.

1226
01:23:40,557 --> 01:23:42,267
Council Member and Vice President Jenkins.

1227
01:23:45,061 --> 01:23:45,937
OK.

1228
01:23:46,021 --> 01:23:47,105
Council President Bandar.

1229
01:23:49,691 --> 01:23:50,525
Agree.

1230
01:23:50,608 --> 01:23:51,818
We have 13 votes in favor.

1231
01:23:52,777 --> 01:23:54,821
This is sufficient and the proposal is concluded.

1232
01:23:55,655 --> 01:23:57,073
I would like to clarify

1233
01:23:57,157 --> 01:24:00,869
The Minneapolis City Council
It is now unanimously agreed

1234
01:24:00,952 --> 01:24:03,580
A settlement worth $27 million
On the civil case

1235
01:24:03,663 --> 01:24:05,540
Provided by Minneapolis.

1236
01:24:05,623 --> 01:24:08,418
I hope this concentrates the family's voices today

1237
01:24:08,501 --> 01:24:10,795
And anything they want to say.

1238
01:24:11,421 --> 01:24:16,426
No amount of money can alleviate it
Severe pain or trauma to the family

1239
01:24:16,509 --> 01:24:17,761
As a result of the death of George Floyd.

1240
01:24:17,844 --> 01:24:19,012
What is your reaction?

1241
01:24:19,095 --> 01:24:22,724
I just heard the news.
$27 million settlement.

1242
01:24:22,807 --> 01:24:24,851
What does this mean for the Floyd family?

1243
01:24:24,934 --> 01:24:28,438
This means that members of the Minneapolis City Council

1244
01:24:28,521 --> 01:24:31,649
They didn't just say that George Floyd's life mattered.

1245
01:24:32,317 --> 01:24:34,569
They also showed that his life mattered.

1246
01:24:34,652 --> 01:24:35,779
This is historical,

1247
01:24:36,446 --> 01:24:38,448
It is the highest compensation paid

1248
01:24:38,531 --> 01:24:43,828
In a civil rights case and a person was wrongfully killed
In the history of the United States.

1249
01:24:45,747 --> 01:24:47,165
The settlement has been concluded, mother.

1250
01:24:47,248 --> 01:24:52,003
The city council approved a settlement
$27 million in the George Floyd case.

1251
01:24:52,087 --> 01:24:53,671
Praise be to you, Lord!

1252
01:24:53,755 --> 01:24:56,841
I prayed for justice for him too.

1253
01:25:13,316 --> 01:25:16,528
History will judge us

1254
01:25:17,487 --> 01:25:21,866
Through our commitment to the principles of our humanity.

1255
01:25:24,285 --> 01:25:25,120
I mean…

1256
01:25:26,746 --> 01:25:28,498
That's going to be a long trip.

1257
01:25:30,125 --> 01:25:32,836
A long journey towards justice.

1258
01:25:32,919 --> 01:25:34,379
This is just one step...

1259
01:25:36,256 --> 01:25:37,882
On the way to justice.

1260
01:25:41,427 --> 01:25:42,262
O Lord,

1261
01:25:43,179 --> 01:25:44,389
We are looking forward to you.

1262
01:25:46,182 --> 01:25:47,600
O Lord, our solace.

1263
01:25:49,310 --> 01:25:51,020
Oh Lord, our tears.

1264
01:25:52,272 --> 01:25:53,356
Oh Lord, our pain.

1265
01:25:54,774 --> 01:25:55,984
O Lord, our protest.

1266
01:25:57,861 --> 01:26:01,698
I chose George Perry Floyd...

1267
01:26:04,409 --> 01:26:06,411
To stir awareness

1268
01:26:07,829 --> 01:26:08,872
In "America",

1269
01:26:10,540 --> 01:26:11,624
And the world,

1270
01:26:13,001 --> 01:26:14,294
Towards justice.

1271
01:26:16,462 --> 01:26:17,297
O Lord,

1272
01:26:18,131 --> 01:26:21,050
We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors

1273
01:26:21,843 --> 01:26:24,971
Buried under the Atlantic Ocean now,

1274
01:26:26,264 --> 01:26:28,474
We believe in you for a better day.

1275
01:26:33,438 --> 01:26:36,107
"in two weeks"

1276
01:26:36,191 --> 01:26:39,485
“The criminal trial begins
Derek Chauvin's

1277
01:26:39,569 --> 01:26:43,114
"The police officer accused of killing George Floyd."

1278
01:26:49,954 --> 01:26:51,164
Today…

1279
01:26:52,957 --> 01:26:55,752
A historic trial will begin

1280
01:26:57,253 --> 01:26:59,505
It will be like a referendum

1281
01:27:00,215 --> 01:27:03,885
How far has America come?

1282
01:27:03,968 --> 01:27:05,303
In her quest...

1283
01:27:07,222 --> 01:27:10,016
To achieve equality and justice for all.

1284
01:27:17,941 --> 01:27:21,361
Protests broke out
On the streets of suburban Minneapolis yesterday,

1285
01:27:21,444 --> 01:27:25,031
After a police officer shot Dante Wright.
The 20-year-old and I shot him dead

1286
01:27:25,114 --> 01:27:26,449
During his arrest on the road.

1287
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:30,119
I will electrocute you! Electric shock!

1288
01:27:31,204 --> 01:27:34,791
Wow! I shot him.

1289
01:27:34,874 --> 01:27:35,833
"Case: (Dante Wright)"

1290
01:27:35,917 --> 01:27:37,043
Mr. Crump's office. This is Adner.

1291
01:27:37,126 --> 01:27:39,796
It's a rough night too
In the Twin Cities area.

1292
01:27:39,879 --> 01:27:43,341
Tonight, a curfew was imposed
It begins with sunset and ends with sunrise

1293
01:27:43,424 --> 01:27:45,718
In the midst of a second night of protests.

1294
01:27:45,802 --> 01:27:48,137
They are trying to prevent the destruction of their city.

1295
01:27:48,221 --> 01:27:49,055
Sure.

1296
01:27:49,806 --> 01:27:52,767
Experience. Can you hear me?

1297
01:27:52,850 --> 01:27:56,062
The police pushed them back, but this...

1298
01:27:56,145 --> 01:27:59,065
You represent the Dante Wright family.

1299
01:27:59,148 --> 01:28:00,942
The family called for calm.

1300
01:28:01,025 --> 01:28:03,152
What is your reaction to what you see now?

1301
01:28:03,236 --> 01:28:06,155
Interacting on the streets of central Brooklyn?

1302
01:28:06,823 --> 01:28:08,283
They will destroy it!

1303
01:28:08,366 --> 01:28:12,078
Obviously, Don.
This is an emotional period.

1304
01:28:12,161 --> 01:28:17,083
We have two police officers, and they are at a distance
Not exceeding 15 kilometers from the court building,

1305
01:28:18,001 --> 01:28:21,421
Stop this black man
Just because he's a black person driving a car

1306
01:28:21,504 --> 01:28:23,047
It has an air freshener.

1307
01:28:23,131 --> 01:28:26,301
He ends up killed by that policewoman

1308
01:28:26,384 --> 01:28:30,680
Which she claims she meant
Advertising her electroshock device,

1309
01:28:30,763 --> 01:28:32,932
This is completely unacceptable.

1310
01:28:34,350 --> 01:28:39,439
This is something I cannot understand,

1311
01:28:40,231 --> 01:28:42,150
To present a police officer

1312
01:28:43,651 --> 01:28:49,282
On shooting
On another unarmed black man and kill him!

1313
01:28:50,825 --> 01:28:53,953
This is something if you told me

1314
01:28:54,037 --> 01:28:57,665
Without seeing little Dante's face,

1315
01:28:57,749 --> 01:29:01,252
Without seeing his mother and grandmother crying,

1316
01:29:01,336 --> 01:29:02,962
I wouldn't have believed him.

1317
01:29:03,046 --> 01:29:05,590
If there was time

1318
01:29:06,716 --> 01:29:12,430
No one should be killed in it
By police officers,

1319
01:29:12,513 --> 01:29:16,392
It would have been the time of this landmark trial

1320
01:29:17,477 --> 01:29:19,812
For Derek Chauvin.

1321
01:29:20,688 --> 01:29:22,357
If you're ready, we'll go out.

1322
01:29:25,818 --> 01:29:27,862
Come with us today

1323
01:29:28,988 --> 01:29:34,118
Both Dante's mother and father,

1324
01:29:34,202 --> 01:29:37,747
Kitty and Aubrey Wright.

1325
01:29:40,333 --> 01:29:42,794
We were raising my son to be someone important.

1326
01:29:42,877 --> 01:29:44,879
He was going to be an important person.

1327
01:29:44,962 --> 01:29:46,297
He was a good boy.

1328
01:29:47,507 --> 01:29:50,218
The pain is overwhelming me. I don't talk much.

1329
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,262
I'm making superhuman efforts to speak now...

1330
01:29:55,306 --> 01:29:57,392
In front of crowds and so on.

1331
01:29:57,475 --> 01:30:00,311
My son was very loved. We loved him very much.

1332
01:30:02,522 --> 01:30:04,857
Mrs. Kitty, Mr. Aubrey,

1333
01:30:04,941 --> 01:30:07,485
Allow me to express my condolences

1334
01:30:07,568 --> 01:30:11,697
On behalf of the President and Vice President,
And all the employees of the White House,

1335
01:30:12,990 --> 01:30:14,117
For your loss.

1336
01:30:30,216 --> 01:30:32,093
We are currently on high alert,

1337
01:30:32,176 --> 01:30:35,513
Because of all the events happening at the same time,

1338
01:30:35,596 --> 01:30:38,015
And his involvement in all these matters

1339
01:30:38,099 --> 01:30:42,687
Makes him a potential target
For anyone who wants to commit a crazy act.

1340
01:30:42,770 --> 01:30:46,816
So we increase its level of protection
More than usual.

1341
01:30:50,278 --> 01:30:53,364
This is a unique Qur’an for me.
I will never give up on him.

1342
01:30:53,990 --> 01:30:56,826
My house was shot at
From a Kalashnikov rifle,

1343
01:30:56,909 --> 01:31:01,164
The bullet hit this Qur’an
And another book I was putting on my bed.

1344
01:31:01,247 --> 01:31:04,167
So I keep this Qur’an. He is dear to me.

1345
01:31:04,750 --> 01:31:06,961
He is definitely dear to me, yes.

1346
01:31:24,270 --> 01:31:26,731
Everyone loves Ben so much,

1347
01:31:26,814 --> 01:31:29,442
But I tell Ben
That we have to take it seriously.

1348
01:31:29,525 --> 01:31:33,613
This may not be limited to cameras every day.
There may be a gun behind the cameras one day.

1349
01:31:37,658 --> 01:31:42,788
At the same time, Ben and I decided...
To walk towards the court building,

1350
01:31:42,872 --> 01:31:46,375
We have made that decision
To show that we are not afraid.

1351
01:31:46,876 --> 01:31:49,295
"Hennepin County Government Center"

1352
01:32:09,690 --> 01:32:11,192
I feel that the case is going as it should.

1353
01:32:11,275 --> 01:32:14,612
But you all know
We did not convict any police officer

1354
01:32:14,695 --> 01:32:17,615
With second-degree murder
In Minnesota before.

1355
01:32:17,698 --> 01:32:21,536
Despite the fact that I feel satisfied
Regarding the progress of the case,

1356
01:32:22,286 --> 01:32:24,247
I still feel a little nervous.

1357
01:32:25,248 --> 01:32:29,752
It's all over now.
The matter is now before the jury.

1358
01:32:30,836 --> 01:32:34,840
We will not sell bear fur before hunting it.

1359
01:32:35,591 --> 01:32:37,134
But if the conviction is issued,

1360
01:32:37,218 --> 01:32:40,346
I believe in its issuance and I pray for that.

1361
01:32:40,429 --> 01:32:45,518
We will not be satisfied with the issuance of an ordinary and trivial ruling.

1362
01:32:45,601 --> 01:32:47,687
Because it is not an ordinary and trivial crime.

1363
01:32:48,521 --> 01:32:52,441
One of the best prosecution cases against a police officer
