George Floyd's family attorney L. Chris Stewart joins Ali Velshi to discuss Derek Chauvin’s conviction, policing in America, and the sustained change he would like to see post-trial. “It can’t stop with just George Floyd.” Stewart says, “In this country we’ve developed a mindset you can't hold police accountable, if you do so, you're against police. I may be a civil rights attorney, but I'm not against police. I have friends who are cops, I respect the dangerous nature of the job but you can still hold police accountable…It's not rocket science.”» Subscribe to MSNBC:

Floyd family Attorney on Chauvin Conviction: Justice Should Be Common, Not A Worldwide Celebration
George Floyd, the man who turned a fake $20 bill into $27 million.
@Cliff Lewis Jr i pay for my beer and drugs with my legit WORK money. And i pay for ur welfare. And ur abortions
Damned good for him! Your ancestors turned mud into cotton and tobacco from slave labor and you’re still living off the entitlements to this day. What do black peoples have you show for building this country, Europe and the rest of the world . Through Israel the world will be blessed. Your blessings are over!!!
@6 string Bass definitely wouldn’t die for the walking Alzheimer’s we have for president either.
@Tenn Titan have fun with the flaming racist homophobic then
@Cliff Lewis Jr how stupid can you be? If you’re an *addict* you’re an addict. Drinking alcohol doesn’t mean you’re an addict just like taking an over the counter medicine won’t make you an addict
If you asked Saint George’s family if they could bring him back or keep the 28 million, which one you think they’d choose?
@tom mas I agree
@Xavier Medina you can help spread the word of unity
@tom mas getting into sports is a gamble he probably couldn’t take and shouldn’t need to take there should be actual opportunities that help you to get out of poverty but instead to keep America in check we need to keep poor people poor so they can work poor people jobs, this happens all ever the country to every race. its a poor problem that influenced the drug selling. you shouldn’t have to sell drugs to get out of poverty, period.
The family got rich over a worthless human being
@Norrin Radd automatically we must be racist? Do u accuse ur qater bill of being racist? Haha
Alternate Juror- “I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again and I was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy with the verdict.” = Overturned in the Supreme Court.
The jury did their job and made the correct decision.
@Hugh G Rection I’m not required to show you anything. The judge himself said that Maxine Waters threats provided the defense with excellent grounds for an appeal.
@James Smith LOL; the jury couldn’t do their job for fear of retribution and violence; INTIMIDATION; mob rule does not rule in the COURT OF LAW. Also, Chauvin had the Governor’s authorization to use that type of force against a non compliant suspect, who was documented on fetanyl.
@James Smith apparently, you are not as WOKE as you think you are. Look beneath the riots and chaos. Who does it all benefit? Not really the blacks, I assure you.
@Young Tripp you should tripp and fall into some books.
Wait a minute. This guy just said, ‘….you have to be accountable for your actions.’. Does that apply to everyone ? Or just some.
Just blacks
@KickItUp then we should hang every democrat for sedition.
@KickItUp ever see someone have their head chopped off?
I have.
It usually takes three chops before they stop screaming.
Not Mr Floyd. He successfully avoided jail 👍
@KickItUp dat all u go? Trump?? Haha
He was such an outstanding citizen too. His own family didn’t even care about him until millions came pouring in. And the media just makes me puke. They are the problem.
@Timothy Johnson that’s why Instagram gets more hits anymore lmao cause it’s like how YouTube use to be lmao
@Bill Cosby he who laughs last laughs best. Ignorance is no excuse when you come before the Lord! You been brainwashed by your fathers. Bad luck . I’m out
@Asha Pasha actually the Lord probably Asian since the Asians are the most sophisticated race on this planet and are one with the earth and their traditions family values and more lmao. Is that why you hate whites and Asians cause they have higher knowledge being closer to the line of the all knowing Lord lmao everything you use on a daily was either made by whites or Asians lmao the fallen bring only destruction and what has your kind built to benefit mankind lmao
@Asha Pasha wasn’t the messiah a carpenter lmao how many blacks we see a great carpenter then how many white and Asian we see who have built Empires and more while Africa stuck in the Stone Age lmao also whites had to go to Africa to try to save them cause they can’t take care of themselves
@Bill Cosby you’re obviously uneducated otherwise, you wouldn’t have made such a ignorant statement. Like I said you’ve been taught lies starting when Napoleon broke of the noses of the Egyptian statues of the pharaohs to now. You are doomed. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Trust me on this ..floyd’s family attorney is there just for the money
As are all attorneys. Wecolme to the real world. I got bumped by a car a few years ago and my attorney made more money off my case than I got in my settlement.
just like his family.
Hmmmm…. Wasn’t It Pro Bono??
Anyways, With Attorneys on Cases As Big As This, they Long More Media Attention rather than anything else. Their Narcissistic!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
He may be but what about the family they are suffering, and they were not on drugs or resisting if what Floyd did warrants a death sentence then we should have had a much lower population before this pandemic for every person who ever used a counterfeit bill, he’ll I was given a counterfeit 10 once and all that happened to me was my drawer at work was 10$ short so is everyone saying I deserved to die because I unknowingly accepted a fake bill
@Sharece Robertson I guess I Agree, BUT I DO Think That You Posted This Under The Wrong Comment Thread.
(Just in Case You’d Like To Cop & Paste it onto somewhere else….🤔🤔🤷♀️🤷♀️😁😁❤️❤️)
And they painted a mural with Floyd having wings and a halo ? Did I miss something or are angels committing armed robbery , counterfeiting and drug crimes ?
@Slowpoke Rodriguez agreed, that’s why people are celebrating the cops sentencing
* Tmiranda* 👍🏻👍🏻
@Lando the video where he says he cant breath before even getting cuffed, the video where he says he swallowed the dope. The Cop sucked no doubt about it. But MSM making this racial and The Patron Saint of Fentanyl George Floyd some type of Martyr for Socail Justice is laughable. For this clown to act like the world celebrated is laughable. In most countries guys like George would of been killed of long ago, especially after his home invasion that involved holding his gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach. Only Celebrating is by Leaders of Americas enemies, laughing at how easy it is to cause a civil war over junkies
@QuincyBear You probably could have used a few more name calling to show your bias but you made it pretty clear. Why do you bring up
George’s record but conveniently be leave out the cops? Notice how the only people who want a civil war are the people supporting the cop…? The irony with you people is hilarious. Cope harder 🤡
@Lando “The Cop sucked no doubt about it”. The irony of your low IQ is not surprising.
You also can’t have jurors coming out saying that they were afraid to leave and walk into riots. Did that make their decision? Justice should be served by the courts…not the political arena, and not through media!
EXACTLY!!
I’m Not Picking Sides, But This Case Had NO FAIR TRIAL!!
EVERYONE Had ALREADY Made Up Their Minds!!
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Shouldn’t have the city awarding the family millions of dollars before even the trial
When did this street thug become “PERRY?” First I heard that.
The trial that showed the world that american justice is ruled by the mob
@infi sorry but when morons riot and murder for a year and keep doing it during the trial there is nothing 50/50 about it. All it did was show the world that american justice is now controlled by the mob
@william hensley apology accepted, morons riot and loot because they’re morons, and they’ll keep doing it so long as there is oxygen in the air. One side believes the cop needs to be jailed and one side doesn’t 50/50 to me. The only factors are, Floyd payout, Chauvin setence. A man was killed, criminal or not, it deserves proper protocol. Floyd was a reputable felon, regardless of the fact he was a protected citizen who should have been put in jail until he rotted. Accidents happened and now consequences are here. Nothing in this world is free.
@william hensley they didn’t decide the case because of the riots or etc.. or because one side believes harder than the other; mob rule. Although it does exist i agree, but I disagree its existence under the judicial system.
@infi yeah and the moon is made of cheese as well
@william hensley sure, but not because of mob rule. You need to be better informed about things in life. It’s easier to live life when you can find the meaning of the sense.
Your client Sir was a THUG!!!!!
Too bad a corrupt
Cop murdered him or George would be on trial…but crooked cops are crooked cops
No, he was a saint. Saint floyd of fentanyl
@blue03r6 Sad….if he wasn’t murdered then he could’ve been prosecuted. But one officer decided to be judge, jury, and executioner
@Lando Saint Fetynal Floyd Sacrificed Himself as Crazy Nancy would say.
@Tim Tipton The sky is GREEN!
” they’re going to keep pushing and fighting” he is inciting violence!! They admit it
If we are all so bent on serving justice we need that same energy towards ghislaine maxwell
You’re the one making it a worldwide celebration…
@Larry Riha George Floyd the Patron Saint of Feytnal
@Larry Riha I know right, has this world gone mad? This is the twilight zone bro
@Slowpoke Rodriguez big time august Trump will be back stay safe
@Larry Riha you too bro and im in Texas so we good here. Fort Worth Cowtown homie
@Slowpoke Rodriguez sweet I’m in Seattle Washington
Immediately went straight to the comment section and I am not disappointed 😂
So funny! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
In other news the Ariana Grande and Weeknd Collab is lit AF 🔥
For you the super big payment was your motivation
They going to keep moving the justice goal post just enough so they don’t lose their victimhood status.
This wasn’t justice , the jury was scared to death , they knew their names would get out eventually and they’d be in danger.
That’s why it was so quick with no procedural questions for the judge.
I bet if he was not guilty and people said the jury were afraid of retaliating by a mob you’d be saying it’s wrong
@Hugh G Rection
blm made open threats if the jury didn’t give a murder conviction.
They also attacked the home (though they got the wrong house) of an expert witness for the defense.
Too much video evidence to overlook
@Tim Tipton
George was saying “I can’t breathe” before he started fighting with the cops , respiratory failure is what happens in a fentanyl overdose.
I believe Derek was guilty of manslaughter , not murder.
I know it doesn’t matter what I think.
@Tim Tipton true
Yep. It should be common.. I just sat and said ” umph” when i heard the verdict. It ain’t over
