Michelle it's good to have you here tonight. Obviously, this is just an awful story from beginning to end right now today, charges for Derek Chauvin, a former police officer. Your thoughts on what we've seen so far today. Well you know Martha, it's very reminiscent of what I saw happening in Baltimore in 2015 during the Freddie Gray trial. And, look, I understand a lot of people are watching what's happening in Minneapolis and they're very shocked, some of them are very older. And some of the looting and the violence that we are seeing. However, I think that this conversation goes a little bit deeper. That this trauma that you see in the African-American community are being expressed right now it's not as a result of police brutality. It's a result for year over year racial injustice and discrimination.
And I see what was similar to Freddie Gray, is also a shot you can see George Floyd somewhat in a similar position that Freddie Gray was when he when he died seven days later after he was put in the back of that van. I think charges that have come from your district attorney are pretty much to pacify the protesters and pacify those of us that are wanting to see a stiffer charges. Why? Because it took what four days or 72 hours. And he - and even during the press conference when he said he's been charged with murder and manslaughter, he did not say third-degree murder. It was a reporter that actually had to ask him that, and he knew that charge of third-degree murder was a slap in their face.
