A third witness is now being brought in.
The third witness of the day is Donald Williams, who has a place about a block away from Cup Foods. Williams has worked in private security for several years, from being bouncer to providing security for celebrities.
Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank is questioning Williams about martial arts background and experience working alongside MPD officers both when officers respond to an incident and when they work security while off-duty.

Hace días que leo, a raíz del asesinato de George #Floyd, afirmaciones que niegan la existencia de un componente #racista en este y otros hechos
No podemos comprender los hechos ni la reacción si aislamos el hecho del #racismo y la desigualdad

Se trata de un "igualismo" que centra todo en la maldad del ser humano y habla de violencia sin raza (lo que me recuerda mucho eso e que la violencia no tiene género)
Por supuesto, estos hechos tienen un componente de maldad, pero se dirigen a esa y no a otra víctima por #racismo

1/The history of protests for racial equality is intertwined with global history from post-WWII decolonization and civil rights to national self-determination and black power. Then and now, these are global movements, not simply local or national. nytimes.com/2020/06/06/wor…
2/ In 1930s, US black newspapers covered anti colonial struggles in Ethiopia. In 1940s: India. They had correspondents in Berlin, London, Delhi.
3/ The great sociologist Horace Cayton reported from Chicago, where he was working on the landmark book, Black Metropolis, that he heard “India discussed in poolrooms on South State Street...”
As a historian of social movements in the U.S., I am hard pressed to think of any time in the past when we have had two straight weeks of large-scale protests in hundreds of places, from suburbs to big cities. The breadth and scale of #Floyd protests is staggering.
We have had some huge one-day demonstrations, e.g. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963); antinuclear march in NYC (1982), and Women's March (2017). We have widespread, simultaneous protests, such as in the days following MLK, Jr.'s assassination (1968).
But the two together--very unusual.
#Facebook said it disrupted efforts by banned white nationalist groups to organize members to take up arms and target racial injustice marches like the demos protesting the death of George #Floyd

Although public health officials are warning about the dangers of a resurgence of #COVID19 caused by the mass gatherings to protest #Floyd’s death, many experts are noting that #racism and violence are public health issues, too. Here's a quote from @AliceOllstein. #WTHealth
#BREAKING Time has come to hold police accountable: Sharpton at Floyd memorial
Some 50,000 people demonstrated at a Black Lives Matter rally in Austria, one of a wave of global anti-racism protests sparked by the death of African American George #Floyd during his arrest

When the charge of third degree murder and the alternative charge of manslaughter were laid against #Chauvin, the @ACLU criticised the 3rd degree murder charge as being “legally defective.” #GeorgeFloyd
@ACLU highlighted: "Third Degree Murder applies only when the acts of the defendant were committed without regard to their effect on any particular person, and not when the actions were directed to a specific person." #GeorgeFloyd
@ACLU said since 1896 to present, Minnesota courts have repeatedly ruled that to support a charge of 3rd deg murder, the offender’s actions need to be ‘eminently dangerous to more than one person.’ #GeorgeFloyd
Dies sind die letzten Worte von George #Floyd, einem 46-jährigen Mann, der starb während ein Polizist ihn auf den Boden drückte und fast 9 Minuten lang auf seinem Nacken kniete, bis er erstickte (Thread)

El club compartió la carta de su mediocampista @JacoriHayes:
"Este es un ciclo vicioso. Una persona negra es asesinada a manos de un policía. Se produce indignación nacional. Un par de semanas después, todo vuelve a ser como era hasta que otra persona negra es asesinada."

Just watched the Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, Melvin Carter, eloquently describe the situation our country is faced with after the murder of Mr. George #Floyd.
Righteous indignation against police brutality but wholesale condemnation of rioting and destruction of communities by force of violence.
I am confident those responsible for Mr. Floyd’s murder will be brought to justice through the Rule of Law.
However, it is now time to bring the Rule of Law to bear on the rioters and agitators who are destroying communities and corrupting the tragedy of Mr. Floyd’s murder.

📜Dear Company Leaders - You might be shocked by #Floyd & the subsequent protests you saw in the US this week. I guarantee you not one of your Black employees is. So if you’re moved, angry, or concerned...good. USE THAT. Channel those emotions to propel you to action. A word.../1
Over the past few days, I’ve seen a flurry of corporate activity like tweets and donations to public causes. These external-facing displays of solidarity are great. Please keep them up. Please also know that they’re not sufficient for uplifting your Black employees./2
Racism isn’t just “out there” in police departments or rural Georgia. It’s hard wired into your organizational structures, team dynamics and individual employee experiences. How do I know? Because this is America./3
Thread: After covering civil unrest from US embassies in other countries, it has been sad to see past 72 hours. In trying to make sense of it all, here are things that I would have likely covered in a cable on #riots2020 #GeorgeFloydMurder
2 -The murder of #georgefloyd appears to be a Mohammad Bouazizi-type trigger that has affected the majority of the country and unleashed pent up anger from a significant portion of the populous.
3- It would be a mistake to discount those on streets to a small segment, grouping, or insignificant. The size, scale, & daring nature in almost ever major city highlight the level of anger. Also important to note it is taking place during pandemic-quarantine in most cities.

1/MN US Atty, FBI are investigating federal civil rights violation of #GeorgeFloyd. Some ask why no arrest yet. The answer - the statute is bad. It requires such overwhelming evidence as to make it almost impossible to prove, despite compelling video evidence.

2/ Statute, 18 USC 242, makes it a crime to deprive someone of constitutional rights under color of law. Elements are 1) victim lived in US, 2) def acted under color of law, such as police authority, 3) def’s conduct deprived victim of constitutional right, 4) def acted willfully
3/ Here, elements 1 and 2 are easily met, but 3 is a challenge, and 4 can be virtually impossible.
