In just a few moments on MSNBC, LDF President and Director-Counsel @Sifill_LDF will join @chrislhayes to discuss the immediate actions that must be taken to achieve #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd.

"The key here is that we’ve been around this circle before and the community is now educated around what should happen. First, we need transparency--we need all the information."--@Sifill_LDF

"Secondly...I’m very impressed with the mayor’s empathy..but I am also concerned about the police response to protestors and the talk about property damage...People are not patient and understandably so. They want justice."

"The City of Minneapolis has experienced these killings before and as a result, the [DOJ]...released a report that provided a whole set of recommendations...I’ve read the report...I see no evidence that the recommendations have actually been implemented..." --@Sifill_LDF

"This police department has a terrible record. The racial disparities in the use of force & police brutality are extraordinary...This is ripe for a DOJ pattern and practice investigation."

#GeorgeFloyd

"This officer has this incredibly long record of complaints. And that tells you that there is a structural problem within the police department as it relates to discipline and accountability." --@Sifill_LDF

#GeorgeFloyd

"It is also important to point out that it was almost a year ago to the day that the DOJ decided not to bring civil rights charges against the officer who killed Eric Garner...who we also saw on videotape."

"I have been calling for the release of the police incident report...We know this is important because it was vitally important in the case of Michael Slager...who gave an account of what happened in his encounter with #WalterScott that was quite different than the video."

#ICYMI: Last night, @Sifill_LDF joined @allinwithchris to outline the immediate steps that must be taken in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder.
