An unconventional occurrence transpired during a celebratory Juneteenth event at the White House recently. The event saw the aging 81-year-old President, Joe Biden, unexpectedly holding a fixed, statuesque position during a soulful gospel music performance delivered by the renowned Kirk Franklin. This incident, swiftly propelled into social media's viral cyclone, elicited mocking laughter at the President's expense, and has raised another wave of serious doubts concerning Biden's suitability for the demanding role, largely due to his advanced years. The recorded video of the event paints a starkly contrasting picture between the lively attendees and the inert figure of President Biden. He was standing alongside Vice President Kamala Harris and Philonise Floyd, the brother of the late George Floyd. There, amid the entrancing rhythm of Franklin's song and amidst the responsive crowd, Biden's immobility shone with unmistakable clarity. The silence lasted for a significant stretch of time, approximately 30 seconds to be precise, during which President Biden seemed to be completely detached from his surroundings. This conspicuous departure from the enthusiastic ambiance wasn't overlooked. Philonise Floyd, in a bid to perhaps break the icy stillness, reached out his arm and bumped fists with the President. This strange episode, arguably reflective of Biden's advancing age, could be interpreted as another addition to the mounting evidence of his seemingly absent engagement in official White House events. His tendency to appear mentally adrift during such important public appearances is causing concerned murmurs about his ability to effectively manage the strains inherent to arguably the most critical role in the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Joe Biden will deliver his second State of the Union address on Tuesday to a joint session of Congress--and the stakes are extremely high. White House Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre joins Joy Reid to discuss. Plus, following the death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of police last month, there has been a renewed push from Democrats to resume stalled police reform efforts such as the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and her guest for the State of the Union address, Philonise Floyd, brother of George Floyd, join The ReidOut on how they hope President Biden and other Democrats will bring police reform to fruition. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Former Minneapolis police officers Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane were found guilty of violating George Floyd's civil rights by a federal jury in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Thursday.The 12 jurors -- four men and eight women -- found Lane, Kueng and Thao guilty of depriving Floyd of his civil rights by showing deliberate indifference to his medical needs as former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd for more than 9 minutes on May 25, 2020, ultimately killing him. The jurors also found Thao and Kueng guilty of an additional charge for failing to intervene to stop Chauvin. Lane, who did not face the extra charge, testified that he asked Chauvin twice to reposition Floyd while restraining him but was denied both times.Violating a person's civil rights "is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any," according to the Department of Justice. Federal sentencing guidelines suggest the officers could receive a lesser sentence.The three men remain free on bond and are expected to start pre-sentencing proceedings next week.The charges stemmed from the officers' actions -- or lack thereof -- as Chauvin pressed his knee into the neck and back of Floyd, who was handcuffed and lying on his stomach on the pavement. Kueng and Lane, both rookie officers, held down Floyd's torso and legs, respectively, while Thao stood nearby and kept a crowd of upset bystanders back."This is just accountability, it can never be justice because I can never get George back," Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, said in a news conference Thursday evening.The case quickly gripped the nation's attention two years ago when a bystander's video showed Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck as the 46-year-old Black man pleaded he couldn't breathe. Floyd's last words became a rallying cry during a summer of global protests against police brutality and racial injustice."Today closes another important chapter in our journey for justice for George Floyd and his family," the Floyd legal team, including attorney Ben Crump, said in a statement after the verdict on Thursday. They added that the verdicts should serve as an example of why police departments "should expand and prioritize instruction on an officer's duty to intervene and recognize when a fellow officer is using excessive force."Attorney General Merrick Garland said the verdict "recognizes that two police officers violated the Constitution by failing to intervene to stop another officer from killing George Floyd, and three officers violated the Constitution by failing to provide aid to Mr. Floyd in time to prevent his death," in a statement Thursday."George Floyd should be alive today," Garland added.Chauvin was convicted last spring of murder and manslaughter in a state trial and was sentenced to more than 22 years in prison. Lane, Kueng and Thao, will face a state trial in June on charges of aiding and abetting in the killing, which was pushed back so the federal proceedings could take place first. They have pleaded not guilty to those charges."We hope, and we expect, that these officers will once again be held accountable for their lack of humanity," the Floyd legal team said in their statement Thursday.As part of a plea agreement, Chauvin pleaded guilty in December to the federal civil rights charges related to Floyd's death and the restraint of a teenager in a separate incident. He now faces between 20 and 25 years in prison. Prosecutors requested that he be sentenced to 25 years in prison, to be served concurrently with the sentence from his state trial.What prosecutors had to proveAt the start of deliberations, the judge instructed jurors that to find the three officers guilty of violating Floyd's rights, they had to find that Floyd had "an objectively serious medical need," that the defendants knew about it and disregarded that need "by failing to take...

A Minneapolis judge on Friday sentenced former police officer Derek Chauvin, for the murder of George Floyd last May, to 22.5 years in prison—a rare event in the nation's criminal justice system, and one that many will regard as the end of a gruesome chapter in the American story. "I begged for justice for my brother, some kind of accountability," Philonise Floyd, George Floyd's brother, said in a press conference after the sentence was passed.

May 25th marked a year since the world watched the killing of George Floyd. His name and the video of his death reignited a reckoning with systemic racism.

BIDENMANIA… ÇA SE COMPLIQUE ! – 26/05/21 INVITÉS CORENTIN SELLIN Historien spécialiste des États-Unis Chroniqueur – « Les Jours » NICOLE BACHARAN Politologue spécialiste des États-Unis SONIA DRIDI - En direct de Washington Correspondante aux États-Unis Auteure de « Joe Biden, le pari de l'Amérique anti-Trump » PIERRE LE MANH – En direct de New-York Directeur général Ispos Amérique du Nord Après un début de mandat sans accroc, l'équation se complique pour Joe Biden et son administration vient de reconnaître un important revers sur la question de la fiscalité internationale. La semaine dernière, Washington avait pourtant déjà fait un pas en arrière dans ce dossier, indiquant qu'il acceptait un taux plancher de taxation des multinationales à 15 %. Un objectif moins ambitieux que celui de 21 % présenté en avril dernier, sur lequel néanmoins un consensus commençait à se dessiner au sein du G7. Mais c'était sans compter sur l'Irlande qui hier a jeté un froid en rejetant la proposition américaine. Car si le pays ne fait pas partie du G7, avec un taux d'imposition à 12,5 %, il attire de nombreuses grandes entreprises du monde entier, et est un acteur-clé dans les négociations qui se déroulent actuellement sous l'égide de l'Organisation pour la coopération et le développement économique (OCDE). Parallèlement le conflit israélo-palestinien est venu bousculer la stratégie du président américain qui voulait concentrer ses forces sur la principale menace, la Chine, et se tenir prudemment en retrait des dossiers sur lesquels butent les Etats-Unis depuis des années : Afghanistan, dénucléarisation de la Corée du Nord, résolution du conflit israélo-palestinien. Mais, suite à la montée dramatique des violences entre l'Etat hébreu et le Hamas, qui contrôle Gaza, ces dernières semaines, Joe Biden est pressé par l'aile progressiste du parti démocrate de revoir la politique traditionnelle de soutien des États-Unis à Israël pour prendre plus en considération la cause palestinienne. Sur le front intérieur, face à l'opposition du camp républicain, le président américain a également dû lâcher du lest et présenter un plan d'infrastructures raboté de 600 milliards de dollars pour rallier des sénateurs républicains à sa cause. Néanmoins le nouveau locataire de la Maison-Blanche jouit toujours d'une excellente popularité, en hausse de 2 % par rapport à fin mars, à 63 %. Par ailleurs, 96 % des démocrates seraient satisfaits de ses actions. Et sur la question de la gestion de la pandémie, c'est même un véritable plébiscite puisque 71 % des sondés estiment que le pays tient le bon bout grâce notamment à la politique menée par son administration. Pour autant, de nouveaux défis s'annoncent. Le taux de vaccination, s'il est plutôt haut, ralentit dans le pays. Beaucoup d'Américains aujourd'hui s'interrogent ou semblent encore hésitants. De même, la question du retour au travail se pose, alors que le pays semble sur le point de s'ouvrir. Enfin, la question des violences policières, très clivante aux Etats-Unis, reste au cœur du débat. Mardi, la famille de George Floyd a appelé le Congrès américain à voter une vaste loi sur la réforme de la police pour « protéger les personnes de couleur », à l'issue d'une rencontre hautement symbolique à la Maison-Blanche avec Joe Biden, un an après la mort du quadragénaire afro-américain sous le genou d'un policier blanc. « Si vous pouvez faire une loi fédérale pour protéger un oiseau, le pygargue à tête blanche, vous pouvez faire une loi fédérale pour protéger les personnes de couleur », a lancé l'un de ses frères, Philonise Floyd, en référence à l'aigle mascotte des Etats-Unis. Mr. Biden « veut que la loi soit juste, qu'elle ait du sens et qu'elle garde intact l'héritage de George », a assuré le neveu de George Floyd, Brandon Williams. Mais pour l'instant, le texte soutenu par le président américain, déjà voté par la Chambre basse, reste bloqué au Sénat. Néanmoins Joe Biden s'est dit « optimiste » sur la possibilité d'aboutir prochainement à un accord.

On the first anniversary of George Floyd's death, Don starts the show by reflecting on where the U.S. stands after its year of racial reckoning. He shares a statement from Darnella Frazier, the teenager who recorded Floyd's murder, as well as progress on the George Floyd Policing Act. Don also points out that, despite the reckoning, it still took the GOP 5 days to call out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's anti-Semitic comments.  Don is then joined by Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Andrew McCabe and Senior Legal Analyst Laura Coates to explore the facts and implications of the Washington Post's report that the Manhattan DA convened a grand jury to consider potential charges in an investigation into the Trump Organization. Later, CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig and CNN Legal Analyst Carrie Cordero go deeper into the likelihood of a Trump indictment.    Director of the Domestic Policy Council Susan Rice shares why she's optimistic about the George Floyd Police Act's eventual passage, and whether she thinks working across the aisle is possible. George Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, and Floyd family attorney Ben Crump also join Don to discuss the Floyd family's visit to the White House and the implications that Floyd's death had on the nation.  Political analyst Amanda Carpenter and CNN Sr. Political Analyst, Kirsten Powers discuss the political implications of the Manhattan DA's investigation, as well as how the GOP's silence on Rep. Taylor Greene's anti-Semitic comments showcases Trump's power over Republican leaders.   Next, Executive Director of the USC Shoah Foundation Stephen D. Smith explains why Rep. Taylor Greene's comments comparing House mask rules to the Holocaust are dangerous and a “willful manipulation” and misuse of history for political ends.  Amid U.S. health leaders' calls for an investigation into an investigation into the origins of COVID-19, Thomas Bollyky, Director of the Global Health Program at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Don to explore the questions around the unknown and explains why he believes it's essential to launch a thorough investigation in China.   Finally, exploring the resistance to the defunding the police as violent crime spikes across America. CNN Security Correspondent Josh Campbell reports.   To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

People across the United States are marking one year since the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police. Floyd was killed by then-police officer Derek Chauvin, who held his knee on the unarmed black man's neck for nearly nine minutes - an event which was captured on video. Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslughter in April 2021 and is set to be sentenced in June. A crowd is gathering right now at the scene of the murder - which is now called George Floyd Square. Former US president Barack Obama tweeted today that "More people in more places are seeing the world more clearly than they did a year ago." The family of George Floyd will meet US president Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris today. His brother Philonise Floyd told CNN the day was a chance to acknowledge those who had supported the family and honoured the memory of George. Marc Morial is the President and chief executive of the National Urban League, a historic civil rights and advocacy organisation in the United States.

Guests discuss two history-making events of the past week: Emmett Till's cousin Deborah Watts talks about the significance of Derek Chauvin's murder convictions, and scholar Ömer Taşpınar unpacks the significance of President Joe Biden recognizing the Armenian genocide.At a press conference following the Chauvin verdict, Philonise Floyd invoked the memory of 14-year-old Till—whose kidnapping, torture, and lynching animated the civil rights movement—by calling him the "first George Floyd."Watts, the co-founder of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, welcomed that comparison."We had spent some time together a few days before that," Watts recalled in an interview. "And I believe that just in sharing that bond, we were able to embrace and just understand each other's journey and pain, in sharing the story of Emmett Till."She talks on the show about Till, Floyd, lynching and her foundation's push to prosecute the 66-year-old case.Taşpınar, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the book “What the West Is Getting Wrong about the Middle East,” explains why Turkey resists accepting the Armenian genocide—and why the United States has been so slow to officially recognize it.Listeners can learn more about the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation here at https://emmetttilllegacyfoundation.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As crowds gathered Tuesday evening after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd, two themes emerged. Many expressed joy and relief for the verdict delivered by the 12-person jury. But they also said the work isn't over, and the national debate over police violence and accountability can't end with a single criminal trial.That message was also shared by the White House and Vice President Harris. On Wednesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the Justice Department is opening an investigation into possible patterns of discrimination and excessive force within the Minneapolis Police Department. And lawmakers in Congress are renewing a push for a police reform act that bears George Floyd's name. For the last eleven months, one of the loudest voices demanding justice for George Floyd — insisting that the country and the world not forget him — has been his brother, Philonise Floyd.

Coverage of the Derek Chauvin murder trial was overshadowed Monday by statewide updates regarding the fatal police shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in nearby Brooklyn Center Sunday afternoon. The young black man was stopped by police for a traffic violation; within moments he was shot and killed. While an investigation is underway, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon says the officer on duty accidentally drew and fired her gun when she meant to reach for her taser. “This appears to me - from what I viewed and the officer's reaction and distress immediately after - that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in a tragic death of Mr. Wright,” said Gannon.Multiple elected officials expressed frustration at yet another life lost to law enforcement.St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter says police violence needs to be tackled head on - not just in the police departments, but at the city and state levels."We have to know that Daunte Wright will not be the last name, will not be the last hashtag on this list, until and unless we take decisive and urgent action to ensure that he is,” said Carter.Meanwhile the brother of George Floyd took the stand to give what's called “spark of life testimony,” meant to humanize the victim. Philonise Floyd's testimony took jurors back to George's childhood. He shared photos of George as a young boy and told jurors how much he loved his mother.“He would just lay up on her in the fetus position like he was still in the womb,” said Floyd. “And I'd say ‘Perry' - because we called him Perry instead of George - and he would always say ‘Hold on, let me kiss momma before I come over there.'”The defense declined cross-examination.Georgia Fort reporting for the Racial Reckoning project
