she knew daunte wright. when i heard that, this is how common place, in some lives, violence and death of loved ones is. she had worked at a school and daunte wright was a student there, and she knew him. and she was always george floyd's girlfriend. so she was invited as a guest. this isn't just sort of some public showing of solidarity. she knew the family and was invited to this funeral also. i mean, it just drives home the loss in some of these communities that have to deal with this all the time. >> it drives home how few degrees of separation there are between these communities and these families. and makes clear that this is -- this needs to be a national priority. you know, if you don't personally know the people involved, ask a couple of questions and you'll find out you do know somebody who does know them. that is, in fact, true. it's not going to be that hard to find. gwen carr, the mother of eric garner, who was killed in -- on the streets of new york in 2014 in a startlingly similar case where h

daunte wright is dead. and i just want you to reflect on what we saw yesterday, what we saw overnight and the entire reaction and explanation to this point. >> yeah. that's a really good question, john. but it's more than just daunte wright is dead. it's, you know, a father is dead, a son is dead, a nephew is dead, a young man who had 40, 50, 60 years in front of him is dead. and so, yeah, daunte wright's life was cut short for no reason. and even more importantly when you peel back the layer of this onion, the frustrating part if we're going to level set and keep it 100, john, as we always do is white folk who want to say, well, why didn't he comply? or he had misdemeanors. where none of those things are death penalty crimes. we feel like we have to go through this over and over again. you lose daunte and then they try to sully his name in death. you know, you think about what happened with our army lieutenant or with what happened with tamir rice. even if you comply or philando castile, you still don't ge

i'd like to first express my personal sympathies to the wright family on the death of dante wright yesterday afternoon. i think there's a lot of mothers out there that know that you shouldn't be able to worry about your son dying going to wash the car. now we have another name added to filand, george, dante. i express my deepest sympathies to the family knowing there's nothing that i can say to make this better or take this back. with an understanding there are things that we can do. the first is we can simply acknowledge that it doesn't need to be this way. we don't have to continue having these press conferences and having what may be a routine traffic stop in a 20-year-old dead a family devastated and a community on edge. so some of the things that we can do and we need to be clear about is this state, this community and this nation needs to have a place to grieve. to express in many places their anger that this continues to go on. their expectation that things needs to change. so our commitment of making sure that those that are exercising their first amendment rights and those that are

wright, daunte wright, who is 20 years old. the crowd is angry. they want the officer fired immediately. and earlier today, we heard the police chief say that there would be some sort of due process happening. the mayor said he supported fire ing the chief immediately. and they're saying daunte didn't get any due process so why should this officer? things are settling a little bit. it seems that the area right in front of the police department has been vacated and there are not as many people in the street now as there were hours ago. but people are still out here. they're not going home. over in this direction, you can see at this dollar tree store in the distance -- please give me a second, okay? over there, you can see people are going in and out of that store. can you get that shot? can you see that? that store has been looted now for the past couple of hours. people are walking through the parking lot with carts full of stuff. you can see people going in and out. let's let's focus on the police department. people will come seeing this happeni

let's bring in jeff storms, the attorneys for george floyd and daunte wright. thanks so much for joining us. i'll discuss the killing of daunte wright in just a moment but first the defense has launched its trial in the derek chauvin trial calling a use of force witness saying that chauvin was justified. what's your reaction to this day one of snm. >> i hope that use of force expert got paid a lot of money because i don't see how a credible lawyer could hire that expert again. we've watched real overs after real overs get up on the stand and say what happened was wrong and had no place in politician, so i just do not see how someone can actually get up there and say what that defense expert said. >> that witness painted a picture of how suspects on drugs may not necessarily feel pain, might have what he described as super human strength. how hard is it for the floyd family to hear testimony like that? >> well, i think that it's -- you know, it's just unbelievable. they don't believe it like anyone else, right? we obviously saw that george did not have super hum

wright's mother urged protesters to remain peaceful. and the white house is echoing that request saying there is no excuse for violence or looting. meanwhile, anne-marie, as you know, the derek chauvin trial is happening in minneapolis, yesterday, the defense asked that the jurors be sequestered so that their opinions would not be influenced with these ongoing protests, but a judge denied that request. anne-marie. >> laura podesta in new york, thank you, laura. >>> ahead on "cbs this morning," brooklyn city mayor mike elliott joins to us discuss the deadly shooting and the next steps into the investigation including why he says the officer who shot daunte wright should be fired. >>> the defense team for derek chauvin is expected to start calling witnesses today. the former minneapolis cop was charged with killing george floyd. yesterday, there was emotional testimony with floyd's brother, jamie yuccas is following the trial in minneapolis. >> that's my mother, with my older brother george. i miss both of them. >> reporter: heartbreaking

you attended daunte wright's funeral today. his family's attorney ben crump says the service sought to define wright's legacy. what do you hope his legacy will be? >> wolf, i was very fortunate to be in the numbers today at daunte's funeral. for me, it reenforced what we all heard about him. all of his family members talked about how much he was loved and how much he exuded love. everybody shared just how much he was the life of the party, how much his smile was just contagious and how bright his future was. i think his legacy is going to be that. i think his legacy is also going to be systemic change, because one thing we know for sure is that justice isn't just done in the courtroom. justice is systemic change, justice is passing the legislation that needs to be passed in the senate and signed by the president. justice also is local municipalities passing meaningful reform, changing how we do public safety and state governments once and for all passing meaningful reform. i think that's going to be daunte's legacy. >> were you

daunte wright's life mattered. daunte wright's life mattered. daunte wright's life mattered. katy, aubrey, our heart is broken with yours as we come to lay him to rest, but most importantly, we celebrate his life and we define his legacy. once more, daunte wright's life mattered! >> the woman wiping away tears right now is katy. that is daunte wright's mother. shaq, i know we're going to hear from her and other family members pretty soon in this funeral. talk to me about what you're hearing from the people outside who have gathered and what they want to do to make sure that this sort of thing stops, that daunte wright isn't just one person on an endless line of deaths that were completely unnecessary. >> outside of this church, it's mainly media presence. we know at the trial of derek chauvin, there was much media already, and that's where the focus has shifted today. it was brooklyn center police who shot daunte wright who was minneapolis police department who was responsible for -- or a minneapolis police officer who was responsible for the death of george floyd. just yeste
