What is felony murder? Officers in George Floyd case face charge used on gangs, drug dealers
The four officers involved in the death of George Floyd now face murder charges,
including an assertive prosecutorial tactic rarely deployed against police
defendants -- felony murder. MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports
on the charges and explains how “felony murder” operates, and interviews former
Federal Prosecutor Maya Wiley, who says prosecutors could win this case by
telling jurors “wearing blue is not a defense” and given the video, jurors
simply need to “believe your eyes.”

'Wounds exposed':
Civil Rights Leader condemns 'lynching' as four officers indicted for murder
Protests against police brutality in all fifty states around the country, amid
the global health pandemic, are showing glimpse of a tipping point. Reverend
William Barber tells MSNBC’s Ari Melber “the wounds are exposed,” referring to
“systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation before COVID” adding
they have been “exploited by the pandemic.” Barber adds the “lynching” of Floyd
also had “impact” as “death can spur” movements in history.
