All right, thank you very much, Koop. I appreciate it. I am Chris Pormo and welcome to prime time. So,

0:05.7

here we are trying to figure out what comes next. You had the verdict yesterday. And we do see some

0:12.8

different developments already. We know that the Department of Justice under the care of Merrick

0:18.9

Garland, that they are going to open up an investigation into policing in Minnesota. Okay? What are

0:26.2

they looking at? Well, the obvious does that police force have a pattern of excessive force

statement on how George Floyd died. Remember, the police initially called this a health incident.
