EXCERPT:

WATERS: "I think that the officer who had his name on his neck enjoyed doing what he was doing. I believe sometime some of these offices leave alone thinking I'm going to get me one today. And I think this is his one that he got today. And he didn't care whether or not anybody was photographing him, he did what he was doing and the officers who stood there and watched him are just as guilty as he is, and I'm glad that all of them were fired. If in fact you have subdued a suspect that -- and you're -- you're not in any danger at all because the handcuffs are on him, there's no reason for the police to do what this police did. And they don't even mention in the report that the knee was on the neck of -- of George Floyd. You give them the right they would say to shoot you if you interfere with an arrest. And so it is dangerous and citizens are doing the best job that they could do by photographing it. They're photographing, they're showing what is taking place, and what we're finding is that the justice system does not work. Because the justice system will find a way to protect those offices in most cases. They will find justifiable homicide. And that's what we've got to deal with. We've got to deal with the fact that we're in America with a justice system that does not work for everybody."
