1
00:00:01,268 --> 00:00:04,271
Hammond, thanks very much
and really good luck to you.

2
00:00:04,338 --> 00:00:07,207
>> Thank you very much for
having me.

3
00:00:07,274 --> 00:00:10,577
>> It continues to be a
tough week for a Madison

4
00:00:10,644 --> 00:00:13,080
community and the city's
police department. After a

5
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:15,916
deadly police shooting in a
neighborhood where it has

6
00:00:15,983 --> 00:00:19,052
happened before, some
public events are on hold

7
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:22,956
and parts of one community
remain shut down "Here&

8
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:25,792
Now". Reporter Murv Seymour
takes us to the front line

9
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:28,595
with details.
>> We are going to scream

10
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:31,999
his name, justice for,
justice for.

11
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:36,603
>> For more than a week and
counting, echoes of anger

12
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:39,306
and frustration continue to
ring out in and around the

13
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:41,608
East Side neighborhood,
where Corey Ruiz was shot

14
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:44,111
and killed during a scuffle
with four Madison police

15
00:00:44,178 --> 00:00:46,647
officers.
>> This is not a time to be

16
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:48,715
uncouth. This is a time to
come together and be

17
00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:49,917
neighbors.
>> The high profile

18
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:52,186
shooting is in the early
phases of being

19
00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:54,354
investigated by the state
Department of Justice,

20
00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:56,290
overseen by Attorney
General Josh Kaul.

21
00:00:56,356 --> 00:00:59,126
>> It started as just
someone came and painted on

22
00:00:59,193 --> 00:01:01,628
the road, and flowers and
candles were placed there.

23
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:03,931
And then it eventually
started to grow.

24
00:01:03,997 --> 00:01:06,300
>> This 12 foot tall
traveling monument

25
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:09,536
represents outrage and
solidarity against police

26
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:12,039
brutality. First set up in
Minneapolis after George

27
00:01:12,105 --> 00:01:14,675
Floyd was murdered by
Minneapolis police officer,

28
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:17,945
the raised fist now sits in
the center of the street at

29
00:01:18,011 --> 00:01:20,714
a popular intersection in
Madison. It's the very spot

30
00:01:20,781 --> 00:01:23,350
where Corey Ruiz deadly
encounter with police was

31
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:27,154
caught on cell phone video,
sparking national attention,

32
00:01:27,221 --> 00:01:29,690
outrage and the nation's
most known civil rights

33
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:32,492
attorney, Benjamin Crump,
to come to Madison to

34
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:35,195
represent the family.
>> I love this city and I

35
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:38,265
love these people. And this
is this is awful.

36
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:40,467
>> Natalie Love Church
lights, candles, others

37
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:43,770
bring cards, some place
flowers. Most everyone

38
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:46,874
takes a moment to pause and
process what's happening

39
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:50,210
here. Natalie tells me
she's come to pay her

40
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:53,447
respects and to demand
accountability.

41
00:01:53,514 --> 00:01:56,450
>> Justice looks like
there's a system that's in

42
00:01:56,517 --> 00:01:59,953
place, a justice system in
place. And this was not it.

43
00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:02,589
Accountability needs to be
taken and justice for this

44
00:02:02,656 --> 00:02:05,459
poor person. I don't care
if he was guilty as hell. I

45
00:02:05,526 --> 00:02:09,263
don't care if this was not
it. This was not justice.

46
00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:12,599
>> What started out as a
memorial has morphed into a

47
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:16,436
movement to help those who
are a lot like Corey Ruiz,

48
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:19,039
unhoused and in need of
mental health and social

49
00:02:19,106 --> 00:02:22,309
services support, Jazzman
Brown tells me. At last

50
00:02:22,376 --> 00:02:25,512
count, nearly 50 tents have
been provided, allowing

51
00:02:25,579 --> 00:02:28,482
some to camp out on the
streets. A temporary fix to

52
00:02:28,549 --> 00:02:32,319
a complex housing problem,
a touch of comfort and hope

53
00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:35,923
to a community that needs
it now more than ever.

54
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:38,625
>> We all know that he was
homeless and that he had

55
00:02:38,692 --> 00:02:41,662
his struggles. And how
could we not, you know, in

56
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:44,498
the place where he was
killed, in the neighborhood

57
00:02:44,565 --> 00:02:49,236
where homelessness is so
high, help those that, you

58
00:02:49,303 --> 00:02:52,606
know, were in the exact
same situation he was. So

59
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:55,642
we've built a space for
everyone.

60
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:58,111
>> One of the lead
organizers of this space,

61
00:02:58,178 --> 00:03:00,147
Lorien Carter, says if
there's one thing this

62
00:03:00,214 --> 00:03:03,350
memorial represents, it's
hope.

63
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:05,853
>> This is affecting all of
us. This is something

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,225
that's in your backyard and
a proximity to to whiteness

65
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:14,161
doesn't equal immunity.
We've seen it in real time

66
00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:19,032
now. And so I think that, I
think that the country has

67
00:03:21,235 --> 00:03:24,104
to acknowledge that there
is a race problem.

68
00:03:24,171 --> 00:03:26,206
>> She and others want the
police officer to be

69
00:03:26,273 --> 00:03:28,575
charged with murder, which
will ultimately be the

70
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:31,078
decision of the Dane County
District attorney once the

71
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:33,881
DOJ completes its
investigation.

72
00:03:33,947 --> 00:03:37,217
>> Please stop telling us
to heal. When you keep

73
00:03:37,284 --> 00:03:40,387
reopening the same wounds.
>> The police shooting of

74
00:03:40,454 --> 00:03:43,290
Corey Ruiz opens old wounds
for Laurean and others.

75
00:03:43,357 --> 00:03:46,460
Just over ten years ago,
just a few blocks from here,

76
00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:50,097
a Madison police officer
shot and killed unarmed

77
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:53,233
nephew Tony Robinson.
>> Yeah, but I have a right

78
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:55,502
to be here. Just like you
do, man.

79
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:58,305
>> But you have a right to
peacefully protest

80
00:03:58,372 --> 00:04:00,107
somewhere else. Though this
is not this place is not

81
00:04:00,174 --> 00:04:02,442
for that.
>> The sense of peace here

82
00:04:02,509 --> 00:04:04,444
was briefly interrupted
over Mike Weber's right to

83
00:04:04,511 --> 00:04:06,079
support the Madison Police
Department. Weber tells me

84
00:04:06,146 --> 00:04:09,049
he also wants
accountability.

85
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:15,589
way or the other. You know,
if when the results of the

86
00:04:15,656 --> 00:04:19,693
investigation come in, I
might change my mind. I

87
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,565
don't know, but but I want
to see people be cool until

88
00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:28,869
that happens.
>> What do we want? Justice.

89
00:04:28,936 --> 00:04:31,738
When do we want it? Now.
What do we want?

90
00:04:31,805 --> 00:04:34,808
>> For the second time in
just over a week,

91
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:36,543
protesters marched to the
state Capitol, taking their

92
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:38,745
battle to the heart of
Madison.

93
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:41,248
>> This is about how Black
people have been treated by

94
00:04:41,315 --> 00:04:43,717
this country and by this
state.

95
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:46,553
>> Where they continue to
interrupt daily routines

96
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:49,556
with a loud and clear
message. Back at the Corey

97
00:04:49,623 --> 00:04:52,359
Ruiz Memorial, this small
section of community works

98
00:04:52,426 --> 00:04:55,529
to get back to normal,
what's normal, and just how

99
00:04:55,596 --> 00:04:59,833
long it takes to get there
is anybody's guess.
