His death has incited protests and some violent riots across the state. Patrice Andrews said the officer who pinned down Floyd would "not have worked for my agency."

ON THE LOWER SIDE FLOODING THREAT, SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. >>> MINNESOTA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS THAT HE EXPECTS THERE WILL BE CHARGES FILED AGAINST THE FOUR OFFICERS INVOLVED IN GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH. HE SAID THAT DURING AN INTERVIEW ON CNN. KEITH SAID HE HOPES THOSE CHARGES WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON. AND HE EXPECT TO HEAR FROM MINNESOTA GOVERNOR LATER THIS MORNING. HE WILL BE SPEAKING AT 11:00 OUR TIME. BACK TO YOU. >>> WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS BREAKING NEWS FOR HOURS NOW. PROTESTS OVER VIOLENT ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN POLICE AND AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE BREAK ING OUT ACROSS THE NATION. THIS IS VIDEO OF ONE OF DOZENS OF BUILDS SET ON FIRE OVERNIGHT AS PROTESTS CONTINUED FOR A THIRD DAY. 500 NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS HAVE ARRIVED ON SCENE TO HELP LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS GET THINS UNDER CONTROL. THE CITY'S MAYOR SAID HE REALIZES MANY OF THE PROTESTS IN THE CITY HAVE REMAINED PEACEFUL BUT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE. >> WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING OUT FOR OUR CITY RIGHT NOW. IT IS NOT JUST ENOUGH TO DO THE RIGHT THING YOURSELF. WE NEED TO BE MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF US ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, TO MAKE SURE WE ARE HOLDING UP THE HIGHEST IDEALS WE STANDBY. >> PROTESTERS IN OTHER CITIES ALSO TOOK TO THE STREETS TO CALL FOR JUSTICE IN FLOYD'S DEATH. PEOPLE GATHERING IN LARGE NUMBERS. IN NORTH CAROLINA WE LEARN ADD PROTEST IS PRO -- IS PLANNED FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON. >> SHE ENDED THAT TWEET WITH A HASH TAG I AM TIRED. WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER JOINING US BY PHONE NOW TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT TWEET. GOOD MORNING TO YOU, CHIEF ANDREWS. >> GOOD MORNING. I HOPE YOU ARE WELL. >> I AM TO DOING OKAY. I THINK WE ARE ALL REALLY STUNNED BY ALL THIS. I HOPE YOU CAN SHARE MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU MEANT DISTINGUISHING POLICING AS EITHER A CALLING ORCA REAR. >> YEAH, SO -- A CAREER IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO TO EARN LIVING, RIGHT? A COO REAR IS SOMETHING WHETHER WE LEAK IT OR WHETHER -- LIKE IT OR NOT WE DO IT TO EARN A LIVING. A CALLING IS SOMETHING INSIDE OF YOU. IT IS MORE CONNECTED WITH YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR PURPOSE AND YOUR PASSION. THE WAY I FEEL IS WHEN IT IS A CALLING YOU ARE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU SERVE WITH AND THE PEOPLE YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF PROTECTING. SO FOR ME THAT IS WHERE THAT TWEET CAME FROM. CLEARLY, THESE OFFICERS -- DID NOT -- THEY LOOKED T -- THEY LOOKED AT WHAT THEY WERE DOING AS A CAREER TO MAKE MONEY BUT NOT NECESSARILY TO TAKE CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE. >> SEEING THE OUT RAEJ IN MINNEAPOLIS, THE FIRES, THE CHAOS IN THESE CITIES, HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOUR JOB HARDER IN TERMS OF WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT AND HOW PEOPLE THEN VIEW YOUR OFFICERS AT YOUR DEPARTMENT? >> IT DOES -- THE WORK THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO, DON'T DO AND WILL EVEN DON'T DO AFTER THIS, IT DOES MAKE IT HARDER FOR YOU BECAUSE PEOPLE -- LAW ENFORCEMENT -- THEY VIEW LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LUMP EVERYONE KIND OF IN THE SAME -- GROUP, RIGHT? SO WHEN ONE DOES BAD, IT REFLECTS POORLY UPON THE PROCESSION. WHAT I HAVE TOLD MY OFFICERS IS THAT -- YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON THAT. THAT YOU HAVE THE KEEP PUSHING FORWARD AND PLEDGE TO DOING GOOD THINGS EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND HOLDING EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE. >> I AM GOING TO ASK YOU A -- QUICK QUESTION. WE ONLY HAVE TEN SECONDS. SEEING THE TACTIC OF THAT MAIN OFFICER IN THAT VIDEO PUTTING HIS KNEE ON -- FLOYD'S NECK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IS THIS A TACTIC THAT YOU WOULD APPROVE? IS THIS A TACTIC YOU -- USE? >> ABSOLUTELY NOT. ABSOLUTELY NOT. THE TACTIC OF MURDER IS -- IS NOT -- NOWHERE IN ANY OF OUR POLICIES. >> CHIEF ANDREWS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING
