ng. But at least those professionals, I thought, really should make you proud as an American. The judge and both of the attorneys should make you proud.

There's some more good news. The Perseverance rover up there on Mars just turned some carbon dioxide into oxygen. Did I mention on Mars? This is one of those stories where it's so mind-bogglingly awesome that there's nothing you can say about it except say it twice. The United States just put some hardware on Mars that turned carbon dioxide into oxygen on Mars. This was after testing out their flying helicopter on Mars. It's like anything that ends with "on Mars" just still impresses me. I hope I never get bored by any of this stuff.

Well, of course the big story is you all saw that as soon as we thought we were over with the George Floyd stuff, there's a 16-year-old young woman who got shot and killed by police. Now if you saw the video, and assuming that there's nothing we didn't see on the video that maybe this is the one time video tells us what really happened because video could be quite misleading, we know, but it looked pretty clear. And to me it looked like a case of excellent police work.

Now of course it was widely misreported by the illegitimate news that a policeman killed a woman for no reason. Some of the reporting was that the knife was already on the ground. I'm basically completely misreported. But now we know from the video that the police officer not only did something that seems clearly within the rules of engagement but really, really good police work.

So here's my question. Why isn't he being put up for a commendation? Because I get that the public is really mad at this police officer, but his bosses, his supervisors, they've seen the video. They know that what he did wasn't just ordinary police work. It was really good police work. As in, if I could hire that cop for my police force, I'd want that cop. That was a split-second, put his own life on the line because we've all seen the George Floyd trial, right? If you make a mistake in this context, you're going to jail. This cop put his life completely on the line. Derek Chauvin is now in a 7 by 10 concrete cell 23 hours a day for who knows how long. This cop took that risk and took one shot — I think it was one shot and was accurate and saved a life.

So I feel as if his supervisors — I know that they're going to take a lot of heat and he's getting doxxed and all kinds of things, but that shouldn't stop you from putting him in for a commendation. Somebody says it was four shots, but it certainly accomplished what he was trying to accomplish. So although you could argue that four is too many, we'll probably hear that argument. But it does seem to me that if what we saw on the video is accurate and there's nothing else that we're missing, I don't know why he's not being put in for a commendation. And I feel like his supervisors owe him that as just a little bit of counter-persuasion in the context of everybody blaming him for being a murderer, basically. So I feel like that would be fair.

Now if there's something we don't know about the story, that would be the usual situation. And by tomorrow everything we know may be backwards. So keep an open mind that we might not know everything about this, even though it looks exactly like we know everything about this. How many times have we been fooled when we thought we knew everything about a situation? So don't be fooled.

The biggest news on social media, and it's quite a jaw-dropper, and this should tell you everything you need to know about the state of corporate news, is that it was a big story that Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo told
