Crowds march through the center of the city where george floyd died on monday the bystanders video showed him gasping for breath as a policeman knelt on these neck its the 3rd day of protests there. Well looking at some of the latest pictures of protesters gathering in the streets to show their displeasure over the death of george floyd theyre not the only place. That has seen of course thats pictures earlier from minneapolis at least one large store is a blaze and other fires are reported in the area the National Guard now being called into the city the mayor is declaring a local emergency for the next 72 hours on wednesday night stores were looted and buildings set ablaze lets bring you the latest pictures of whats happening right now in the city of denver start a 9 pm on thursday night a standoff with police there after a crowd stopped vehicles and block streets hundreds of protesters earlier marched on the states Capitol Building and the policemen involved in floyds death has been filed but many want them to Face Criminal Charges because rallies in los angeles and in new york protesters there clashed with police after gathering downtown ignoring coronavirus restrictions still in place in the city its only general for the district of minnesota has promised a robust and meticulous investigation into George Floyds death. We have been working on this case nonstop since we were notified. We understand the severity of the situation unfolding and it breaks my heart to see what is going on in our streets in minneapolis and in st paul and in some of our suburbs and i am pleading i am pleading with individuals. To remain calm and to let us conduct this investigation. Their behinds is a former Baltimore City prosecutor joins us now from baltimore in maryland good to have you with us so when you look at the video you might think ok this looks like a slam dunk case for a criminal prosecution does it work like that in court yes it definitely should work like that and what the problem is is that in america there are just 2 justices theres white face justice if theres black face justice i mean if this had been an africanamerican man not a Police Officer and it done the same thing even without a video he would be sitting in jail on arrested and a pending charges but because this involves a Police Officer because it involves white Police Officers its a whole nother story there is nothing more we saw basically a Mini Documentary a 10 minute many documentary of a man unfortunately lost his life by at the hands of Police Officers it was beautiful and it was inhumane and yes it was murder very disturbing pictures debbie youre a former Baltimore City prosecutor some curious to know when you say there are 2 justice systems in the u. S. How does it practically speaking work differently. Well its just its supposed to be blind and justice is not supposed to work differently it is supposed to work the same way whether youre white whether youre black where the a latino whether youre Asian American it doesnt matter what color you are but the reality is it works quite differently and theres a lot of 2nd guessing always in the cases a Police Officer is when its a black victim thats involved its a 2nd guessing what more do we need what maybe there was something that we didnt seen on the video its always looked at from the advantage of the perpetrator and not from the advantage of that from the point of view of the victim who was being choked to death for 10 minutes but just this is not supposed to work like that is supposed to be justice for all and that includes black americans showing that black lives to matter in this country how much of a difference do pictures like this make in taking pursuing action against the police. Well you know im disheartened when i hear that because in reality i think back to the case of walter scott the africanamerican who was shot in the back 9 or 10 times as he was pulling away from Police Officers in South Carolina that officer was arrested he was put on trial and that his 1st trial it was a hung jury which means a jury although they saw a video they saw in me of being shot in the back who was running away who was not a threat to the Police Officer the jury could not reach a verdict and that is what happens when i say there are 2 sides of justice in america so when any ordinary circumstance if you have a picture not even necessarily a video it would work that the person would be convicted of 1st degree murder for even less less than what we see on this video this video is outrageous. Show many viewers will absolutely agree with that does the liability of the Police Department increase by the fact that the officer who killed george floyd had 18 prior complaints filed against him and yet apparently was still out. You know doing his job. Right and then one of the other Police Officers who was of the 4 that the other 3 that restraining there he also had at least i believe 3 other arm he had 3 complaints against him and he was awful still working one of the officers had a civil suit that was settled for Excessive Force that was settled by the city and he was still working i mean thats just the problem is that the even though these officers were fired i think the same is that these officers can likely go to a nother jurisdiction and start working again and Police Officers thats the whole irony of the whole and they cannot work in minneapolis but they can work with him that his son army is and that sounds a lot that sounds a lot more than simply irony i mean how is it with a video like this i mean what im asking for is in your experience as a prosecutor because it sounds its mind boggling for viewers to understand how somebody who is seen kneeling on a man until he dies can go get a job as a Police Officer somewhere else i mean what practically happens in the prosecutions system that allows someone to continue to be a Police Officer after Something Like that and not even face charges well if that if the person is not incarcerated if charges are not dropped and the trial gets or not filed if theyre not found guilty of a criminal charge they have been officers who have gone i want to work in other jurisdictions no that should not happen in any real sense but that is what can happen when they are not come theyre not found guilty and theyre not serving a sentence in jail they can just move on to a nother to another position so you say it was a vacation and simply the word of the the officer in a situation like this would be give them much more weight than over any bystanders testimony if there was a video like this for example. No i think what happens in the case is and im hoping this case would be different but i had hoped that each and every case that scene would be different and it doesnt always turn out that way is that the officer is this script is flipped and so they are officer present sympathy they go out on the street every day and that their lives are in danger and there isnt anything that i can make any rational sense out of it for anyone because i dont find as a former prosecutor anything that makes brashness sense out of that whether it had been 10 seconds as it was in the case of air guard or whether it was 10 minutes thats in the case of george flu a murder is still murder i did convictions where someone would shoot a gun at someone 9 times in a matter of dying seconds and we were able to get on 1st degree murder because its premeditated when you go when and when a new one and take someones life and so i cant make it make sense other than to say its just pure unadulterated racism and thank you for coming and sharing your experience the behinds the former baltimore prosecutor thank you sami u. S. President donald trump has made his frustration with twitter official 50 signed an executive order aimed at stripping social media platforms of some Legal Protections especially if they remove or amend content on their sites comes after 2 of the president s tweets were labeled misleading she have written survivals from washington. Twitters placement of an exclamation mark and a suggestion that users get the facts about mail in voting after the president s unsubstantiated claims about the corruption of postal ballots have led to the executive order theres no president in American History for so small a number of corporations to control so large a sphere of Human Interaction therefore today abseiling executive order to protect it appalled the free speech rights of the American People however this is new crackdown instead there will be a review of section 230 of the Communications Decency act the prevents Internet Companies from being sued over content and hes calling for the federal Communications Commission trade commission and state attorneys to look at placing new rules on social Media Companies to control editing he says to protect free speech but the president does not have the Legal Authority to strike down section 230 and he may face resistance from the f. T. C. And f. C. C. Independent bodies that have been reluctant in the past to take on policing the internet it is talking about a review which implies a period of time its not clear how much of this is saber rattling right theres things you can do with an executive order those things you cant do there probably litigation if they did try to do an executive order this is a nuanced complex issue republicans complain about censorship on social media platforms democrats like House Speaker nancy pelosi speaking about facebook on thursday complain there isnt enough both have threatened similar legislation our Business Model is to misrepresent the facts and to be a platform and to do that and try to hide under freedom of speech which is of course a complete violation of everything and freedom of speech stands for both are also stepping into tricky territory about who decides what is acceptable and what isnt and the issue the framers of the constitution were clear about it should not be the government but should be the platforms themselves and i dont think facebook or. In general should be arbiters of truth i think thats kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of just citing what is or what is true and what isnt Civil Liberties advocates warn that private companies have their own commercial priorities and should not become gatekeepers of the truth facebook already censors content in consultation with governments around the world the company has been broken up so it does its utmost to keep local authorities happy and bipartisan support for doing just that has been growing if facebook and other platforms have less of a stranglehold over our daily discourse its argued limiting free speech on their sites may not be necessary she have a tendency aljazeera washington. Is a conservative commentator relax strategies a Political Consulting firm she says trump is trying hard to avoid being censored. So today we learned that in this executive order hes essentially trying to say that i have 1st amendment rights and as president already best me as president i can see these Companies Stop censoring people like me the average american so in a raid this is a really cute losing battle but its got so many layers and one thing is really very apparent here is that this executive order cannot cannot override something called section 2 parity which is our Communications Decency act and that was that in 1996 this was landmark legislation regarding the internet and this executive order that the president is assured cannot override it its really very big that the American People and internationally people recognize that and the phrase simple liberties rings true whether youre talking about twitter and the president or this Police Violence against people of a certain Race Ethnic Group it is it is a moment where i think we have to step back and think about what our Civil Liberties really need to as the interference of our state in private corporations in the minds of people like me and my neighbors this is a moment where we americans are feeling this could be could articulate genuinely of how we move the balance and function speak talk walk into our daily society so i think were are truly a fork in the road south korea has reported its biggest jump in crime to virus cases nearly 2 months prompting the government to reimpose some restrictions most of the 79. 00 infections with diagnosed in the council so public facilities including parks museums and state run fed his have been shot the measures will remain in place for the next 2 weeks from a crime isnt solved he says the government is concerned about the rise in cases just as it allowed businesses to resume. The latest figures show that there are 58 new cases thats a slight reduction on yesterdays figures but again most of these new cases associated with this one facility its a large Warehouse Distribution center and the government will be hoping that they have now brought this cluster under control several 1000 workers and their families were all identified as potentially being at risk and they have very quickly as they do here in south korea conducted several 1000 tests of basically eliminating people there coming back mainly as negative so they will be hoping that they have very quickly will identify anybody who has been infected but of course there is a concern about a wider spread to the community thats why youre seeing in the greater seoul metropolitan area the reimposition of some of these restrictions now on things like public venues on galleries museums which will have to stay closed for another 2 weeks and it also has led to some concerns about various businesses here in particular where housing the Ecommerce Companies because a big course they are all working flat out at the moment as people order their stuff online rather than going to high Street Stores and so there is concern about the kinds of conditions there whether they are too cramped and you have workers working in too close proximity so the government the authorities have ordered checks on those places weve had similar businesses such as cost centers were a cause for concern again the government 2 months ago started ordering checks on those businesses because you had to clusters are rising so it just shows the problems of as we enter this new normal the world of work how you restart an economy.
