Free. One year of. A new era for space travel is to nasa astronauts on their mission to the International Space station. Im Richelle Carey this is aljazeera bringing you continued coverage of the unrest and United States over the death of an unarmed black man in minneapolis and Police Custody for a 4th day there have been violent protests across the country from new york to los angeles right now night has fallen all across the country in a curfews are being in force and more than a dozen cities. Portland denver among those were strict on Peoples Movement and minneapolis Officials Say they have succeeded now in stopping the violence the governor mobilized the states entire National Guard for the 1st time. Minnesotas history earlier scuffles broke out between police and protesters in new york where protests went on late into the night at least 2 police cars were set on fire thousands of people have demonstrated outside the City Supreme Court on the Brooklyn Bridge and outside a sports arena police cars have been set on fire in miami as well and protests there turned violent officers responded with tear gas and protests are continuing into the night in los angeles where some people have looted stores and fires Peaceful Demonstrations were held earlier and the day lets go to our rob reynolds covering all this for us in los angeles so rob its about 10 pm west coast time this is a pretty massive fire that were seeing what is your understanding of where things stand now. Yes thats right this is a huge fire in a commercial building on the west side of the city its not one of your big corporate chains its not a walmart or starbucks its just a couple of shoe stores and Jewelry Stores so unfortunately those thats one Business Owner whos out of a livelihood the National Guard has been requested by the mayor of los angeles and they should start arriving units of the National Guard from california should start arriving within the coming hours now theyre designed to play a backup role d to the Los Angeles Police department the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department assisting them and allowing the those Police Officers to deal with the civil on the rest multiple stores have been ransacked as you can see there is fire there have been also a Police Car Set on fire a lot of Vandalism Police have been using. Irritant gas not sure if we can call it tear gas or not since there are a variety of such. Devices they have also used rubber bullets and bean bag type nonlethal projectiles in order to disperse the crowds once the violence began because of course this did start as a peaceful protest a march protesting the killing of george floyd in minneapolis earlier this week thousands of people held signs and marched peacefully but then things started to go very badly wrong and now as i say theres been a lot of vandalism a lot of ransacking stores emptied out by people who may or may not have any real connection to the protest movement this weekend was to have been. The 1st time here in los angeles that some stewards and restaurants and other types of businesses were going to be allowed to reopen as part of the gradual reopening of the wall from the lock down over the growth of virus pandemic now the city is under curfew so it looks like thats not going to happen and you know even worse rachelle several of the covert 19 Testing Centers that have been set up in l. A. Have had to close as a result of this. He brought up 19 lets put all of this and a perspective that what set all this off was was the officers on the neck of george floyd that almost every major city across the country where there are protests has their own personal case that case or cases that resonate with them of black men being killed in Police Custody with no ramifications for the officers or the people that did it then the country of the world is in the midst of a pandemic and as you pointed out earlier black and brown people are dying at a disproportionate rate because of the pandemic and then there is massive unemployment when you put all of those things together. What you regrettable is is it is what you see on the screen is a combination of a lot of things thats right its it is a combination of many different factors of frustration boiling over i mean clearly some people are taking advantage. Of the situation but the the spark the the the the the thing that motivates people to show their outrage is this constant it seems drumbeat of videos of people are subjected to seeing on our black men being mistreated killed by policemen by others and then nothing happening really of course. Chauvelin minneapolis we know hes been charged with 3rd degree murder the other policemen who were involved in floyds death have not been charged with anything but if you look at the history of all of these incidents rasho you see time and time again that the policeman or the the the white person who. Carries out this killing of a unarmed black person they either dont get any charges at all or they are charged and acquitted. Or they get what essentially amounts to a slap on the wrist you know a manslaughter charge and a couple of years in jail so that i think is is something that people bear in their minds and its just a you know a series of wounds that go on and on and never heal ok rob reynolds with the latest there is this fire burns was a day of largely peaceful protests but we are saying this as well as live in Los Angeles Rob thank you now john hendren is in minneapolis where the protests started for now at least the by lines there has stopped. This is what a curfew is supposed to look like youve got quiet streets not a lot of people out although youre seeing a few cars here. But it was a far cry from this just an hour or 2 ago that was when thousands of protesters gathered just about 2 blocks down there and police came in huge force and they were firing tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd they quickly and rather easily took over that area in numbers we got a whiff of that tear gas as we were running away during our live shot 2 hours ago. But the police are taking that area over there are still protesters out over the town but they are no longer in this same region so theyre finding other places but theyre still upset over the fact that only one of those 4 officers who kneeled on the back of george floyd have been arrested and charged that officer was charged with murder and manslaughter but people here want to charge against the other officers and theyre also just simply upset that these events continue to happen. In new york city mayor bill de blasio issued a warning to people committing crimes during otherwise peaceful protests. If you went out peacefully to make a point about the need for change you have been heard and change is coming in the city i have no doubt about that its time to go. So we can all move forward but those who are out there simply to create violence those who are out there to express hatred towards our Police Officers we wont tolerate that if youre out there to commit an act of violence youre going to get arrested tonight carol is on who is in new york and sent us this update. I slated groups of. Protesters are still kind of going around the streets a little bit but for the most part what are were seeing now is the after effects of some of the ugly side of the protests that we saw the vast majority were peaceful but here in Union Square Area of new york city in the last hour to 2 hours it got quite chaotic actually theres still. Some groups of protesters up the street there police have the street blocked off. I guess you can spew scribe it is somewhat of a tense call him at this hour. Dan over there that was set on fire theres about 3 Police Vehicles that were set up blaze this evening and then if you follow me over here i can just give you an idea of the anger that so many people have. This is 2 of the police vans they were vandalized here. Again what youre looking at is a manifestation of anger and frustration by some of the protesters who say theyve just simply had enough and that what youre seeing here is theyre saying that this is gone beyond minneapolis minnesota and george floyd that this is now Gone National but in new york city this evening definitely we saw intense protests throughout the afternoon in Brooklyn New York city and elsewhere but ultimately ended with some ugly scenes here in union square. President donald trump has taken to twitter to give his reaction on how the protests have been dealt with minneapolis this is what he tweeted the National Guard has been released in minneapolis to do the job that the democrat mayor couldnt to should have been used 2 days ago and there would not have been damage and Police Headquarters would not have been taken over and ruined a great job by the National Guard no games exclamation point on america had earlier criticized trumps handling other protests accusing him of using the unrest for his own political ends his goal is to polarize to destabilize local government inflames racist urges and we can absolutely not let him prevail. And i will code what i really want to say to donald trump its 2 words it begins with f. It ends with you. I will not remain silent while this man cynically tries to turn this incredibly painful moment into one for his own political gain. And democratic president ial hopeful the presumptive nominee joe biden has released a statement on the evenings events saying this protesting such for talent he is right and necessary it is an utterly american response the burning down communities in english destruction is not the act of protest and should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest more reaction now reverend Raphael Warnock is the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church a role which dr Martin Luther king and self held back in the 1960 s. He says the situation is dangerous and compassionate leadership is needed there is a sense of a. In a moment like this the murder. Well george floyd is a part of and on to go on and tragic saga that weve seen over and over again its like. Watching a bad movie over and over again and i think you hear that deep sense of desperation and in the voices of young people who are rising up from minneapolis to atlanta saying im tired and as i say that i think not only of the word fluid but i think of Briana Taylor i think of. Ivory when youre in the state of georgia who was attacked by. Vigilantes who are gated to themselves the kind of Police Brutality that took the lie not only of george lloyd but you know the list goes on and on and on well i think that in recent years we have seen military weaponry get on very high on american streets and ironically this is part of what has i think inflamed the conditions that were seeing right now. Its interesting the to hear mr trump speak in this way just a few weeks ago a short few weeks ago we saw. We saw folks marching and rioting as it were in the state of michigan and this response was very very different dr king used to say that riots are the language of the on heard we dont support this kind of looting but we also dont support president s who tweet about shooting this is a dangerous situation and i think people are are deeply tired and what they need is leadership compassionate leadership that will hear their cries hear their concerns and thats whats needed in a moment like thats how far from shore rubble is shes director of the center for the study of race and ethnicity in america at Brown University and she says whats happening now is part of an ongoing nationwide struggle surrounding racism and the u. S. I think you know its very important when were thinking about the response to this incident where mr floyd was killed that we really understand how systematic and pervasive the deep violence that black people face at the hands of police have been all around the country and its impossible to speak to what the Community Feels in minneapolis if we only think about whats happened there in isolation its extremely important that we understand that this is a historical and ongoing factor and a nationwide fact and this is not one rogue cop its not wanted 2 or 3 rogue cops across new york but in fact assisted a systematic relationship where black people are considered threatening and worthy of extreme violence and this is a common practice so to to begin to understand this we have to put it both in Historical Context and in terms of a collective black trauma around state sponsored violence that usually goes completely on punished this is what happened in ferguson right it was a full nearly a military response you know local Police Forces around the country have been rewarded with military grade equipment the kinds of equipment you would normally see only in an International War context and there was extreme levels of containment and violence as if people exercising their civil rights to freedom of expression and to gather in public to protest were a threat to the nation rather than the very rights that the nation is designed to protect but thats the logic of what it means to face a state violence when youre a black Community Even if whites and others are participating its when its understood as a racial crime that you begin to see this kind of extreme violent response that said it is my understanding that there were also many instigators involved in minneapolis and perhaps in a. Cities around the country as well and more data on that may come up as the weeks bear out but what that means is that you could have you know right extreme right wing violent groups who are infiltrating the protest community in the cities that are protesting and those infiltrators are stoking violence and encouraging a violent response for which black people will pay the highest price. For all of course is still in the middle of a chronic virus pandemic several Senior Scientific advisors to the u. K.
