Will be meeting medics out on the frontlines. Very you want to hear. That a space x. Rocket thunders away from earth to nasa astronauts aboard a new era for commercial space travel. But everyone protests against racism and spread to even more u. S. Cities becoming violent in many of them what began as demonstrations over the death of george floyd after being arrested has real woken a National Outrage about deaths blamed on police well start with this from mike hanna. What started out as peaceful protests in dozens of cities a ruptured in violence in Los Angeles Police vehicles were set on fire sending plumes of black smoke over the area. Similar scenes in cities ranging from seattle where a 5 pm curfew has been set to miami where thousands gathered through the day and where like in so many other areas a standoff with police ended in clouds of tear gas in chicago where demonstrators held signs carrying messages of protest that were repeated throughout the nation. In new york a city that is still to emerge from the ravages of the pandemic a series of protests took place throughout the 5 boroughs and in minneapolis the city where george floyd was killed and where the National Wave of protests began. The president left the white house in the morning to attend the basics launch and afterwards expressed his sympathy for george floyd and his family but also had this to say about the protesters. The memory of george floyd is being dishonored by riders looters and anarchists the violence and vandalism is being led by n. T. For and other radical left wing groups who were terrorizing the innocent destroying jobs. Hurting businesses and burning down buildings this in the wake of a tweet saying if protesters had broken the secret service ring outside the white house they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs and most are ministers weapons i have seen the reference to vicious dogs seen by washingtons mayor Muriel Bowser as a throwback to the police use of dogs on African American civil rights activists decades ago and in an extraordinary tweet off her own the mayor lashed out at the president in the white house saying and i quote while he hides behind his fence afraid alone i stand with people peacefully exercising their 1st amendment right after the murder of george floyd and hundreds of years of institutional racism there are no vicious dogs and ominous weapons there is just a scared man afraid alone. Into the night crowds continue to gather within sight and sound of the president s residence clashing with police and secret Service Agents on several occasions washington d. C. Became one of more than 11 cities where the National Guard has been mobilized and amidst a flickering of flames and swirling smoke curfews were declared in a number of areas the same a nation just emerging from a months long lockdown in the thesis of a pandemic mike hanna aljazeera washington. John hendren is reporting for us from minneapolis he says things have fallen quiet there for now. This is what a curfew is supposed to look like a few people on the street few cars in relative quiet but it was a far cry from that just hours ago. Police and demonstrators faced off in an area they have been trading control of a night ago the police controlled an intersection behind me and then demonstrators took it over in the day well in the evening the police came back in force marching toward the protesters shooting pellets and firing tear gas it all took about 15 minutes to disperse the crowd we spoke to some of the protesters and this is what they had to say they cheated a state drawing gas and so lets not only as a ripple it may have got picked up in the mass. Media just is we need our justice the city would not rest until we get out just no justice no peace does that mean we out one officer has been arrested and charged with murder but there were 4 officers involved in the arrest of george floyd that ended in his death now the crowd says they want to stay out here in the streets of minneapolis despite the curfew despite the Police Presence until all 4 of those officers are arrested. And thats a car that is on there in new york he says events there were calm all day until small groups causing trouble when night fell. Chaotic scenes here in new york city late in the evening im in Union Square Area of the city and you can see that some of the protests turned out to be violent in a way this is where the real heart of the major conflict between police and protesters were was held after nightfall at one point more than 2 Police Vehicles were set ablaze we saw helicopters are still at this hour buzzing over the air and there are groups of protesters still roaming in certain areas but earlier in the day we saw tens of thousands of Peaceful Protesters take to the streets in new york to have their voices heard at one point they peacefully protested right in front of trump tower in front of a heavy Police Presence and then moved down the streets of broadway down to downtown new york city where one point they were greeted by applause by onlookers these were mostly young people all of whom said that they were out here for a reason im here for george floyd im here for all of those out lost their lives hes talib im here for black america im here for me im here for my family im here for all the america im here for those who cant be here today well i think that america is sick and we have to root out racism and i think that white people need to stand up and do something instead of sitting on their couch and posting on their Instagram Stories this is a manifestation of anger as one man just told me says this is what happens when people get fed up many are exactly that here in new york they Say Something like this is just property that can be replaced but the life of george floyd cant be. Its about 1 in the morning in los angeles now where protests have continued into the night with some people losing stolz and lighting fires National Guard troops were called in to assist the citys Police Force Officers have been using. Irritant gas as well as rubber bullets to disperse the crowds peaceful demonstrators demonstrations im sorry were held earlier in the day you see sheriff is a journalist in the songes and tells us lots of protesters became worried when they heard officers from immigration and Customs Enforcement ice as its known that they were on the same it was a line of white protesters standing between the police and people of color purchases of color and they were linking arms to try and protect these protests the problem the police on i have also been seeing people you know really panicked talking about that theyve heard the ice is being cold on the news coming to the area i saw a lot of people. I dont know if it was a reminder of it is that i saw a lot of people discussing leave the protests off that i came out on that also being quite a few instances of why protest is throwing objects at flea and protestors of color its turning round and telling and this is a few so far its really going on inside parliament because this is a peaceful process this is about justice and this is about a lot. And you were trying to turn this into something that is violent which is not what we want well in his latest remarks the Presumptive DemocraticParty President ial nominee joe biden has said the past few days have made it clear the u. S. Is a nation furious about injustice however the former Vice President added violence cannot be tolerated in some of what he said the act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest it should not drive people away from the just cause the protest is meant to advance i spoke to brian levin earlier he is the director of the center for the study of hate and extremism thats a California State University in San Bernardino and he was a previously a Police Officer in new york he says its the Fringe Groups who is stoking disorder. We are fooling ourselves if we believe that the systemic bigotry which takes place in the United States and elsewhere is in some way just limited to police but i think what weve seen here is we had in rapid succession 3 horrible deaths of africanamerican people who were on armed and. The country is demanding an answer. And i think theres a difference in whats going on a lot of white people like myself feel oh thats a terrible thing but what we dont feel is it is going to happen to us most of the protesters have been nonviolent thats the story behind the story and what we seem are interim loper looters and extremists from from different sides trying to exploit this but i can tell you that im hearing from my friends across the country whove been involved in nonviolent protests that the majority of these protests have in fact been peaceful in till such time that this the smaller number of people exploit that and what that these people do is tarnish the moral imperative of the effort that all of us have to do with rolling up our sleeves to advance racial equality in this nation we also heard from rosa clement who has a Community Organizer with black lives mass a group formed after the death of black teenager Trayvon Martin 8 years ago florida she says people are simply a breaking point. Every 28 hours in the United States of america an African American native person south asian person or brown person let the you know are killed by the police every 28 hours george floyd unfortunately was something we have to watch for 9 minutes but we could talk about bionic taylor and e n t who was working during the Global Pandemic where police entered her house while her and her boyfriend were sleep they thought they were being rot and her body was so riddled with bullets and this is last month in louisville kentucky that they had a hard time even putting her back together i can name you tough tony make day a black tranced man that was just killed 2 days ago by the police in memphis and i could spend 5 hours a week you all and i could not even answer or we wouldnt even both do the lists of multiple Police Killings this is a not only a Tipping Point its an explosion and within against this Global Pandemic until all those cops arrest it until they go to trial until they get jail time and then serve that jail time i think were going to be seen this a lot more for many many weeks here in the United States the rest of the days news is coming up we will take you to brazils amazon where doctors are struggling to make it into the jungle to carry out to run a virus testing.
