And after President Trump visited a catholic shrine criticism mounts that hes using religion as a political tool. Welcome to the program the family of george floyd have made an emotional appeal for justice as protests continue right across the country despite curfews and threats of force the mother of floyds daughter paid tribute to him describing him as a good man and emphasizing the impact his killing will have on his child hell have the. Well were agile way. He will never walk down. The problem see the baby in the day he did not have daddy more. Baby. And only of killing. Because of that one yes its a hill. While throwing to death the spot days of protests including in washington d. C. In the us president s come under criticism for his handling of the tense situation in particular the forcible removal of protesters outside the white house in order for donald trump to have a photo op at a church when Peaceful Protesters. Dispersed in order for a president. A president from the doorstep of the peoples house the white house using tear gas and flash grenades in order to stage a photo op a photo on one of the most Historic Churches in the country or at least in washington d. C. We can be forgiven for believing the president s more interested in and power then in principle. Were just serving the passion that was based on the needs of the people it is clear. Well ministers including those attached to the church that trump visited have also criticized the president accusing him of using religion as props for his own political ends meanwhile protests are continuing right across the country curfews are in place in many cities to keep borda the protests have been mostly peaceful during the day but nightfall has brought some looting and vandalism in certain areas but john hendren joins us live now from minneapolis john so lets talk 1st about that freud Family Press Conference in minneapolis a short while ago it was tearful it was poignant what more did the family have to say. Where you really played a most poignant part of a tear and that was when the mother of floyds daughter spoke about how he would never be able to walk her down the aisle and she said she pointed to her daughter and she said i want these officers to know what they took from him meaning his daughter and it was really an effort that weve seen over several days from his brother chair and yesterday and again today members of his family to try to humanize him and to try to show that this was a real person hes not the dehumanized figure that you see they need police so often when we have incidents like this the rodney king beating and that sort of thing that the person gets dehumanised because they are known as somebody who is accused of a crime and theyre also known as somebody who has simply been beaten by police and what theyre trying to do we should tell people this was a real man he had real family he loved his daughter and they did a good job i think in human eyes. And john we also understand that minnesota has now filed a civil rights charge against the Minneapolis Police over the death of george floyd what does this all mean. The governor of minneapolis tim walsh has filed. A justice a last well. Hes never filed an investigation and what that investigation will do is look into the Minneapolis Police department for possible human rights abuses in fact is only about 40 percent of minneapolis is minority and yet in Something Like 2 thirds of the incidents where Excessive Force is used it is used against the Minority Community and into thats the kind of thing they want to investigate and while that investigation goes on the governor wants to have a voluntary agreement with the Minneapolis Police so that they will immediately change some policies to make it a more racially Fair Department derren and when we spoke yesterday john the streets seem pretty quiet so its been its been raining there now but whats happening around you just told us through that. You know. Well we are at the george floyd memorial spot its just across the street behind me but. There are thousands of people here you probably cant see very many of them behind me because its just this guys weve opened up and people of all run for the shelter that they can find many of them are right around us because were under a gas station on the air so thousands of people have gathered here and theyre going to shelter a little bit from the rain we were in city hall just a short while ago where several 1000 people were gathered in front of the State Capitol listening to speakers and very peacefully protesting on the lawn outside of that scenic capitol but what shows you what an extraordinary time this is that underneath the capitol dome. There were armored personnel carriers full of National Guard troops standing there people who normally are you know doing other jobs for military duty. And guarding all of these protesters its really an extraordinary time here meanwhile you can see. Even the rain hasnt really got people inside theyre not leaving theyre just looking for shelter and air and john hendren will no doubt come back to you throughout the night john thank you for now lets cross over now to washington d. C. And talk to see how baton see whos there for us she have so last night you were caught up in the drama of being tear gassed by the police as they were making way for the president tell us where you are now and whats happening around you. Well were just outside the church of st john actually and i was famous suddenly locally as the church of the president s now in the short term it will be famous for the church of the actions of one particular President Donald Trump who is now infamously cleared the area around it in order to say that he could have a photo opportunity to clear the area around it by tear gassing and probably for a bribe of bullets not him personally obviously but the order went out for rubber bullets and tear gas against a fence for starters that was about this that was about a half an hour later this time yesterday half an hour before the coffee the curfew here in d. C. Is now officially underway at 7 minutes past 7 weve had an inkling of potential action there is now an 8 foot fence the white house is down because we should move over here a little bit. And has made foot fence. In some ways actually that for a sense of security because it was felt a little safer because we the police well caged in some ways away from us when they actually right next to us had to head face to face they have a tendency just to lash out at random moments and people got hurt so it was actually rather a safe but on a very peaceful protest a different day there is silence upon thousands little not just here but around washington d. C. Enraged by what they saw yesterday at about half an hour ago that we saw some of the police behind the fence or pepper spraying randomly as usual behind the front sight not stop was a concerning a concerning telling of what was going what might happen afterwards we dont know what will happen now we know that donald trump is. Well were hearing some shouting our tree down too was i we moved back a little bit we can hear shouting down that now. But theres not theres been a backwards. But we need a dont drink action constantly a federal authorities are now in charge of this this disc combining military National Guard that is policing policing in the us and the u. S. Capitol along with the russian Police Department which is arrested in charge of enforcing because a few thats still under the control of the man although it seems the federal government has been trying to get hold of control over the local police force but federal authorities now in charge of military units now on the streets of d. C. In the main National Guard were told were actually deployed around here but when they are from various reports that over a 1000 troops have been mobilized and have staged they say just outside the capital of various military about a military base outside the capital theyre able to be here with an were just sort of a. P. Report which says theyve been handed out rifles with bayonets with baronets. Thats all very concerning as well but we just wait to see what theyre going to do because because of trying times actions yesterday that thousands more on the streets today said they going to start clearing things up its going to be its going to be a rather rather interesting situation to say the least yes she had been and as were watching these pictures of the crowd getting noisy lets remind ourselves that President Trumps visit yesterday to send johns church sort of happened a 2nd time today in front of a catholic shrine accusations that the president s using the media and these religious shrines to create some kind of Political Campaign that. Weve been getting minimal information that he has been very worried about losing the evangelical base he really wants to show that up so research is it just john yesterday and now today. Always visit to a catholic trying to john paul the 2nd its fascinating though because remember there was a withering response from the episcopal alien church whose church this is over here this is a respected strong the archbishop of washington d. C. I find it baffling and reprehensible that only catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles which could lead to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. With harlan strong the archbishop the catholic archbishop here in d. C. As a result of that trip but as far as we understand at least as far as yesterdays visit went theyre not terribly happy it was having shakes troubles around us was weak we can hear that they thought it went terribly well they thought they got the fighter that they wanted and the job done box checked the base will be satisfied it is fascinating despite the opprobrium the shock the disgust that weve been hearing from so many others at the white house that visits to some joins us all as a success all right listen stay safe out there well will no doubt come back to a little bit later through the evening but stay safe. In washington d. C. Now in new york thousands are rallying near the Police Department headquarters demanding an end to Police Brutality that has the citys mayor extended the nighttime curfew until sunday but the state Governor Andrew Cuomo has criticized new york citys response to the protests and said the police havent done enough to stop looting and vandalism but most offer to send the National Guard to help restore order. The n. Y. P. D. And the mayor did not do their job last night i believe the. Second you have 38001 a. P. The people it is the largest Police Department in the United States of america you 30 a 1000 people and protect property. Use the Police Protect property and people look at the video it was a disgrace so that was the state Governor Andrew Cuomo but the citys mayor bill de blasio says deploying the National Guard would only heighten tensions we do not need nor do we think its wise for the National Guard to be in new york city nor any Armed Forces Im going to tell you why this is really important we have this hour right now if someone needs a History Lesson when outside armed forces go into communities no good comes of it all right lets talk to gary barlow is on the he joins us now from new york gabe so there seems to be this tension now between the Governor Andrew Cuomo on one side and the mayor bill de blasio on the other over what happened last night and President Trump hes been calling for the National Guard to be deployed in new york so how is all of this playing out. Thats right you know so its words you heard from andrew cuomo the governor he is not pleased with the rioting and looting that was widespread late last night here in new york city he although he says so far has not called in the National Guard but there is certainly tension between the mayor of this city and the governor and Business Owners here are preparing for this its important to point out that 9095 almost 100 percent of the protests are very peaceful but we are seeing chaotic scenes late into the evening so this is the scene now on 5th avenue and 58th street as crews right now start to board up some of the businesses here getting prepared for what potentially could be a difficult night in new york city now if you look on this this is spectacular that is the apple store Flagship Store on 5th avenue crews have been brought in not to put not not to put up. Wood but to put up steel plates. I dont have a good. Idea how you do it so youre going to you know youre going to stay out tonight whats your. What do you pride for tonight you. Know what are you out for tonight what do you what is journalist youre covering what you know well close thats what while you talk to me talk to me what i thought it was only it will close me like. That you. Know. All right so listen. Theres a lot of people out on the streets obviously sorry for that language you werent expecting that of course this is the scene 58 and 5th avenue here in new york city come this way drew if you pivot around real quickly theyre expecting many Protesters Thousands of them to be here. At this area in the next hour or so there are tens of thousands of protesters on the streets right now in new york city the curfew is about 45 minutes from now and thats trump tower about a block down in that direction lots of police here theyve blocked off the street as a matter of fact in about 45 minutes when the curfew goes into effect theyre actually going to prohibit all cars anywhere in new york city which is a very very rare rare thing indeed if you pan up here that is trump tower at the very top that is President Donald Trumps apartment where he lives when hes not in washington d. C. Again just a little bit of the scene here boarded up boarded up businesses as the people are preparing for whatever could happen tonight again tens of thousands of Peaceful Protesters on the streets right now were going to have to see what happens in about 45 minutes when the curfew goes into effect yeah and gave as you were saying there was some sporadic looting across midtown last night we know that people were arrested hopefully the curfew tonight will deter some protests from coming into midtown again. Yeah thats what theyre hoping i mean the curfew started at 11 pm last night its now 8 pm tonight so theyre trying to get the curfew earlier obviously that might complicate things because there are still people out and i dont know if a lot of the Peaceful Protesters are going to want to go home at 8 pm were going to find out pretty soon but clearly its the the new york Police Departments way and the mayors way of trying to get control of the situation earlier in the evening its important to point out though. That there has been very heavy handed tactics by n. Y. P. D. The last several nights year pepper spray Peaceful Protesters a couple of nights ago there was an incident of an n. Y. P. D. Vehicle driving up and almost driving through a group of Peaceful Protesters so a lot of people out on the street are saying listen we dont want vandalism but a lot of people sort of say i understand the anger because theyre out here protesting against Police Brutality and listen in some instances here in new york in the last 3 or 4 nights there has been Police Brutality against some protesters so listen its complicated as you can see from a few minutes ago when those gentlemen walked up on camera here people are not happy and its emotions are quite raw if i should say on the very tense streets of new york city all of this happening as the pandemic coronavirus pandemic is still very much here in new york city is still the epicenter of it and technically new york city is supposed to be still on lockdown because of coronavirus so you have 2 competing if you will a crisis if you will massive protests late night rioting in the midst of a once in 100 year pandemic here in the epicenter of new york city did it here so its going to be a lot of things happening all at one time all right well come back to a little bit later throughout the night an apologist for any profanity is from that gentleman who came up to gabe was the this is lived. And aversions as mike difficult to control but apologies for that all right lets head over now to the west coast where a curfew remains in place in los angeles which is seeing some unrest and looting over the past several days rob reynolds is live for us there now rob centrism is exactly where you on whats been happening on the streets around the. World there unearth the border of both hollywood and. In hollywood and you can see behind me the. Line of people marching in protests. Demanding justice. Roy. And there are many of them holding up signs saying he phoned the police so that is another theme that is emerging is that they say that some people are saying that the only way to stop Police Misconduct radically up the budgets of the police so that is one when you hear earlier there was some tense moments there were some tense moments with police and protesters facing all police fired. Projectiles its kind of a. Feel soft if you go like this but if its fired from a gun and it hits you its got over we talked to a young man. Of short while ago the army had a pretty nasty read. On his arm from one of these soft projectiles that the police have been using i think its very important that we get the views of people who are in the streets protesting and listen to them explain the slogans what. They are here for so im joined by john. John thank you very much for talking with us thats right here in the right spot. What do you make of what youve been seeing here in your neighborhood of hollywood for the past week or so. Im i think im im very happy about the momentum this has taken because this has been going on for decades it has been protests and has been in the lead but never to this magnitude so this this amount of awareness and activism makes me happy i dont condone the violence i dont condone or deluding but i do understand the anger and. I do i do think its been a Long Time Coming in so im very happy to see see everybody come together. And support i support the block here rob what do you think of the behavior of the police as you have over served yourself the behavior with one of the police force. I mean this is something you know as a young africanamerican you get used to right you kind of you get trained you know how to act whenever youre around you you tense up when you get boredom or is it something you kind of learn to do but its something that i have to cost me remind my friends because they dont experience it dont have to worry about what neighborhoods are going to run in there and have to worry about acting extremely proper for the police its very you is very aware for us even want to joke with the police because were terrified sorry because were terrified so. Tense tense is a proper word if. You live in this neighborhood youve never lived here and its been locked down the whole city has been locked down under stay at home order now this i mean whats a trial whats it like for you trying to trying to you know live your life to this amidst this. Unrest and them and chaos and disease its stephanie devastating i feel for the businesses because its we were right on the verge of reopening a lot of these businesses a lot of a lot of Business Owners said were already having trouble keeping their people their employees and even keeping their business is alive so the fact that this happened right as we were starting to recover is jeff you devastating but. Its the protests it is much needed and the problem that the fact that its its happening on the scale i think im hoping change will come with us all much more ahead do you feel how much longer does this need to go on using what what would what would be the end point that would at least not satisfy but. Make people feel that something had changed i mean the immediate action people are looking for c c o 4 officers that were involved get some kind of you know see some kind of justice right because one has been arrested but 3 are still free right we still have the people who shot omar are very you know not fully taking custody so its really just one the see action right because its a lot of talk a lot of politicians are just coming out and speaking and saying we need change theyre not acting upon and theyre not acting the laws and you know in sending putting together a future thats going to protect people of color people who have just been marginalized for so long know its the its the sense that theres impunity that leads to. So much more outrage in addition to the act. Yes you know its just like a bully right when a bully away with it the 1st time the 2nd time the 3rd time its like a positive reinforcement rush or they end up they dont start being the school bully but they do small actions may end up becoming that the police have gone away with a lot of action and because theres never any justice or theres never any punishment they get given desk duty maybe thats whats causing this thats whats happened for the last several decades that they dont see punishment so theres no reason for them to stop. So you know its the local level right i mean we could complain we want to start to go local men and local mayors and they may have the power to change some of this john thank you very much for your thoughts i really appreciate you speaking with us today on aljazeera thank you so much and have a good day stay safe well there you have one mans views very well. On what is going on here on the streets. We will continue to stay here in los angeles as we are all around the country on aljazeera covering this story and seeing how it develops aaron back to you all right. Rob well talk a little bit later. Now 4 Police Officers have been shot during protests in the state of missouri they were trying to control crowds in the city. When they were fired at some of the demonstrators had been smashing windows looting and setting businesses on fire. Expected to make a full recovery but the police chief was furious about the escalating unrest in the city. Some coward fired shots at officers and now we have 4 in the hospital but thankfully and thank god theres a lot theres a lot but i. Think what can we make some sense out of this can we make some sense out of this thats all im trying to say just a village devilish tragic but can we make some some of out of something that these kids come down here and i just thought it like like like crazy joe but ive been now like like like that like theyre influenced by the jumpman have 5 in each other flourishing pistols all right lets bring in reverend Tracy Blackman executive minister of justice and witness ministries of the United Church of christ and shes in florissant missouri thats a city in st louis county tracy lets talk 1st about the protests weve seen in sent louis you were listening to the police chief there i mean they started off i understand as largely peaceful but then turned pretty violent last night with full Police Officers being shot some looting vandalism what do you make of what happened. Thank you for having me on day and i tell you where any of it on me is that we are reaching a point in this country. Where people that try it on weve gone through several months of sheltering its in. Many people having their economic stability further. And then on top of that the continuation of killing of black mean and black women like transmission and in rapid succession i think that people reached a boiling point and thats what were seeing now i want to express from dolan says to those the family of those operations on the other its 1st it is never the incentive to take a lie and i certainly felt the deep sanctioned employee of the police chief as he cried for them i only wish that those tears would come every time a black light thats lost in st louis i wish that those tears would come from all of the people who stand in judgment in this moment every time a young black person was killed on the streets and we need those tears we need that simple be we need to actually move us to a different place and we need to be coming from everyone all the time no matter whose life was in tracy let me. Just ask it i mean in terms of the growing protest Movement Across the country response to George Floyds death do you think were seeing a Pivotal Moment i mean that these protests are somehow different from those of the past and bringing about some kind of a societal change. Wont change we wont know how much shane she will see from there so until november quite frankly but i do think this is a different moment and i think one of the reasons that its a different movement is because of the leadership we have in the white house and in the senate and i think that some of the blame that we are today has to be laid on the feet of our National Leadership when you have the president of the United States make statements like you have a loot well shoot as if any sane correlation between property and life when you have the president of the United States making that statement is different than when i make it is different when you make it were talking about the command you chief of our military services and thats thats an interesting point tracing your make about President Trump because as a religious leader what do you make of the president s Controversial Photo opportunities yesterday in washington posing in front of cent johns church in a catholic shrine i mean maybe he sees himself as some kind this is some kind of pony wall which may appeal to his conservative base but many religious leaders and officials have condemned it what are your thoughts on it listen to. Every evil act exacted against black and brown people in this country since the founding of black people being here since 1619 every evil act exactly against us has been zakk do what the white man cracked up by a bible. I dont see there any differently than were donald trump did yesterday and wrapped up. With a. Dance not new in this country its not our 1st time seeing it and it wont be our last facing it is interesting isnt it because we have this this strange confluence of a coded 19 pandemic in the u. S. And now we have these widening protests but in the confusion i think we seem to forgotten that the black and minority communities have suffered disproportionately from this disease i mean youre a former Health Care Worker how much does this highlight that apart from dealing with Police Brutality these same communities or at the same time dealing with Terrible Health disparities. Well and and the larger narrative has forgotten that but the People Living in these communities have not forgotten that not only the the disparities the cove embarrasses sell but the economic disparities that have been highlighted in. The ability to take care of your family because you have a living wage has been highlighted in this moment the bass difference between the haves and the have nots in this country has been highlighted in this moment on top of that you have coded 19 where the majority percentage wise of depps happen to be black and brown communities and i say black and brown because we have no idea of the numbers of people who have died who were undocumented who are afraid to get help in this kind of that on top of Police Violence and while i dont condone violence of any kind in please dont hear me saying that and i certainly agree the destruction of property i dont place crap over people and if we want to solve this problem what we have to do is we form our judicial system in the form athletes departments so that people are not pressed to the place where they have nowhere to go but to lash out trace about and really really good to get your thoughts here on aljazeera thank you thanks very much indeed for that. All right time for a short break here aljazeera when we come back thousands in congress defy coronavirus protections to protest Police Brutality confronts.

The morning team year old Michael Brown was gunned down for the one really small so ferguson was really me i saw my son in 15. Years that i mentor. Enough felt like you know at this my time to stand. Welcome back im out of our top stories here at this hour the family of george floyd has made an emotional appeal for justice as protests continue across the country the mother of floyds daughter paid tribute to him describing floyd as a good man and emphasizing the impact this killing will have on his child. And washington d. C. Crowds of protesters of once again gathered near the white house that despite a curfew being in place in the capitol along with many other cities in the u. S. Had to contain parties and looting. And u. S. President ial hopeful joe biden has accused donald trump of fanning the flames of hate in u. S. President has come under criticism for the forcible removal of protesters outside the white house in order to have a photo opportunity at a nearby church. Now former u. S. President george w. Bush has commented on the protests saying it remains a shocking failure that many africanamericans especially young men are harassed and threatened in their own country the only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of america or how it becomes a better place for the protests against Police Brutality are drawing International Condemnation as well the un human rights chief Michelle Bachelet as weighed in she says the protests triggered by the killing of george floyd highlighting not only Police Violence against people of color but also inequalities in Health Education employment and demick Racial Discrimination the European Union has also criticised the use of Excessive Force by police in the Us Foreign Affairs minister says the e. U. Was shocked and appalled by the death of george floyd. We have to be sure everywhere especially in societies which are beige with the rule of law could look at it representation and respect the freedoms and liberties and dad. People who are in charge of. Taking care of the older are not using their capacities on the way that has been used on dish very very unhappy. Death. Of their just flight 3 years ago usually by what and this has to be should be denounced should be combat interstage and everywhere well the protests in the u. S. As well as the coronavirus pandemic are happening during an Election Year on tuesday 8 states held their primaries which have been delayed in some areas because of coronavirus extra Safety Measures were in place in person voting stations but the number of mail in ballots surged a situation closely watched ahead of novembers election or it could become the norm for donald trump is all but certain to take on former Vice President joe biden for the democrats in the van but the pandemic and job losses have divided voters as christensen reports now from pennsylvania. Joe dambrosio has been cutting hair and bethlehem pennsylvania for 47 years barber shops are closed now due to the coronavirus pandemic and joe thinks thats prudent given his age hes got enough savings to ride it out a bit longer in course of one week i lost my best and oldest friends you see so its real real to me hes seen a lot of change in bethlehem over the last 4 years the local steel plant that once employed 35000 people is still mostly empty but many of its former Union Workers lean republican instead of democrat they lined the streets to greet President Trump recently when he visited a local manufacturing plant a rare trip out of the Nations Capital when much of the country was still on lockdown pennsylvania is one of 4 states that President Trump won by less than a percent in 2016 older Blue Collar Workers like the ones that used to work here in the Steel Industry were crucial to his victory and they could make a difference again in 2020 National Polls show that among Senior Citizens like these former steelworkers joe biden is more popular than trump i hear more and more people in the trustworthy that are just not trustworthy the state has one of the oldest populations in the country but polls have been wrong here before why bodies that are republicans. They all told me to same thing or not vote for him again. Well you know thats a very heartening but. We all thought that hillary was a hero and a lot of time around the president hasnt seen the country rally behind him as usually happens during a time of crisis or attack but his base remains committed we saw it during us a visit to believe high value recently with crowds out on the highways welcoming him he has a core and that corps gone nowhere over the last few years the question is has he built on that at all is there milder roget in among groups like seniors joe voted for him in 2016 and plans to again well i think hes the strongest guy he knows how to deal and he knows he built the economy he not afraid of china leaving the state closely divided between those who think the president is best suited to lead an economic recovery and those who blame his handling of the crisis for it in the 1st place kristen salumi al jazeera bethlehem pennsylvania now the u. S. President has threatened to respond militarily to the protests if states cannot get them under control but some analysts say of trump decides to use the army and almost no legal barriers in his way. If he wants and he determines in his discretion that the law cant be enforced in a particular place because of the unrest or demonstrations he can on his own call in the army its true there are these formal requirements but theyre pretty straightforward he can he can got his eyes and crosses ts fairly easily and i think he wants to show whos boss especially in certain jurisdictions where he thinks the. Local authorities arent being Strong Enough and as i say it only takes him on his acting on his own to do it and you imagine military rolling in in tanks and its kind of a terrifying tablo and thats the reason why its very very rarely invoked the insurrection act theres just a strong cultural prohibition against it theres a special law in fact that says its a crime to do it unless congress has authorized it but thats of course where the insurrection act comes in here Congress Passed that statute after the civil war and it by its terms would authorize it but the overall sort of political and cultural cost i think would be extreme that the sense of military rolling in the streets to quell citizens demonstrations as anathema to most americans a reporter from a newspaper in the state of a console a says he was hurt by a small group of riotous tony hope said he was attacked in the state capital little rock by a few who quote clearly didnt want to and then old as one of the journalists to be careful. Australias Prime Minister has called for an investigation after an Australian News crew was attacked by police during the protests in the us. Oh. A cameraman was punched as you saw there and assaulted by an officer during a live broadcast Police Across america have been criticized for pepper spraying shooting out and arresting accredited members of the press. But a gas has been fired at hundreds of demonstrators running against Police Brutality in paris the protests began peacefully outside a courthouse but police later moved them to a large crowds in other parts of the french capital testers want to draw attention to the case of. A 24 year old black man who died in Police Custody back in 2016 iran who also drew supporters of the black lives Matter Movement in the United States. From the french capital.
