Back in may well get more form our reporter rob reynolds in just a moment but lets get some analysis now from elizabeth anchor shes an expert on american politics and a professor at George Washington university she joins us now by skype from washington d. C. A good to have you with this or here are now to syria we do have quite a significant weekend of protests coming up how rich you have important would you say this is. Ongoing since the summer they started when another. Police killing of an unarmed black man and they have continued throughout in actually got one night a large part of the u. S. Occupation in many ways the protests have been the largest ongoing protests in modern u. S. History what were seeing now is your continued strength of the protesters both responding to particular issues but also part of this Ongoing Movement but this process is for most sites really arent there are those supporting black clothes matter theyve been protesting for seems around 100 days now perhaps more than that it seems this was all sponsored by george for a day and yet we keep seeing more body camphorated and more evidence of people getting killed by the police how successful would you say these protest movements have been given the continued struggles that black people appear to face in the United States. Yeah i mean the struggles have been going on for decades the struggles themselves arent new i think what we are seeing here is the way in which these protests actually have managed to change quite a few things in a short period of time on the one hand bringing in more people than ever before for support they have changed the language that americans use we now hear calls for defunding the Police Coming from you know dinner table every night where that was not the case just a few months ago and weve seen changes in a lot of different localities where most of the policies about the use of the police and regulations for police are made so we have seen changes in specific locations what we havent seen are some of the Larger National changes that people are calling for and in part thats because Donald Trumps president the right has staked itself on the claim that it is a lot or presidency by which trump generally means kind of unrestrained use of the police which is where a lot of the roach from protesters are now coming into the picture one thing that has changed nationally does appear to be support for the black movement polling shows the support has dropped almost 10 Percentage Points for the the b. L. M. Movement since june so how would you characterize this as the violence that were seeing at these protests having some kind of impact on the way americans have hearing this movement. I think thats right in many ways what was interesting is a study just came out in the Washington Post yesterday that showed that 93 percent of all of the protests were nonviolent and of those 7 percent the vast majority of them the violence there was either just Property Damage or it was came with clashes with the police so there is a disconnect between the kind of nonviolence that is actually happening on the ground and the way that its deeper trade both in the media the way National Rhetoric and i think that kind of in accurate portrayal is partly why we have seen something near so or. Ok ed thank you so much for sharing your views with those elizabeth anchor there at George Washington university well lets say across live by several reynolds he joins us now from los angeles what sort of process can we expect this labor day what what should we be looking for. Well i think you can expect a pretty volatile weekend there are have been protests already today saturday and these are going on and there will be more as night falls here on the west coast when people in portland traditionally take to the streets surrounding the federal courthouse and other buildings associated with the police and the federal government to continue their more than 100 days of protesting a couple of the things that were looking at very closely which which look like they could be volatile is this is one of the one of them is the situation in louisville today it is the day for the Kentucky Derby we see derby here in the United States not darby but its a big horse race its a major sort of cultural sporting event and the black lights matter protesters have been calling for it to be canceled because they say there is no justice for Brianna Taylor the woman from louisville young black woman who was killed in a row in a home by police who entered on a socalled no knock warrant without announcing themselves she was killed by gunfire from the police that was back in march there have been protests in rule bill since then and what made today a little more frightening was the fact that a column of people calling themselves pro police and pro trump protesters many of them carrying guns including rifles along arms also arrived in louisville and. Marched around protesting. The police beefed up their presence outside the racetrack that was the focus of all of these protests and so far we have heard that there have been no violent incidents some yelling and. Debating back and forth but nothing nothing thank goodness that is wounded any body another thing ill mention is that there is this tradition thats developed now boat owners who are in favor of president trump. Parading their boats around with trump banners and signs and in austin texas today there was one such boat rally unfortunately several of the boat sank fortunately no one was injured ok rob raddatz ally for us in the center of this thank you.
