Pandemic a massive debt and a Failing Health care system having on knowledge and teeth. So its a decision thats being described as outrageous and offensive a grand jury in the United States has decided not to charge Police Officers in louisville in kentucky the death of Briana Taylor but medical worker was killed in march when police raided her home protests have been held in several cities to denounce the criminal Justice System the grand jury did indict one of the officers for endangering his neighbors 100 reports now in louisville. Anger in a sense of justice denied spilled over into the streets of louisville. Police who have faced off with demonstrators in one American City after another. Acted quickly. Think its a slap in the face to everybody who believes in justice and goodness and rightness. Its the least of the charges that you can imagine happening. And naming of the charges that dont even mention. Names its not just it is not justice kentuckys attorney general announced 3 charges of Reckless Endangerment against Brett Hankerson one of 3 officers who fired into the home of Briana Taylor in march she died seconds later theres no doubt that this is a gut wrenching emotional case and the pain that many people are feeling is understandable i deeply care about the value and sanctity of human life deserves protection and in this case a human life was lost. We cannot forget that the charges were for firing into the neighboring home of a white family of 3 not for the shooting of taylor the officer who fired the fatal shots was not charged. He said enough. Thats not enough taylor died after Police Firing their weapons stormed her apartment in march carrying out a no knock warrant for evidence against a friend of taylors her boyfriend Kenneth Walker says that moments before they entered he had fired a shot through the door at what he thought were intruders taylors family had hoped for murder charges the charges should have been murder a rest the cops all the cops should have been arrested how can you worse in the someones home fire. Kill them and not be charged with murder downtown louisville has been boarded up for days in anticipation a curfew set for 3 days on the car behind me you can see people including the shirtless man who are among the 1st people arrested in Louisville Police asked them to disperse they did not and then they ended up in handcuffs. Armed sometimes angry men and women walk the streets with assault rifles. Police say theyve arrested a suspect after 2 officers were shot during the evening both officers are currently undergoing treatment at university hospital. One is in alert in stable the other officers currently undergoing surgery in stable. State lawmakers are not waiting representative adic of scots Briana Taylor law would end no knock warrants already banned in louisville and require officers serving warrants to wear body cameras im disappointed but not surprised justice was not served today and so thats why we will continue to fight for Brianna Taylor and her family and so that no other person is murdered by police with impunity its a start taylors mother told al jazeera in june that her daughters legacy would endure this isnt the way i would have wanted it to be. Still way inland but. In definitely still be helping people so definitely sustained in a war. That changes come at an unimaginable cost to her family and in the view of the crowd in the streets far too little cost to the officers who left her dead in her own home John Hendren Al Jazeera louisville kentucky well its enough for my zip brian whos the executive director of u. C. L. A. s black policy project and he says the grand jury decision is a failure of the criminal Justice System but its not surprising. We have a long history of failing to have officers accountable when things like this happen theres a number of Different Things that have been changed in the situation to prevent this from happening its a tragedy and we should all mourn detain the family they have been a number of progressive piece of legislation across the country i think with the breathe act i think about a number of other bills looking critically about the role of Law Enforcement institutions in our country they havent gotten the traction that they need we need to deal with structural violence thats what causes problems for everybody and thats rooted in systemic failures and i Education Systems and a Public Health infrastructure and i divestment from the institutions of health and well being while we invest in our cars will systems and louisville a disproportionate d share of the city budget goes to hyper policing when it could go to system to care for the same systems of care that are preventing black communities from divers and especially in the covered 1000 crisis we have more that we can do and if the point for the success of pushing for the legislation to organize we have to mourn we have to grieve and then we have to look at policies not more should exist should be fired from one department of jurisdiction and a lot of work in another jurisdiction should never disappear fortunate share of our civic resources going to our systems of harm while i systems of care are completely under the you know under funded we need to think critically about these moments in our history because i dont want to have another unknown person another black person another black woman die at the hands of Law Enforcement we could be investing in systems of care that would prevent the east and said this is from occurring with the u. S. President ial election just over a month away told trumpets refused to say where the hill except to peaceful transfer of power if you lose his front was evasive when asked the question during a white house briefing. Well have to see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster and that people are writing to you commit to making sure that theres a nice little word for all of the want to have get rid of the ballots and youll have a very transpo have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots at a control you know it and you know who knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else. Well democratic president ial kind of it j. Biden has expressed disbelief over trumps comments he says the most rational thing i. Dont want to say youre not surprised. When i tell her friend who is in more than a republican strategist he says the trump comments are less about the transfer of power and more about his concerns over a fair election. The president has consistently said throughout the last few weeks that he is concerned about the election has said at rallies that hes not going to necessarily say right now means going to agree to the results because of the potential for fraud and it might be contested just as the democrat thats contested it 20 years ago and i might add Hillary Clinton the vice former candidate for the presidency has told by his President Biden that he should not concede under any circumstances so i guess he doesnt have power but hes unwilling to concede or shes telling him not to concede even if its clear that he lost so thats undermining democracy its very polarized in our country the president is just simply saying lets watch out for voter fraud through mail in ballots and no im not going to commit to an election that hes uncertain or if you look at paterson new jersey where we have a lawsuit in and an already decided that lection needs to be run again because of mail in and and invalid ballots thats just very recent weve had situations in clark county recently in nevada where weve had more ballots sent than people are on the registered rolls the same thing in Los Angeles County all democrat strongholds so the president is clear about something weve never had universal mail in voting at these suggested levels in states that have not tested the system in our history and yes there is concern it is not just the president is the attorney general the United States has voiced this and a number of other officials i will tell you this secretary of state of Washington State a democrat said that state took 5 years to perfect their mail and voting no bad is proposing to do it in 6 weeks of course the president is correct.

Israel is announce treaty coronavirus restrictions after a search of cases of the past 2 days has been less than a week since israel impose its 2nd nationwide lockdown only essential businesses will remain and. Now a south korean official who went missing from a fishing patrol boat on monday was shot dead and then burned by north korea thats according to the south Korean Military who says the man was trying to defect across the maritime border when he was spotted by north korean troops right is following developments from solid rock what more do we know about this. This is turning out to be a very serious incident the as we know now had a very gruesome outcome this all unfolded over the course of a couple of days at the start of this week it was on monday that the crew of this south korean patrol vessel discovered that this official had gone missing and then discovered on tuesday they say that he was spotted on some sort of flotation device or raft but in north korean waters just north of the boundary of the maritime boundary between north korea and south korea and had been intercepted by a north korean patrol vessel and now south korean officials tell us that there was a lot of radio traffic between the north korean vessel and its headquarters presumably because intelligence had been listening in to that traffic and of the reveal that later on tuesday thats when they discovered that this official was shot multiple times and that the north korean soldiers on board the ship then set fire to his body now this has caused a as you would imagine a very angry reaction here in south korea south Korean Defense officials have condemned this as an act of brutality weve had a meeting thursday of the National Security council with the president s office also issuing a condemnation and calling for a full apology from north korea and announcing that as as of now security measures are now being stepped up on the border theres always of course its always very tense between the 2 koreas but more so right now. Thats right the level of tension seems to reflect the current state of play in relations between north and south korea and as we know the last few months relations have soured and thats part of the problem at the moment is that because of the souring of relations north korea has cut all of the hotlines across the d. M. Z. So its very difficult for south korea to make its. Displeasure felt in north korea and get any kind of reaction and response or even an apology from north korea and it also does seem to indicate the level of paranoia that north korea seems to have about the covert 19 because we know from south korean officials that apparently the crew of this north korean vessel were wearing gas masks and the fact that they burned the body seems to be in indicate that they were taken extreme measures not to import covert 19 of course it remains about the only country in the world that claims it doesnt have any of the coronavirus and it wants to keep it that way of course big given all of the myriad problems that it faces from sanctions and failed crops because of typhoon damage etc and it does seem to indicate the measures to which they are prepared to go to make sure that they dont get coated 19 or rob thanks for the insult. But it was simply said again crackdown on protesters and make. It sound like a shank who was sworn in as president in a surprise ceremony Security Forces use water cannon to disperse crowds because shanker has been under mounting pressure to resign after last months disputed election in several countries say they will not recognize his presidency hes called his inauguration a victory for him but mainly as more.
