Passes 100,000 coronavirus cases. Sports fans will not be defeated by social distancing. Denmark comes up with an Innovative Solution for football fans. Barbara thank you for joining us. A brother of a black man that died in Police Custody last week is calling for calm after the death sparked protests across the u. S. Insisting on are an end to police brutality. Flyers and posters cover the ground where george floyd was forced to lie for nearly nine minutes, gasping for breath as a Police Officer knelt on his neck. Peacefully. Please. Brother moved here from houston and i used to talk to him on the phone. He loved it here. I highly doubt, i know that he would not want you all to be doing this. Relax. Is doing it, barbara the family says an autopsy shows george died of asphyxiation from sustained pressure on his back and neck. Preliminary findings for an official report found Underlying Health issues contributed to his death. The evidence is consistent with mechanical asphyxia as the cause of death and homicide is the manner of death. Second inies in certain cases can be important to confirm and or dispute the original diagnosis, to answer those unanswered questions, to ,ollect and document evidence and most importantly, to determine the cause and manner of death. John is live in minneapolis. How does the independent autopsy the family commissioned square with what we have heard from prosecutors. Prosecutors . There seem to be two different narratives. John there are two competing autopsies. We have not seen the official one from the Corners Office but we know bits about it because it is mentioned in charging documents prosecutors used to charge the Police Officer. They say the police contributed to george floyd staff but they also said it was not by asphyxiation and they mentioned Underlying Health conditions like hypertension. That is contradicted by the independent autopsy which says notas asphyxiation and not only was it asphyxiation, but it was not just the officer with his knee on his neck that caused the death. It was also those that caused it was also those that put their knees on his back. There are three officers who kneels behind him and the autopsy says his lungs were compressed which stopped air to his brain. Cutting off air in his neck had the same effect. This will be argued about in court and there will be competing sides taken. Barbara in the meantime, we can see protests continue across the country. Protesters are likely to take you think do protesters are likely to take the advice of George Floyds brother where he asked people to stop the violence . John it depends on what protesters we are talking about. At the memorial, this has always been a place of peace. And theome here buildings here have not been looted. Pay respectse to and give speeches. There is music. It is somber but kind of festive. Thousands of people here. These protesters probably will not stay out late. There is a Different Group of protesters, a more hard core group and in the first four days of protesting, we saw buildings burning and looting and in the last two nights after National Guard troops joined the ones already here plus hundreds of verye, we saw police aggressively crack down on any gathering of protests after curfew. They used force, rubber bullets, tear gas, and very aggressive. I expect people will come out late tonight and break the curfew but the police might once again on the night. Barbara john will be monitoring developments for us. The latest from minneapolis. Thank you. The u. S. President has reportedly urged state governors to take a tougher stance against protesters, saying they looked weak in their response. U. S. Media reports donald trump cold told governors to dominate and make arrests. He made the call hours before the National Guard with military style vehicles was seen arriving on the white house at the white house to bolster perimeter security. Our reporter is outside the white house where more protests are taking place. People have been gathering for hours for several nights and days of this. We are one or away from the curfew. Are is the situation we one hour away from the curfew. What is the situation like . Get tor the closer we curfew, the more people are arriving. Hundreds just arrived from the capitol hill direction. I hear there is another demonstration outside congress. We are outside the white house. There were hundreds of protesters of air. Over there. Police and we understand the National Guard is around here. It will depend on what happens. Been donald trump has calling for robust shows of superiority and dominance there is fear in his own backyard National Guard and police will feel they have to react. Its not as if they were using kid gloves yesterday. Randomly striking out at protesters with pepper spray and then retreat back. Protesters imploring on the police to get on their need to show they understand to get on their knees to show they understand. Knee,stead of taking a they tear gassed the crowd. It makes you wonder if the police force is cognizant of what this is all about, which is the over use of force by the police. We will keep an eye on things like. Protesters do not want to give their names. What are you trying to achieve today . We want everyone in the country to know that you cannot hide and say you do not know how we are being treated. We know you are purposely ignoring it. You stay home and laugh at the jokes your uncle tells. We know. We are veterans and we have been in an environment where he raised her hands and we will fight for the country and even as veterans in the military we are treated like secondclass citizens. It has to stop. It is not fair. Broughtd antifa has attention to the movement. I am satisfied to come this way. If your cities have to be torn down, that is on you, because you had a chance. These are your chickens coming home to roost. Reporter there is a narrative of good protesters and bad protesters. But we are on your side do not understand the argument when people show rage by putting things on fire. What do you make of dividing the protesters . I would not personally loot or riot or burned on a building but it is their right as american citizens to demonstrate how they see fit. Peaceful protest is a better American People have left them no other recourse but to burn down cities. Reporter we have donald trump and police being more militarized. Are you seeing the beginnings of change . No. I have been done here for four days and every day i have seen protesters get pepper sprayed on the front line for no reason. It is not changing. You are doing the same thing we keep complaining about. On a truck driver drives through protesters just because you feel like you can drive on this highway at this time, the man who died on that spot, he wanted to drive on the road. It is not fair. Reporter thank you so much. We just heard from minneapolis authorities that they will start using technology for contact tracking being developed for covid19 to now investigate people they are arresting to see who they have been hanging out with and what other people they can arrest. A chilling use of technology we have discussed the last few weeks and discussing the civil liberty implications. It has been warned these surveillance for disease could tod to serve real watch who authorities think our enemies. The curfew is in less than an hour. Barbara we heard that trump is going to make remarks at the inhouse rose garden at four minute. I four minutes. What do you think trump is likely to say . Reporter we heard there has been a debate in the white house for some time that he should make a National Dress but he has such a poor record of combing down own calm calming things down. What would he say . As soon as we heard there would make a statement, the rumor mill went crazy. Because it is donald trump. We have no idea what he would say. We are looking forward to what he says. The National Guard is here and he is calling for a show of force against protesters. There has been pressure on trump and he has spoken since killing but to maybe make a unifying address, this is an election year. You argue it is not in his political interest to make a unifying address for the nation . Reporter it is clear he wants to appeal to his base and talk of scolding the governors and calling them week appeals weak appeals to his base but he cannot rely on 30 of the country for his election. But he needs others to vote for him. I think that is where why there is a debate in the white house. Tries to have a unifying message to appeal to the voters who are perhaps looking for president to show to showp and unity, leadership and unity. Barbara do you think there is to pacifye could say the people protesting outside the white house . Reporter the department of justice special prosecutor and investigation are calling for all the Police Officers involved to be apprehended, arrested on federal charges. I think that would go a long way but what we have been hearing from william barr is the , to strike against the protesters and not what has caused the protest. Lets focus on the protesters and a supposedly terrorist plot. It must be foreigners, it must be the russians, it cannot possibly be organic. Our people would never do it. Must be instigated side they must be instigated from outside. Delegitimize the legitimate protesters by calling. Hem good and bad so they concentrate on that instead of the issue. Downe would not be burning such anes if it was not Angry Society based on policy the. There is a systemic racist economy in the United States that has long been documented. Speaks you have to wonder if it will be another bellicose speech about how he has to do everything himself. Barbara we expect the president to make remarks at the white house rose garden. We will be waiting for him to show up. Our reporter is outside the white house. Something that has been when on for decades, even obama was in the white house. A black man in the white house and things did not change enough. That trumpk the fact is seen as such a divisive figure might punish for more change, and might create the needed momentum for real change in the u. S. . Reporter thats a good point in the center that those who love obama would go easy on him, they would not draw these protests. Obama began on some element of criminal justice but what was issing from his approach its not just attempting to isorm police forces, it systemic and discriminating against black people. It is a pointless enterprise. Police origins are from those who used to capture slaves for landowners and they were hired by the rich to police the poor. It has not necessarily changed. So it would need a systemic change in society. You cannot just monitor the Baltimore Police department for a year. You have to change the whole system. Obama allowed impunity. In theting we have seen financial crash, obama gave it a pass. Is systemic. Byt was trying to be argued new figures in congress, bernie sanders, there has to be a joint approach. I am not quite sure what is happening. This has been what we have seen over the last several hours and suddenly people start running. I can see a lot of police on that side. I wonder if they are advanced. Advancing. Police have advanced and then retreat. Its about keeping everyone on edge. Not an attempt to clear the space, just moving forward in a threatening manner. They have been firing pepper spray and tear gas at anyone in front of them. There is a lot of courage amongst the protesters about police advances. Areeems the police advancing and then stopping and treating. Its more about creating tension. I am told there is a Police Training handbook where the , is to makeehind it everyone a little more enraged. Is in 40the curfew minute. You mentioned 40 minutes. You mentioned people started taking action before curfew came into police came into place. Reporter you wonder if it is just keeping the presence felt while scaring people who are and saying wed are going to use nonlethal force. Keeping the idea of danger how do you get into the mind of a Police Officer who with his colleagues moves forward and pepper sprays everyone . Is there a strategy . We dont know. If we are talking about a police force showing solidarity, we are seeing it. Barbara we have seen limit throughout the country with police forces. We will check in with you again as things develop. We are also waiting to hear from President Trump who is scheduled to make remarks in the white house rose garden. We were speaking about president obama earlier and he has offered advice on how to change american society. In a letter, he wrote, the choices between protests and politics. We have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness and organize and cast their ballots to make sure we elect candidate who will act on reform. If the anchor could be channeled , anchor could be channeled, he could be a turning point in could be anger channeled, it could be a turning point. Has been meeting with black Community Leaders in a church in delaware. Its the second day in a row he has left home to address the unrest and only the third time he has been seen publicly since the lockdown began. He held a Virtual Meeting with the mayors of cities badly affected. The california governor says the address a failed to systemic racism. The black community is not responsible for what is happening. We are. We are. Our institutions are responsible. We are accountable to this moment. Lets call that out. Unique responsibility to the black community in our country. Lets go to rob reynolds in los angeles. Still going on behind you. They seem to be peaceful. Reporter if trump wants to know what a peaceful protest looks like, this is it. People exercising their right to express their political opinions and peacefully gather and protest as guaranteed by the constitution. The police here unlike in washington have kept a low profile. No menacing lines of officers. E have seen them drive past saw a truckload of fully armed National Guardsmen going in that direction about an hour monitoringhave been what has been going on in the city and so far, there do not seem to be any incidents of violence or ransacking or burning. It is early in the afternoon but i think it is notable that two protests that were scheduled to take place today in l. A. Were saidled because organizers they do not want to be joined by people whose intentions do not not want to who do peacefully protest but want to take advantage of the situation. You can hear the chance. Chants. No justice, no peace. The signs say black lives matter. Hear motorist honking to show their support. Latest from los angeles. Social media has captured thousands of encounters between protesters and looters and police. Protesters committing violence while ignoring pleas from black protesters to stop has opened a tense conversation about the role of nonblack people in the movement. Reporter a black woman tried to cry stop to a group of white leaders in oakland but the chaos john terret. Drowns her out. Africanamericans whose lines are on lives are on the line fear. Denver black activists intervene when a white man was defacing public property. When thoseustrated who are not people of color are destroying things in our name and we end up getting blamed. We did not ask for it. Protests the daytime have been largely peaceful throughout the u. S. Nighttime writing has involved people of all nighttime rioting has involved people of all races. Anarchists and white supremacists. We have to write our own stories and part of that is letting us be the voice. Reporter the divisions are not simple. Racesters very various in washington dc attacked a white man after he destroyed a sidewalk and then turned to into police. A young white woman in front of a young black manan by the white house, blocking advancing police. A moment of racial solidarity as many black americans insist they write the chapter of their own history. Gabriella joins us from new york city. What is the situation . It seems peaceful. Reporter it is. We are in brooklyn. Within the next 45 minutes it will be a large candlelight vigil happening for george floyd. Seen inhe first we have new york in the last couple days. Calm called right now right now. Some isolated protests in new york, but small and contained. We expect more this evening. The big news from new york is at city p. M. Local time the will go on complete curfew until 5 00 a. M. Tuesday. That was announced by the governor and mayor of new york a couple hours ago. They will double the number of police on the street. Curtailan attempt to what we have seen the last three nights of looting that has happened late in the evening in new york.
