Police in minneapolis has now turned into a National Protest movement in different u. S. Cities demonstrators are taking to the streets and in some cases these protests have turned violent. We begin in Minneapolis Police where and 7 strangers have been clashing for more than 2 days now with opportunistic looters taking advantage of the situation late last night memphis angry residents there took to the streets to demand justice and to ask for investigations not just in George Floyds case but for many in their own city civil rights activists say memphis has a spree of Police Incidents that remain unresolved and in los angeles angry demonstrators took to bypasses in some cases attacking Police Vehicles as they approached leaving several people injured. If there is a kernel of hope or at least a difference in how past cases of police abuse have been handled compared to this case the timeliness of the reaction in years past in cases like baltimore and ferguson and miami and Los Angeles Police officers would have called for and been granted long exhaustive time consuming investigations while the officers were put on leave with pay or demoted to a desk job. In this case the f. B. I. Was called immediately and the officers were fired from their jobs within hours of the incident still but the anger. And the fires smolder. So were going to be bringing you details of what. Is happening in those cases with analysis and were also going to drill down right here on the news the rick sanchez where we believe its time to do news again. Heres a list of the questions were going to be asking them all after watching our newscast tonight can america handle racial disturbances and a pandemic all at once what does minnesotas former governor think about the events taking place in his home state of minnesota and when can we hope to see our favorite sports back in action. Were going to take you to all of that but really begin tonight with discord throughout america the death of george floyd is causing citizens to outwardly question authority and all of this is happening at a time when america is coming to grips with the worst health an economic crisis perhaps in our nations history it is to say the very least a very unfortunate very untimely combination of events so we have 2 reports and we have a bevy of guess we begin with r t correspondent Michelle Greenstein reporting on the situation in minneapolis where this incident began. Wednesday the 2nd street day of protests against Police Violence in minneapolis minnesota people gather and hold signs reading justice for george and prosecute the police. Protests were sparked by the death of George Clooney who was heard crying out i cant grieve until you lost consciousness im being held down with a needle in his neck by a Minneapolis Police say this man was murdered by police. And not only should they be fired which they are they should be equally prosecute. Were not all are not the only problem they follow though i get a dog. So i can protect my throat at other. Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets from the rooftops. As the canisters explode and tear gas clouds fill the intersections demonstrators try and document the clashes with their phones. Autozone target and dollar tree all came under assault by both protesters seeking vengeance and eventually looters. The demonstrations carried on into the night with protesters conducting sit ins on city streets with impromptu chance like this one. Thursday morning the destruction of the night before looms in the air part of the auto zone store is still burning and so is the target building. As the afternoon sets in crowds start to accumulate again. As for the 4 officers involved in floyds death they have been fired the protesters say they will continue to. Business as usual until the officers are charged with murder for the news with Rick Sanchez Michel Greenstein r. T. And its not just minneapolis another American City feeling the brunt of the of george floyd at the hands of police in memphis tennessee where hundreds of protesters there shut down streets in order to demonstrate against their own Police Department which they say has been heresy in residents for years. Oh. Oh. Oh oh oh that scene is from memphis the knowledge to this let me take you to los angeles in los angeles residents took to the highways underpasses blocking traffic taking on Police Cruisers and holding vigils and very loud demonstrations to angrily protest the death of george floyd who died thousands of miles away here now with more on that story from los angeles correspondent natasha sweet. Tensions are mounting between police and those calling for justice in George Floyds debt several 100 protesters blocked traffic on the one freeway near Downtown Los Angeles wednesday shocking images reveal to california Highway Patrol vehicles were attacked protesters are surrounding one vehicle smashing in the windows one protester climbs onto the cars hood taking a hard fall as the officer drives off you can see the man is covered in blood as he lays on the ground and conscious he is treated and taken to the hospital by an ambulance a 2nd Police Vehicle seen also has its windows smashed in by protesters activists who gathered near city hall marching through the streets just before getting onto the one freeway blocking the flow of cars Officials Say traffic on the expressway was much lighter than normal as a result of california state home orders for the crown of virus pandemic just before 630 the crowd moved on. The freeway back onto the streets of downtown into the evening some protesters were seen and burning an American Flag upside down tearing the remains toward a row of officers in los angeles protests came just hours after l. A. Police chief Michael Moore issued a statement condemning the video of floyds death as incredibly disturbing reporting for the news of her Sanchez Natasha suites r. T. All right this is an important discussion that were about to bring you that has to do with much of what is being discussed right now in america and dining room tables and kitchen tables all over our country joining us now is ed martin he is the author of the conservative case for trump and Robert Patillo who is a radio show host and a civil rights attorney thank you gentlemen for joining us. Maybe we should start with this can we stipulate among the 3 of us that what we saw on video happened to george floyd seems like an abuse of power by a Police Officer yes sir do you agree. Yes sir yeah peter i think i totally agree i think all and i think all men and women of every color stripe age location should agree with that what we saw was a man suffering and then he died and i mean this is a devastating moment and so i think its thank you for starting with that rick thats not acceptable behavior it makes me sick to see it and i dont think he should anybody republican conservative liberal democrat lets lets agree on that i agree ok good then maybe we should talk about the other issue and maybe that thats as important as well and that is the fact that unlike cases that ive covered as a reporter many times Baltimore Ferguson miami l. A. I go way back ive never seen a police chief act as fast as this police chief acted in both a involving the f. B. I. Right away and firing the officers within hours of the incidents can we stipulate that that was probably a good thing and i think. I think i want you to yes. Because what it will do. I think the reason that we have is that we have right now because we have seen a complicity in the prosecutorial apartment and not arresting these individuals and charging them from the get go if you or i or me also. We go to jail they figure out Everything Else later these men are still walking the streets not arrested is that reason for these. People so robert i think what im hearing you say to be fair is yes this is the fastest that any municipality has ever acted in punishing 4 Police Officers but they didnt go far enough because we didnt wally want them fired we wanted them prosecuted on the spot thats what im hearing you say correct. Any other citizen who calls it the unjustified homicide of the other individual you let them go through the criminal Justice System you do not allow somebody to kill somebody to go home point well made well defended im going to let you speak take it away. Well listen i you know you mentioned Rick Ferguson i was. For the Missouri Republican party when ferguson the great tragedy happened that young boy who died it was a tragedy every death we should stop and say how did this happen but in that case the officer was vilified and the and the situation was much more complicated i agree the images we saw of what that officer did on the neck of that young man and he died is horrendous after that i do sink we have are having protests about concerns and injustice we need to be careful to conflate them with this situation i do say did we ask our officers to be on the front line i dont think it excuses any behavior but i dont know the whole story and i guess i think they should have been suspended immediately and then get to the bottom is what it did she may have found that out quick enough but the riots and the burning of buildings and endangering other lives based on concerns this 2 of the members of the police force or fire people of color ok this was not a white on black this was a bad cop situation if thats the facts look at robert let me let me bring you back into this discussion i think this is an important discussion would you make america everybody whos watching us and by the way we have viewers right now all over the world millions of people are going to hear the sound of your voice would you help the world and the rest of us understand what is that gut level frustration that you feel as an africanamerican that is being unjust help us understand that help us understand put it to me put us in the shoes of these people we see on the streets protesting who are just curious. What we have witnessed in the return we see one of these situations or d man who was murdered by his own government. There is a video there are. Thousands of cases there are video months of law schools getting off home from the library infamous only heard of a police car. In chicago. Leaving court as a. Police officer after leaving court also includes officers so below frustration youre saying its. This is emblematic of what other people are going through that want to be whole so reform or criminal Justice System so all this was was a spark this was the catalyst to get people out to say its not about this its about everything thats happened to me in my house in my life and everything that ive seen before i think thats what im hearing you say good arguments on both sides look bad robert great conversation i hope more americans have conversations like the one that we just shared my thanks to both of you. This is the news with lots going on. And were going to try and get you through it and were trying to make sense of all of it for you right here whether youre watching us on cable regular t. V. Or on the portable television up if you dont have it get it so you can take us with you wherever you go were not like the other guys and well be right back. Every the world experience. According to just. Seeing the horrors that arise with money and evil. Corporate criminals who trashed countless lives to add just one more dollar to their billions. They threaten they arrive theyll do anything to keep their crimes in the door but the people theyve heard are demanding justice their stories need to be told on americas mayor. Oh oh. We go to work. Straight home. And the corporate parasites in power today might think they just stroll continue forever whether theyre right or wrong we have to keep fighting question. Welcome back im rick sanchez just moments ago the u. S. Attorney the federal prosecutor for the state of minnesota along with several f. B. I. And some local prosecutors as well came out and made a joint announcement there in minneapolis they did not announce charges against the all sir or the officers who appeared to be responsible for the death of george ford but they did say this. We understand this is parody of this situation and it breaks my heart to see what is going on in our streets in minneapolis and in st paul and in some of our suburbs and i am pleading i am pleading with individuals. To remain calm and to let us conduct this investigation. Thats not what the protesters want to hear and were going to get into that in just a minute heres whats going on overnight there were more protests there are protests going on right now the protests throughout the evening taken place in memphis and los angeles particularly violent demonstrations in minneapolis at times they looked like riotous situation im not trying to characterize all of it as a riot because it wasnt but there were moments episodic moments when d buildings were burned looting took place and just you know calling it what it is thats what we saw thats what happened joining us now is a former governor of minnesota Jesse Ventura who also hosts the world according to jesse i know this has to be particularly painful for you you like. Where minnesotans i went to school there i still feel like the state is part of me even more so for you you were the governor of that state you grew up in minnesota this is got to be this got to be painful for you governor. Well rick it even goes beyond vast where you see the rioting take place on lake street in many high thats my Old Neighborhood thats where i grew up while i grew up right there in south minneapolis i grew up 2 blocks off a lake street which is the major street that everyone sees burning and the buildings down today show yes this was very personal to me because its a neighborhood i grew up in for 18 years until i joined the United States navy can you understand the frustration thats being felt with so many africanamericans and others by the way because what ive seen in pictures is there are just as many non africanamericans as there are africanamericans in these protests who are furious of what they saw on tape with that Police Officer and they want at least one of those officers namely the one who had the need of the gentlemans neck prosecuted or at least charged immediately. Well again i can answer that i can tell you this rick as a former governor and as a former mayor because i was mayor of Brooklyn Park minnesota theres sort of the worst situation you can ever imagine as an elected official because it puts you in a no win situation no matter what you choose to do someone is not going to like it and theyre going to be vs vehemently angry at you so at the end of the day i found the best way to do it go in be yourself judge for yourself and at the end of the day if you can look into the mirror and be comfortable with yourself then youve made the right decision now let me carry on with their search for a moment im all for protesting i support the 1st amendment more than anybody probably does ive been involved in the stop the Draft Movement the womans equal Rights Movement ive marched in all of those things i march against the Washington Football Team because of their name whenever they come the minnesota but the figure that you got to remember is a white person still cant understand what these black people are going through and let me give you a quick example i have a friend whos a ph d. Hes the head of the sounds of blackness are grammy Award WinningMusical Group and he explained to me what its like and he lives in minneapolis he said before he drives hes a black man before he drives his car at night he puts his license here his insurance here puts his car registration here so he doesnt have to reach for anything i looked at him and said are you kidding me ive been driving in minnesota for 50 years and i have never that fought has never even entered my mind to put my license here my car registration here and my insurance they are sure that if im pulled over by a Police Officer in the night. I wont be seen reaching for something thats what the white people need to understand we dont get it because its never been part of our lives like it is with these black people let me ask you a question as a former navy seal. These other officers not the one who was using his knee against the guys back the other ones who were standing around watching as the man was saying he couldnt breathe and as people in the area were telling the Police Officers he cant breathe are they responsible as well and could you explain to our viewers as a as a former navy seal why. Well i dont know if a navy seal has anything really to do with it rick theres that difference between right and wrong and when youre in a position of power and you have a badge that gives you the power you need to be especially careful of right and wrong yes one of these Police Officers should have stepped in no doubt about it but hindsights 2020 and youd also face tremendous peer pressure probably you know these are groups of people that you know they face adversity all the time so theyre paranoid to begin with and ill tell you what i believe the real problem is untrained officers we in the state of minnesota have no Police Academy the only academy there is our 1st state troopers which are the the the governors police force these local Police Forces all you do is go to college you get a degree in Law Enforcement and then how do you get on the force i dont know youre right around for 6 months what type of training is actually going on like we need Police Academies back where Police Officers go to an academy to learn o. J. T. Ill bring you the navy seal stuff in right here when i became a navy seal the last thing i went to was called seal cabaret where you. You go 7 weeks in the maryland desert and youre taught by veterans who abend vietnam 4 to 5 times who trained you at what youre going to get over there now that is what these Police Officers need they need the job training before they go out on a police force we need Police Academies back now more than ever. Former governor of minnesota just even sure obviously dealing with a very difficult situation in his home state thank you governor we appreciate it very correct. Lets go now to the world of sports chris tucker joining us sports world somewhat intertwined today with some of what were seeing around the country but d i think youre starting us off with what was it Boston Marathon boston known as huge news today now domestically out softly so there wont be any of that this year originally it was so sweet of course april 20th they they postponed it originally to september however theyre saying now for the 1st time in the 124 year history of the Boston Marathon it will not happen this year and i like that that these guys they literally are on top of each other at the starting right heres why they said because only a few elite few dozen elite runners when it had a chance of winning it but theres more than 30000 recreational runners and 1000000 people up to 1000000 people lined the route so they think social distancing will not be impossible by city im sure you cant have social dancing with right thousands of people gathering. At a starting line in the exhibit but its a smart thing to cancel that if you are the back of the law and have to wait in 6 feet or whatever the big and youre going to be a new heres a great example probably will be all the way in new jersey and you know and but they are doing something for the participants they will have a Virtual Event where you can prove that you ran 26. 2 miles and still receive a medal if you didnt get signed up for to make that is thats something but an argument for me there and do your virtual thing on your own run 26. 2 miles if you want i will not be doing a 2nd story 2nd story now were Going International no English Premier League one of the top flight leagues.

Colin kaepernick yes has entered the fray today to tweet yes he did he broke his silence of course yesterday we did show the picture of him that le bron tweeted out but he tweeted when civility leads to death revolting is the only logical reaction the cries for peace will rain down and when they do they will land on deaf ears because your violence has brought this resistance we have the right to fight back rest in power george floyd rest in power and it doesnt sound like hes asking for calm it sounds like people are at their wits end with this and theres no patience left it sounds like people have done everything they can to try to change the system and to that he started out remember cockpit melian to protest Police Brutality and rachel in Racial Injustice theres a piece of america piece protesting kneeling during the National Anthem i guess it is that right yes peacefully and now hes saying you know if this is what people need to do to express their d anger and outrage. Its the fault of the Police Officers using this violence against young black men and killing it sounds like hes frustrated yes i mean that that is not that is not a guy cant we all just get along its a guy saying people are angry theyre protesting good for them they should be they should be angry yes wow all right thanks lots of stuff going on and thanks for bringing it to us and thats our news im rick sanchez obviously lots going on if there are more developments overnight obviously were going to be following all of those for you they are going to be right here catch us on portable t.
