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 demonstrators 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. Here are the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow after watching your 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 is the earths Magnetic Field actually tilting and whats that mean for you. 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 and 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. Were not all are not the only problem they follow though and ive got a daughter dont think i can protect my throat 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 cumulate again. As for the 4 officers involved in floyds death they have been fired the protesters say they will. Destructing business as usual until the officers are charged with murder for the news of the 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 residence for years. Oh. Oh. 00000000. Oh oh oh that scene is from memphis. Now lets do this let me take you to los angeles in los angeles residents took to the highways and the 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 here you can see the man is covered in blood as he lays on the ground unconscious 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 in. Off 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 natashas 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 of thank you for starting with that rick thats not acceptable behavior and 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 incident can we stipulate that that was probably a good thing and i think. I think i want you to yes. Absolutely is what it will do. I think the reason that we have the is that we have right now because we have seen a complacency 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. Like any other citizen who calls it the. Homicide of the other individual you go through the criminal Justice System you do not allow somebody to. Go home point well made well defended im going to let you speak take it away. Well listen i you know if you mentioned Rick Ferguson i was chairman of 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 that 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 id use think 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 issue of the members of the police force or fire people of color 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. Every time there is a video there or. Cases there are months when i would go to law school was getting off a bus coming home from the library and i saw on the hood of a police car my head in chicago big leaving court as an attorney and pulled over by Police Officers after leaving court and Police Officers so the level of frustration youre saying is this is emblematic of what other people are going through that were going to get a hold reform or criminal Justice System so all this was was a spark this was that 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 i have seen before i think thats what im hearing you say good arguments on both sides look at 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 of direction and she has lots going on.

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 officer 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 the 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. See 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 buildings were burned looting took place just you know calling it what it is thats what we saw thats what happened joining us now is a former governor of minnesota d 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 rikard even goes beyond. 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 were 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 to that i can tell you this rick as a former governor and as a former mayor because i was mayor of Brooklyn Park minutes rode up there since the war situation you can never 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 theirs 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 ive march against the Washington Football Team because of their name whenever they come the minnesota but the figure that you got to remember is as a white person still cant understand what these black people are going through. 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 a valid thought 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 me 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 from navy seal has anything really to do with it rick theres a 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 it 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 are 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 your ride 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 go 7 weeks in the model and desert and youre taught by veterans who abandoned vietnam 4 to 5 times who train 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 aventura obviously dealing with a very difficult situation in his home state thank you governor we appreciate it very clear record here is Something Interesting for you the earth the place that you who inhabit is surrounded by a massive Magnetic Field generated from all the heavy metals in the core of the planet that you know that its one of those nerdy but really cool things that we probably dont think about you see the sun which is 1000000 times larger than the planet it spits out solar flares it can even damage satellites but it cant hit us because were protected by these Magnetic Fields right one in the south one of the north but now for some reason this Magnetic Field is weakening why lets find out joining us astrophysicist one solaire hes joining us from berlin. I understand its tilting right its moving like Something Like 2030 miles to one side what is going on to get a great. Northern magnetic pole of the year that has been moving for the last 20 use around a rate of 50 meters if its moving from one end is near i live in the north of candor that the word savior here and there is a change that we havent seen for a while what he said to be sweet and i said of european satellites. How to make sure and then normally in a minute the field in the south side of money was well known something that we have to protect our satellites against east increasing in size and its a big crease in the strength of the Magnetic Field by around our sense so youre saying the earths Magnetic Field is getting weaker. That is correct and you know how many people the years of measuring something Magnetic Field memory just ring around a 10 percent decrease of the strength of the Magnetic Field so all do you think it can happen and there are many the field is going towards something that we have seen in the past would you say i mean if you reverse nor me the pole is going to become the south i mean the whole and everything is going to magnetically or were seeing something that is just a mediation from do the regular magnet heat or Something Like that so you can have in your greatest well c. P. B. Earth Something Else that is a 2nd possibility let me hit you with the money question here whats it mean to me as a as a as an earthling what was going to happen is bad is good what the me. What is certainly bad satellites and the communications electric grid its all of these essential services for the mother and i can be affected and i want to make you feel basically in the moment if you know its weakening in parts of the air that is going to lead to these charged particles that are coming from the sun and in the solar wind to bring in training to be aired and that can damage satellites and i think communication grids and also electric rates remember that a solar flare and free produce the blackouts in the United States in the eightys so this is something that we have to be aware about but at the masses they need Something Like a complete earth i dont have a symbolic move move. Thank you for reminding us that because that may have been one of my next questions juan solaire astrophysicist well always good to talk to these smart guys thank you my friend i appreciate the information but certainly once again as we began this newscast we told you that there are 3 different cities in the United States right now that seem to be at the boiling point with protesters and in some cases riotous situations were going to scale top of that for you well bring you the latest as it happens to see the news rick sanchez see right here dont forget download portable t.
