Hong kong of its special status as china imposes a new security in the war on the region designed to quell the protests there. Hello and welcome its a pm here in moscow and youre watching r. T. International with me the caring and our top story civil unrest is spreading across the u. S. As anger over the death in Police Custody of george floyd escalates amid loosing torched buildings and protesters clashing violently with police the governor of the city of minneapolis where floyd died has announced the full mobilization of the National Guard something thats not happened since world war 2. Thank you. I think you i thank. You got that you got all of. Your board with me now on the ground all those other officers walking. On thursday night protesters set a Police Station in minneapolis on fire they demanded the arrest of the officer who kneeled on floyd snake before he died something thats now happened the fatal arrest happened the fatal arrest happened on monday 3 other officers stood by as floyd was pinned to the ground by ne for almost 10 minutes early marriage the civil rights attorney representing George Floyds family described to was a longstanding pattern of Police Brutality against ethnic minorities in the u. S. Americas the Deadliest Police culture in the modern world there is no nation on the planet that kills in the car so its more of us people we are in a crisis position Tony Ben Crump and i announced this morning that we are taking these families the family of george floyd a model be on a taylor to washington d. C. And we want to discuss comprehensive police reform. Bringing this case before the United NationsHuman Rights Council so that we can receive sanctions against the United States for its probation is in continual denial of basic human rights to the Africanamerican Community. Right now are met our primary goal is to show to ensure that the appropriate charges move forward and so we are not satisfied yet 3rd degree murder is in appropriate charge that means it was an accidental killing like manslaughter the the the partner charge they they levy if i get in my car i get a drug that only intend to kill anybody but its reckless behavior that could result in somebodys death thats manslaughter this 3rd degree murder but when i apply pressure for sustained period of time to a critical area of someones throat. Thats and its all about foreseeability its foreseeable that that kind of action will result in death or Bodily Injury so thats murder were looking for speaking with the governor on behalf of the the family and encouraging him to activate the attorney general keith ellis to come in take over this in this case bring the appropriate charges and make the requisite arrests. The family is very concerned about the safety of the public these people are standing up not only for george theyre standing up for themselves is standing up for the community but theyre doing so by standing up against begin one of the most Brutal Police forces on the planet and i dont mean minnesota i mean the American Police force in general they only know 2 things incarceration and brutality and so they are concerned that when. Interlopers come and break things and bird things that invites harm to other peoples children they dont want to see that happen and especially cities in the u. S. Have seen protest song less strength with National Guards also deployed in various states when i join my fight with me a white man whos now in plano well good to see you how has new york has reacted to events a minnesota. Well i mean as we saw last night the reaction was one of rage i think thats the best way to put it there were 2 major demonstrations happened one of them was in Downtown Manhattan across the water the but the biggest one happened in brooks and im currently in bed stuy this is where i live Protesters Thousands of protesters joined a march which began at the barclay sense arena and then snaked its way through brooklyns various neighborhoods surround the night you could have Police Sirens helicopters multiple arrests that was several violent confrontation between the police and most of courtown was reportedly thrown into a police van and several parked cars are also reports its have been damaged we dont yet know at this stage how many people were arrested the best estimate we have is that we have scores of people the rest of the moment certainly demonstrations across the country we saw more people being arrested for example we know now around 200. 00 people arrested during a similar protests in houston. So this is it was a very very big night of rage for new yorkers engine Interesting Development that i just like to point out is that the transport Workers Union local 100 which represents the workers here in new york they actually tweeted instructing them members not to work with the n. Y. P. D. Because there were reports that the n. Y. P. D. Had come in did n. C. A. Buses to transport arrested individuals and the transfer Workers Union tweets and saying that we do know we have the n. Y. P. D. For the people of new york so thank you a really good idea of new york his reactions the transport workers siding with the people on this one certainly i mean weve just seen Governor Cuomo just finished a press conference in which he essentially said you know if youre going to go im. At least make sure. Its a very different reaction compared seeing the governor of. Kentucky and in recent developments he was so appealed to new york because thats a rangers and encourage them to seek more peaceful forms of protest and this is something that follows like a and nights of rage almost a palestinian state is a fight of it has been raging around the country in d. C. Who so protest is attempts to storm the white house some tweets in saying that had they breached the rules they would have been greeted with vicious dogs and on the next weapons to court thats right the slide out in detroit a 19 year old man was killed he was shot dead and identified suspect in a sports and its a car and fatah shot. We dont yet have any. Idea who this individual was and why they attempted to find there was speculation on this was a right wing individual acting against the protesters which has been very much orientated towards the last it down in atlanta we saw 1000 protesters marched on the georgian state capital and they attempted still on the c. N. N. Building an Incredible Development that the Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was actually called a state of emergency and his call for 500 state troops to be sentenced on the streets to try and keep the peace ive seen reports as well that hes likely to call for a few similar its what we have going on in minneapolis they have the. Other cities where. This is a big night now this is well so we had and also houston as i mentioned earlier people arrested in louisville kentucky there was a large large protest movement of the. Killing of an africanamerican woman by the. People that extra and. If you want to put it that way and in l. A. Weve seen reports of large demonstrations police raiding houses and oakland as well ive just seen reports that she was around 1 am in the morning last night is that demonstrations continued there was gas being deployed against them streets. Thank you for updating us on the situation from where you are thats a freelance journalist William Whiteman thank you thank you governor of minnesota to claim some of the violence is no longer about george floor it in this video you can see among trying to burn the American Flag in los angeles on an atlanta news outlet cnns office was a top spire rises. You are not in the newsroom this is from your christer job some people are laughing some people are videotaping or something on fire chris a firecracker. Fired. Youre right youre ok well the protests are dominating global Media Coverage on his caleb maupin looks at how that coverage compares with the protest in baltimore some years back. Shocking put it has emerged the protesters breaking windows forging buildings and clashing with the Police Thousands of taking to the streets to protest against the recent killing and george lloyd but Police Protests have spread far beyond minnesota all across the country clashes are taking place across american streets that. I minnesotas governor tim waltz has declared a state of emergency i am answering our local leaders request for minnesota National Guard assistance to protect peaceful demonstrators neighbors and Small Businesses in minnesota. President trump has promised to seize control of needy apples and says that there will be shooting if there is more looting the tweet was flagged and suppressed because twitter said it was more of find violence these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i wont let that happen just to give new to mills and told him that the militarys with. Any difficulty and will assume control box when the looting stones the shooting stones thank you u. S. Attorney general has been deployed to investigate the actions of the officers who took boyds life i feel very very. Badly its a very shocking sight bill and i were talking about it before its one of the reasons bills here right. Because as you know were very much involved and ive asked attorney general f. B. I. And the attorney general to take a very strong look and to see what went on liberal leaning American Media as declare the killing of george war and the protests that erupted in its aftermath it into a long after no Police Brutality racism and the government nor in the concerns of africanamericans we do begin with breaking news we want to welcome our viewers in the United States and all around the world fires are still burning on the southside of minneapolis after protesters took to the streets to demand justice for george cloyd how do you raise your children in this America Today im not sure there is an answer necessarily although. You point to angela davis who says its not enough to be nonracist you have to be antiracist however the same media seemed far less sympathetic in 2015 after baltimore lit up in response to the Police Killing of freddie gray. Was. In 20 the scene concerns of the Africanamerican Community soon to be the last thing the American Media was concerned about while artsy was covering the protests c. N. N. Was covering a fancy dinner at the white house the streets of baltimore are filled with protesters everyones wining and dining and this is happening 5060 miles away so you cant ignore that now. You cant ignore that. And yet that its important i do want to get to the red carpet da from us media finally got around covering the protests for trade simply violent ground clashing with the police showing the protesters to be more less violent hoodlums a handful of protesters handful of criminals and thugs. Who tore up the place isnt it the right word so calling them thugs just call them they just call them at least 15 Police Officers have been hurt 200 arrests 144 vehicle fires that these are statistics the local place or put out 15 structure fires theres no excuse for that kind of violence right so what changed why is u. S. Media suddenly concerned about africanamericans is it perhaps that u. S. President donald trump is widely used to being a racist those protests back in 20 seen in baltimore did not fit the liberal narrative that rock obama was leading us toward the post racial era i think if you look historically at the Mainstream Media and other things that have had. And they havent reacted this way and it makes you wonder just why are they giving this so much coverage in the way that they are its the angle of the coverage and i think like many i believe that it may have a lot to do with elections and the political narrative right now and thats incredibly wrong turning this into something where were allowing people especially these extreme leftists to come in and start fires i think were actually feeding into a much darker narrative its not about this mans death and thats unfortunate its a battle actions while many are deeply concerned about killing of an innocent man it seems that powerful forces are not afraid to push their own political agenda it will mop and party new york. Theyre excited in the you know former Police Officer who penned george floyd down has been arrested hes also been charged with 3rd degree murder which is applied when no intention to kill is suspected were joined live now by mr may have a friend of George Floyds family its good to see you welcome to the program how well did you know george. I didnt know him very well but he was. A big person in our community here and he was no you know he was a rapper from houston so he was kind of a small i was. At the protest of this but quickly with people marching as far afield as did you expect this scale of reaction. I did actually did. You know people dont know but this is like our baby for Police Killing in our community you know weve been peaceful you know we we lost for lendl to land ok still with r. J. Marquardt. We. Moved you know these are people that weve lost and we were peaceful peaceful protests and right now were just were fed up this anger thats been boiled over from multiple deaths in our community so i was surprised by the reaction from this bit. Of the Police Officer who knelt on georges neck has now been charged with 3rd degree murder do you think thats going to calm tensions knots not uncommon at all when we found out that he was only charged 33 murder they tried to you know implement a curfew for us didnt work at all were still angry with the angry behind that you know there were more buildings that burned down after we found out about. The 3rd degree charge its his his it was it was definitely intentional you know 3rd degree is unintentional were not happy with this with this charge at all at all. And the National Guard has not been mobilized how does the things playing out things just going to become more violence. You know. The protesters and the people theyre not afraid by the National Guards actually you know like i said a curfew was implemented you know the protesters. You know theyre still out there you know they actually took one of the National Guards. What are you their humvees states they stole one of them theyre actually protesters that are out there that were shooting at the National Guards you know theres people that are angry and upset so the National Guard thats not upset in the us and thats not that thats not movement the protesters at all thats not stopping us from you know displaying our anger about this you know about this an act of violence you know he was murdered in cold blood. So whats he going to take for for this to come to an end for the rights to come to an end what is to come to an end you know now you were just picking up one officer theres actually 4 officers thats that thats involved in this crime and this act of murder we want to all to be charged with murder at least 2nd degree murder intentional because when you sit there and you had to get down on a mans neck for 20 minutes you know and theyre screaming and tell you that they cant breathe you know what i mean. You dont youre intentionally killing this man you know people dont know they both were you know big floyd was a bouncer at a same place where this guy was doing security at they know each other well you know this guy this is like his 3rd 2nd or 3rd homicide as a Police Officer as a peace officer you know. You know we want the right charges to be you know presented. At least at least 2nd degree intentional murder you know 3rd degree get 5 years to 3 years and beyond thats not good enough were not going to stop its not going to stop you know you can you can implement all these curfews this martial law all were fed up this is anger thats been well over 6 years and years and years of anger behind the senseless deaths you know weve been getting murdered in cold blood by the people that are supposed to protect us you know and i mean its not its not going to its not going to end well here again you know united jewish clients family how are they doing how they can thank yeah i actually i dont know them personally i just met with them i hung out with them last night for a while theyre very hurt theyre very upset but they have much appreciation for the city of minneapolis for being outraged about you know this untested just the murder thats been committed against their Family Member and their loved one he actually was a guy that has a past history that moved here to change his life he moved to minnesota changed his life and now you know they feel like you know this is this is crazy and theyre very happy with you know theres this casualties theres always casualties or wars you know what i mean and theyre not necessarily you know just happened with you know the town being burned down and people being hurt and things of that nature but just the love that that weve been given them and you know the outcry and the pain that theyre seeing behind their family you know loved ones you know they just they they love it so much. I mean if you were in charge how would you respond to these events how would you respond to the riots will you know the mayor himself the mayor and the governor theyve done this as a murder they know that its a murder. You know the rep for the police the union rep for the police there say hes saying that this is justified and thats just like thats like a spit thats like a slap in the face if i was in charge. I dont i dont know i would charge this man with at least 2nd degree of tension a murder and maybe that the fires will stop you know the fires in the looting in the rioting this is this is out cry of pain from us you know. This is not our 1st this is not our 1st murder that weve been involved with this is continuous ongoing for us you know theres things that have been done that you guys dont know about i myself ive been a victim of Police Brutality i have 2 kids and i have sons im on coach and cofounder of a Football Team and im afraid for them so it just has to stop. And as you see the whole country is fed up we have people in l. A. Riot and we have people in it and in alaska new york kentucky this desk behind it you know what i mean were just fed up as a whole as a country as a whole where were pouring our outcry and in our in our hurt behind things so me i would make the right. Charged 2nd degree intentional murder and make sure that theres a conviction because theres a lot of police that get charged with these things but theyre never going back so it gives them the feeling that they have on you know a license to kill they can do whatever they want they do whatever they want with us this isnt this guys 1st homicide its like a spurt you know so this is how he goes about doing things whatever to yes on the shoulder for us i dont understand why or why or whats going on but this is the way he moves this guy needs to be charged and convicted with the proper crime 2nd degree can intentional murder at least. There have been so many other similar cases 2 to what happened to georgia in a pos but this time with george it does kind of feel different this is being felt around the well its do you think that in a sense this is the final straw. This is definitely a fun strong if things if if if they dont react to this properly. Its going to be more fight. The city will burn and thats my word this is the final straw this is the straw that broke the camels back and will not allow it anymore we will not allow it anymore we need for you you know governor wallace everyone we need for you to respond properly otherwise we will continue they will continue to be more files the continue to be more lewd and it will continue to be more d pain and outcry demolition we dont want it that way you know what i mean im not i dont im not in agreement with everything that goes on with this but people are fed up and its not just blacks its whites its aids its native americans were fed up we dont want this to happen anymore to see a guy on camera. Cry out for his mother that died a year before. Cry out until you reach police clean as in handcuffs and in handcuffs. You know what didnt resist at all came what you along get resisted all the cry for his mother that died a year before today for him to sit there and cry out and tell you that you were upset or angry or hurt i could watch the whole video myself theres a lot of people that grew up in that neighborhood that know big lloyd know how good of a man and good of a guy he is despite what the alleged crime he was you know the crime he was alleged. Were not going to have not one more murder by the hands of the people that are paid by our tax to protect us were not going to have not one more murder we dont care what. To say or we dont care what we have to do to get the attention of you all to do what youre supposed to do we dont care thats the last straw. And as to my hand thank you for talking to us and to stay safe yes maam. Well many of the areas that have seen protests over George Floyds death have also sting significantly you say. And anybody comes by over the water you know that you feel welcome and hopefully you know this will help so that they will come and destroy our property here. Was. The right way to do a little bit right you know. Pretty birds and you know its got this large were going to go back down the river start a business food and run away with the money but you got to see if youre going to do what you got to do a political commentator on t. V. Host told us the tragic death of george floyd has been hijacked by left wing radicals unlimited. Now that the Police Officer has been charged with murder you would think that this would calm the situation down and certainly you know like most americans im hopeful that it will definitely that was needed and its good that they found him and charged him but you have to ask yourself the question the track record of this particular officer was over looked again and again and again why was he allowed to be in that position and its a very scary time for the People Living in the city when they know that that was tolerated whether by Law Enforcement self by the mayor the administration the people that were in charge tolerated somebody with this kind of record being in that position and thats something that needs to be addressed so i dont know that its going to combat rethinkers i think people are very upset right now but that doesnt mean that they need to resort to violence and certainly looting and fires and things that are happening dont create change and i think turning this into something where were allowing people especially these extreme leftists to come in and start fires i think were actually feeding into a much darker narrative that its certainly not honoring this man who died so horrifically 1st and foremost we need to really be vetting these officers this man had a very terrible record as a Police Officer i think basically and a logically there should be no reason with someone like that should be allowed to be a Police Officer lets look at that lets look at the basic facts you have to be qualified for the job we need to vet the people that are protecting us. Now spread beyond the u. S. Border with people gathering near the u. S. Embassy in berlin people are chanting slogans and Holding Signs with the phrase black lives matter its unclear yet within the protests one was all for riots another peaceful protest is being planned in london for tomorrow. Which is a recount. Story now multiple cities in different u. S. States have seen a night of violent protests over the death of george floyd while in Police Custody buildings have been set on fire and businesses looted a protest of denouncing racism and Police Brutality amid clashes with Law Enforcement. If they dont want to give us justice and theyre not going to be any peace so much go we are tired his name was george lloyd. I want i want change oh we all want change
