Certainly glad to have you with us right now civil unrest is spreading across the United States as anger over the death of george floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police boils over demonstrations have erupted in cities across the country since the fatal incident last monday amid looting torched buildings and violent clashes with police and the full mobilization of the National Guard was announced and it is the 1st time that this is happened since world war 2. If they dont want to get the stuff then theyre not going to be any peace so lets go we are tired his name is george clooney. I want i want change we all want change. We got white people thank you Storm National buildings in the state in the countrys capital with a yours but if they see us middle right they can shoot us in the face of the rubber bullet if they see us anything that looks like a good they can kill it on a daily basis. This is what you get when you dont hold other cops accountable when you let them kill other people when you let them kill us we dont hold your partner accountable this is it this is. Protesters have been targeting Police Stations and patrol cars during the week and they were demanding the arrest of the officer who kneeled on floyds neck before he died something that is now happened on a charge of 3rd degree murder the fatal arrest happened on monday 3 other officers stood by as floyd was pinned to the ground by an e for almost 10 minutes earlier i spoke with George Floyds uncle about the tragic event. My cousin is. Begging suffering. Dying. If we were detected can shed just. It seems like that would be. A murder youve never seen anybody executed. By 100000000 people in the world sing my nephew at security because he called for his mother which passed 3 years ago tomorrow and. He went blank and hes never said another word and this young man that stood over him what his name on his name he had a church i admonished a look in his eye like you know what. This is my job to give us literally thats what it seemed like. A didnt have no emotion he didnt have any good looking at it in remorse in it like he was posing after a big animal keil a big gang is telling what it looked like you were just standing there. Just absolutely but. They said that my nephew died at the hospital well. There were 30 people standing around theres an angel and her name is Darnell Fraser that took the video and ive talked to her several times and shes told me shes like maci dont like to sleep on the lights where do you know what weve got some in common watch it just a young lady because i seen. Him in your nephews eyes and. You know on the streets of minneapolis minnesota at 5 oclock in the middle of the afternoon this young man literally executed my nephew and he didnt look like he. Cared whatsoever. And they came they arrested him the particular one the head his knee on his neck yesterday. And the other 4 there was told there and the other 3 has not been. Has not even min approached. Crowds of protesters have gathered outside the white house where tensions have been running high. Well i. Wasnt really a President Trump warned protesters over breaching the white house perimeter and said anyone who did would be met by the secret service with vicious dogs and ominous weapons demonstrators have pushed security barricades down pennsylvania avenue while Police Responded with tear gas trump himself is not even at the white house but instead it was in florida where he attended the space x. Rocket launch on saturday. Over in chicago protesters have been vandalizing Police Vehicles some demonstrators were also seen throwing Water Bottles at riot officers while others moved to Police Barricades or found other projectiles to fire at the authorities. The situation is also tense right now in Los Angeles Police have been firing rubber bullets at the crowds there with the authorities using batons on demonstrators as well during several Clashes Police cars patrol cars were also vandalized several of them in the city has seen large scale protests with over 500 people arrested on friday night. The initial protests that happened in minneapolis and los angeles was the 1st city to have a great opera test so there has been some tension here from the very beginning after this is happening and it was a lot of outrage certainly and now as you know theres more than 30 cities there which is a pity is some type of protest across the country after the death of george floyd and as you mentioned you know last night there were more than 500 people who were arrested in Downtown Los Angeles but we have protests that are they are happening in several places across the city here in l. A. We had you know protests happen. Downtown we have protests happening in the Fairfax District of mats near a popular mall told to grow so thats closer to maybe the hollywood area if youre not as familiar with this area and at least includes cars were damaged another 2 were just set on fire today and 5 cops were also hurts downtown so we know that mary said he spoke and not too long ago and hes talking about having in each pm curfew so that the same thing wont happen that we saw all last night that the lady black lives matter protesters who basically started this movement theyre saying that police have been brutal that theyve been violent and. Not as peaceful as as the mayor has been saying that they were and we understand in oakland 2 federal officers were shot and one of those officers dying as a result last night no can california an assassin cowardly shot to federal protective Service Contractors as they stood watch over a protest one officer was killed and the other is in Critical Condition the f. B. I. The Oakland Police supported by the department of Homeland Security are investigating that attack when someone targets a Police Officer or a Police Station with an intention to do harm and intimidate that is an act of domestic terrorism demonstrators causing great damage all across the city there are fires were set officials reporting cases and vandalism and absolute will businesses and while many arrests were made police were not very specific if the actual shooters of those Police Officers were arrested so still a lot of Unanswered Questions here and the chaos is just beginning. Are we cannot cross live to dave bigging a member of the Communities United against Police Brutality from minneapolis. Fans for being with us here on our 2 international unfortunately under these circumstances. So over the last 2 decades or so the us has seen many cases of Police Brutality involving the black community do you still hold hope that the situation can improve a 2nd. Under that. Will basically given the the level of Police Brutality against the black community in the us my question to you is is there hope that any change can be made will the situation improve in the us. There is only hope if protests like this continue and the people demand that change because weve had a history in minneapolis and elsewhere of one after another of these Police Murders and each time were told that theres going to be change that were going to listen to the community that were going to make this or other policy change and each time its been absolutely empty promises as soon as that t. V. Cameras go away be. Right back to where where they were organizations recommended many many changes over the years its virtually impossible to get the city council and the mayor or the police do you any attention to those and do what its necessary to stop thats kind of violence what about the leadership from the very top that some have accused the president of actually using dog whistles and even promoting the violence what is been your reaction to President Trump and his response to the killing of george floyd. Yes well President Trump its President Trump and weve come to expect that sort of thing im actually more concerned about our supposedly nimble democratic governor mayor city council who who look better and and you know do better for the public but carry out much the same policies regardless. Liberal or conservative democrat or republican we are finding that the Police Brutality goes on and the culture stus the same and thats because none of them want to deal with what needs to be done to bring accountability to the Police Department and they have pointed out over the years how virtually no officers are disciplined in minneapolis and no one in the city council wants to hear that no one wants to do that. We have statistics we have all documented research and just continue same practice out on the streets now dave im going to ask you to. For a little bit of speculation here but i want to touch on something that you just brought up about the system in general in understanding there is a difference between the legislative and the executive and the judicial but the officer who knelt on george floyd has been charged with 3rd degree murder that is something that people wanted is there any chance that he will be sentenced. I think he was only arrested because of whats happened so far and he will only be convicted if there is sufficient pressure to make that happen system business not want to do that our county prosecutor has to avoid prosecuting officers for any level of brutality so that its not going to come from weve been its of the hearts of the people who are in the leadership because they have shown where they are from the beginning the Police Department lied about the circumstances that oh he the officers observed him having a medical problem they knew that was false and then they came out with Something Else after they saw that video eric still liars they are still dishonest and just. And so we dont trust the words of those people and we dont trust some commission that theyre going to set it up it just had a mission and many apple in minnesota out leaks badly encounter all the death suggestions that are nearly worthless and probably wont you know when that in any way so were going to see more of that and were going to have to continue following modes as weve been paying attention in the best years were going to have to continue to benton press for this and were going to have to you have continual outrage in the public and that outrage lets be expressed now the minnesota governor has said that the violence is no longer just about in georgia floyds death and as we have noted there have been protests all across the country now spreading to become more of a National Event are the protests actually being downplayed or getting lost as the rioting grows in intensity. Well the protests and the rioting are not entirely separate events. Certainly opportunist and well its changed from a provocation by the police 1st with the murder word slowly and then moves to reaction in the streets. They have indiscriminately fired tear gas. Rubber bullets flash bang grenades i understand right now its a downtown violating curfew yes but that they are being met by that kind of violence from the Police Department we have a curfew here works well a hoax i heard earlier that will help its not going to be a problem always people have a right to protest and they need to protest even if its after 8 pm so its not working here its not going to work elsewhere because theyre right its anger that all right david whos a member of Communities United against Police Brutality from minneapolis the epicenter of where this is happening now for being with us here on our to international and help us wrap our minds around this crazy crazy situation. Thank you very much more right now over 30 cities in the u. S. Have seen protests a curfews have been imposed across minnesota but also in other cities across the country Atlanta Los Angeles cincinnati denver louvel and portland now the National Guard has been drafted in for a number of those states over in Brooklyn New York thousands took to the streets in clash with police freelance journalist William Whiteman was following it for us. Im now standing in front of a line of police. Just moments ago they attacked us completely unprovoked. 0000. 00000000000000000000000000000000000000 these are different beliefs than what weve been seeing the rest of the march like the beginning of it there was no more Police Officers no weapons or nothing like that we now have police homes with billy clubs and they attacked demonstrators completely unprovoked were being people who are completely unknown it was a very very aggressive show of force the police are different here a lot more militarized now and i have seen the organizers here really slam people from direct confrontations with the police over actually seeing them directly and so became you know a couple of moments where certain individuals tried to. Attack the police as you can see now they are now showing their own another in the 6 were going to when were trying to when we were down we go quickly approaching serious crimes so hes in a place now. Where there arent saying with the line of protests. There was several Police Officers who became isolated because barricades were put out in front of the police car. And they were effectively ambushed there were several protect us from own as you can see this one of the cars going past now its completely smashed today is going on things are really heating up certainly night is fast upon us and as weve seen in the previous days of protests when that happens. You know how tense to break loose but here in downtown brooklyn where we are now it has been. Just pandemonium for the last couple of hours i would say. After protests overnight on friday the new york Police Department claimed agitators were at play in the city. We not just the Police Department but all of new york city suffered last night off to professional and organized agitate his cause havoc on the city resulting in violence injured Police Offices and the destruction of property the mayor of minneapolis is urging the public to stay home explaining that large crowds give cover to people intent on committing crime also called the violent riots domestic terrorism many of the areas that have seen protests over georgia floods death have also seen significant looting here you can see scenes in portland where people are emptying out an apple store. Thank you were anybody comes by over the water you know for the good feel will come and hopefully you know that for how it will be for all you are probably here. Was. The right way lets put it right you know a. Pretty good record of this for actually going to go back down there for people business through the rubble like this. But you got to fix it forget it or to go to do. Local reporter in minneapolis down to hadnt henderson has been following events for us. Well whats going on here now 1st of all the everyones phone just would also be alert that the. Military are now out in the purview is sort of want to be inside but live here all day so basically say they want the dolphins arrested and they dont want this to happen anymore to black people to see will actually want a different they want change theres theres just this is you know my liberties are talking to them to build a like this and there are others who are going in and theyre causing damage but its not exactly one Minority Group its multiple Minority Groups and other races or get involved with this the more dangerous side of the protest theres a sense of pride that their voice is now being heard it started here in minneapolis we dont hear too much about it but if i were making. It starting something all on a positive yes theres theres some danger this and bad things that are part of it but its like our voice is finally being heard is this the other people in other states agreeing with it is a beautiful thing we dont want to see the destruction we dont want to see the death of the violence what you want your voice to be heard when youre finally heard when things start to change the no one nobody no president no citizen once all of these democrats and you know. The governor of minnesota claims that some of the violence is no longer about george floyd on this video you can see a man trying to burn the American Flag in los angeles while in atlanta news outlets c n ns office was attacked by rioters. You are not in the newsroom this is from getting proper job some people are laughing some people are videotaping it something on fire its a firecracker you should fire. Your right you ok a big crowd gathered outside the building to condemn the channels coverage of the Current Events there was a high Police Presence in the area at the time to come up and look at how the coverage compares with the protest in baltimore some. Years back. Shocking put it has emerged that 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 by Police Protests have spread far beyond minnesota all across the country clashes are taking place across american streets that id. Like to. Thank you. I i minnesotas Governor Tim Walz 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 minneapolis 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 starts thank you the 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 now. 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 floyd and the protests that erupted in its aftermath it into a long pattern of 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 south side of many outlets after protesters took to the streets to demand justice for george floyd 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 non racist you have to be anti racist 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 23. 00 concerns of the Africanamerican Community 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 hey everyones wining and dining and this is happening 5060 miles away so you cant ignore that now. You cant ignore that. And yet its important i do want to get to the red carpet da when u. S. Media finally got around to covering the protests that were trade simply violent crowds clashing with the police showing the protesters to be more less violent hoodlums a handful of protesters handful of criminals and thugs who 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 heard 200 arrests 144 of vehicle fires that these are statistics local place are 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 African American is it perhaps that u. S. President donald trump is why do you use being a racist those protests back in 2015 in baltimore did not fit the liberal narrative that iraq 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 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 the killing of an innocent man it seems that powerful forces are not afraid to push their own political agenda it was martin party in new york earlier on saturday a former new orleans mayor blamed for the actors for the riots while appearing on c. N. N. We need to understand and we need to know because what they suggested i saw all because of a report we did our state of black america report with the russians did. If youre late in social media. Donald trump took to twitter to comment on those accusations saying that the quote Fake News Media were up to their old tricks again we spoke to george sandwell a from the London Global Policy Institute and andre vitek a philosopher and analyst both believe it was inevitable that russia would be made a scapegoat. Well it was entirely to be expected i was wondering how long it would take for the Mainstream Media to find a russian angle the people who are presenting this whole russia is to blame that event mean they still havent got oh but 2016 is still a replay of the same. Trump russia collusion story for which theres been no evidence whatsoever in and on the country all the evidence is pointed against it traditionally when there are these riots Public Opinion swing still wards the law and order candid it and therefore there is a fear among the c. N. N. And m s n b c called dissenting that this will wreak down to the political advantage of donald trump and i think there is an attempt to through all of this to suggest no no no i mean this isnt violence thats being perpetrated on the streets by black life map or by anti thought no no no this is this is about all about russia and we know who russia is really supporting donald trump so therefore its russia who jane and donald trump together want to blame for the violence not black lives matter and keep hope precisely for this season or you have still you cannot trust any more of most of the mass Media Channels in the United States you get better coverage from all for an open slick are dealing with other sort of for example of both what is happening really in the United States and both injustice the minority of the African American the hispanic or even asian but my thought of this article facing in the United States is so c. N. N. Is a symbol for many people fall for you know began as a liberal news. It is a symbol actually of great emotion and mainstream of. All station d television station in the United States and just a recap of whats going on right now multiple cities in different u. S. States are seeing violent protests over the death of george floyd in police custody
