The manner of death or did it take you to take you to minneapolis to hear what those demonstrators are demanding tonight all right its time to boost your news i. Q. Less than 24 hours after protesters were met with tear gas outside of the white house today they are back on the streets of washington d. C. The growing crowd of demonstrators as demanding changes to the way blacks and other minorities are being treated in this country and just a little while ago the curfew went into effect for protesters here in d. C. Sending them all home that argues for an fronsac has been covering those protests all week and tonight protesters organized a vigil for george floyd. You know we are just about 2 blocks north from the white house here and k. And 16 that you could see behind me there. There are thousands of protesters from all walks of life you have black lives matter you have white people brown people you know all of them in the name of peaceful protesting now moments ago the video to show you it was a silent vigil that they actually held here in the middle of the street where everyone that you see behind me actually took a knee for 8 minutes for george floyd in representation to the number of minutes that the officer had his knee on his neck take a look here. Now as of monday the protests were a little bit different going into tuesday because you had quote trumps photo op at St Johns Church immediately following those protests yesterday where tear gas was actually used in it was ordered by attorney general bill barr in order to Disperse Protesters so donald trump could make his way to St Johns Church now you do have trump going on record and calling governors week saying that they need to get a better stance when it comes to these protests and he even threatened yesterday before going to john St Johns Church that he would use the military if people didnt get their acts together take a listen here i am your president to have law and order and an ally of all Peaceful Protesters but in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional and arkans violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tea for and others. I mean again were just 2 blocks north from the white house but you can see here protesters are going west on k. Street but then theyre also heading towards the white house as well and were talking about thousands and its one of these things where youre at the white house and then you turn and you look down this street down 16th and you see the amount of people that are coming out here its just astonishing everyone out here saying that they want to keep these protests people peaceful but however we are going to be minutes away from that curfew going into effect you also have tonight the d. C. Primaries happening where browser actually said that she would keep the city open until 8 as long as you are voting unless youre not and that means you have to be home at that 7 pm curfew the other thing that was actually different here today is after that photo op at St Johns Church you had a lot of religious leaders here actually holding Prayer Services and front of that church today kind of almost in a defensive tactic against donald trump taking a picture there in front of the church yesterday heres some of the priests and the rabbis and the moms that all came together all religious all religions alike saying prayers together going were going to be monitoring the situation again you can follow me on twitter at fair and balanced and also on instagram for my instagram lives and also on our dot com ella back to you cross that there are 2 separate autopsy reports conducted on george floyd have now been made public this cities around the u. S. Witness another night of protest set off by the death of this unarmed black man killed by Minneapolis Police officer now 2 autopsies say ford died by homicide however they differ as to how he died and one conducted by the Hennepin County medical examiner says floyd died of cardio pulmonary arrest while and independent pathologist Commission Family says that he died as a result of mechanical fixie a shit while they differ it remains clear that he would have died had the Police Officer not been pressing his knee over the back of his neck for close to 9 minutes. And right in the center where this tragic event happened is where we find ashley banks. I am here at the Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct what for many is a symbol of systemic racism one that disturbing video of the officer daring to show off the katyn verge surface many people became enraged and took to the streets and said thats a very precinct i believe trying to send a message to Law Enforcement that this was one death he will not get away with a lot of people are still angry about your marquardt theyre still angry about philander can still and as you can see here there are windows that are missing some windows are shattered the roof is caved in and the inside is completely destroyed last night i attended a peaceful demonstration at the memorial where 112. 00 and attendant i spoke to them about president Donald Trumps threat to send more military National Guardsmen and police to stop the protests if trump wants to bring the military we are going to bring our people and we are going to show that we are not scared of heavy machinery we look at our president s our leaders and. If youre threatening the peoples and your people your race everybodys looking at this is a black white thing. This is beyond your george fluid. This is an issue of. You know its just not right the way to kill. You know the other sit in the military and this is a peaceful this is very very peaceful you. Do is charge the police. Over the wound most people say all they want is for the remaining 3 officers involved in floyds death to be charged and for officer show binns 3rd degree charge to be moved to the 1st degree many others have stated similar and so dense demonstrators are expected to continue peacefully protesting throughout the week hoping that justice is served when family has announced that Memorial Services will be held at the. Thursday to remember his the life and legacy reporting in minneapolis im ashley banks. Right over to live footage just outside of the white house there looks like just before the St Johns Church that was devastated by a fire this week thousands of protesters there peacefully sitting out. Disobeying the 7 pm curfew set by marriage vows or as you can see there a sea of people it looks to be in the thousands. There shouting hands up dont shoot theres St Johns Church where president took the bible for a photo op. In every direction protesters all out front of the white house right now after the 7 oclock curfew here in washington d. C. The nations capital. In response to the massive protests across the country some lawmakers are proposing reforms in hopes of reducing the number of americans being killed by Police Officers and change the way Police Respond to protests are these racial blevins is joining us now live in studio with more on this subject so rachel what are lawmakers doing to try to make change at least in the way of Police Reform well at the heart of these nationwide protests there is a call for. Ability many advocates are saying that one of the 1st steps that can be taken is to end a decades old practice that has been allowed by the Supreme Court which essentially makes it so that Police Officers are not held liable for their actions so when response about independent congressman justin amash is set to introduce the qualified immunity act this week now he released a statement about that in which he said quote the brutal killing of george floyd is merely the latest in a long line of incidents of agree just Police Misconduct but pattern continues because police are legally politically and culturally insulated from consequences for violating the rights of the peace. Who they have sworn to serve now weve seen numerous multimillion dollar settlements after citizens were abused by police but in all of those cases it was the taxpayers in the city that were footing the bill so there is hope that maybe a Police Officer you know they will be financially liable for their actions that could make them think twice before resorting to violence i mean that makes a lot of sense but what about the fight to keep records of Police Misconduct whats the latest with that so in the case of george floyd we had 4 officers that were fired as a result of his death and only one of them has faced charges so far but there is no National Database here in the United States for Police Misconduct so those officers could just as easily go on to work for another department or they could even be rehired at the Current Department and we have seen that happen a number of times in fact if we take a look at some cases that were compiled by the freethought project we find that in arizona officer philip was fired and charged with murder in the shooting death of Daniel Shaver shown on video and 2016 he was then acquitted and rehired by the missive Police Department in 28. 00 scene then in tulsa oklahoma officer buddy shelby was charged with murder and the shooting death of terence crafter also shown on video in 2016 she was found not guilty and then hired as a sheriff and Rogers County and 2017 and in Salt Lake City utah Detective Jeff Payne was fired in 2017 after a viral video showed him violently arresting alex wobbles for doing her job he faced no charges and was then hired by the weber county jail in 2019 now to respond to this concern democratic senator cory booker has promised to introduce legislation which could lead to a National Database for Police Misconduct in hopes that it would bring about some accountability and transparency and now theres also been a lot of concern about the use of military looking for Tactical Gear by local Police Departments when they respond specially when they respond to protests. Is there a move to change that there is so back when president obama was in office there was a lot of criticism over his use of the 1033 program which essentially a lot of local Police Agencies to be able to obtain military grade equipment from federal agencies now if we look back in 2015 obama issued restrictions cutting back on that program after widespread criticism over the fact that police were using military equipment to respond to peaceful protests in ferguson missouri but then president came along and he issued an executive order reversing those restrictions and 2017 now we are once again seeing police in riot gear using Armored Vehicles and deploying tear gas on protesters in the u. S. So democratic senator brian schott said he plans to introduce an amendment to the National Defense authorization act that would discontinue that 1033. 00 program so there is hope that we could be seeing some legislation in a number of areas to help aim with Police Reform moving forward certainly a lot of work to be done there rachel levin thank you for filing that report thank you. And over now to paris where riot police fired tear gas at protesters who have been throwing projectiles and setting things on fire in the city this follows thousands of people rallying peacefully around paris and around the courthouse rather in homage to. French black man who died in Police Custody the demonstration turned into a rally in support of black lives matter. And in st Louis Missouri 4 Police Officers were hit by gunfire after a peaceful protest quickly became violent monday the Police Department says the officers were taken to a nearby hospital with injuries and are expected to recover its still unclear who fired those shots. And rick sanchez joins us to discuss how officers went from being a friendly part of the community morphing into militarized police that you see today and then later at the sports h. Q. Regina hamm takes us to australia for a bizarre event and all the. Camels and our race track and remember to keep up with all the latest news and anything you might have missed make sure you download our brand new free app called portable t. V. You can watch there 247 will be back and just to. Name them. How to read out really turn on the t. V. On the about the world and whats happened in the around me i see shows on the screens but in last every day because the fake news narratives that they say is the way to maybe cool even small a little bit enough publicity is good farm f. The bar brick by brick a good list of make it on how to play the off this in the store but i found a network that will question the science great crews out in space civil strife Climate Change sample would be cool to simplify lists all that mainstream wants to do was keep us cool like you watch the right you cant keep a silence critical point says cold perspective question inside directly if we dont take sides weve walked the dark arts to be a miracle of me is real talk. You cannot be both with me yeah you are. Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me bowl of the stream. And from that higher fit to glimpse the big picture question more. Today Police Officers are looking more and more like military special operators thanks to president bill clintons 997. 00 n. D. A. Which requires the d. O. D. To make various preowned equipment available to local Police Departments so since then there have been over 5000000000 dollars worth of military equipment transferred to your local Police Departments so here to walk us through how this all happened the host of news with rick sanchez our friend rick sanchez who has had a long history of covering this beat as a field reporter rick what do you got to tell us. Yeah i cut my teeth as a cop beat reporter and its interesting how we got here we got here because weve allowed ourselves as a country to become a police state and in the process weve over militarized ourselves and this is not something we can put on the back of donald trump obviously hes trying to own this thing right now im glad you mentioned bill clinton but you might as well mention almost every elected official in the United States of america there was a time if you were growing up in america and you were a kid you probably had a mentor may have been a teacher may have been someone to your local park you would go to the park and a mr andrews or mrs harris is somebody you would get to know and they would teach you how to play basketball or how to play football and maybe theyd have neighborhood teams that played against other teams thats gone doesnt exist in america anymore the reason that doesnt exist in america anymore is because american politicians whether theyre mayors or councilmen or senators or local officials or state officials or federal officials cannot get elected unless they say in their stump speech i will give you 10 more Police Officers for your city the next one i will give you 15 more Police Officers for your city the next one i will give you 20 more Police Officers and im going to give them bigger guns and im going to give them more cars and after a while the budgets the municipal budgets in america that we used to have for creating those programs for kids the mentors go to the park anybody whos listening right now to the sound of my voice go to a park anywhere in america right now you know were going to find you to find sprinklers some guy doing maintenance moe in the lawn and theyll tell you to get off the park even if you go there to play catch with your kid because instead they rent them out to outside organizations to come in and play soccer and stuff the days of when Young Children in america had people who help them not big. Come criminals have given way to a society where we almost encourage them to become criminals so then we can arrest them because after we arrest them we create another job not only do we have now more cops but now we can hire Correctional Officers the number of Correctional Officers the number of cops in america continues to go up and you know whats interesting you almost cant even put this on cops i know its an easy week to feel horrible about Police Officers and be very critical of them but weve put those people in that situation right weve weve told them all we want you to do is go out there and arrest people look my brother is a cop and hes a good guy i guarantee you if you took my brother chalk and most Police Officers out there and say you know what 2 days a week were going to take away your badge and your gun and were going to give you a whistle with a coaches have and were going to put you in a park somewhere in the inner city so you get along with these kids teach them how to play football teach them about life dammit we dont do that anymore america has turned into a militarization zone a police state and weve done it with each politician who we voted for who decided to take them into School Budgets all over the world all over our country and shrink them down to almost nothing so they can create more space for more guns and more cops and more cop cars and now you have Police Officers as you mentioned in the lead who arent only Police Officers they dress and act like soldiers why in the hell in the United States of america are our Police Officers wearing camouflage around us and an Army Uniforms as if we were the enemy and thats a big part of the problem this were the enemy and theyre the authority thats how we got where we are and its been a slow and arduous process ive seen it in my lifetime from being a recreation leader and a cop beat reporter and im saddened by it. Yeah i mean growing up in the eightys the cops you know really did walk by my neighborhood on foot hence the name flatfoot right. Do you remember officer friendly every school had an officer would come by and we became talk to us and we got to know them and they want to be yeah but then we started taking them away from walking the beat and we started getting them cars and then we got a mess of these and then yes we got them you know tractors and before you know what they had cars that look like military vehicles and now their windows are closed but i am in the only time that right yes and every conversation is a confrontation rather than a great conversation that is probably what i dont even do i mean. We know this you know this most americans know this and nobodys talking about this and this is what we need to get back to this is how we can restore a sense of decency in america a sense of belonging for all of us and a sense where its not them and us now but rather all of us together all right our friend rick sanchez im going to leave that as the last word thank you so much. And as america continues to remain in chaos for more than a week after the death of george floyd here now are some of the most powerful moments weve witnessed in just the last few days. You. Know you cant walk in fear because if you want to fear youre not going to be here. Longer so. Its like we cant talk we cant breathe we cant walk cant see we cant sleep we cant do anything cant drive without being here we cant even call the cops or see keep. My eyes. Ok got a great.
