E. A. s leash designated the agency to enforce any federal crime committed as a result of protests over the death the mr floyd on a nationwide basis for a period of 14 days. These moves along with the rampant Police Brutality and provocative action that we witnessed since these protests started clearly show that the powers that be your shake in their wing tips which means my friends it is a good time to start watching the whole. You want to go on a cd you streets you want to. Listen to what she says see rises you always stay ill see a little slice of grace suggests least systemic deception is to late show which. Some real. Welcome everybody to watch in the dark side of the world winter and i mean. Lets start by going out to minneapolis minnesota and freelance journalist ashley banks whos been covering the mint Memorial Service for george floyd welcome ashley can you tell us a little bit about the memorial. So im here at North Central university where the memorial for george floyd took place earlier today the Memorial Service was not open to the public and the access was extremely limited for the press at least a 1000 people from the public were in attendance and they stood outside of barricades right behind me and were able to listen and on reverend al sharpton deliberately eulogy i want to read you a quote from him he stated we will keep going until we change the full system of justice and civil rights leader he also deliver eulogies during the funerals for Michael Brown and eric garner eric garner somebody who died in a similar fashion to george full weight and that al sharpton basically said enough is enough we need to stop jumping from funeral to a funeral of africanamericans who have died at the hands of Police Officers now eric garners mother kevin hart a looter chris and master p. Were also and attendance at todays Memorial Service now masterpiece spoke to the media and he discussed his experiences with the Police Brutality he also. Those spoke out against the Media Coverage he was saying that some members of the media are showing the wrong parts now meesha weve seen plenty of video of the looting and fires weve seen that stuff on a loop and thats a p. He says this is the wrong message and said the media should be showing the positive sides of this Global Movement now after George Floyds family al sharpton and been jamin crump the lead attorney for the family left the university a peaceful protest in a way took center stage as people shouted george boys name and they called on i can ability and demanded that these officers not just be charges they have been but be convicted and sentenced i mean. Were going to see you been on the ground in minneapolis for quite some time what is your experience attending these protests and speaking with the protestors there. Thats right carol i have been here for almost a week now and ive spoken to quite a few protesters quite a few locals and from day one the people of minneapolis they wanted to see these 4 officers charged and now that theyve been charged they want to see convictions all the protests ive attended of course theyve been peaceful even the ones that have taken place after curfew the crowds are always diverse and theres a real sense of community here i interviewed quite a few people who said they were willing to risk their lives and the name of justice i remember attending one of the protests there was that as a 4th precinct and the National Guard showed up in the Law Enforcement was there but basically these people were they were peaceful and they were simulating is exactly what george boyd went through when he was dying at the hands of officer derrick show bed but the National Guard didnt move in because these people were peacefully protesting what they were saying to me the protesters theyre like if they move in we dont care we are here in the name of justice and then we lose our lives so yet. I also want to talk to that. The fact that people are still upset tyrrell people are still upset in the city over Tamara Clarke their upset over philander steel these are 2 africanamericans that died at the hands of Police Officers in minneapolis and st paul and these officers were not charged or convicted or sentence for their deaths and so this is a big deal for people this is george floyd its and it is not just one incident its not isolated this has been happening for years and they want to see justice the attorney general has asked the public to be patient during this time he said that its going to be really hard and challenging when it comes to convicting all 4 officers i was told by protesters they were tyrrell if these officers are not convicted and sentence then its going to be a really bad day for the people here in minneapolis back to you tara. Great coverage thank you so much ashley for being there on the ground with us thank you. Youre welcome. And now to discuss the push to militarize the response to the murder of george floyd in the black lives matter protests as well as the move to allow the d. A. To spy on protesters a senior fellow at the center for International Policy at the u. S. Marine corps veteran of the 2nd iraq war matthew old thank you so much for coming on out there. Thank you for having me on matthew was a military veteran of the 2nd iraq war which after the initial invasion was really a war of military occupation and policing what makes President Trumps push for a militarized response to these protests so dangerous for the american people. Well you know. The answer that question is how quickly things can escalate. Particularly as you have a number of what overseas well call sext you know sectarian groups we have those here in the u. S. And youve seen in a number of cities these self described patriots these militias that are coming out to support the police. We in thats what theyre where the danger to me really lies in how quickly this could escalate where these patriots or someone you know maybe from you know there are there are groups on the left that want to see violence you know how quickly the 2 mixing together escalates things and then it gets out of hand and anyone who was in iraq saw this very. Sincerely and very clearly how the violence quickly took off violence that hadnt existed among again what we would call sex against among these sectarian groups balancer hadnt existed prior to our invasion but when you have a catalyst when you have innovation and when we then have an organization like the u. S. Military so that comes in in plays favorites picks winners and losers so were going to pick this year over the sunni in iraq if you have that in the United States which is what you do because you know nobody with it with a honest face kids you know or on his voice can see that these peachtree are groups are not aligned with the police you know so thats where for me its really dangerous how quickly it can escalate how things can get out of control and on the other side of it how many people there are in this country that want to see things get out of control for whatever reason and then you know if the top it all off where you have men not just like donald trump but say attorney general bill barr who doesnt represent the right wing if theyre seeing this now its his chance to establish. Long want did desires to control things or to put people back in their place and yeah we are very much on a knife said here i. Dont want to be hyperbolic but i do knowing what ive seen overseas. You know how quickly things can escalate yeah were on a knifes edge and i am hurrican to agree with you matthew on the elements of escalation that were currently facing and its actually a good tie in to this next question in a controversial New York Times opinion piece in us the nerd tom cotton writes one thing above all else will restore order to our streets and overwhelming show of force to disperse detain and ultimately deter low breakers the insurrection act authorizes the president to employ the military or any other means in case of the insurrection or into the law matthew why do you believe so many of our politicians like cotton and President Trump are so quick to jump on a military solution for this the mystic issue. Its power i knew tom cotton in afghanistan actually and then in 20092010 him and i did the rounds on me in the war we were on larry king together you know fox except. When he ran for office he was suddenly a different person i mean he had conservative views he had. You know he thought a military solution in afghanistan was possible things i disagree with but he wasnt this. You know the this. You know im struggling to find the right words for how much of a cretin he has become you know in a sense where he reaches for just like donald trump the lowest common denominator where he reaches for the easiest pieces where he recognizes that if i can do only good violin need 37 percent of the American Public to support me thats the 37 percent im going to play to and so thats what cut tom cotton like many people in congress on the right and the left i mean you can criticize certainly the democrats right now were not doing anything. I mean in n. C. Palosi makes a speech holding a bible then she makes his big theatrical show where she sits down to read the bible shes a speaker of the house she can do a lot more than read the bible you know the same thing to look at the incidents in the york its all under democratic administrations bill de blasio defending the police there you know thats because these politicians regardless of which party they are are concerned about holding on to power or building more power and so i think you see that reason right and left thats why i think the notion that somehow things are going to change by just basically reforms or people signing petitions or by voting except is really a folly because you know it is his you know insurrection act is you know something that people are discussing quite a bit now because President Trump wants to use that to send the army in and i suggest people go back and see even go to Wikipedia Page and look that up and see how often the u. S. Military was used to control the population which he could get threatening the established power you know it was used quite a bit against the Labor Movement in the early 20th century and then it was used you know in and a couple cases actually was used against established a power by Dwight Eisenhower and john f. Kennedy to help desegregate schools but the other times its always been used as a way to tamp down any threat on established power and so i really urge people to recognize that you know this is nothing new and these protests are nothing new and the threat of military force against them is nothing new and the reality is is that we need to change you know its cliche but we need to change the whole system i couldnt agree with you more about that i think thats where really starts on the grass with a lot of people are missing when theyre kind of seeing the protests right now if they dont understand that its the entire system its not just taken down a few statues in the south matthew thank you so much for coming on. Illuminating our audience through these issues always a pleasure sir. Thanks guys. Already but you know as we go to the break remember you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t. V.

On larry king question by listening learning you know ive always said i never learned anything when i was talking its important to listen a. Question more. The United States has long been viewed as the Human Rights Police of other nations all other nations not only calling out Human Rights Violations abroad but staging or working behind the scenes to overthrow regimes for their abuses but those living in glass houses probably shouldnt throw stones at the recent murders of black people like Brianna Taylor a moderate and george floyd by Police Officers an armed vigilante justice speaking civilians rightfully sparked outrage instead of leaning in for understanding or looking at the policies that have nurtured the environment for racism and White Supremacy to grope President Trump demanded lethal force against protesters when the looting starts the shooting starts famous words from trump but for blacks like my grandmother who lived through the Civil Rights Movement these words were new or original bull connor popularized them when thinking dogs and water hoses on protesters speaking to him jim crow they were also used by miami police chief Walter Headley in 1067 as he advocated for radical racialized Police Policy targeting young black and brown people segregationist George Wallace also used the phrase during his 1968 president ial campaign from flavor e and reconstruction to the formation of the k. K. K. And jim crow to present day horrors of Police Brutality and systemic racism blacks have endured Human Rights Violations for well over 400 years call for justice and into Racial Discrimination just keep getting louder the United Nations is being called on now to step in where our government seems to continually fail here tell us more is next to freeman from the black alliance for peace welcome that the. Thank you for having me. The history of Human Rights Violations in america is that the un has several bodies that have been designed to protect human rights of african and black people because of the genocidal conditions facing our communities why do you think republican and democratic administrations havent really utilized. All. Of the so usually one they dont they do utilize maybe not these particular bodies but the you to plus the the United Nations to advance its imperialist aims against the countries with the client with the im sorry that claims that other countries are violating the human rights of their citizens and to justify their ability to go in and intervene in these countries but this country is founded on Human Rights Violations that continue ever to persist ever since and slaven of Indigenous People are very sorry about that. Indigenous people and also to save and of African People on and so the the the the perpetrators of these violations are the agents that are here to uphold of the order of White Supremacy and capitalism in this country and so they cant go to those bodies because it would mean. Having to address the fundamental aspects of this country the foundations of power and privilege on the on the previous segment we had a gentleman talking about power and why some of the power being the motivating force behind some of these things which i agree however we have to look at what the nature of the fundamental nature of that power we have to identify it and oppose it and those those just White Supremacy in capitalism and patriarchy and these are the foundations of this country the democrats and the republicans are basically 2 birds with 2 wings on the same bird that just carry out the main maintenance of this country the american exceptionalism and the facade of whats country stands for but only in different ways but one seems to be more like the iron fist in the gulf of. Mexico i want to ask you to c m m m s n b c fox over and over again all they talk about is the Police Policies that need to be changed to see equity in things about marriage or. Is there really is Police Perform at this point truly a lost cause i mean is there anything that we can change without just you know ripping out the entire system of policing in this country and starting fresh. No theres not but i think some of the what should be informed the policies because youre also seeing things like defund the police and things like that to sound very radical a lot of people are saying they even have it on fox news which makes 2 issue really have us pause what really should inform the demand. So we have which also means the campaigns that we can take up our is that the radical tradition of the people most impact within the black radical tradition we had like that the panthers and the you know in the ram and used Union Movement they had campaigns calling for Community Control over the police which means the communities that are being curtailed and occupied by these Occupation Forces get the have the democratic right the human right the selfdetermination to decide to hire fire determine the priorities the duties of these these forces are determine the consequences if they they do something wrong the repercussions of something wrong these are things that we can actually call for and when in fact the better than the history of the black Panther Party in california they put it on the ballot and that of having all officials who invariably fail us and we vote for them we can vote for bell and then just who says and referendums although they will of course pass those things with us because its the more power shifting type of demands that we can actually find for and in fact just in Nations Working Group of people of african descent experts of people of african descent came on a Fact Finding Mission to the United States to look at the u. S. The human rights situation of people of african descent here and upon seeing a whole host of the normal violations the characteristic violations we talked about what among the recommendations was Community Control over the police and so these are things which actually answers the previous question that they really they wont you know abide by these things without a struggle but we can if we want if we actually align ourselves with the International Solidarity and movement and take our things up to the higher bodies like United Nations and some redress not that they will automatically jump in there but with pressure from below. Oh and in the mass pressure and general solidarity you can actually force the power play at him in ways that will well see some change and i believe that will happen. Next after years upon years of promises made him promise is broken in a naturally weary black population in america how do you think the you win can work to establish trust in the system and dismantle decades of oppression and Human Rights Violations. So i dont think its more us using the u. N. To do it that we do it then that they are really made me a mechanism that we can take our grievances to and also our our. You know our situations to our circumstances to internationalize this trouble to put pressure on International Pressure on the on the bodies on the powers that be those things have can work i mean of that directly why the almost attacked malcolm x. And and dr king because of their their ability to into not just them but their movements and organizations they were to internationalize the struggle so for us weve got to have some more concrete demands more formidable demands that are not subject to cooptation like Community Control of the police the community can control in general of the community i mean the human right to health care right now were seeing just as many people i mean so many people are dying and particularly African People people of african descent from the covert 19 pandemic but theyve done a interesting job of focusing on a person who tragically died but who others are tragically dying regularly and then even when it has hands of the police it wont be this one person and there will be many more but they focus on one and have bring all the clergy in the in the blacksmiths Leadership Class in the fall in the celebrities to come in and make it a big show of passivism to quell what dr king called the the voice of the. And her right so the voice of they were on heard is what dr king called but they criminalize them and they these classes help them criminals but we have to come together and not criminalize anyone and have a woman up on the mans and make a united front of organizations that we most certainly do not always a pleasure having you on im educating our audience as you always do maam thank you so much as always sir thank you. All right everybody that is our show for you today remember in this world we are definitely not told we are love them enough so i tell you all i love you i am to roll them to nominee keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great night and stay safe. This spiral downward depending on who you believe in the media the civil unrest in america is the result of systematic racism this explains protest and writing but does it the commanding heights controlling the Financial System media and the Business World are loans to be made its the economy stupid for them to raise all these. You cant be both with the yeah you like. Well i think this Government Official the president the f. E. C. The system i said ive got to say im just a broken system that thats a sign for people like. Theres. Different people here for Different Reasons lost a job lost a home. Most people in philadelphia around the end ballot 2 paychecks away from homelessness. Reaction to President Trumps threat of deploying active duty troops to u. S. Cities well get that reaction from the former mayor of los angeles on this is. The politicking on larry king although hes quieter on the subject dow than days past President Trump has not backed down from his criticisms of the way mayors in some of the largest cities in this country have handled protests and rioting in the wake of George Floyds death and hes leaving open the possibility of sending u. S. Troops into some cities to quell the rioting weve seen the last few days well get reaction to that now from our good friend antonio the or go see the former mayor of los angeles lets start right there mayor what what was your reaction to his threat to call in the u. S. Troops. Unbelievable the language that he used ive never heard a president talk like that at least the president of United States of america and that some banana republic. Even his defense secretary. Tried to walk away from those comments and indicated that they werent considering putting troops in our cities against our people who were constitutional right to protest. And i thought as i said it was unbelievable it was it was actually quite scary. What i mean to make of the reaction weve had in america protests riots all of them it doesnt seem to calm down. Well it doesnt seem to calm down and i think when yesterday
