Good afternoon it is a pleasure as always to have your company here. Now 1st this hour a large anti racism demonstration has been held in paris almost 3000. 00 people gathered there in the french capital to pay their tribute to george floyd the 8 minutes and 46 seconds the Central Square in the city remained silent the time during which an american policeman held his knee on floyds neck. Was at the protests force. And almost to georgia for paris across france other rallies are also being held now the pressure from demonstrations like this over the last week forced the french government to take action the countrys interior minister 0 tolerance. When you wear the uniform the blue uniform of the law you would never above it on the contrary we are which was more than others to be exemplary so i want 0 tolerance for racism in Law Enforcement that statements came in the wake of. A new racism scandal a Facebook Group used by Police Members was outed for repeatedly using racist and sexist terms was also mocking victims of Police Brutality in another closed group on whatsapp the police are accused of insulting a fellow officer who is black with racist around which christophe kassin is seize the moment calling for an inquiry he also in the end of the controversial choke hold technique used to detain suspects but is it enough or much higher i think those people should be fired we need to identify those behind those racist messages and fire them i think it is unacceptable that the police should be protecting us dont follow the laws themselves they should face the consequences that i have witnessed Police Brutality for my son was coming but nothing is an explicit was coming from abroad he was. He was you know about richard because he. Is server black. Who dont necessarily have confidence in the government because this problem has been around for years we get the feeling that castners actions are a bit opportunistic because it is only what happened in the us that finally made them do something to increase their credibility but we dont know if in the end things will change that the policeman will be better trained or of the situation with discrimination and racism will finally be taken seriously but im not so tin that something will change i think that the measures taken by the government a more aimed at calming down the people than by the solving the problem of racism and put real publicists in place and Police Unions have criticised the changes there are political announcements and then there is the reality on the ground the impression given is that everyone is nice except the police who are mean. We used the stranglehold when were faced with an individual whos resisting arrest so what will wouldnt stir while the tribute here is to george floyd france is also remembering its own who died 2 more families claim a questionable circumstances and there is anger though the accusations of Police Brutality figures just released by Frances Police watchdog show almost 1500. 00 complaints were made in 2019 against officers an increase of almost 25 percent more than half of those complaints were for alleged violence up by 41 percent compared to 2018 been teary ministers says 30 judicial investigations have been launched of those 22 were brought to justice the fight against racism in issues over Police Brutality is not new we must call ran his president ial campaign in 2017 he promised to be uncompromising i want to change the culture the management and the recruitment of French Police when there is manifestly a problem the Police Hierarchy must be challenged but 3 years on the same questions are still being asked afresh promises are still being made people hear this and other protest want is action and not all words show it even ski r. T. Paris a former Police Commissioner mari simulate told us that the problem of racism goes far beyond just Police Brutality. Todays Police Officers face a great challenge they have to assert their authority and the need to demonstrate is no longer enough so all of this violence that we can condemn is a consequence of social badens not Police Violence i think thats where we are wrong the Police System in america has nothing to do with the National Police which depends on the state the police in the United States is a myriad of Different Police structures mostly municipal they have different recruitment standards Different Levels of trading everything and you can compare france and the United States year after all the purpose for france is not to live in unity but to find a common destiny. In the United Kingdom protesters there of going to war with statues of slave traders and of those they believe were racists in response the mayor of london has now ordered a review of all statues and their links to slavery even the world famous tate gallery is now in the spotlight because its named after a sugar merchant at the edwards desh he explains. The backlog protests have erupted worldwide in the United Kingdom is no difference particularly now what were seeing is activists and protesters are somewhat targeting other things other symbols of racism here in the United Kingdom so im now stood next to the Winston Churchill statue for many protesters a symbol of colonize ation and a symbol of racism of course over the weekend this statue this very structure of Winston Churchill was somewhat to face with the words churchill was a racist written all over it of course right now theres quite a launch Police Presence trying to protect this very start you from the protesters of course the black marxist protesters have reinvigorated campaigns across the United Kingdom trying to rid britain of statues that represent the legacies of colonize ation oppression and racism starting in bristol then over the weekend we saw absolutely iconic scenes where by protest a tough pull down a statue a 17th century slave trade down to the name Edward Colson was pulled down to the ground and toppled into a nearby river london though in this very square that im stood in also has various controversial statues many of which protesters want to see which has prompted the london mess to announce that he wants a review of london statues in an effort to make public spaces more diversity friendly however it is said that this review could include places like the take Gallery Found has links to slavery it is an uncomfortable truth city owes a large part of its wealth to its role in the slave trade and while this is reflected in our public room the contribution of many of our communities to life in our capital has been willfully ignored this cannot continue but in general the statues defacing were indeed destruction has completely split opinion across the. United kingdom many of which agree for the removal but not necessarily the tactic we shouldnt destroy the statues i guess we should probably feature like museums where we can appreciate it. If the person has. Disgracefully to parts of the society why do we need to start your description of it is our history. I find its a very Dangerous Things to start its a bit like a challenge terry and richie wanting to you know but i dont need you for trying to clear your past and pretend that we are different change society i think that this election for black people and for other people in this country to build it problem is. Tiny attention then to oxford where protesters seem to be some more inspired by the recent events in bristol have gathered outside and next to the statute rose was a 19th century imperialist in south africa he laid the foundations of the exploited labor system and he indeed laid the nor of the seizure of lands across the south african region now campaigners want the removal of that statue saying that it represents subjugation but putting this all into wider context weve seen these protesters taking a knee at the Nelson Mandela statue campaigning in protesting by the words of churchill statue and also taking their protest to downing street where they had messages for the Prime Minister saying that the u. K. Is no innocent in this fight against racism. The b. B. C. Should be stripped of its funding according to the demand of a new Online Campaign against the British State funded broadcaster corporations being accused of failing to be impartial almost 60000 people have joined the campaign on twitter. Defunding the b. B. C. Is a vital step in restoring the Peoples Trust in our media and it is one that we must Work Together to achieve ultimately the b. B. C. Is not impartial it refuses to tell its audience the political background of its guests allowing many labor activists to present themselves as a balanced view despite holding a deep seated hatred for the Government People have taken to social media to slam the b. B. C. s coverage of the black lives matter of protest in the u. K. Coming in for particular criticism was its report that the demonstrations were quote largely peaceful despite 27. 00 police being injured its not the 1st time the broadcasters faced large scale claims of bias its coverage of the briggss referendum sparking much complaint. Now according to a poll carried out in december 64 percent of those questioned in the u. K. Say the b. B. C. Is biased to some degree leave voters tend to assess the amount of bias as great less than a quarter believe in the broadcast as impartiality but its also disagree whether they should completely trust the information that comes out of the corporation the country is divided on this around 5050 with the percentage also declining among leavers and rising among remainders we discussed the prospects of the state funded broadcaster with radio host and b. B. C. Contributor john gaunt and also journalist neil clark. I think the problem with the di from the b. B. C. Campaign is its too broad brush there are issues with parts of the b. B. C. Programming of particular the news and Current Affairs but i think what will limit that campaign is the fact that people go to the b. B. C. Not just for using try to 1st they go there for sport they watch football they watch weather reports and people are saying look if we dont have the b. B. C. Where are we going to go for this stuff what i want to seize the b. B. C. To change i think we need change in the b. B. C. People accuse the b. B. C. Of political bias i think the bias is basically what one could call the dominant orthodoxy is extreme sectors of the left accuse it of being right wing of the right accuse it being left but in fact its its kind of Blairite Blairite camera night kind of politics seems to dominate the b. B. C. Many people myself included on the bracks it so i do believe that the b. B. C. Was very biased in its coverage this is now playing out in the black lives matter a protest as well i think clearly theres a problem with the b. B. C. And the reason why theres a problem is that the b. B. C. Uniquely is funded through a t. V. License fee as statutary fee if you dont pay that fee in the end you could get sent to prison in the last year also in Something Like 800000 people have said they no longer want to pay the license really because theyre no longer watching live t. V. With netflix now its a prime if you want and time and you know you can get it there by what you want likewise with news people are really now tune into the 10 oclock or 9 oclock just to see whats happening in the world and all the loads about it on their mobile phones are social media platforms or other channels that are enough to pay for yes i think the time has come to defund the b. B. C. And the bias is much too great theyve had a good run of it now it needs to be cut down. Ok if until more news stories coming your way including. Everybodys trying to shame us. It being a barrister about our profession as calls to defund the police intensify across america Law Enforcement unions blame politicians in the press or shaving them well hear from a former Police Officer and a former minnesota governor. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with. No dares thinks. We dare to ask. One else chose seemed wrong all along just dont call. Me. Yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in games from an equal betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart when shes to look for common ground. Welcome back the threat of defunding is looming over Certain Police forces in the us following violent protests triggered by George Floyds death in minneapolis several attorney generals have pushed back against the move stating without police there is no guarantee of security stance fully backed by President TrumpPolice Unions meanwhile are calling on the public not to hate all offices for the crimes of one policeman. I am not derek shipboard they are not here he killed someone we did. We all restrain. And you know what im saying theres all the cops here because you know what everybodys trying to shame us the legislators the press everybody is trying to shame us it being a barrister about our profession but you know what. This is it stage by somebody in minneapolis its still got to shine on it so that this so do there is. There are reports the white house promised to reveal its own Police Reform soon but for now some cities have already expressed their intent at cutting funding for their forces on a scale of more than explains how the enforcement has become something of a scapegoat for u. S. Society. Public attitudes toward policing in the United States are dramatically changing in light of protesters calling to disband the police the entire institution is being rethought and not just in the way that it relates to racism and brutality funding for Police Departments is being cut and redirected we will be moving funding from the n. Y. P. D. To use the mission tubes and social Services Plans are now in the works to disband entire departments in local areas we are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police department and when we are done were not simply going to glued back together we are going to dramatically rethink how we approach Public Safety in Emergency Response its really busty and i think this is a reaper a decade happened i think we all finally caught up to something which should have caught up to a bug long time ago i dont agree with dismantling the police because things will get out of control you need to police i mean you just got to weed out the bad ones so many times take action like a family trying to stand up for as you know no need for like black people but as i said if everybody is now why would they do it so i think they should have been started doing data for years americans have enjoyed watching reality t. V. Programs where camera crews follow officers around as they bust feet but not anymore a any has cancelled live p. D. And paramount has pulled the plug on season 33 of the once widely Popular Program cops businesses are now trying to protect their image voices or even blaming the police for global warming. Its impossible to disentangle the various threads of environmental racism and his ties with policing the history of redlining and policing for segregation has led to massive hotter neighborhoods and more people with Chronic Health problems tied to air pollution University Students are now demanding that their campus stop collaborating with local Law Enforcement we all screw detailed public statements on the chain of events decisions and command lines that led to the use of this facility by l. A. P. D. And its mobile processing units last evening we also asked for an immediate cessation of the use of this facility or any other u. C. L. A. Facility by l. A. P. D. And other Police Forces teachers are now questioning the role of police in schools take money out of the school bullies department and put it directly into Mental Health support counselors academic counselors in light of the stereotype about cops eating donuts one pastry shop has taken a stand as well we are fed up until local Police Takes Action to solve problems with racism and injustice and is the onus will chase to stand with the people of our great state we will no longer offer a military or police askance thank you for your service and shame on you for your silence the u. S. Government still has plenty of laws on the books and its going to need somebody to enforce them now a lot of big dramatic proposals are being put forward and a lot of loud words are being exchanged but how much will u. S. Society actually change we will just have to see it will mop and artsy new york. Retired seattle Police Officer steve pumpa told us living in a Society Without police sounds more like the type in meth. You know the Police Protect society and theyre supposed to be the 1st business of government is to protect society and if you have. No police and you take that money and put it into wherever it doesnt matter i dont see how reducing Community Services can improve the safety of any community if you want to believe in some sort of utopian myth where all of a sudden everybodys going to get along i mean i heard one of the solutions was to send Rapid Deployment social workers out i mean youre not going to send somebody like that out against violent criminals and i think people theyre just forgetting about it they have some sort of but versus reality they want it to be peaceful so much that they think they can will it into existence and there are some people that are just not going to cooperate you think about any town is any business going to stay in a town that doesnt have Police Protection can tell you throughout my career i was going to your businesses all the time who need Police Protection without the police they would be overrun with problems and then the other part would be just insurance you know what business once you get insurance what Insurance Companies are going to want to sponsor the business or insure the business if theres no Police Protection the same thing as if there was any Fire Protection they wouldnt do it if you dont have security you cant basically operate or function a society. Because rick sanchez also discussed the cole 3 d. Fun place with former minnesota governor jesse ventura. Got our. What do you make of the argument that maybe we need to start funding other things besides Police Officers that doesnt mean that all Police Officers are bad it just means that maybe we ought to mix it up a little bit more. Well it also means we need to start looking to the root of the problem and the root of the problem just isnt Police Brutality the root of the problem is economic brutality too in all of africa and when you talk about the funding you know id like to add to rick i was a governor or mayor also i was the mayor of Brooklyn Park minnesota the 6th largest city and when they talk about defunding the police id like to get this clear that doesnt mean theyre throwing the cops out and you wont have Police Protection anymore what they mean is by allocating and pushing funds i think that were scammed new jersey did it and they literally destroyed their whole police force rebuilt it up from the base up and today i heard some figures that crime are stone like 43 percent from what it used to be there and now youve got truly Community Policing though not i think another thing that needs to happen here cops need to live in the towns where they police. Could not agree more and its clear police in the u. S. Saw going through tough times and twitter is only adding to that troubles users have noticed an issue with the notes of support the austin Police Department has claimed its being receiving.
