Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240712

Peaceful protesters were basically amounted to a Trump Campaign photo op to the brutal uses of tear gas riot shields and rubber bullets on Peaceful Protesters and journalists in new york city and los angeles and almost every major u. S. City inbetween. There has also my friends been some bright shining moments of beauty and good amidst all of that i mean you could you could practically hear a sigh of relief echo across the country with news that iowa Congressional Republican and universally agreed upon terrible human being steve king lost his primary race on tuesday night. Good feeling to know one less racist in congress but these early winds of change my friends are not just blowing across the United States of america as n. P. R. Reports u. S. Protesters rallying against the killing of george floyd and kahless other black americans are being heard around the world as demonstrators launch their own protests in the countries in countries such as the United Kingdom germany canada iran and new zealand and many more but its not only showing support for the racially and financially oppressed underclass here in the United States that has brought many of these global activists to the streets its also the violence that Law Enforcement agencies have perpetrated in their own countries yahoo news reports that protesters are also calling for domestic chart changes in france there are demonstrations in response to the killing of black frenchmen adama tarrar in 2016 in an australia protesters are calling for the government to reexamine the treatment of aboriginal peoples. And this includes our neighbors to the north and canada where toronto is currently reeling from the death of 29 year old black woman regis core chimpsky pocket who mysteriously fell to her death from her 24th floor apartment balcony after police were called to her apartment so today my friends lets examine the black lives Matter Movement outside of us borders as we look at canadas reaction the Police Violence against minorities as we start watching all this. Whats going on in a city. You want to. See this as this joyce state says. Great city displays systemic deceptions leaks show which. Brings up the jail as. Well were going to watch of the tyro been thrown out of the city joining us now to discuss the latest on the mysterious death of 29 year old black woman regis christians keep her cat after trying to police were called to her home is our correspondent in toronto alex mahela bitch thank you for joining us alex. Thanks for having me so alex please explain to our viewers what we know so far about the bunch leading up to this womans death why were Police Called to her home and what were the and what are they saying took place the that led to her to her death her fall. Well what were still waiting to hear from the Toronto Police service and special Investigations Unit they usually look into cases like this where theres some discrepancy of what exactly went down but let me tell you something theres been a media leak from the toronto sun and this is basically the story that they are saying what theyre saying happened here so ms pac has had some mental issues in the past her mother called the police to come because of a domestic dispute when the Police Arrived what they did at that point is actually separate the mother and brother from this pack kept herself asked to go inside the bathroom couple Police Officers went inside the apartment with her was that somebody stayed outside with the mother and brother and then at one point she bolted for the balcony according to toronto sun reports she put some appliance to block that door of the balcony when the Police Officer saw that they basically ran to get to another apartment it looked like she was trying to get from one apartment balcony to another and before they could make it she fell to her death now from that account it looks like police were actually trying to help her. But the situation merits some some interest in it this is a situation where you have somebody with a history of Mental Health issues it does not look like its necessarily tied to racism per se that said we have had protests in the city because of the issues that were tied directly to george boyd and what has happened in the United States and when you take it to that level again when we talk about merit this is not without merit being that we do have our issues here in this country we do know that racism is systematic in canada our own premier here in Ontario Doug Ford has also said that loud after denying it in the beginning we do know we have an issue when you look at our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in blackface just a few years ago and of course we have them the media picked up on that we do know we have an issue. You went up former Opposition Leader Stockwell Day is just basically dismissing this in just the whole way the conservative element in this country is looking in to what has happened here in the past its like im saying systematic racism and were talking about anti black racism this is the issue of the day we know we have the same issues with aboriginal communities and other communities but lets talk about whats on the table here all you need to do is go to social media see my fellow canadians on there and you recognize you can recognize right from the 1st point that there is race of racism in this country as much as we hate to hear it. Alex theres a lot to unpack here to help us with the current status of the investigation into the Toronto Police actions on that day. So what the police are doing right now they were supposed to talk to the family of miss park at this week basically wrap all this up but with the toronto sun leak what police are saying is that they are pushing this further back and it looks like we will have some information by next week from the f. B. I. You itself as it stands and there seems to be some sort of you know there is looking at this report and theres something definitely there are people protesting were going to see where that goes i mean if this does turn into something other than what this story is saying well then you know its going to be just like in the states the people will have a reason to protest something thats it that does actually directly tie to racism but i sense as i said as it stands right now that seems to have nothing to do with racism and more to do with a Mental Health issue of an individual something that also Police Forces need to be very sensitive to and thats when theyre approaching people that have these type of problems in their life. Thank you very much alex for joining us today and giving us that breakdown on that case i think its definitely one the watch given the given as you said the nature of racism that we see in canada and around the globe. Spacing a lot of Different Police departments thank you so much sir. Thank you. America remains in chaos more than a week up to the death of george would protest from coast to coast and here in the Nations Capital hoping to put an end to Police Brutality and to push forward the black lives Matter Movement here now are some of the most powerful moments weve witnessed in the past few days and i will put a disclaimer on them they are wrong they are real and they are while im. Not i i you. Know you cant walk in here because if you want to fear youre not going to be here. Hot. Water so. Its like they cant talk we cant breathe we cant walk cant we cant sleep we cant do anything cant drive without being here we cant even call the cops for our safety to. My sadness. Great great. Great. Great great great great big. No. I think whats going on in philadelphia in that moment its going for the lot of them to come out good to get out not right. My. Greatest name. Comes from. God like you addressed. Me. But you just see if theres a. Situation that. Doesnt get help. Because. And thats again it is a federal. Law state law. To use interstate to sell a. Site for this if. I just hold you know this whole thing is that i said. That when i was filing that they dont stay silent you more and you know they said to speak about this. These things are important to you do you need to speak about this because they say we keep quiet. These are just going to stay the way they are. You know like. Joining us now also from trying to come out of the to bring us a deeper look into the case that we were discussing earlier with alex relevance and how it has affected the community and try to as well as the world as writer activists andre dont miss andre thank you so much for joining us i want to start and ask you what bothers you and others in toronto so deeply about the Police Action surrounding this park katz death and what questions desperately need to be need to be answered at this moment. Well unfortunately this is all too common we we had a gentleman by the name of andrew local who was experiencing a Mental Health episode and police were called to the building where he was a sewer he lived where you experience the episode shortly afterwards he was shot not very long ago to them but the name of the other 3 campbell wouldnt be a branch of the area which is just outside of toronto suburban area was also apparently experiencing a Mental Health of some sort of disturbance and when they the Police Showed up and he was shot to death and now we see it again where the circumstances behind behind the packet steps are still looked to be. Social Investigations Unit sit still and question right now the fact of the matter is police were called to the home of somebody who was experiencing mental hope it was so happens so. Its unfortunate that when people of the Family Member or friends or partners of some Years Experience and with the hope that with so it is going or going through them to have questions as to whether to even Call Emergency Services what can happen what could be the end result of that. And underrate we know here in america that americans have a very long sordid in pretty troubled history with u. S. Law enforcement not only poor people of color but also Indigenous Peoples and weve heard time and time again that there is such a push to have these people often go to a place like canada that seen as so much better in terms of its handling of race how prevalent is racism in canadas Law Enforcement community. I dont even really know what to tell you when people say things like oh you know its different to canada they dont have the same kind of racism that exists in the United States unfortunately it doesnt help when our elected officials of people like our premier doug ford of ontario which is the most a populous province in canada france where they go the other premier. Deny that stomach reaches them its even a thing that exists but we know what that is because this is just sick spirit out that were terrible it collecting data get it were awful like collecting statistics but what we do shows step there are disproportionate about the Police Violence that are used especially d on the on black people in the numbers of those people these arent conjectures these are plain facts weve had marches in canada not only for black wise but also foreigners in this lives we have have proof that there is a genocide thats been active Indigenous People in canada the young men especially from the genus communities do you think this report events of Police Violence so when people in the United States and elsewhere talk about racism being different in canada i have to ask what are you talking about. Thats a great question to ask you know i want to finish up weve got a little bit of minute left we seem incredible response across the globe to the black lives Matter Movement here in the u. S. In light of joy george lloyds death why do you think that countries like canada other countries around the world are so embrace in this movement were seeing protests all over the world right now. Will this is putting a spark to the black racism not only in the United States but literally around the world which you know even can you can find replicate so that sort of racism that is the United States you can find it you know it can be done you can find it in the mainland europe you can find in countries like south africa still its still a problem we like to believe that weve made strides of progress in that racism is the thing in the past and unfortunately if you have if you talk to people from black near news just about anywhere in the world they will tell you know like this didnt just go away because there were some social science made i think what youre seeing right now is the order to scold and the way to the idea that racism is a little longer a problem when you look at the fact that there are protests happening in every one of the 50 states and. People are coming up for a reason it is that that is so true i want to thank you very much for coming on and really highlighting this for us and hope to have you back on again soon thank you so much for all the good work that youre doing covering these issues as well right. I think youre going to increase your art as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the locks on the man through the brand new portable t. V. Up available on all platforms coming up the n. F. L. Is being accused of preposterously for their official stance on the protests taking rocking the United States taking place and then parties burn problems that brings us the latest on the fallout the president from stress of martial law stay tuned watch. Plane has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs the people who are chronic pain and believe that their prescription is working for them on the remedy be sent to the price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates the long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually the day of my because i want to. Know whats a clip of she told me yesterday. And the way its always at the k. It was a School Moment and the late. Not so much you know. Who feel like they can trust the good at the close up but. If they do get through to the. Sea they say yes. Yes. Its protests continue in the wake of the george boyd word weve seen Officers National guardsmen people of all races and backgrounds are joining in solidarity some are taking in meat others are marching alongside protestors and giving voice to the voiceless. But the solidarity doesnt stop there the race issues in america are also receiving support from professional sports coaches and players too Even International in v. A. Icon Michael Jordan known for his effort to get in action in social Justice Movements is taking a stand and an interesting show of protest support also came from n. F. L. Commissioner Roger Goodell the same goodell that made sure Colin Kaepernick would never play again after taking a knee just a few years ago here to tell us more is our team america sports producer regina him id like to bring good news monday i would just one day and were waiting for it were waiting for that day what were doing in the n. F. L. Is currently under fire for its response to the protests over the death of george floyd especially since it essentially blacklisted collin capper nick whos still is not able to be employed by the n. F. L. For taking me or that the National Anthem what are some of the comments teams have made and how is the leagues response being received overall oh the league oh the league you know youre playing devils advocate youre going to your at least you said Something Like if they hadnt said anything the i or they would have drawn would be immense but you know the n. F. L. Said theyre saddened by the tragic events across our country the protesters reactions reflect the pain anger and frustration that many of them feel many of them interesting considering theres only 4 non white coat head coaches in the league one nonwhite owner and 2 not my g. M. And then the broncos coach vick then gio he decided to chime in and got himself in some hot water he said that the n. F. L. Meritocracy i dont see racism in the n. F. L. At all i dont see discrimination in the n. F. L. At all and of course as you can imagine many of his fellow coaches and other players in league kind of when you need to check yourself if you think theres no races in the n. F. L. This is the same lee that blackballed calling cabinet as a as much as you said where are you saying this is a totally fair you know league that were going in order to do sort of were. It was all white white and one non white owner of the day our city isnt there yet no youre pretty much like a crumb in an oreo cookie theres a lot of frosting and one crow the broncos coach is trying to keep his job and you try to apologize he did he try to do that i realize what i said was wrong but didnt say he that the problem didnt exist so if the n. F. L. Is under hot water and your brees decided to add fuel to the flames saying that he doesnt agree with any way to disrespect the flag including. Somehow Aaron Rodgers aside in a cavern and so its been a weird stance in the n. F. L. And you see them kind of sticking their status quo nothings changed or if we switch over theres a theres another Major Sports League in the United States that actually has been making some pretty good strides in terms of what since all this is started the n. B. A. Has been praised about only supporting players who protest but also making strides towards legitimate changes within their league in terms of how they treat black athletes how does out of the compared to the n. F. L. With what their players and coaches are doing you see a lot more support from the top down in the n. B. A. You see adam silver the leagues commissioner talking about how you know they do require players to sanford and the but they push your players go out and talk on social issues go out be active in your community and thats the big difference is the fact they want their play speak out actually it steph curry was just out protesting in oakland with the protesters there so theyre encouraging their players they actually have a the National Basketball association established a committee on in Justice Reform with gold state or as head coach steve kerr and Gregg Popovich of san diego spurs both very outspoken on social media about this cause and getting out and let me share their players are vocal about it and that is what we need to see in our professionally you need to see more of coaches and players and League Officials be like talk about this please get involved cream a ball a job our good lord im so angry about this you can hear it in my voice and he even came out and spoke about it so you need to see the other league the n. The n. H. L. The m l b the n. F. L. Pushing their players that this is good to talk about this for the betterment of everybody absolutely and i think that in all of the leagues we need. Coaches like steve kerr ally popovich to have the entirety of their careers being race forward being the people who are just extremely understanding of whats going on this isnt new to them they have a chance at this more decade no they they stand by what they say they stick by their morals and so much for bringing us this news from the sporting world always a pleasure from. Ordering tear gas attacks on Peaceful Protesters in the Nations Capital backfired for us president. It looks like his last minute photo op in front of one of the Oldest Church is holding a bible wasnt the right move not only is trump facing criticism from the bishop of the local diocese of washington religious leaders throughout the country elected officials and concerned citizens troops top brass have spoken out to u. S. Military advisor James Miller Jr resigned from his post in a strongly worded letter directly calling out secretary of defense mark answered in the letter esper is accused of by leading his oath to defend the constitution through his support of troops use of the military on peacefully protesting civilians joining us to shed more light on this developing story is r t correspondent. Good to have you once more im so you were there moments before the now infamous picture was taken on monday and then the next day you were also there with protestors what was the energy like up in the protests you know its funny to me my photographer and i we were just minutes in front of where those canisters were fired so had we waited 5 more minutes we would have been in the thick of it all and the next day as you mentioned you know when i was with those protesters we also saw tons of religious leaders from all faiths coming out they were praying outside of St Johns Church where our live shot was set up denounce it were trying to even have catholic priests going to the protesters and sprinkling holy water on them now these were some of the photos that i happened to take while we were there but its mondays photo obviously thats the big issue that james miller has with defense secretary marc esper who actually published. His resignation in the Washington Post writing to asper president transactions monday night violated his oath to take care that the laws be faithfully executed you may not have been able to stop the president but you could have chosen to oppose it instead you visibly supported it you know its interesting because now you have a whole lot of backpedaling going on since this photo or at a bottle started it seems like james millers seeing what everyone else saw what is the trumpet ministration you know our other excuse and miss what about what leg are they leaning on today reisa tyrrell so when when you think about when you were a little kid right and you got in trouble whats the 1st thing that little kids say i didnt know was going to happen right thats exactly what mark esper is now saying in fact trump is actually mad that hes backpedaling now but as for says that he was told that he was going to be doing just 2 things the 1st was looking at the damage of St Johns Church from the night before because they got a spray painted it was part of the basement caught on fire and talking with the troops in Lafayette Park which is directly across the street from the white house he also did push back on the media though saying that what was reported was actually an accurate listen to this. National guard forces did not fire rubber bullets or tear gas into the crowd as reported 2nd guardsmen were instructed to wear helmets and personal protective equipment for their own protection not to serve as some form of intimidation. And we also have another person who was on that walk the nations highest ranking military officer echoing what asper just said and you also have attorney general bill barr hes coming out saying that it wasnt trump who ordered the gas canisters it was him trying to take all the blame off of trouble so again its rewriting history or is it protesters reporters getting the facts wrong whos to say. Thats a good question to ask very good question to ask fair and i got to say thank you so much and thank you for bringing that report to us live and thankfully you werent caught in the middle of a very dangerous photo op by our president thank you so much always a pleasure thanks. And we should just keep building and building doesnt and never seems to stop no no i do believe a word coming out of the white house when they talk about bill barr saying oh were just trying to like you know stretch out the block and i dont believe a word out of the white house in general and i definitely think that you know this story keeps on changing and more things keep getting added to it it tells us that you know once you start a law youve got to keep the law going that seems to be the case isnt it its like they just cannot give up the go its like no we didnt and look at this historic moment that im reading the members seem to read an awful p. R. Piece talking to reporters today the White House Press secretary as they point out always a great moment and really get she had an email like m. L. K.
