Youre watching cnn newsroom. Saturday may have been the largest protest so far in the 12day string of protests in the u. S. People are turning out in support of george floyd. It was an ocean of people in the Nations Capital. Washingtons mayor among the marchers. She called on President Trump to remove the National Guard and other forces from the city. Should all be watching whats because we dont want our. C. , federal government to do this to any other americans. Cnn has reporters stationed from coasttocoast. Our bill weir marching with protesters in new york city and lucy kavanaugh has the latest from los angeles. Lets start with bill weir. Reporter it is the 12th night of protesting in the United States, the 12th night of course of shakes peshakespeare this is real life. Were two hours past a mandatory curfew, and yet nypd, the new York Police Department is letting this group of several hundred protesters march at will. Theyre determined, disciplined, energized by news this week that four nypd commanders were reassigned as punishment for roughing up Peaceful Protesters. Three officers up in buffalo who shoved a 75yearold man and stepped over his bleeding, unconscious body were charged with Second Degree assault. They see that as a victory. They are calling for police reformer that would open up the disciplinary records of officers, eliminate change holds, make calling 911 and making false accusations against a person of color, would make that a hate crime. All these organizers say this is the fruit of their labor this week e and youve seep, basically, the Police Response evolve over the week. It went from very aggressive violence, containment to letting these folks wear themselves out. Today was a full day of massive, peaceful protests in many cities now. And it will be interesting to see if this message carries through the weekend and into next week as people who have never protested before are feeling this movement. Whoa. And so, and such is the peril of marching backwards. Its good, all right, im bill weir, cnn, new york. Reporter michael, weve been walking the streets of Downtown Los Angeles where hundreds, actually probably thousands of d demonstrators have been in the streets, demanding justice, demanding reform to the way policing is done in the United States in the aftermath of the deaths of george floyd, Brionna Taylor and countless other americans of color who lost their lives at the hands of the police. This has been an incredibly peaceful crowd. Its been a diverse crowd. You see white people, black people, latino people, asians, lgbtq community, everyone coming out to show their support for the black lives Matter Movement to demand reforms, to look for some sort of a change, because this is, unfortunately, not the first time that weve covered stories like this. And the people here are tired. Tear t tired of coming out for these demonstrations. They want to see some sort of action, something done differently this time. Now this is one of dozens of protests in los angeles that has grown in size throughout the day. There have been protests every single day. And one of the notable changes is that while people continue to come out, while the numbers of demonstrators grow almost exponentially day by day, we have not seen the police in heavy riot gear. We have not seen the police pushing back against the crowds. Its been a peaceful atmosphere here in los angeles. Michael . All right, lucy kavanaugh there, and we want to have a look back at portland, where we are keeping an eye on protests there. You can see Police Security on the left of the screen there. And a fairly large group of protesters on the right of the screen. Very difficult to see. Its dark there, obviously. Were told its a fairly tense situation. We are keeping an eye on it, and hopefully it doesnt develop further. 10 00 in portland. Now, those two Police Officers who were seen on video, pushing a Senior Citizen protesting in buffalo, new york, they were arapraigned on saturd morning. Both pleading not guilty to one count of assault in the Second Degree, and they have been released on bail. Now a crowd welcoming that news with cheers and applause outside. The District Attorney says the 75yearold man had to get treated for head injuries, loss of consciousness. He was bleeding from the ear, heavily in the early stages. He does still remain in critical condition. And now, in philadelphia, a Police Inspector facing charges after prosecutors said a video shows him hitting a protester on the head with a baton, be warned, what you are about to see is disturbing. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. That is hard to watch. The District Attorney there says the staff inspector faces charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person. Many protesters are asking city leaders to Defund Police departments, meaning they want cities to spend less money on punishment and policing and more money on community services, especially in marginalized areas. Minneapolis mayor, jacob frey told protesters he didnt support the Defund Movement and this is how they responded. Yeah, he was there talking to protesters after he said he wouldnt support it. He basically got kicked out of the protest. Mayor freys office says he is supportive of Structural Reforms but not of defunding the police. Some say that is one solution, to defund. Well, Kelly Lytle Hernandez is a professor of history and africanamerican studies at uk lu ucla and joins me. Some say it sounds crazy, but its about diverting funds from some Police Activity and rediverting it into other areas. Give us a sense of what that is meant by that. Sure, what you are hearing on the streets of the United States today about Defunding Police is part of a much longer history and genealogy around justice reinvestment, which is an acknowledgement that we have spend four, five, six decades building up the capacity to police and to cage our fellow citizens and neighbors. And what we want to see is that we shrink the budgets for Law Enforcement, for police and incarceration in particular and divert those funds over to schools, to housing, to employment services, to Mental Health services, and that that is really going to be the route toward thriving families and communities. Is it the case that police these days are doing many jobs. They were probably never meant to do. And probably would prefer not to do. I mean, in areas of what, you tell me, Mental Health, social work, even, you know, drug arrests and so on. Is that the sort of thing that communities should take some of the Police Budget and do and leave the police out of it . Thats another good question. So there certainly has been Mission Creep for Law Enforcement, where, if you look at, here in los angeles, the top charges in most communities, charges for which people are arrested, tend to do with Substance Abuse and disorders. Duis, possession of narcotics and whatnot. So what were arguing is that the police really dont need to be involved in all of that. What we need is more Counseling Services and Substance Use and abuse services. Of Course Police forces, a lot of people are also saying is part of this debate that Police Forces have become, you know, massive. Some of the budgets are huge. And dwarf social budgets. Is it fair to say that Police Forces have become a pretty hungry beast . Certainly, well, here in los angeles and many cities across the country you see that Law Enforcement as taking up larger and larger shares of local budgets. So here in l. A. , the unrestricted revenue is about 52 dedicated to the Los Angeles Police department, whereas our local libraries get about 4 . So were looking for a shift, that our priorities move away from policing, and, again, its policing where theres been a lot of Mission Creep and move it into more support services. I was going to ask, too, one complication in the u. S. , and i did not know this. There are 18,000 distinct police agencies. How does that complicate any push for redirection of funding . And oversight of how it all is, would work . Yes, the u. S. Criminal Justice System is completely localized to a large degree. The Good Opportunity here is that you are seeing a Mass Mobilization across the country. So local residents now have the capacity and the power to really enforce change at the local level. So theres a difficulty, because its so disaggregated here in the United States, but also, its really a moment for local communities to control over their own Public Safety regimes. And of course you are going to get a lot of people who are going to say defund the police, cut Police Services in whatever areas you want to pick, there will be chaos. Youll come screaming for us in no time. What to you say . Well, its part of the culture that weve built up over the last few decades is this notion that Public Safety rests with our local Law Enforcement, instead of Public Safety resting with strong schools, expansive and subsidized housing and employment for all. So it, this is a much deeper conversation that we need toen havi be having here in the United States about how do we create Public Safety for all. It is very clear that right now the bloated Police Budgetes is only leading to a large degree of harm mostly to some communities. Its getting a lot more mainstream conversations. There City Councils talking about this. Do you think it will go anywhere . Im hopeful, but, again, this is part of a longer movement thats been going on here in the United States called justice reinvestment. So this movement has been building strength, has been working with budgets across the country. Here in los angeles, there were proposals already in place before the uprising began to shift funding out of the lapd and into support services. So my hope is that there are longer legs here, deeper roots that can carry us through to real transformation at the local level across the country. Going to be interesting to see how that campaign continues. Great to speak but, kelly, Kelly Lytle Hernandez, professor, thank you. Thank you for having me on. Now, on wednesday, George Floyds brother is going to testify before congress. Hell appear at a hearing on policing practices and Law Enforcement accountability, following the death of his brother. He says he spoke briefly with President Trump and at greater length with democratic president ial nominee joe biden. Meanwhile, george floyd was remembered saturday near the town where he was born. Loved ones, strangers, local leaders, all coming together for a memorial service. Mourners eulogized him. And there were calls for change. Enough. Dont let the life of george floyd be in vain.

Service in reford where his sister bridget still lives. They were dressed in white, alternating between tears and dancing and talking about george when he was young, personality traits, and how he died, what some me can become the catalyst for change in the United States. Before the private service, there weighs a public viewing that allowed people in North Carolina to pay their respects to george floyd with the proper conditions. The sheriff had people Wearing Masks and social distancing inside, not spending too much time there. This has been something that people in the area say they are affected by. They wanted to be here in person and see george floyd. People in the state of texas will get their opportunity to do so on monday and tuesday, when a public viewing, private burial will take place.

People the world over are gathering to protest in their own cities. No justice, no peace reporter the calls are getting louder. The voices more numerous. London is leaning into americas pa pain and demanding an end to its own. I feel that what happened in the u. S. Was just, it was the spark that sparked everywhere. And it happened here. Ive experienced it. Reporter racism . Yes, definitely. When you see that happen across the world, you feel a part of yourself die. I personally, i know more about the u. S. And issues there, but its definitely an issue here. Its a worldwide issue, no matter where you are. Its an issue where we all need to rise up. Reporter what is clear, by the day, these protests are gathering global momentum, spreading so far around the world. The sun never sets on someone demanding justice for george floyd, asking us to understand black lives matter, when calling for change. Black lives matter reporter sydney, adelaide, brisbon, melbourne, right across australia saturday, the ripples of anger at George Floyds killing have turned to waves of protest, demanding better rights for aboriginals. In northern france, crowds joined the global outrage. Indeed, point to a place on the planet, and there will have been protests. Japan, south korea. Kenya, south africa, lebanon, canada, where p. M. Justin trudeau just took a knee, all of these in the past 48 hours. Everywhere there is hope. The swell of support will amount to change, finally. I have aworker and paken a p that has been begging for release. Theres something about 2020, coronavirus, george floyd, to be here, it feels like i should have been here from tday one. Reporter every indication here, still more protests to come. Nic robertson, cnn, london. People Standing Shoulder to shoulder, yelling, coughing, not always Wearing Masks, basically everything were told not to do during the coronavirus pandemic and yet it is happening at protests all around the world. People are getting tear gassed which has them coughing and touching their faces. This week more than a thousand physicians and Health Care Professionals signed a letter supporting the demonstrators. Earlier, i spoke to dr. Jade pagkas bather. She is one who signed the open letter, here is what she suggested. Obviously, no protesters, if they were able to maintain social distancing during protests, i know thats difficult, but would be helpful to decrease coronavirus transmission as well as universal masking during protests, and then obviously, protesting in outside areas instead of enclosed spaces. And then when it comes to Law Enforcement, using less force so that protesters are not pushed towards each other, not using tear gas, which weakens the natural defenses, to viruses. And also causes people to seek shelter and go closer together, trying to help each other out. In addition to, you know, not using rubber bullets or tactics that corral people into enclosed spaces or tight spaces where they can no longer maintain distance. There does seem to be a lot of that going on, sad to say. I guess its difficult at this point to know the impact of these protests on virus spread. And its confusing, i suppose, for a lot of states reopened around the same time, and people are mingling more and more. But do you see an inevitable resurgence ahead . I think its certainly possible. But as weve said, the fact that many states are opening up at the same time, its going to be very difficult to parse things out and to determine whether the protests are truly the catalyst to surges in coronavirus cases. I think one way we could really sort that out and have a clearer picture is that states invested in Contact Tracing whereby they, you know, were to trace the steps and the connections of other people who are coronavirus positive, and then we could possibly link that to either, you know, going to new restaurants that are opening or, or protests or any other, sort of, any other sort of social gatherings that people may be attending now that its been deemed safer to start doing some of that. Some, some, theres been some suggestion or some recommendation from some quarters that people who have been protesting should, you know, proactively get a test, just to check. Would you recommend that . I think, i mean, that is the best way to know whether youve been exposed to a virus, apart from being symptomatic yourself and getting tested, but absolutely, having a test, universal testing, as we saw in south korea, worked wonders, and we were abe le to kind of see h they did that and they are really able to kind of contain their cases. So testing is one way to know whether youve an exposure. I was curious, too. This is obviously based around black lives matter, and we are seeing minority communities disproportionate l disproportionately impacted by the anniversary. It does make you think, what can or should be done to address the reasons for that. Wow, thats a really big question. I think what were seeing at play in terms of not only coronavirus but a lot of other diseases. Chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, cancers. Were seeing social determinants of health at play. When people dont have access to insurance, good health care, then theyre later to the game when it comes to being diagnosed with illnesses. And i think in the case of black and brown people in the United States, they certainly fall into that category of not having equal access as their white counter parts to health care and good infrastructure. In addition, what compounds this is that many black and brown persons in the United States are also deemed to be essential workers. So these are the people who are, you know, bagging your groceries. Who are really facing forward with the public on a regular basis, and therefore maybe having more exposures. U. S. President donald trump said he would use active duty troops to clear out protesters if needed.

And welcome back to our viewers here in the United States and all around the world. Im michael holmes, youre watching cnn newsroom, appreciate your company. The u. S. Attorney general is pushing back on reports he gave the order to clear Peaceful Protesters outside the white house last week before that president ial photo op outside a church. The protests were peaceful until Law Enforcement used tear gas and rubber bullets and pepper to clear the area. The white house said the decision came from the attorney general william barr, and President Trump didnt know about the plan. Barr told a reporter a park Police Tactical commander teufelly ga teufeteufe actually gave the order. He said my attitude was get it done, but i didnt say go do it. Confused . Some people are. Thousands of National Guard troops sent to washington after the protests over George Floyds death began could be leaving as early as monday. D. C. s mayor has complained about the troops from outside the region. Reporter some of the nearly 4,000 additional National Guard troops that were brought to the Nations Capital in response to the recent protests could start going home as soon as monday. The top general in the d. C. National guard told cnn in an exclusive interview. Theyll be redeploying this week, probably as early as monday. Do you have a sense of how many, is that all of them . Or just a portion of them . H they will leave as the situation dictates. Reporter now the presence of those troops from some 11 states was major point of contention with the white house and the mayor, with the mayor asking to remove those troops, saying local Law Enforcement could handle the protests. But defense Officials Say because of the peaceful nature of the recent protests they could potentially begin drawing down the number of troops. The general also addressed another controversy, that is those lowlevel helicopter nights that took place monday. Some accuse those helicopter flights of being intended to disperse some of the protesters. I have a joint task force commander, a general that serves under me. So he had the aircraft in the air. I am not a pilot. So i dont know if that was the, if they were too low. I dont know if they were too low. Heres what i can tell you. A full investigation is under way right now, and its going to be thorough. Its going to be comprehensive. Reporter the general echoed other senior military leaders saying at this time, active military troops were not needed to respond, but he did not have a crystal ball and would remain watchful as the days moved forward. Ryan browne, cnn, washington. President trump says he remains confident in his defense secretary. Esper submplit with the preside last week. Call me. Well have so many people, more people than you have to dominate the streets. Reporter a possible threat to washington, d. C. Mayor muriel bowser, who wants less National Guard on the streets. The president tweeting in part if she doesnt treat these men and women well, then well bring in a Different Group of men and women. Trumps threats of military force and that photo op walk to st. Johns church, accompanied by mark esper and general mark milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff still being blasted. Former white house chief of staffer of john kelly. I would argue that the end result of that was predictable. I would have argued against it. Recommended against it. Reporter coming just two days after his close friend, former defense secretary james mattis ripped into trump. Donald trump is the first president of my life five who does not try to unite the american people, does not even pretend to try. From those currently serving, the president s threat has received no support. The entire joint chiefs of staff, heads of all the military branches have each issued statements calling for an end to racism. Think about dignity and respect. Reporter none mentioning trumps threats. Millie writing, we have committed our lives to the idea that this is america. We will stay true to that oath and the american people. The chiefs first used the strategy of carefullyworded public statements after the 2017 white supremacist neonazi rally in charlottesville, virginia. Each at that time issued statements against racism, even as controversy raged around trumps handling of the violence. The former chairman of the joint chiefs under george w. Bush speaking to the challenges the military faces with this commander in chief. Im glad i dont have to advise this president , because it would be, im sure, the Senior Military Leadership is finding it really difficult these days to provide good, sound military advice. Reporter now defense secretary mark esper under fire by the white house, after laying down his personal marker about what he believes should not happen now. I do not support invoking the insur rex exact. Reporter they came close to putting paratroopers on the c y streets. Only thing that really happened is you martial forces close so that if something went bad you were in a position to act. Reporter almost all of the active duty troops have now returned to their home bases, making it difficult to put them out on city streets, but there is a strong sense across much of the pentagon that the defense secretary mark esper is still on the outs with the white house. Barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. Joining me now is samantha vi vinigrad. You helped design sanctions to hold foreign governments accountable for harming their open people. When you look at american streets today and technically what we saw of military presence and the president s statements on potential use of military force, are you reminded of those days of warning other governments not to do exactly that . The truth is, if this was happening anywhere but on u. S. Soil, we would be issuing stronglyworded statements and really revealing a list of punitive actions we could take if this behavior continued. You look at the militarization of u. S. Streets in the name of security, you look at the attacks on press freedoms, the attacks on Peaceful Protesters. Lack of accountability over all for certain professionals. And i cant name how many countries we issued statements of condemnation against for exactly this kind of behavior. And the fact of the matter is, that because the president is overseeing if not directing these actions at home, he is undercutting the ability of our own personnel to do their jobs overseas. You and i have spoken about the protests in hong kong for example. The secretary of state issue add statement this morning talking about those protests. But, at this point, because of whats happening here at home the state department is going to have a hard time not being laughed out of the room when they push other countries not to attack democratic freedoms. We cant have one standard for the United States and another standard, frankly, for the rest of the world. Exactly. The other thing thats worrying is the number of, you know, who knows who they are, actually, and thats the whole point of the question. Lets just say Security Forces on the streets with no badge, no i. D. Of any kind. They could be contractors for all we know. I was in crimea in 2014 when Vladimir Putins little green men came in, and its striking to see Unidentified Forces on ou u. S. Streets. What did you make of that . If we just look at washington, d. C. We have a smorgasbord of security personnel. Its become an alphabet soup of acronyms as well as various Law Enforcement personnel as well. As you mention, some of these Law Enforcement personnel are not clearly identifying themselves, nor are they wearing badges. When asked who they work for they either dont answer or give ambiguous answers, just saying they work for the department of justice. This presents a lot of serious concerns. If a Law Enforcement professional doesnt identify himself or herself, a private citizen doesnt know whether to listen to them. That could create real problems for lawful arrests, questioning or searches. It also creates direct security risks. We have armed malish yeah, trying to pervert these protests for personal gain. And when we have unidentified Law Enforcement personnel with large firearms near to or next to our militias, it becomes difficult to distinguish who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. And finally, the fact that these personnel are not clearly identifying themselves raises real risks for accountability. If a Law Enforcement person, professional, is not wearing a badge or clearly identifying themselves, that makes it harder to hold them accountable if they misuse force, engage in excess ever force or some other unlawful action during the operation of their duties. So it really puts down side pressure on the ability to hold Law Enforcement personnel accountable if necessary. Its sort of thing ive seen in other counties, certainly not this one. Its worrying in many ways. I want you to speak also to the number of senior military figures whove split with donald trump, mattis and kelly and numerous other generals. What does that signify to you . I think signifies that we are seeing a broadening range of dedicated Public Servants speak out against the president. General mattis said it correctly. He views President Trump as a threat to the constitution. And we have to remember that these military leaders were apolitical during their careers. They swore an oath to uphold the constitution. They all served under multiple president s and did their duties without issuing public statements and without wearing politics on their sleeve. Their job was to serve their country. The fact that they are speaking out, so many of them with a similar message is really unprecedented. And it really speaks to the risk here. It speaks to the risk for the president s potential misuse of our military against Peaceful Protesters here in the United States and the risk he presents overseas as well. The fact, again, that these are military personnel, not political appointees, nor people that, you know, have really clear political agendas, speaks to the fact that this is an issue that is bringing really seasoned experts together and really speaks to the level of risk that theyre seeing. The question now becomes who else speaks out and speaks up from across the political spectrum here in the United States, and of course what impact, if any, that has on the election in november. Hmm, yeah, exactly. P samantha vinograd, always a pleasure to have you on. Thank you. Well take a quick break. The fight against racism has spread far beyond americas shores and to all walks of life.

Across america parents are having tough conversations with their kids about racism and injustice. Mike galanos talks to three families to see how theyre handling it. Reporter a mom to a 13yearold black teen. A father of two black daughters, their ages are 14 and 4. And kelly casper is a mom to 19yearold biracial twins. Shes also a mom to a 9 and 11yearold and those two children are white. All three parents talking to their children about race and racism in america. For our 14yearold she brought the conversation to me because she was flooded on her instagram and tiktok accounts with the videos of Ahmaud Arbery and george floyd. She was irate of how these things could happen in presentday america and then started talking about civil rights and how things had to change. As a 13yearold right now i will say the conversations are a bit heavier. He has experienced that biased and he has observed it happen. Our conversations with our biracial sons are definitely aimed more towards how do we keep you safe. Weve talked to them about being overcompliant, overcooperative with Police Officers. We dont have to have these same conversations with our younger two white children and thats unfortunate. An africanamerican child hears this. In their heart is this is not fair. What follows . What do you do as a parent . You cant say well, thats not real, thats an isolated event. You have to be able to say you know what, racism is real. At any point in time that can happen. The question what if john and jalen were arrested would this happen to them, would they end up murdered or treated differently, and we just say there is a chance if they were arrested they would be treated differently because of the color of their skin. We explained to them not everyone has the same heart as us, but its up to us to change the hearts of people who hold hate inside. We would like our white friends and colleagues to have conversations with their children, too, because they will be treated differently. Theyll be treated with a privilege, but to use that privilege in a positive way. To use that privilege to stop the racism happening among their africanamerican friends. Please make this personal.
