S. Is killed by the police during a gate and be aljazeera lets go live talk with one to 100 whos been following the story chicago enjoy. The strong depth of feeling here about whats going on as demonstrated in those protests. Thats right the embers are still burning there and the mayor came out and spoke jacob frey said this was the culmination not just of the 5 minutes in which that officer kneeled on the neck of george floyd but of 400 years of legacies since slavery during the colonial times he was emotional and choked up and called upon this city to calm these you know raging anger over this overnight of course as you saw in that story there was heavy looting in fires the Police Precinct was damaging for blocks now some buildings are just completely gone that city was morally devastated on monday when this happened 3 days later here on thursday it is physically devastated and the issue now is whether this will continue the National Guard has been requested by the mayor of that city formally its the governor who has to ask for the National Guard to come in and that would mean a kind of occupation of military troops and its not clear how people in this city would respond to that kind of massive military force there certainly not responding well to the Police Presence there nic so john the u. S. Department just said it has made the investigation a top priority but any charge that let it be weeks or even months away before that will happen do you get a sense that these these protests will Gain Momentum or will feeling. Well that seems to be the problem because the protesters got one thing they wanted one day afterwards that and that was the firing of those 4 Police Officers but now what many of them are calling for is murder charges against the Police Officer who put his knee on George Floyds neck and around the country were hearing more and more voices from political leaders calling for that kind of charge nancy pelosi the speaker the u. S. House of representatives said and america witnessed an execution in the video there the mayor of the city of minneapolis was asked this morning yesterday he called on prosecutors to levy criminal charges against at least that one Police Officer and here on thursday he was asked if he believed that charge should be murder he said yes many protesters have scrawled their own verdict in their answer to that question on Derek Chauvin the Police Officers home driveway across that driveway is scrawled the word murder or i dont even have a mentor 100 put in from chicago lets take this home we can speak now tonight because its a whos an assistant professor of Political Science at Howard University joins us on skype from washington d. C. Now because a welcome to the program so here we are again im afraid these offices have been fired as you know do you think we will see murder charges which will lead to full Legal Proceedings. I think we probably will see murder charges the question is will we see convictions we saw officer you know not even 4 years ago for killing a lad ok still in the same city so its not clear that these officers will be convicted in the murder of joy george floyd especially seeing that the only officer that we can think of in recent memory whos gotten some time for murder was officer nor who killed a white australian woman so why is it that so often the Legal Proceedings goes in that way that the those who are implicated seem to disc it off well i mean weve bought into this notion that Police Officers fear give them the right to murder anybody that they want and all the office have to say is i was afraid or i had a reason to believe that this person reach too quickly and its ok to murder people in the same way that they can call what is happening riots right now people are upset people are bothered by what has happened in their Community Less than a month that their reality they are in a moderate rykiel in distant cities but this is happening across the country set a call what is happening anything other than right to just continue and be bold worry about property be our people i think is disingenuous are the reason why officers get all because we make the victims in these cases the people that were putting on trial and not officers and their acts right for a Police Department you would think that it would start with accountability within their own ranks but that so often doesnt seem to be the case. No and i think you have a lease unions a lot less leeway in these proceedings to plead the case of these officers so that if there is no sort of civilian oversight and then we have juries who are willing to believe that the officer is fears again a last few years trumps the rights of the citizens to be Walking Around breathing right now it creates a really negative feedback loop because all these offices really do multiple tasks and get slapped on the wrist maybe theyre fired but that doesnt prevent them from getting jobs and other places we saw this when 12 year old to be arrest was murdered a Police Officer doug Police Officer who killed him was able to get other employment as a Police Officer after this murder and to be employed in that particular precinct after it was said he with elite quit for the art that so it happens oh you know the troubling event indeed and here because we do appreciate your perspective on this thank you so much for joining us thank you for having.
