States to prevent another night of protest against Police Brutality more than 1400 arrests were made in 17 cities over the past 24 hours the unrest was sparked by the death of george floyd who was black while in Police Custody in minneapolis on monday since then tension has boiled over from coast to coast against and demick racism and Police Brutality well officials in several states appealing for calm heres what Minnesota State Governor Tim Walz said a short time ago. We dont just right near the top on Educational Attainment we rank near the top on personal incomes on homeownership on life expectancies things that make this and one that came out a while back we we rank 2nd in a survey of the 50 states 2nd in happiness behind hawaii but if you take a deeper look and peel it back which this week its peeled back all of those statistics are true if youre white if youre not we rank near the bottom and what this week is showing all of us is those 2 things cant operate at the same place new yorks mayor bill de blasio says that a full investigation will take place off the police drove into a crowd during saturdays protest against George Floyds death that is not the way things are supposed to be there will be a full investigation into discipline as necessary there will be but do not present only one side of the picture i looked at those videos i saw people converging on the Police Vehicle i saw people throwing things at the Police Vehicle that is not peaceful protests so lets not kid ourselves if you or anyone else was inside that Police Vehicle surrounded by people you would have had a really tough decision to make you cant stay there you cant get out of the vehicle you have to get yourself and the vehicle out of the situation safely for all we have for correspondents monitoring the situation across the United States and gallagher is in Miami Natasha good name is standing by in chicago kimberly how could well have the latest from the white house for us but 1st lets speak to allison how data is at the hostel things in minneapolis alison where are you whats happening. You know youre right i am in the heart of things right now i am right im standing right just in front of the 3rd Precinct Police station that was burned on thursday night so you know i just been out here talking to people and i you know i heard that clip of the governor that you that you played him talking about the inequality and that you know that this is you know going to be a hard conversation for word i spoke to some people here on the street and i spoke to on a young woman named harvey snow white and she as a young africanamerican woman i asked her about what the governor said and i and i asked her you know what do you what do you think that. This is going to change things and she said you know weve heard this talk before and ill believe it when i see it so i think even though you know the governor is calling for having a hard hard conversations i think a lot of. People people of color in this community are really you know theres a high bar now and i think people are really going to expect some some change to happen i see right now some people showing up with brooms but i also know that theres you know some people are showing up with protest signs so i heard earlier when i was Walking Around that there is going to be another peaceful protest here at 1 oclock today i doubt if many thanks did i listen to her enough live in minneapolis lets go then to washington the White House Correspondent kelly how good is the we heard from the mayor of washington the president has been tweeting again about this quite a controversial tweet to. Yeah lets start with mayor bowzer and her comments because she in the u. S. President were in some conflict about 24 hours ago but now they seem to be i dont want to say unified in their message but they certainly both have pinpointed what they believe is a concern within these riots mayor bowzer was very clear what she said was that it is the 1st amendment right of people in her city to protest what they see as systemic racism in our institutions and she said for the most part what has happened in washington d. C. So far that has been the case the blacklegs Matter Movement for example had a very peaceful saturday caravan a car caravan that paraded through the streets and was nonviolent the problem became as it grew dark the mayor says that there were other elements that then participated in this in a different and more violent way heres what she had to say many seemed organized and had tools to break windows and tools or strategy to distribute materials among them so i would say the thing that were struck by is that it was an organized group that appeared more been on destruction been on protest. Now the u. S. President has been more vocal about these violent components of the protests that have been occurring across not just in washington d. C. But across the United States hes pointed to one the far left and a group known as anti 5 in fact the u. S. President tweeting in the last couple of hours the usa will be designating a t. V. As a terrorist organization heres the problem with that president s our president s tweet and that is that there is no domestic statute for declaring a terrorist organization within the United States and weve got a bit of clarity on now how this is going to happen is not going to happen by executive order or some other form or fashion in fact the u. S. Attorney generals come out with a statement adrian and what he says essentially is that there is now going to be an investigation coordinated with the states and the cities a using the existing joint Terrorism Task force the f. B. I. Will be investigating whether these are crimes of hate whether this is violent extremism and we should point out well they are pointing to a t. V. This would also investigate the reports of far right groups who may also be fomenting violent unrest so the clarification coming from the u. S. Attorney general of the department of justice in the last hour is essentially what the message has been from so many mayors across the country that the voices of peaceful protest are being hijacked by radical elements and in many cases are undercutting legitimate grievances now we understand of how this is mechanism is going to work in order to try and remedy that i was house correspondent kelly how could reporting live from washington many thanks indeed kimberly lets go to chicago then and seriousness i should name is the. Attention from the mayor of chicago Laurie Lightfoot appealing for protesters to remain peaceful those who hijacked the protests she said should be ashamed of themselves. Indeed adrian Mayer Lori Lightfoot actually at times sounded like she was speaking like a mother or a grandmother speaking directly to the people who were wreaking havoc in chicago on saturday evening the superintendent of the Chicago Police Department Says my heart is broken over the pockets of unrest in chicago on saturday evening he says what happened in Downtown Chicago was not a protest it was criminals coming downtown to steal what we saw were even after a curfew went into effect at 9 pm we continue to see people throw windows through stores and loot cars were set on fire police cars were spray painted with profanities bottles of urine were thrown at Police Officers 6 people were shot downtown one of those people died more than 240 people were arrested more than 20 Police Officers were injured 2 of them needed surgery the Illinois National guard has now been activated the city describes their role as quote a limited presence boundaries have been created around the Central Business district in order to try to protect it Going Forward with regard to mass transit buses and trains with the Chicago Transportation Authority will not be running in and out of downtown for the time being all time off for Chicago Police officers has been cancelled and a mere lorry lightfoot said that the city has to find a way forward that is just and equitable speaking directly to the people who are wreaking havoc she said you must use that energy and passion to do Something Better think of tomorrow. Seeing the images and reading the reports of reckless destruction that played out across our city and really across our country is heart breaking now make no mistake there is a lot of righteous anger and grief boiling here and across the country and that isnt just about george floyd although that was the catalyst for this expression its also about. Quam mcdonald continually greer and others of 0. 04. At one point there was an estimated 3000 people crowd on saturday protesting the city is now worried that this could become a potential coded 19 super spreader event the mayor is asking protesters who are out to self quarantine for the next 2 weeks or at the very least avoid the elderly and vulnerable populations the mayor reminds people that coded 1000 is quote ravaging black and brown communities are there as much as youre going to be reporting live from chicago many thanks natasha lets take you to miami and he gallagher is there for us whats the situation there andy. Well at least 40 arrests last night adrian mostly in downtown miami outside the Main Police Headquarters and like many other cities across this country there is now a curfew in place across all of Miami Dade County and on monday the beaches who were supposed to reopen thats now being canceled by the mayor of the city because of the looting that we saw last night on the the damage that we saw the protesters said at least one police car on fire they took to the i 95 the main highway in this state closing that down for some time but the demonstrations here have been on a smaller scale than weve seen in other parts of the country like l. A. New york and of course minneapolis but the the feeling here is still of great anger remember florida 8 years ago is where Trayvon Martin the unarmed teenager was gunned down by the selfappointed Neighborhood Watch captain George Zimmerman who was consequently found innocent by a jury that was a case that resonated around the world but the pain of the result of that case sill states sits very poorly with the Africanamerican Community here and of course just last month ahmad aubry who was jogging through a neighborhood in georgia was corralled by 2 white men who decided to arm them so. Elves and killed him that was initially not handled well by the authorities in georgia so all of this is just building up and i think the sense of anger the sense of injustice is just as real here as it is anywhere else across the country now because that curfew is now in place here in miami tonight the expectation is that there wont be the trouble that we saw last night but its hard to tell because feelings are running very high at the moment but the authorities here have made it very clear that from 8 pm in downtown miami there is a curfew in place and from 9 pm its effective everywhere else in the majority of the arrests last night for breaking that particular curfew so we will have to wait and see but there is certainly protests going on all across this state from here in miami in the very south of the state all the way up to jacksonville near the state line with georgia aljazeera and you got to reporting live from miami many thanks heidi these live pictures from some paul minnesota where protesters are up for a 5th day of protests armed vehicles have been deployed to in order to contain the protests well keep an eye on the situation and paul well bring you any updates when i need to report but as weve been hearing from our White House Correspondent President Trump announced earlier on twitter that the United States of america will be designating empty for a terrorist organization he says that other democrat run cities and states should look at the total shut down of radical left anarchists in minneapolis last night but our National Guard did a great job he said and should be used in other states before its too late but earlier National Security adviser Robert Obrien echoed the u. S. President s stance against n. T. For. We stand with the protesters its the violent and tea for the radical militants that are coming out under cover of night traveling across state lines i use in military style tactics to burn down our cities and theyre especially targeting the most vulnerable parts of our city is george the the minority sections africanamerican sections and hispanic areas and burning down businesses of people who are trying to get a leg up and and the presence outraged by that than we all are and and that has to stop and were calling on the f. B. I. To investigate and to fund and get to the bottom of these violent rioters. Is a collection of left wing groups which oppose naziism White Supremacists and racism some anti for groups can trace their origins to the fight against european freshest in the 1920 s. And thirtys like other protest movements from that era and activists often dress or in black the movement was dormant for years but ive seen a revival since President Trumps election most new members are young voters lets bring in douglas loon from washington d. C. Hes a social justice activist and democratic strategist is the president right to blame the violence that weve seen over the past a couple of days across the u. S. On n. T. Phone. Absolutely not and tif in the United States is simply is not that large nor well organized what the president is trying to do is he is trying to control and formulate his own narrative to try to demonize and vilify the Democratic Party as an t. V. Is seen is being largely liberal and left leaning and part of the tangent of the Democratic Party thats simply just not the case of course you know the democrats are going to condone any type of violence and the president is largely ignoring the White Supremacist Movement that has become very active in these protests that has been called out by the media and by the protesters on the ground we have a white supremacist groups that are actively engaging in destructive practices during these protests isnt sowing chaos and. Destroying property and the president saying anything about that of course because he thinks those White Supremacists and nazis are very fine people so youd agree that the protests are indeed being hijacked but by whom are you saying that its this is all down the violence that were seeing is that the White Supremacists. Well im not saying that and he is not involved. Quite frankly unfortunately and teeth as no were mere as organized nor as large a group as the neo nazis and the k. K. K. Which have been shown to be involved in some of these protests you look on social media has been reported by different Media Outlets like the daily beast and so on that they have seen evidence of white supremacist groups becoming borgen eyes and going into these for areas to become by land to disorder property and to promote chaos so im not going to say there is all white supremacist groups obviously theres still a lot of pressure tracing here from the. Our right killing in trying to zazen of. Meat and brews a scene of george poor so im not going to say this is all and he for all White Supremacy is because there is a lot of frustration is boiled over on the parcel of blacks hispanics and anyone with a conscience of the treatment of disparate or sees me all on the disparate treatment of blacks at the hands of police so this isnt a left or right issue as far as most people who are out of the streets protesting. This is a human rights issue this is not a left or right issue this has to do with mr fords a brutalization a murder in broad daylight that have been under the color of the law and it just wasnt one officer all over was one of being officer they killed him there were 3 other officers standing by they condoned in signed off on that murder and in this type of treatment black males the hands of police and people of color in general at the hands of police and aggressive enforcement in Police Practices must stop but have to have a change in tactics by Police D
