Im wayne hay in oakland new zealand we will tell you why coronavirus may change the way our cities are designed. The mayor of new york city says that immediate action should be taken against Police Officers who are heavy handed when dealing with protesters the city just like many other parts of the us a scene days of sometimes violent protests against the killing of a black man in Police Custody george floyd died after he was restrained by a white policeman who knelt on his neck for almost 9 minutes heres what bill de blasio has been saying about Police Officers who overstepped their authority. Any situation where an officer does something even in the context of a protest in a tense situation they do something offensive and inappropriate there must be immediate investigation that must be the appropriate penalty and that penalty here include all the way up to being removed from the police force theres a video going around of a Police Officer in the middle of a situation that admittedly looked chaotic but where protesters were in front of that Police Officer a Police Officer drew his gun at some point yesterday that to me seeing that video was absolutely unacceptable lets take you live now to new york countersuits kristen salumi is there what else to have to say kristen. Well the men talked about the fact that the overwhelming majority of the protests that have been taking place in the streets for the past 4 days now have been peaceful and police overwhelmingly have shown restraint with demonstrators he had to answer to some of the videos that have been circulating showing Police Officers doing things that were questionable he mentioned just there an officer who pulled a gun another video surfaced over the weekend of 2 patrol cars driving into a crowd of protesters very dangerous situation there he received some criticism for not criticizing the Police Officers strongly enough he did so more strongly today trying to insist that and no Police Misconduct will be tolerated and that the city will take a hard line on that at the same time that theyre dealing with violent outbreaks on the streets as well there was also an incident last night that involved looting in Lower Manhattan and the mayor was also critical of that saying that. This had to be dealt with and was not helping the situation he described people causing violence as outside agitators theres been talk from the Police Department about organized efforts to provoke violence at some of these demonstrations but he did not get specific as to which groups what he did say is that they will be dealt with and that such activities will not be allowed but really a lot of time overwhelmingly spent on dealing with accusations of Police Misconduct there were however 3 demonstrators whove also been arrested for throwing molotov cocktails and the Police Commissioner thanks local prosecutors for bringing charges against some of the demonstrators who threw molotov cocktails allegedly at Police Officers during this so a lot. I have a lot to unpack a lot of things for the mayor to talk about in a very tense situation here in new york. Working week gets underway what is the mood in the city right now. While it is still tense daytime now theres no demonstrations going on at this moment but we do expect more people to hit the streets later today and theres a lot of concern that you know this feeling. Is really making the city uneasy its coming in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and while weve seen the numbers go down dramatically here in new york the city remains under Lockdown People are not supposed to be going to work unless theyre essential workers theyre supposed to be avoiding big gatherings and the mayor also had to answer questions about whether or not people attending these protests should be cited for violating social distance rules so he said that thats a tough situation they didnt want to get in the way of people protesting but at the same time the whole message from city and State Government has been not to get in close contact to wear masks and not all of the demonstrators have been wearing mouse so this has also been addressed by the governor of new york who said that this is a time where systematic change could be possible theres clearly a lot of outrage and theres righteous outrage according to the governor of new york state but he said thats being undermined by these violent incidents and he called on calm and a break to adjust and to move forward on some of these issues in a more pragmatic and a less.

S. Atlanta mayor keesha lance bottoms said the officers actions were unacceptable sometime during the night i saw a very disturbing video of 2 Young College students who were in downtown atlanta yesterday evening and it was disturbing on many levels the least of not which was that the air clearly was an excessive use of force the 3 other officers were placed on desk duty and main face further discipline plan as police chief apologized how we behaved as an agency as individuals was unacceptable and i know that we.

The United States he tweeted will be designated as a terrorist organization and the American Civil Liberties union was quick to point out that any attempt to do so would raise concerns about the constitutional right to free speech adding that the terrorist is an inherently political label that is easily abused and misused the attorney general subsequently clarified that the joint Terrorism Task force would investigate the violence focusing on whether any group including active was responsible. And washingtons mayor called on the president to temper the tone of his tweets i think that the president has a role to play nationally in calming. The the arm rest that we see in cities across america and i think at the least he has to not incite violence and thats what we would expect president ial candidate joe biden visited a protest site wearing a mask he talked to demonstrators and then released the street urging the need to listen and whether intentionally or not including a picture of himself taking a knee in the manner of athletes in recent years protesting police brutality. There were some isolated incidents of unrest particularly in philadelphia where a building was set alight and arrests were made.

President had to say he is expressing frustration with the violence and urging those governors to try and dominate is the word that he used to arrest and try people hes also frustrated that not many governors have sort of heeded his call to call in the military or at least the National Guard to support the policing facts said that the joint chiefs of staff general milley is in charge but i was outraged at the governors reportedly saying you arent calling them up were doing this in washington d. C. And we will be doing something you havent seen before now its a little unclear what the u. S. President is talking about there because we know the National Guard in washington d. C. Is serving in a support role but we should be very clear for our viewers that the military cannot rasta has no policing authority and that is a very important distinction in the midst of all of this as the National Guard has been supporting washington as mike hanna reported has seen at least 3 nights of violent protests that have taken place just at the perimeter of the white house campus to that end the mayor of washington d. C. Muriel bowzer has moved up the time for a curfew in washington d. C. It will now take a.
