President ial hopeful joe biden condemns President Trumps handling of the nationwide Police Brutality for. 10 scenes outside the white house with a curfew now in full effect across the u. S. Capital. And after President Trump visited a catholic shrine criticism mounts that hes using religion as a political tool. Welcome to the program the family of george floyd have made an emotional appeal for justice as protests continue right across the country despite curfews and threats of force the mother of floyds daughter paid tribute to him describing him as a good man and emphasizing the impact his killing will have on his child hell have the. Well were agile way. He will never walk down. The problem see the baby in the day he did not have daddy more. Baby. And only of killing. Because of that one yes its a hill. While throwing to death the spot days of protests including in washington d. C. In the us president s come under criticism for his handling of the tense situation in particular the forcible removal of protesters outside the white house in order for donald trump to have a photo op at a church when Peaceful Protesters. Dispersed in order for a president. A president from the doorstep of the peoples house the white house using tear gas and flash grenades in order to stage a photo op a photo on one of the most Historic Churches in the country or at least in washington d. C. We can be forgiven for believing the president s more interested in and power then in principle. Were just serving the passion that was based on the needs of the people it is clear. Well ministers including those attached to the church that trump visited have also criticized the president accusing him of using religion as props for his own political ends meanwhile protests are continuing right across the country curfews are in place in many cities to keep borda the protests have been mostly peaceful during the day but nightfall has brought some looting and vandalism in certain areas but john hendren joins us live now from minneapolis john so lets talk 1st about that freud Family Press Conference in minneapolis a short while ago it was tearful it was poignant what more did the family have to say. Where you really played a most poignant part of a tear and that was when the mother of floyds daughter spoke about how he would never be able to walk her down the aisle and she said she pointed to her daughter and she said i want these officers to know what they took from him meaning his daughter and it was really an effort that weve seen over several days from his brother chair and yesterday and again today members of his family to try to humanize him and to try to show that this was a real person hes not the dehumanized figure that you see they need police so often when we have incidents like this the rodney king beating and that sort of thing that the person gets dehumanised because they are known as somebody who is accused of a crime and theyre also known as somebody who has simply been beaten by police and what theyre trying to do we should tell people this was a real man he had real family he loved his daughter and they did a good job i think in human eyes. And john we also understand that minnesota has now filed a civil rights charge against the Minneapolis Police over the death of george floyd what does this all mean. The governor of minneapolis tim walsh has filed. A justice a last well. Hes never filed an investigation and what that investigation will do is look into the Minneapolis Police department for possible human rights abuses in fact is only about 40 percent of minneapolis is minority and yet in Something Like 2 thirds of the incidents where Excessive Force is used it is used against the Minority Community and into thats the kind of thing they want to investigate and while that investigation goes on the governor wants to have a voluntary agreement with the Minneapolis Police so that they will immediately change some policies to make it a more racially Fair Department derren and when we spoke yesterday john the streets seem pretty quiet so its been its been raining there now but whats happening around you just told us through that. You know. Well we are at the george floyd memorial spot its just across the street behind me but. There are thousands of people here you probably cant see very many of them behind me because its just this guys weve opened up and people of all run for the shelter that they can find many of them are right around us because were under a gas station on the air so thousands of people have gathered here and theyre going to shelter a little bit from the rain we were in city hall just a short while ago where several 1000 people were gathered in front of the State Capitol listening to speakers and very peacefully protesting on the lawn outside of that scenic capitol but what shows you what an extraordinary time this is that underneath the capitol dome. There were armored personnel carriers full of National Guard troops standing there people who normally are you know doing other jobs for military duty. And guarding all of these protesters its really an extraordinary time here meanwhile you can see. Even the rain hasnt really got people inside theyre not leaving theyre just looking for shelter and air and john hendren will no doubt come back to you throughout the night john thank you for now lets cross over now to washington d. C. And talk to see how baton see whos there for us she have so last night you were caught up in the drama of being tear gassed by the police as they were making way for the president tell us where you are now and whats happening around you. Well were just outside the church of st john actually and i was famous suddenly locally as the church of the president s now in the short term it will be famous for the church of the actions of one particular President Donald Trump who is now infamously cleared the area around it in order to say that he could have a photo opportunity to clear the area around it by tear gassing and probably for a bribe of bullets not him personally obviously but the order went out for rubber bullets and tear gas against a fence for starters that was about this that was about a half an hour later this time yesterday half an hour before the coffee the curfew here in d. C. Is now officially underway at 7 minutes past 7 weve had an inkling of potential action there is now an 8 foot fence the white house is down because we should move over here a little bit. And has made foot fence. In some ways actually that for a sense of security because it was felt a little safer because we the police well caged in some ways away from us when they actually right next to us had to head face to face they have a tendency just to lash out at random moments and people got hurt so it was actually rather a safe but on a very peaceful protest a different day there is silence upon thousands little not just here but around washington d. C. Enraged by what they saw yesterday at about half an hour ago that we saw some of the police behind the fence or pepper spraying randomly as usual behind the front sight not stop was a concerning a concerning telling of what was going what might happen afterwards we dont know what will happen now we know that donald trump is. Well were hearing some shouting our tree down too was i we moved back a little bit we can hear shouting down that now. But theres not theres been a backwards. But we need a dont drink action constantly a federal authorities are now in charge of this this disc combining military National Guard that is policing policing in the us and the u. S. Capitol along with the russian Police Department which is arrested in charge of enforcing because a few thats still under the control of the man although it seems the federal government has been trying to get hold of control over the local police force but federal authorities now in charge of military units now on the streets of d. C. In the main National Guard were told were actually deployed around here but when they are from various reports that over a 1000 troops have been mobilized and have staged they say just outside the capital of various military about a military base outside the capital theyre able to be here with an were just sort of a. P. Report which says theyve been handed out rifles with bayonets with baronets. Thats all very concerning as well but we just wait to see what theyre going to do because because of trying times actions yesterday that thousands more on the streets today said they going to start clearing things up its going to be its going to be a rather rather interesting situation to say the least yes she had been and as were watching these pictures of the crowd getting noisy lets remind ourselves that President Trumps visit yesterday to send johns church sort of happened a 2nd time today in front of a catholic shrine accusations that the president s using the media and these religious shrines to create some kind of Political Campaign that. Weve been getting minimal information that he has been very worried about losing the evangelical base he really wants to show that up so research is it just john yesterday and now today. Always visit to a catholic trying to john paul the 2nd its fascinating though because remember there was a withering response from the episcopal alien church whose church this is over here this is a respected strong the archbishop of washington d. C. I find it baffling and reprehensible that only catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles which could lead to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. With harlan strong the archbishop the catholic archbishop here in d. C. As a result of that trip but as far as we understand at least as far as yesterdays visit went theyre not terribly happy it was having shakes troubles around us was weak we can hear that they thought it went terribly well they thought they got the fighter that they wanted and the job done box checked the base will be satisfied it is fascinating despite the opprobrium the shock the disgust that weve been hearing from so many others at the white house that visits to some joins us all as a success all right listen stay safe out there well will no doubt come back to a little bit later through the evening but stay safe. In washington d. C. Now in new york thousands are rallying near the Police Department headquarters demanding an end to Police Brutality that has the citys mayor extended the nighttime curfew until sunday but the state Governor Andrew Cuomo has criticized new york citys response to the protests and said the police havent done enough to stop looting and vandalism but most offer to send the National Guard to help restore order. The n. Y. P. D. And the mayor did not do their job last night i believe the. Second you have 38001 a. P. The people it is the largest Police Department in the United States of america you 30 a 1000 people and protect property. Use the Police Protect property and people look at the video it was a disgrace so that was the state Governor Andrew Cuomo but the citys mayor bill de blasio says deploying the National Guard would only heighten tensions we do not need nor do we think its wise for the National Guard to be in new york city nor any Armed Forces Im going to tell you why this is really important we have this hour right now if someone needs a History Lesson when outside armed forces go into communities no good comes of it all right lets talk to gary barlow is on the he joins us now from new york gabe so there seems to be this tension now between the Governor Andrew Cuomo on one side and the mayor bill de blasio on the other over what happened last night and President Trump hes been calling for the National Guard to be deployed in new york so how is all of this playing out. Thats right you know so its words you heard from andrew cuomo the governor he is not pleased with the rioting and looting that was widespread late last night here in new york city he although he says so far has not called in the National Guard but there is certainly tension between the mayor of this city and the governor and Business Owners here are preparing for this its important to point out that 9095 almost 100 percent of the protests are very peaceful but we are seeing chaotic scenes late into the evening so this is the scene now on 5th avenue and 58th street as crews right now start to board up some of the businesses here getting prepared for what potentially could be a difficult night in new york city now if you look on this this is spectacular that is the apple store Flagship Store on 5th avenue crews have been brought in not to put not not to put up. Wood but to put up steel plates. I dont have a good. Idea how you do it so youre going to you know youre going to stay out tonight whats your. What do you pride for tonight you. Know what are you out for tonight what do you what is journalist youre covering what you know well close thats what while you talk to me talk to me what i thought it was only it will close me like. That you. Know. All right so listen. Theres a lot of people out on the streets obviously sorry for that language you werent expecting that of course this is the scene 58 and 5th avenue here in new york city come this way drew if you pivot around real quickly theyre expecting many Protesters Thousands of them to be here. At this area in the next hour or so there are tens of thousands of protesters on the streets right now in new york city the curfew is about 45 minutes from now and thats trump tower about a block down in that direction lots of police here theyve blocked off the street as a matter of fact in about 45 minutes when the curfew goes into effect theyre actually going to prohibit all cars anywhere in new york city which is a very very rare rare thing indeed if you pan up here that is trump tower at the very top that is President Donald Trumps apartment where he lives when hes not in washington d. C. Again just a little bit of the scene here boarded up boarded up businesses as the people are preparing for whatever could happen tonight again tens of thousands of Peaceful Protesters on the streets right now were going to have to see what happens in about 45 minutes when the curfew goes into effect yeah and gave as you were saying there was some sporadic looting across midtown last night we know that people were arrested hopefully the curfew tonight will deter some protests from coming into midtown again. Yeah thats what theyre hoping i mean the curfew started at 11 pm last night its now 8 pm tonight so theyre trying to get the curfew earlier obviously that might complicate things because there are still people out and i dont know if a lot of the Peaceful Protesters are going to want to go home at 8 pm were going to find out pretty soon but clearly its the the new york Police Departments way and the mayors way of trying to get control of the situation earlier in the evening its important to point out though. That there has been very heavy handed tactics by n. Y. P. D. The last several nights year pepper spray Peaceful Protesters a couple of nights ago there was an incident of an n. Y. P. D. Vehicle driving up and almost driving through a group of Peaceful Protesters so a lot of people out on the street are saying listen we dont want vandalism but a lot of people sort of say i understand the anger because theyre out here protesting against Police Brutality and listen in some instances here in new york in the last 3 or 4 nights there has been Police Brutality against some protesters so listen its complicated as you can see from a few minutes ago when those gentlemen walked up on camera here people are not happy and its emotions are quite raw if i should say on the very tense streets of new york city all of this happening as the pandemic coronavirus pandemic is still very much here in new york city is still the epicenter of it and technically new york city is supposed to be still on lockdown because of coronavirus so you have 2 competing if you will a crisis if you will massive protests late night rioting in the midst of a once in 100 year pandemic here in the epicenter of new york city did it here so its going to be a lot of things happening all at one time all right well come back to a little bit later throughout the night an apologist for any profanity is from that gentleman who came up to gabe was the this is lived. And aversions as mike difficult to control but apologies for that all right lets head over now to the west coast where a curfew remains in place in los angeles which is seeing some unrest and looting over the past several days rob reynolds is live for us there now rob centrism is exactly where you on whats been happening on the streets around the. World there unearth the border of both hollywood and. In hollywood and you can see behind me the. Line of people marching in protests. Demanding
