Just yesterday we had a curfew installed here too but there was no police and no National Guard actually even close to be able or willing to enforce this and this has changed today conduct as you can see in this scene where my cameraman max forgan i had this encounter just a little bit of context 3 police cars had actually encircled another t.

Now you were at the protest yesterday and you tweeted very well attended and the speeches had a depth of fury i have never heard before this felt new does that mean the response to George Floyds death represents a kind of a turning point.

Up every and if you look at it from that perspective even though weve got coronavirus right now you could argue that the Police Killing of black people is actually a power no pandemic. Right and what at what is the significance of George Floyds death and all those in Police Custody half of people outside the u. S. For example here in germany or in britain where you are from it reminds us of the presence of black people at police hands is actually International Phenomenon you know in 2005 cory john adored the police so in that case there hasnt been resources for surely there was no independent voice to go should smartly culture very popular musician in britain was killed by police and fully explained and so whenever we see a black person die police hons it reminds of so we just got to pull them out and remind us unfortunate is a global phenomenon. What about you personally how has floyds death and the events unfolding been affecting you in. Im angry i watched the video watched the life being Churkin Floyd and i think this is the time for no compromise i think is the time no longer fit combined is the time dont want to congratulate people for turning out to these rallies the site will support black communities about actually challenging racism wherever they see it in the most intimate settings at the dinner tables in the what subgroups in the workplace is that both clubs wherever they find racism is to challenge racism when black people know in their the confrontational conversation that is now the work that has to be done to resolve this problem myself.
