Im tired im tired of. Pain you feel when you watch Something Like that people of all backgrounds genders and races have come together to demand change on it him on a short and make the necessary changes they make Law Enforcement the solution and not the problem. In minneapolis where george floyd was killed the police chief is promising change he says hell withdraw from contract negotiations with the police union to push for reform by plan to bring in subject matter experience and advisors to conduct a thorough review of how the contract can be restructured to provide Greater Community transparency. And more flexibility for true reform but many protesters believe true reform can only come through a radical change defund the police has become a rallying cry protestors want to cut funding for the police in favor of other Community Based projects. Police have also come under fire for using heavy handed tactics against protesters after floyds death and there have been dozens of complaints of Police Targeting reporters in one such Incident Police fired rubber bullets at d w Steffen Siemens and crew. That found. The threat was this birth 6. Were made on your you are on the level of 6. The u. S. Has promised to investigate the allegations. And other have been concerns from some countries of their reporters having been treated in appropriately here you should know and those countries should know we will we will handle them in a completely appropriate way George Floyds killing has put police in the u. S. Under intense scrutiny floyd supporters hope that his death may finally lead to real change. Minneapolis police have announced what they are calling transformational reforms new stuff and simon sent this assessment thats a very big word for. As of now very very little steps that is for example that the choke hold is now illegal thats for example or something mr shelving did need on the on the neck of somebody that is now not allowed anymore as Police Practice and secondly any Police Officer who is witnessing this a colleague doing this has to interfere cannot just say hey not such a good idea but has to actively interfere and make the other officer stop doing what hes doing if hes doing this now however the big problem in the big question is here Police Unions you alluded to this in the piece theyre very very very powerful and the contracts between Police Officer and Police Department thats the point here this is where it really hits the rubber or the rubber hits the road where its going to be interesting because those contracts are so tight that you basically have no transparency and and then its really important for the community no accountability for Police Officers this is what the chief tries to change this is what Police Departments probably try to change all over the country. Response to growing calls to end Racial Injustice in the wake of George Floyds death nasca motor racing has banned the Confederate Flag the move comes just days after the only black driver on the bubble wallace hold on nascar to make the change for many of the flag is a symbol of racism and slavery in the u. S. Your association said the presence of Confederate Flags at its events runs contrary to its commitment to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment to all fans. Of the reporter stacy bivins joins me here in studio now stacy Racial Justice protests have reached the sporting world weve seen the n. F. L. And now nascar yeah its interesting because the Confederate Flag has become synonymous with nascar and its fair to say when i was going through social media that black america is actually really stunned by the decision to ban the flag because it has become so ingrained and i remember going to one race one time involving never to return because there are people wearing the Confederate Flag and waving the Confederate Flag and i just felt so uncomfortable that people felt like this was a way to celebrate and complete while completely ignoring what this flag needs to so many africanamericans which is enslavement and oppression and finds taking this right now well i think that bubble wallace has a very strong fan base and hes the one africanamerican racer who is a part of this and he decided to use his platform and the social Justice Justice movement now to make a change and so he has a lot of support he went on twitter saying no one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a nascar race it starts with the Confederate Flag get them out of here there is no place for them and so this is really. A movement and it means something now this doesnt mean that everybody is happy about it there will probably be some nascar fans that show up wearing their gear and expecting to get in and nascar hasnt said how they would handle that. President trump has been weighing is weighing in as well. Particularly defending confederate history or whats that about yes he seems to be a little bit tone deaf because around the world there have been people protesting needs of racist relics and tearing them down legally and illegally and part of the discussion in the United States is to. Remove the names of confederate generals from army bases a secretary general im sorry secretary of defense mark esper agreed to meet with people to discuss this on a bipartisan basis truck shut it down he got on to twitter saying that this is a Great American heritage and a history of winning victory in freedom while completely ignoring that the Confederate Army the the sad painful fact is that they were traitors and they were fighting to maintain slavery and they were fighting to rip the country apart and it just seems that hes really tone deaf on this issue he likes inject himself on these cultural matters because he feels like this will help general galvanize his base but hes seems to be completely ignoring the protesters who are demanding change and want more to do of the reporter Stacey Bivins thank you germanys foreign minister has warned israel that its plan to annex pause of the occupied west bank will violate International Law.
