Riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country. We will end it now. Today, i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets. Mayors and governors must establish and overwhelming Law Enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.

Until further notice. She says the decision was made based on a combination of the conditions and Law Enforcement intelligence. In an interview earlier in the day with abcs amy robach, she explained why she made the call for a curfew. If we do impose a curfew, its with the idea that historically, curfews have been used as tools of government oppression and racial bias. Mayor shaft went on to say police will be out in full force tonight focusing extra efforts on the violence. She praised peaceful protests like here in oakland on sunday. Cars were lined up for miles. The mayor reminded the community that the coronavirus shelter in place order is still in effect, as well. She is concerned recent protests could lead to another outbreak. Jamie foxx joined a peaceful protest on the steps of city in San Francisco today. No weapons formed against me reporter jamie foxx sang words from the bible to comfort the crowd here gathered at city hall. The actor and activist had been in minneapolis where he was calling for the arrest of the other three Police Officers who he says are complicit in George Floyds death. As im talking to my young kids, as im talking to my nephews, as im talking to my daughter trying to tell them how to act when theyre out there and they see a police officer, im sort of running out of things to tell them. Reporter they urged the crowd to participate in a nei kneelin. Reporter this form of protesting is being used more and more to call attention to racial inequality. I dont want to see one more black man die at the hands of Law Enforcement. Thats what this movement is about. Reporter foxx told the crowd gathered it was time to rise up against the systemic racism in this country. What i want to say about my hollywood friends, youve got to get out here. Youve got to come out here. You cant sit back and tweet. You cant text. Youve got to get out here. Reporter the organizers also reminded people that this was not a oneday only protest. But the beginning of a movement to push for change. In San Francisco, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. So you just heard from jamie foxx. I had a chance to talk with reverend amos brown and jamie foxx about their effort with the kneelin. Foxx explained what the root of these protests is all about. As black folks, to some of my people who are like wondering what we mean we we say black lives matter. You have to understand that were not asking for anything out of the ordinary. Were asking you to arrest someone who just killed somebody. Were asking that you use the same temperament that you use when the white kid was in the church. He sat down with the parishioners. He got up and began to murder those people. They apprehended him. So all were asking is, if weve done something wrong, put the cuffs on us, put us in the squad car. When i talk to Ahmaud Arberys father, he said why didnt they just beat my boy up, if theyve got to do something . Why couldnt they just beat him up . Why take my baby boy from me . Why take my son who is the brother of my oldest daughter who just got her masters degree and now her whole life is shattered. I know that ive been long winded on this, but thats because its sitting on our hearts, and we appreciate you giving us this opportunity to talk to the people unfiltered, because whatly tell you this, the evolution of the protests, i was there when it was rodney king. And this man, 64 years of it. So weve watched this. But what will i say what is encouraging is to see the white people, the hispanic people, the nonblacks out there. The mayor of San Francisco, it was 80 or almost 90 white. To see them pick it up. To see them understand. And my community where im from, i saw 2,000 white People Holding up signs that said black lives matter. This is different. Its a bigger step. Everybody is affected by it. He feels this time it is different. A coalition of labor and union groups held a catchall day of action in oakland today. The event dubbed the quote from covid19 to cops. The caravan made its way from the state building in downtown then made stops at the fruitvale b. A. R. T. Station and then the coliseum. I want to give you a live look now at castro valley. This is a live look over redwood road where you can see the protesters who are peaceful at this point, are in a standoff with police. We have seen these scenes play out many times throughout the weekend, as something was in the way for a moment there. But it appears to be a couple hundred people at the moment. Well keep an eye on this. The situation again in castro valley. The curfew in danville, it has been moved back. The curfew in danville at 8 00 p. M. Tonight. In walnut creek, police and Business Owners are trying to head off a repeat of yesterdays destructive looting. Do you have more . Yes, were monitoring washington, d. C. Right now. As you know, President Trump has just declared that he was going to mobilize the military in the wake of all these protests to kind of put it all down. Right now hes holding what appears to be i dont know if its the bible or the constitution. But hes standing out there in front of the protesters. He walked out of the white house and he has walked to lafayette park. Thats where a lot of people have been. He walked off white house grounds. I dont know if we have audio right now. Do we have audio . Can we hear what hes saying . Okay. Were going to work on getting that up. But he has been talking lets listen. All right. Were going to keep our eye on this. Its a very volatile situation. No thats st. Johns church, larry. Whats interesting is the president took a lot of criticism on twitter from some because there were reports that he was taken to a bunker while things were out of control outside in washington, d. C. So hes obviously making the point of being very visible and present. And you described this earlier of using force when necessary to try to control these riots. But obviously the president is trying to make a visual statement here, a statement of force. Uhhuh. And in front of st. Johns church, which as you know, is a historic church. Tat was damaged and burned in all this unrest. And he and his staff standing outthere right now, his press secretary next to him. We wonder if he will be making a statement. We understand that protesters have been out there and he had the National Guard remove them. Lets listen. Thank you very much, everybody. Were going to keep it nice and safe. Yeah. Its interesting to see, i wish we had a better shot of it, but just one camera of where he is in relation to all of the activity thats taking place outside the gates. There was some who wondered whether it was smart to come out of the white house given the volatility of the situation outside in washington, d. C. You mentioned the assembly of people and a barrage of rubber bullets and the gas that followed minutes before the president s address to the nation. Well continue to monitor this for you. Well move on back here to bay area local news. Lets talk about the situation in walnut creek. Police and Business Owners tried to head off the looting that happened yesterday. Today, a Huge Police Presence in walnut creek. Business owners getting ready just in case it should happen again. Laura anthony is live near the police station, and is there a protest going on right now . I can see the police behind you, laura. Reporter yeah, larry, there is actually. There is a Huge Police Presence here. It was about this time yesterday that things went sideways here in walnut creek. So far today, the mood, the reality here is much different. Lets show you whats going on behind me. You can see that line of police there in their gear, but at this point, theyre watching the demonstration thats really more of a rally going on here, very peaceful here in civic park. There are folks over there, we can hear them chanting. We would say about 1,000 people at this point. Theres chants and cheers. But no violence whatsoever at this point. Lets show you what happened a short time ago. That is a group of about 300 of these folks who showed up, marched through the downtown area. Its the same area that yesterday afternoon, we saw all of the looting. But today, very peaceful. That apparently was the wrong video. But yesterday it was very different scene. Today, we saw the protesters walking through downtown walnut creek. At different points we saw them ha shaking hands with the police. Still, Business Owners here and in the surrounding communities are take nothing chances. While some cleaned up, others beefed up their exteriors on the Broadway Plaza and other parts of town. The unusual activity comes one day after a group of looters descended on the highend shopling district sunday. Macys, the gap and others were among the stores vandalized. Theres always injustices going on, its just terrible. But theres other ways to get the message across lather than just come in to loot which is what they did. Reporter today, this family came down to Broadway Plaza with brooms in hand to try to clean up what the looters left behind. We understand why it happened. People get angry and we understand that, but we also know that it now needs to be cleaned up and we need to help the community. Reporter up the road on north main, two of the citys Car Dealerships were taking no chances, moving their entire inventory. Hundreds of vehicles off the lots at both the ford and honda stores. Streets around the area have been cordoned off, and a large contingent of police and emergency vehicles staged at the local library, in anticipation of what might come next. Five miles south in danville, Business Owners are boarding up their windows. We heard the same chatter. Reporter that includes aaron, the owner of danville cigar. We appreciate first aemtd rights and the right to protest. But thats just not necessary beyond that. Reporter were back live here. A live look at civic park in walnut creek. A big difference between yesterday at this time and today. First, the police presence. There are hundreds of officers here in town, not just from walnut creek, but contra costa sheriffs, martinez, all of them here today trying to show this unified force to these folks. But at this point, a very peaceful protest. Very different from yesterday, when it appeared, it was pretty much all about looting. Kristen, larry . All right. Laura, thank you so much. Lets hope it stays that way. This afternoon, Governor Newsom spoke about the protest and the looting. For those of you out there protesting, i want you to know you matter. And i want you to know i care. We care. And i dont want to just demonstrate that rhetorically. I want you to know that i have a unique responsibility to prove that to you. Not just to serve. Youve lost patience, so have i. You are right to feel wronged. You are right to feel the way you are feeling. And we collectively, society has a responsibility to you to be better and to do better. To those that want to exploit this moment, that want to flame the violence and fear, we hear you as well. But we dont have the same sensitivities as it relates to those that are trying to exercise their voice from a place of hurt and pain. When you try to cause pain on others, when youre out there to exploit conditions, not advance the cause of justice, that is not serving the greater good and we need to also call that out. The looting, the violence, the threats against fellow human beings, that has no place in this state and in this nation. Newsom says there are 4500 National Guard troops available to respond to city it is needed. And San Francisco mayor london breed has asked the governor to place the guard on stand by. Across the nation, well take you to some of the other protests taking place today in response to the killing of george floyd. Covid19 concerns. So many people out there protesting.

Liberty. Liberty. Today is the first day of june, as we enter the third month of our shelter in place. Weve now been under the order in the bay area for 77 days. But things are starting to slowly reopen. Thats coming up later this hour. As protests continue across the bay, its raising another question, could all of this congregating lead to a surge in covid19 cases . Stephanie sierra spoke with the director of public health. What are they most worried about at this point . Reporter it comes down to social distancing and wearing masks. Those two things dont happen, Scientists Say well see a spike in cases. The issue here is how to protest safely. Reporter this is dr. George rutherford, doctor of prevention and public health. His research on the spread of covid19 is recognized across the country. In light of recent protests, hes pivoting how he studies the spread of the virus. How to decrease your chances of becoming infected. Reporter there are three ways we could see a spike in covid cases. First being if masks arent worn properly. People arent talking, theyre yelling and shouting. Thats more forceful exheylation, so it cuts down on the efficiency of the mask. Reporter second, if crowds are not social distancing. Over the weekend, video of protests across the bay area clearly shows that isnt happening. Even the mayor of oakland admitted shes terrified of the virus spreading. People cannot afford to get sick. And many of the impacts last night were in the very neighborhood that have been disproportionately impacted. Reporter the third fear revolves around tear gas or pepper spray. People rub their eyes and thats one of the ways you can take it off the surface and inoculate it. Reporter the longer these protests continue, the greater the likelihood of a spike. Compliance is key. We need voluntary willingness to do the right thing. Reporter and right now, the law means mean your mask. If theyre not wearing masks, this will translate to higher numbers. Reporter the governor was asked about testing, and he referred to the website where you can enter your zip code and search for the closest testing site. We have that link at abc7news. Com.

As of last night, National Guard soldiers and airmen were activated in california and 22 other states as well as the district of columbia. According to the guard, nearly 17,000 members are helping to assist in stopping any civil unrest. As we heard about 30 minutes ago, President Trump is pushing those governors who have not yet activated the National Guard to do so. And he warned if they dont, hell step in and send in the u. S. Military and take whatever action is necessary to put an end to any violence thats taking place. As the protests do continue, the minneapolis medical examiner classified George Floyds death as a homicide, saying his heart stopped as police restrained him and compressed his neck. Today, three of the four officers involved in that case are still free men. Im not over here messing up my community. What are yall doing . Reporter a powerful moment this afternoon.

Derek chauvin, the officer arrested for his death, and three others involved who were fired but still walking free. We went to the protest yesterday at the capitol, and that was a good thing. Then we saw this on the news last night, and it was not a good thing. Its not what we want to represent. Reporter and instances of healing, too. Communities and cops coming together. Derek cauvins First Court Appearance is next monday. We also understand he is under suicide watch. We want to take you back out live to washington, d. C. , and this is another live look at protesters outside of the white house. This is a much calmer scene than we saw at 3 40 this afternoon, when police moved in to disperse a crowd, they used rubber bullets and flash bang canisters and people fled in all directions. This as i mentioned, much, much calmer than what we saw about an hour ago. Back to the bay area now, sky 7 over oakland tech and there are a lot of people out there, what appears to be a very peaceful protest. And were thankful to report on that. Youll see these all around the bay area. As we mentioned, kristen, the past few days, when nightfall hits, sometimes things change. But lets hope that it remains peaceful again. This is live above oakland tech. Larry, when i look at that, i hope theyre all wearing masks. You mentioned it in the break. For months we have been obsessed with trying to stay healthy. That went out the window this past weekend, because theres so much rage in the community. Stay safe, everybody. There are moments like this that give demonstrators hope for building bridges. Its a show of solidarity from nap ayes police chief. You can see him taking a knee with protesters. The Department Posted this image, saying we are with you. Abcs anchor david muir shows us other signs of hope. Reporter these are the images being shared across this country. The communities where officers said to the demonstrators, we are with you.

And we march not one ounce of damage, nobody is arrested. Nobody got hurt. Reporter the efforts to acknowledge the very real pain as that sheriff and others concede there is a lot of work ahead to heal and to make change. Businesses in San Franciscos china town already hit hard by the shelter in place, dealt another blow by looters. As diee dion lim shows us, theres a new reason the Asian American community is feeling marginalized. It was just unnecessary. It was heartbreaking that you have that kind of vandalism and that kind of disrespect for hardworking people. Reporter the vandalism shes referring to happened late saturday night into sunday morning. Jewelry shops and Small Businesses around her on grant street and other parts of china town vandalized and looted. They didnt only ransack their merchandise and jewelry and watches, they went in and broke everything. Reporter china town businesses have suffered double digit losses, as high as 90 . Not only from the shelter in place, but from the coronavirus discrimination. And online reporting center showing more than 2,000 attacks on asians since the pandemic began. Adding insult to injury, this comes at a time when Chinese Students are feeling attacked and excluded. Effective june 1, President Trump granted the secretary of state authority to revoke visas of more than 3,000 Chinese Students studying in the u. S. We see it as a second chinese exclusion. Again, were being scapegoated and targeted and blamed for the coronavirus. Reporter one of the ways the Chinatown Community is battling the hate and crime is through grassroots movements. This couple warned shop owners the day of the looting. You guys need to close up shop, go home. Reporter while more patrols have been added, merchants say witnesses and victims need to speak up. They see a crime, but they sort of dont want to get involved. So its not reported. Reporter and be proactive in order to make change. In San Francisco, dion lim, abc7 news. So given all thats happened, we have curfews in place across the bay area. Thats next. All right. Time now for the four at 4 00. Today we talked with our executive producer and host of cnns united shades of america. I asked him to talk about why everyone should care about whats happening in black america. The pastor at the way church in berkeley, california says white people have to understand that this sort of that the racism that affects black and brown people and people of color affects them, too. Because the society thats not just and equitable for everybody means that youre not getting the most out of the members of your society. And youre not the society is not as good as you want it to be. So if your society is not educating all the kids, and all the kids dont have a chance to engage fully in the future and make the future a better day. So for me, the ideas that white folks have to stop thinking about i should go out in the streets to help the black people, they should go out in the streets selfishly. Because if america is better for black folks, its better for me. This is truly the rising tide that lifts all boats. Its on us with those with privilege to use our privilege to help heighten the voices of the people who arent heard. A riot is the language of the unheard because enough people arent listening to the unheard. If we took their concerns seriously, there could not be the opportunity for a riot. We would only have riots when sports teams won. And we dont like seeing that happen either. But thats a different type of riot. If the warriors win another championship, that riot doesnt spread around the world. I thought that was really profound. Not just a sports championship type of riot, but really that this is not a zero sum game. Spencer, did that stand out to you, that if its better for one, its better for all. Absolutely. Yeah, exactly. Its not a new message, but apparently one that needs to be heard again. Martin luther king was saying 70 years ago, injustice against anyone is injustice against everyone. So the more the less tolerant we are as a society, discrimination against any group, the stronger the entire society is. You know, again, a simple message. But apparently one that needs to be drilled into our heads over and over again. Yeah. Clearly. Today on midday live, jobina fortson talked about how all these incidents over the years have affected her personally. This is interesting to listen to. I personally have not been able to fully process everything thats gone on and continuing to go on. But i will say that as someone that is a young black person in their 20s and has not witnessed the Civil Rights Movement and all these other things that you read about in the history books, it isbl all of this, and ive been compartmentalizing things for years. One of the first large stories i covered on in my earlier career, i was 21 covering freddie gray riots in baltimore, maryland, and seeing freddie gray, and he looks like my cousin. Or seeing george floyd and he looks like my uncle. Or Breonna Taylor and she looks like me. Or omar jiminez who works for cnn, and i think that is me. So these are selfreflections, and its deeply painful when you continue to tell stories about people that look like you and your family. I imagine you can relate to that. Yeah. And she just mentioned who look like you and your family. As a parent, im terrified for my daughter. The world that she is growing up in right now, what its going to be like, if i cant be there to protect her. Whats going to happen. And like jobina not fully processing things, it hits you, then it doesnt hit you, and you try not to think about it because you start to tear up. Its just this long process of trying to digest whats really happening. And why at this point in the world is it still happening . Thats right. The inability to protect each individual child. That was said so eloquently by atlantas mayor, as well. I cant protect you is is was saying. Its got to be the system. Got to change the system. Agreed. All right. Guys, we have seen an unprecedented response over the past 24 hours to the unrest over the weekend here in the bay area. And several cities, many have taken the step of issuing curfews. San francisco has a curfew that starts at 8 00 p. M. Until 5 00 a. M. And police will be out in full force. San joses curfew from 8 00 to 5 00 a. M. And scheduled to end june 7. Danville begins at 8 00 p. M. , lafayette at 9 00 p. M. We have a list of all the cities with curfews on abc7news. Com. Larry, your thoughts . Well, i think its unfortunate that we need curfews at all. But clearly at the moment, its probably best that we have them in place. Im hoping that this is just temporary and things calm down to the point where we can have a discussion rather than just, you know, two lines and people going at each other. But it seems like in the short term, this is necessary. And i just hope that we dont see more violence as people try yesterday we saw it in the afternoon in los angeles. You know, 4 00 came along and people dont want to leave. So its just hard to watch. Spencer, your thoughts on the curfew, positive, negative . Yeah, i dont know what to say about the curfew. I guess its necessary because of all the violence. Im just disturbed by the violence and the looting and the vandalism. Because thats not protests. Thats just criminal behavior. And it really detracts everyones attention from the message, the more Important Message about unequal treatment of color by Law Enforcement, which is a real problem. And when you Start Talking about that, and then riots erupt, and innocent small Business Owners have their propery destroyed, then people who need to hear that message about injustice have their attention diverted to this horrible display of criminal behavior. And i just would like to see it end. You have opportunists who are taking advantage of this situation, and clearly making things worse. These are Interesting Times during the middle of a pandemic. And people are advised to wear masks. And were seeing huge protests marching through the streets. Many wearing face coverings, but many not wearing them. In the past, thats something that might have been perceived as a group bent on starting trouble with the masks on. But with the virus, just about everyone is trying to keep potentially deadly disease from spreading. Social distancing, obviously thats not taking place when you have a mass of people like that. But kristen, we were talking about this earlier, how weve spent the past couple of months focused almost exclusively on coronavirus, and because of the inflammatory nature of the video that we saw, all of that, all of those concerns were immediately pushed aside. Thats right. But the two are not totally unrelated. Just like theres inequity in this country in other ways. The way covid19 has hit different communities, thats reflected as well. I read a lot of Scientists Saying theyre worried about a huge wave of infection of all the people being close to each other during the protest. I hope people go out there and try their best to be distanced. I know it and right now, is a time for action. So, for a second time were giving members a credit on their auto insurance.

I reached out today, like i said, and was told the company is monitoring the situation closely. And so they are adjusting routes and scaling back deliveries to ensure the safety of amazon employees. Targets website says only six of its stores are closed nationwide. Now, here in the bay area, the broadway store in oakland is officially closed. The only one officially closed. But stores throughout the region are reducing hours. Target wont say which stores. So i asked on facebook and i have heard from all over the bay area, i appreciate everyone getting in contact with me. Some stores have closed early. Were talking noon or 1 00. Sometimes 4 00 or 5 00. Others im told never opened today. Apple is also closing stores. A reported 11 bay area locations among them. Curfews throughout the nation are making it hard for Meal Delivery companies to operate in some areas. Uber eats, i just spoke with them. Uber eats and dash board are suspending some services with both of the companies saying they will honor local curfews and Driver Safety is most important. If you want to order a meal tonight, i would order early. And one final word here, if you want to go to target, you might want to check my Facebook Page before you do so. Were hearing from so many people updating each other. You cant call target. I never got an answer when i called a store. Thank you, michael.
