This story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. Greetings and salutation. The United States of america is on fire in the course of just over one weeks time thousands upon thousands of protesters have taken to the streets and city after city across the country from sea to shining sea to announce in one unified voice that black lives matter and that the violence and institutional racism of the u. S. Criminal Justice System and is now. The rebellion my friends has begun and i dont use that word lightly i dont use rebellion lightly and while this massive uprising may have begun on the streets of minneapolis with the murder of the 46 year old black man george floyd by 4 Minneapolis Police officers for the horrendous crime of supposedly buying cigarettes with a counterfeit 20. 00 bill no make no mistake that the spark that ignited this fire was actually lit centuries ago when the 1st african slave was forced to set foot on the american shores that marked the beginning of a 400 year struggle and fight for equality and the most basic of human rights and dignity that we are now seeing playing out on our streets today only difference being is that todays oppressors have a have exchanged their white hoods implantations for badges blue uniforms and the Prison Industrial Complex and while the United States now burns in the fires of a police state gone wild where oh where are my friends. Is our leadership were aware is our elected officials who is stepping up and calling for equality and justice for the masses as they fight against this police state who by the way are now lighting up residence after curfew for the simple crime of standing on their own porch. Leadership is certainly not coming from our good old brand name in chief one President Donald Trump who like the true chickenhawk he is on monday reportedly been raided the state leaders calling them weak and urged them to dominate protesters but yet when this want to be tough guy coward was confronted with over thousands and thousands of protesters at the gates of the white house rather than addressing the nation in an attempt to heal wounds and show any kind of true leadership and decency he turned off the porch lights and ran and hid in his basement. Yes my friends the white house went dark in our times of trouble which is me which means its time for us all to start watching the hawks. On a city street. That are so quick to see this as this joyce state see all these. Crazy sick displays systemic deceptions late show which were so please feel. Welcome of on the watching the hawks i robot and i dont be surprised. If the protest in the wake joist georgia for its murder ramped up across the u. S. The Nations Capital wasnt left on american flags cars and historical landmark. Were all set ablaze or defaced today marks the 3rd straight day of protests and civil unrest as the crowds keep getting worse and closer to the White House Party correspondent joins us live from the center of the action. A couple hours ago here weve been covering this all afternoon there was hundreds of protesters now theres at least a couple 1000 here that have gathered in front of the white house now i want to talk about the people on this side of the fence with me i have black white brown young people all standing together in unity and talking about making it making this protest a peaceful one we did have a little bit of a skirmish with a couple of the protesters going over the barricade taking and me were Police Actually sprayed them to get back behind the barricade but on the other side of this barricade i want you to take a look we have the d. C. And the park police that are in the front row behind them we have the state police and then behind that we have a full force of military police or the d. C. National guard that just came in moments ago where protesters actually booed them when they came in now this is widespread President Trump is calling on the state and local leaders to get tougher on protesters and this is kind of the way that hes doing it unloading on governors just hours ago calling them now after d. C. They are talking about a curfew that was put in place for 7 pm tonight which is in about an hour a lot of these protesters that i talked to said that theyre going to be staying here well over that now just an hour before last nights curfew that was actually at 11 pm you had multiple hires in the area that were started including at the historic St Johns Church right in the downtown where many u. S. President s have attended over the years you also had vandalism like what you see at the National Mall where at the Lincoln Memorial it was spray painted yellow not tired yet and at the world war 2 memorial it was written to black lives matter how again merit d. C. Mayor marion browser has called in the entire d. C. National guard which is made up of about 1700 soldiers to help control these protests about. Police arrested 18 people last night ranging from 18 to 34 and theyre also posting pictures on social media with images of people caught on security footage asking for the publics help to identify them now trucker earlier today did sit down and speak with attorney general bill barr who is actually expediting the george floyd investigation also again having a closed door Video Conference with state governors across the country just a few hours ago along with Law Enforcement and National Security officials who are there are proport from the inside that president john told him that they needed to step it up one actually quote coming out of the room from trump saying that its a movement if you dont put it down it will get worse and worse the only time its successful is when youre weak and most of you are weak trump also pointing out the Minneapolis Police departments 3rd precinct being burned a couple nights ago the city where the protests all began to talk has been very vocal on where he stands on this issue mainly saying that those that are rioting and looting and causing violence are members of anti for yesterday he doesnt need it and as a terrorist organization tweeting i dont see any indication that there were any white supremacist groups mixing in this is an anti anti for organization now again that curfew was actually extended tonight from 7 pm to 6 am and then again on tuesday now ive been here with protesters all afternoon i got to tell you everything has remained peaceful there has been a couple points are people have thrown stuff either eggs or Water Bottles of police over the barricades at other protests or is actually stepped in and said hey were not doing that were keeping this peaceful another thing is people are Walking Around giving each other water pizza and after theyre leaving theyre actually picking up their trash and moving along forward so again that curfew ending in about an hour many of these protesters saying though that there will be staying well after that for now reporting in front of the white house for you guys there and runs act for watching the hawks thank you for that. Well well well i dont think im wrong for referring to this as a rebellion. It has all of the energy over a 1000000000 it has years and you. Is a frustration that has been picked up because a lot of things that our government has done that have quite frankly negatively impacted the Africanamerican Community for generations now is the time that many want to see that type of revolutionary action that causes lasting change and it is interesting because right before we went on the air live to. Be released the autopsy results or the family released an independent autopsy results from the georgia border one of the absolutely so in stark contrast to the autopsy that would be out of the results that were originally given they found that the death was by expectation meaning that basically there was a cut off of oxygen and it was rendered due to the fact that the officer had his knee on georgia and that well thats interesting because and thats where the real heart of this problem is is that you have the state always saying one thing and always portraying one and when it comes to Police Violence in the media it kind of jumps right along with them but yet when youre there on the street and what were seeing in countless videos over and over and over again of something completely different and that to me is whats at the heart of these protests absolutely and in this case we saw a police thing into t. As well as the original autopsy report basically colluding with each other to show that they were to try to eradicate responsibility from this officer they allegedly and originally said that they are the cause of death was preexisting conditions they blamed it on him having high Blood Pressure they blamed it on him having some artery issues things that are actually very common in the Africanamerican Community none of which after the independent autopsy came out were things that were actually cited as his reason of death its truly incredible to kind of see that play out right before our very eyes that kind of duplicity when it comes to dealing with africanamerican issues and you understand where the protests are coming from but it is very quickly whats frightening to me is what people need to understand is you know they see looting they see things like the. To me the police have been the biggest agitators in this entire week and theyre the ones showing up dressed Like Star Wars villains theyre the ones pepper spraying the crowd theyre the one shooting rubber bullets very rarely we have seen it thank god but very rarely have we seen Police Actually step up and say no were going to walk with you know were going to take me with you rarely do we see that instead we see Police Acting like stormtroopers police have treated these protesters as aggressors from the beginning i think thats a very important thing to make clear we have seen such a stark contrast between the protest of africanamericans in this country and the protest of whites in this country just a few weeks ago we saw you know a bunch of white man with a k 47 is walking up to state capitals looking threatening him in a thing also pretty much popping off on a leopard leaders meeting in the face of the Police Officers and we did not see a call for violence against those protesters now when africanamericans decide to march to hold signs then we see a different type of Reaction Police automatically Aggressive Police shooting off their their their guns and their bullets seeing a lot of the gas being used on the population they think that you know this shows us that there is one population of people that have a right to protest in this country another population that needs to stay quiet thats exactly what the show. After days of protests and riots across the country many many of us suppose are looking for someone to blame for the violence because you know they cant they cant blame themselves they cant blame their own failed policies and lack of leadership you know we have to point fingers find someone to blame and twist in the countries that routinely receive the most harsh or some criticism from washington d. C. And their handling of for their handling of protests are now pointing out the hypocrisy here inside the United States are to use Rachel Blevins joins us now to discuss the details thank you rachel how are these countries and what countries are they and how are they responding to the protests being that were seeing here in the. Well china has been one of the most vocal countries and its interesting because just recently we see a protest in hong kong where the United States is cheering on the protesters encouraging them but also criticizing china for wanting to crackdown on those protests now when it comes to the protests that are happening here in the u. S. China is taking a different approach and we saw a spokesperson from Chinas Foreign Ministry speaking out and she took to twitter where she actually shared a broadcast from r. T. America which highlighted the contrast between how the tramp ministration referred to those who take part in the riots here in the u. S. As dogs and those who take part in riots in hong kong as heroes then irans foreign minister added to the mix also on twitter and responded by releasing a previous statement from the us where he made a few changes so that instead of claiming the people of iran are tired of the corruption and justice and incompetence from their leaders the statement targeted the u. S. Government inside the American People so its interesting to see 2 of the main countries that the u. S. Has always criticizing for cracking down on protesting now being able to point out the hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is something that the u. S. Has no. Rachel and we know that this this administration the Trump Administration doesnt like to take the blame or much of anything right now weve heard from them the blame game being played with various various entities around whose fault it is that people are in the streets protesting who do you hear the white house is to blame as well as other nation leaders it was interesting to see that both current and former officials seem to be wanting to point just about anybody else other than who is actually to blame and who the people in the streets are calling to hold accountable and this is something that weve seen specifically during a recent interview from former National Security advisor susan rice and she said quote based on my experience this is right out of the russian playbook we cannot allow the extremists the former actors to distract from the real problems we have in this country now current National Security adviser or. Robert obrian also backed up that statement and he said there right now the u. S. Is monitoring the online activities from china russia iran and even zimbabwe as to how theyre tied to the protest right now so its interesting to see that theyre trying to look at how other countries are playing a role in these protests and really amping them up and sort of looking at whats happening and going on here at home it was a years of racism throughout American History isnt enough to amplify and get black people in the streets but somehow these other nations are you know sporadically creating to serve measure didnt you realize a long time ago that russia is responsible for all of the racism in the United States that the United States government it was never once racist towards the book towards black folks in this country and theres no exam that that you know i know were a apparently involved way you know rachel thank you so much for that report craig great job thank you so much think.
