Answered. In the last 2 weeks weve been witness to tear gas pepper spray but tons shields rubber bullets chemical balls piss boots yes even knees again unleashed on us citizen citizens and whats become an all too common sight on the evening new why in the last few days weve seen police in buffalo by only push a 75 year old man down to the ground with such sports that you could hear the crack of the mans skull on the concrete before he lay motionless bleeding from the air while they all walk by why. In denver we saw the police after they fire a chemical weapon at a car carrying a pregnant woman when confronted by her boyfriend the police opened fire with a hail of pepper ball shots on him and his pregnant girlfriend and the car why. Weve seen journalists legal observers and medics all targeted by Law Enforcement people people whose very job at a protest is to both documented and keep people safe are now being beaten arrested and shot by rubber bullets and pepper sprayed in the face why to keep the peace if that is the peace the Law Enforcement represents then let me ask you is that a piece worth keeping yes windows have been broken yes buildings have been burned innocent people have been hurt but is the destruction of commercial or private property by looters or rioters justification enough for the police or now even possibly the military to wage war on those brave enough in our society to take to the streets and march for equality in criminal Justice Reform let me tell you something thats only justified when a government is no longer of the people for the people and by the people and has descended into what is a very constitution and bill of rights protects against fascism. And fighting against that descent into fascism is why we are always watching the hawks. You want to go whats going on a cd. You want to see. There so you want to see this as this joyce state ill see you. Crazy displays systemic deception is the late show which. Brings up just as. Welcome everyone watching the entire row over and over and im the surprise. And joining us today to discuss the current state of the george weight black lives matter protest and Law Enforcement violent response to these protests from atlanta park a legal hoops arbor with the National Lawyers and here in washington d. C. Civil rights activist harry reid. Age id like to start with you you you felt the direct force of Law Enforcement versus protesters earlier this week of monday when in your job as a legal observer of the protest the Atlanta Police Department Arrested you 1st can you describe what a legal observers job at a protest is and why did the Atlanta Police attack and arrest you. And we started in 1068 we have been monitoring protests since 1980. 4 like black panthers in different groups it is our job to ensure their protesters are using their free speech and are not being impeded and constitutionally by Police Forces or in this case even the national guard. And what happened to you in the soros part of this all come about. Why i was with another legal observer who was also arrested and we were simply documenting people who have been arrested or people who may have been arrested we ask for their names and number they so we can say that you just support later. We you were targeted one of. The girls in green had no they took us away and the people we were monitoring were not even arrested they specifically targeted a stew and then they arrested him only for who are people who were with him that night they arrested its holding more than 50 people in the grandest of the prison bus in the middle of colgan 18 pandemic its. Wow. But yes its frightening to even think about in asia we know that there has been a lot of being during this protest event that we havent necessarily seen before specifically the treatment of people like yourself police normally dont arrest or pester don with legal observers or medics during protest why do you believe that now who is now being broken and what have been galatea of these attacks. I believe is being broken now the same day i was arrested there are some elana journal constitution reporters arrested so avidly these are the being broken specifically so that there is nobody to document the brutality of the radical east for specifically also nation why. Whats the reporter the goring whats the legal observers on the cops are free to do as a please and even. Seeing what they do on camera we see them arrest reports of cameras so what are they doing when the cameras are not the. Can be played in disability admitting the murder what is happening to the who on a street so i believe we are being targeted because they want to continue their actions telling without being. Parry youve been a target for your civil rights activism by Law Enforcement for many years what do you feel is motivating the rise in the violence of these attacks on protestors citizens journalists legal observers and now it seems that as we learned earlier today old white 75 year old man by Law Enforcement why is the violence rising amongst police. Well here we are at this point near 0 where the fear of losing power is the sole reason why weve seen such early resistance to calls for justice now the idea that americas traditional principles and values are rooted in the. Leadership and dumbbells of the entire court which say. We are getting exactly what we pay for or folk in 2015 say we want someone whos going to run his country like a business well we get in the business right now and then im pretty ill. I know that its most certainly isnt. And with the arrest of the 4 officers involved and the taking down a computer at statues the monuments across the Southern States there are many of the mainstream there now expecting to see these protests and marches in but thats not exactly going to be the case is it perry what are your thoughts. Here my hopes are that it because usually what happens and ive been on watching the hawks previously would lend ok. Michael brown was killed when the kwame brown was killed and we go to any steps to a Police Killing and those steps include the shock then we go to the outreach then the cold air in the west a geisha in which you easter. You know it with minnesota then we have that are to charge which we interchange in this case where charges were upgraded number 6 we have the cool by you are mormons and we had a lot during the by. Iris now with the police. We. Im amnesia time in. America as those who are on the who are not conservative in the illini we hope that we do not get collective. Its back to business as usual i want to do is were not going back to business if you measure i want to bring you back into this is what do you feel Going Forward you know what what is the case can be Going Forward and where do you see these marches and these protests going next. For war or hope that people continue to demand to defund the police and hope that we push tourist abolition of prisons ive hoped that the reformist policies that are starting to come out now do not get too much Energy Behind them and been seen celebrities repos things talked about being told when many departments are in banjul calls. In a chokehold and the n. Y. P. D. Deny that he was initial hole even though we saw the video so i do hope that people continue in the streets to demand for d n a police and then surely the abolishment of the Police Forces but i hope that the reformist policies from the neo liberals who are now on the streets i hope they dont subdue the protests i hope people can see to buy into it substantial change and major what do you think is going to help to bring about that change in terms of we know that protests are great in that they do bring about a lot of attention to issues that otherwise people naturally ignore but protests typically dont last for months at a time how do we continue to keep the feet to the fire how do we continue to keep people engaged in these issues that matter so much to changing our society. Who are what is important here in atlanta we have a great group called the peoples response atlanta which is a coalition of different races many of them ive let live it and they are trying to. Remote political education they are trying to integrate the demands of the protests with the demand of the pandemic such as the rich strike they want to bring people into organizations people hopefully across the nation their organizations in the streets people ringback who are trying to gain membership that we were supposed to do stuff and still have organize frett it gets the best system in the country so hopefully i hope that west protests over people are joining the organization theyre being politically educated so they know what is going on and how to spread the commission to their communities and i just hope that we find a way to direct energy especially outside of simply voting there are other ways to change our community outside of voting but we need to learn how to hope politicians responsible once they are in office because down here in atlanta we have to saddams shes doing a media run right now and the problem is that she was lesser of 2 evils vote and we have to figure out how do we hold that kind of person accountable so we have been given her demands for years. There was a mentally ill and a lesser he was an organizer is they with us ok so his family has been trying to balance to start an investigation and eventually get the charts but we hope that all of this injury is put into stuff like that put into organizations put into political education so that we continue the Movement Even if it is in the street and some of us hope it will be in the church it will be. Community meetings in city Hall Meetings where everybody can put this in energy and where this change i hope that we can see to do and i hope that people grab all. Are i couldnt agree with you more asian i want to say i want to thank you for the good work that youre doing out there in atlanta and put yourself on the line and on the front lines of this fight because i do believe it is at the end of the day a fight against oppressive government oppressive fascism and fascism and also of course where. As im at the end of a institutional racism thank you so much for coming on today i also want to thank perry red for coming on we did lose his feed halfway through but thank you both for your fight out there and keep up the great work. All right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the demand for the brand new portable t. V. App on all platforms now you do not have to wait to get it it is that there are so pick it up and check it out coming up we take an indepth look at how pregnancies and giving her a bit affected by the cold with 19 pandemic you would not want to miss this conversation stay tuned to watch. There was a period lets call it the uni polar you know period after the end of the cold war where the u. S. And nato countries and other people sort of wanted russia to become what they described as a normal country what they meant by normal was a country that was democratic by western standards that was capitalists now it was a member of u. S. Led International Rules based the water established by the u. S. I think a lot of people saw that as sort of criminate 2nd class status in the u. S. Led system and i think its pretty clear that russia in particular has been pushing back on that. This drug right ok were 4 bucks and just said. Everybody used. Cocaine you can smoke it this is worse like 1530. 20. 8 this is about a 15. 00 bad people smoke this one figures. You got these drugs in any city in the United States that you want. Want to get it. And make money. Its one of the every day. With protests raging coburg 19 seems to be an afterthought for many the world still looks different but signs of normalcy are slowly returning with one caveat expectant mothers pregnant women and their newborns are living in an alternate universe where coping 1000. 00 not only disrupted the Health Care System but place a significant strain on mothers and their newborns an estimated 160000000. 00 babies will be born during the time of Global Health crisis new mothers and newborns will be greeted by harsh reality for unicef that included global containment measures such as lock downs and kirk Health Centers overwhelmed supply and equipment shortages and lack of sufficient and skilled help workers including midwives. At a time where women should be happy about this next stage in expanding their families many are filled with fear and anxiety mothers around the world are faced with the delivering their children alone as guests are not permitted in the delivery room and visitors are banned from hospitals new moms are using Technology Like skype and zoom to share the precious moments with their partners and other family members. Some women are even turning to hold birth giving up on hospitals altogether out of the frustration over current conditions. Both wealthy and impoverished nations are dealing with the impact the code 19 in labor and delivery though do you think wealthy countries like the u. S. They would be better off if they arent in america precode black women suffer at the highest rates of Maternal Mortality rivaling Subsaharan Africa black mothers die at a rate of 3. 00 times that of white mothers and researchers suspect the combination of institutional racism and those within our Health Care System as a primary culprit here to tell us more about Maternal Health in the pandemic if they were billings director of the new morning foundation. Said there. I i am glad to be with you and can i say that im not with. Women elsewhere and. Thank you so much for the update thank you and you never we all have heard the anecdotal stories i know i have friends whove been pregnant and delivered during cold 19 bear bearing interestingly at this time especially not having visitors be allowed you know in the room what have you seen housings i. V. Brought on by coping 19 being mitigated or expectant mom. So i can draw on from personal experiences of. Women having a lot of fear around. Will they be able to be accompanied right through the pregnancy experience and bruising especially what will happen will be the needle to be united with their babies right away after here in South Carolina there are a number of initiatives during on reads from. Separating sort of higher risk women. Who are who remain. Who are experiencing who remain and separating them from other women who are not. Experiencing the virus so that there is that separation and the ability to made as normal as possible for pregnancy and birth furia. But that idea of needing to the fear that i wont be accompanying throughout the process is one that i think is really. Fueling a lot of women who look at other options for pregnant people in general to have the other option and i and id like to talk about some of those other options but well let me ask you what what are some of those other options because i know you know i think that it will border to look into what people are doing outside of their separated what what are some of those other options. Range so we did an analysis of social media. Over the last 6 months or the last 6 months in comparing the last few months and there are a lot of women who are looking more at. Home birth options and all those also. Birthing Center Options and thats been a really important option for women for a long time although most birds in the ninetys the place in hospital setting these other options have always been there and i think that this is the time pursued really be a reflection of what is possible and what can be possible as we move forward the one thing that the pandemic has done i think has forced all of us in Public Health and medical care to. To try things that without the pandemic we would have been told thats not possible you cant have prenatal care be a tele how you can have sort of home visits taking place in ways that they are now and one of the most important things that were trying to do in documents and really capture womens experiences in the voices of women in with the new alternatives is that saying this works we dont have to have the sort of very medical i. The model that weve had for such a long time and was and remains seen after lets say we have a vaccine because the theory is that some of these innovations that are keeping place that are being sort of experience in a positive way and are providing more open access to women for example telehealth. That we maintain or changes after the pandemic after the vaccine in cities right lets not go backwards theres a lot of talk about lets get back to normal and when you talk about your ignorance ian berthing we dont want to go back to that scene i mean as you said in the introduction the fact that africanamerican women die 3. 00 new around their region more than 3 times the rate of white women in the United States we dont want to go back to that thats the horrible place to be and so were seeing the same thing through these innovations. And we want to keep moving forward reserve. Stuff for and their medical staff are already underresourced in community the color particularly in prenatal care we all know with bible to healthy pregnancy and delivery but overnight he has changed that a bit because now people arent having their regular prenatal visits as scheduled as they would outside of the thought that this negatively impact the mother and the child. Absolutely and i mean the thing is i was looking at the c. D. C. The centers for Disease Control and prevention website. You know these are very general recommendation during the pandemic dont miss your communal hears and dont and as much easier said than done has als they even before the pandemic access to prenatal care is complicated for a lot of women lets take the example of women who are here who are undocumented. Because of their repressive laws that we have in the kind of immigration. Criminals. Those women oftentimes not only cannot act in north america they have a year of act. Right and so what are we doing to an eagle them to have acted with here. One of the most innovative models out there and i will say South Carolina is known for a lot of seeing a lot of negative things but we can say that we were the 1st states and really take the centering Christmas Program which is providing prenatal here in group its a whole model and we were the 1st state so we feel that throughout 8 using medicaid dollars and the fact that that is not right now because of the pandemic is really frustrating because we had a study published that show that. Needed. Reducing and eliminating that negative group out black women. Who are using their tickets to their service to the fact that thats on hold right now is. That is that and agree to. Something there is a group that does the very devastating i want we only got about a minute left so i just want to ask you you know where do you see moving forward have the biggest things that need to change in order to keep black mothers and other expectant mothers prior to covered night. What is what needs to change or what do you hope see that would make birthing for black mothers easier so we can get that rate down and stop putting stop keeping stop allowing people to be present when they go to the hospital. Why should we have a total rate revamping of the way which we deliver prenatal care delivery or birthing. Programs here in coeur great. Women in actively in fact here are used as human rights we are going to just as free market the owners with very. Very explicitly implicit violence and resist them with even help here weve got a bill going out as who registered here in South Carolina this and your question right now that makes increasing my training mandatory were healthier providers these are the kinds of issues that i think we often turn to medical and solutions you know more of is it more medical is easier and we have you know we dont need this actor who were asked not to blow stuff like deborah billings thank you so much for coming out of that educating our audience truly truly wonderful work thank you so much. You for having. Marijuana is probably the most overly police drug in america with the penalties for users resulting in the incarceration of community for generations but the medicinal use years of research and fake going for broke america long and frustrating battle with weed has taken a different turn they need to make money and by no better way to do it than legalizing the whats shown substance but it seems americans arent the only ones with a love with our ancient people and the kingdom of judah might have been among the 1st to light up researchers found that over 2700 years ago worshiper at the holy of holies tried in israel may have gotten high above the cloud.
