Hello good afternoon you watch nasa international where shes called want to talk more sco protesters in the newly formed autonomy zone in seattle are considering their next move having seize control of the area after it was abandoned by Police President trump has threatened to send in beyond me if the local authorities fail to resolve the matter. Were not going to let this happen and if we have to go in were going to go and to go there is you going to do it but to go to do it hes got Great National guard troops to iraq you can do it but one way or the other its going to get done and these people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city our president wants to tell a story about domestic terrorists who have a radical agenda and are promoting a conspiracy and fitzs law and order initiatives its simply not true the threat to invade seattle to divide and incite violence in our city is not only unwelcome it would be illegal the capitol hill in was formed at the beginning of the week by black lives matter activists they barricaded themselves inside 6 blocks in the center of seattle and declared it a Police Free Zone and to this dizzy to load explains now what life is like inside the comedy. I am down here in the capitol hill autonomous zone also known as chaz and the mood here is come lately peaceful you can see it over here. Weve got people really get some food and over here we also have free pizza shrinks water all types of snacks weve got people handing out bags with masks and Hand Sanitizer literally everything you can think of and over here is the memorial that is set up to all of the people that weve lost or during the george floyd rebellion as theyre calling it thats what the the wall says of in there theres a good constant 24 hour vigil people can light candles and you know say their prayers see you know just just hang out this is the West Entrance to the capitol hill autonomous zone back there we have the the precincts which is where this is where most of the violence was inactive by the police for the last 2 nights the last week or so this is where most of the stuff happened and there are still 4 main barricade points and inside is the autonomous zone people are anticipating on staying as long as possible there have been several tents that have already been set up people are preparing to stay overnight main goal i would say that i could say right now is that people are they calling for the defunding of police you know nationwide weve seen this minneapolis city council. Already you know completely dishpan vote to disband the Minneapolis Police were calling for the same thing here in seattle were calling for a complete defunding of the police a completely allocation and to black and Brown Community is where its needed the most and so that is definitely a goal of people. I would say the number one. Great now. An activist there speaking from inside the commune now of black lives matter protests are continuing in other parts of the city too on friday thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets in the socalled silent protest rally came on the same day saying day a federal judge ordered police to temporarily stop using tear gas or pepper spray against the protests in seattle a protest rules are happening across other u. S. States too with the heart of u. S. Commerce no exception new york did see protesters come out peacefully to support the black lives Matter Movement the protests coincided with the womens empowerment march and ended with a joint platform in manhattan reportedly starting from trump tower people are saying hold on placards and chanting demand sperrys demands they included defend defunding the Police Justice for george floyd and a particular focus on the lives. Of a side from public support the black lives Matter Movement has the backing to with major u. S. Companies including Amazon Microsoft and starbucks however it does seem their actions arent speaking louder than their words ask taylor explains. 21st Century Companies live in fear of castle culture along tweed to i misjudged joe kony 20 hoss sentence in the court of Public Opinion so with black lies not to protests sweeping the globe every business is clamoring to say they are part of the fight the problem is they forgot to do a background check on themselves just phoned up starbucks is catering to the comfort of their racist customers by asking their stuff not to wear anything in support of black clothes matter so i wont be visiting them and theyll be telling everyone i know to boy called them as well that ban on b. L. M. Attire was late for a bus but it was too late because by then incensed activist had gotten a Pumpkin Spice latte fuel deep ties to the companys history and sure enough starbucks got schooled but its a low hypocrisy. Stop bots use a scoff at the 6 practiced by 80 year old slaves and what tomorrow kenyan costa rica and panama. Remember when they were lets talk about racism on the cops remember in the close to half a day because 2 black men were arrested for being black at a starbucks as we always thought they were only about black lives matter when its convenient lucky for starbucks so its not taking all that heat as other companies also suffer from selective memory fashion powerhouses i see Christian Prada tweeted how how sick and insulted they were by inequality and how they were companies with ethics which could be seen as false up the ties and given that if you google though you might stumble across words like child labor best rotation black face as the vocal obviously the most influential fashion magazine well now its promoting voices and brands in the black community which probably came as quite a surprise to the publication brazil director who recently celebrated her 50th birthday we didnt own problematic slave themed party the world of big tech is also massively promoting black lives matter not on to amazon then youll be welcomed by the movement banner and jeff bezos is publicly naming and shaming customers who send him mean emails because of the companys starts which would be a full proof plan to boost your popularity than to make another couple of 100000000. 00 if it wasnt for the fact that amazon makes a tidy sum from its dealings with the police it is opportunistic offenders on to use this moment to make empty and hypocritical statements when it is similar tenuously building the backbone for Many Police Departments across the country the company perpetually policy isnt acknowledges that are clearly targeting and harming black and brown communities added into the mix there are only 8. Of its managers in the u. S. A black and youll see why slapping a beard and that when your home page doesnt quite make the cut as a black woman i feel like it is time to ports theres a help us troubles Everyone Wants to join in and profit from us and what microsoft has started posting messages from its like employee east that if i dont runs out of material pretty quickly given the less than 5 percent of its entire what force its law so we get it look couple of pages here. That burn through the social media stunt the pundits will laugh it up and the books will stay balanced but it looks like they went to posted another where on instagram they forgot to put a padlock on that closet bursting with skeletons. Meanwhile in the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson has said it is shameful the statue of Winston Churchill has needs to be boarded up to protect it against activist. Youve got a situation in which the statue of Winston Churchill who is a National Hero has had to be boarded up for fear of violent attack and that to me is both absurd. And wrong you should not have a situation which people who are protesting or for one group one basis are violently attacking the police or public property the churchill strachey was encased in a protective box after protesters dogged he was a racist under his name last week churchill led the allies to victory in the 2nd world war but is now being accused of racism some comments he once made londons mayor this week ordered a review of all monuments and street names that praised people who might be willing to slavery and also racism the war on statues is sparked debate on whether it actually a raises the past we asked people in the capital for their views. Well just people are here to defend certain statues and i was supportive who defended it or you support people trying to take it down you know so i try to look at things from both perspectives theres a lot of good history behind it people dont like to talk about the badger sharee. One of the issues thats trying to be changed i didnt realize he was racist i didnt realize a lot of things hed done i never learned that i certainly would learn it from the stuff he outside i guess but i would. Pray he doesnt learn from the museum or the school which is actually still in School People should remember that it was a lot harder but. I dont think a lot of the statue should be taken down to gods or gold itself and bought it because i think it should be no business insulting for all the people who are living in the world would like to be the cd now over in the us House Speaker nancy pelosi is leading the fight against confederate statues on capitol hill she has even sent a letter to the joint committee on the library asking for them to be removed amid the nationwide demonstrations against racism can you imagine Jefferson DavisAlexander Stephens treason it treason against united know and this judge i feel because theres stage for him here and this does come at the Current Campaign in the country to take down symbols of the confederacy in Norfolk Virginia a statue of a confederate soldier has been removed after standing in its place for more than 100 years however officials have stated the decision to take it down was actually made out of safety concerns earlier in portsmouth a man suffered serious injuries after being hit by a statue that was toppled by demonstrators in total 4 statues have been beheaded in the city we discuss the war on monuments the host of r. T. Americas on contact show chris hedges. I think its important to remember what the historian carl becker wrote and that is that history is what the president chooses to remember about the past so Historical Monuments are an expression of power indication of who has power and thats the power to choose our history is remembered in public places. All of these confederate monuments the ones that you seen coming down mostly in the south of course. Were put up in the late 890 s. The early 20th century. To essential remind of black people during jim crow and the period of lynching. Of the power and celebration of White Supremacy and there was a very conscious effort to exclude figures. Not just in terms of black leadership or those such as not turner and others rose up to rebel against slavery but also white including generals who didnt. Support segregation White Supremacy or black rights movements have been famous across the u. S. Since 96061. 00 of the most controversial the black panthers started by monitoring culps and Challenging Police brutality we discussed the current rise of the black live Matter Movement along with current civil rights in america with the renowned political activist and also former black Panther Angela davies you can watch the interview in full here not a on monday but has a taste of what was said. I think the world is able to see that this certain nation is far from healthy that. Police departments are the most dramatic expression of Structural Racism that our prisons are full of black people and latinos that. We have to have an abolitionist imagination if we want to get into a future for our city i was standing nation and for the worlds. Well police in the u. S. Are becoming increasingly stigmatized amid the ongoing black lives matter protests a major in the toss a Police Department has been criticized for arguing that offices on specifically targeting African Americans and he says he has the thinking is to back up what hes saying he spoke with arties neil harvey. You had those isolated incidents where i was going to go incidents that occur and especially on body camera video theyre shown over and over again so i think the general public thinks thats happening all the time in the states we make 350000000 contacts year and obviously the fast majority of those are not in the instance of the curve we used force less than one percent of all arrestees but when that mistake happens you know were all healed thats going to rob went back and i would encourage your audience your the Washington PostPolice Shooting database and they come pahl the state of source you can go back and look and since 2015 if you want to look talk simply about the unarmed individual shot by Law Enforcement if you break it down between africanamerican and white its 3 percent unarmed white shot unarmed 2 percent and on what unarmed black so theyre very even numbers and you know its race isnt a factor generally those numbers should be even theres a real senior here in the states to actually talk about. And what ive been trying to say is weve got to be able to weve got to be able to we can at least talk about those facts its really hard to miss for a problem solve a piece of power and use of Excessive Force by police in the us who goes right back to the Civil Rights Movement has been going on for over 50 years. Can you understand why there are calls even like a Public Movement to defund the Police Forces do you think that that is the right direction to go in given that the problems have been around for so long isnt it time to try Something Different or is this the case of just making a bad situation worse if you if you start to defund thats a huge huge decision and youve got to really think about Law Enforcement in america is it well funded now i think were we have gone astray in american Law Enforcement speed tasked with doing things that we never had to do from the mentally ill that that system is broken so Law Enforcement stronger that we end up you know about 60 percent of the people unfortunately at this countrys are are mentally ill and force an awful she doesnt always know that on a sunny and so i actually like trying to stay on some programs of the Law Enforcement but to try to take some of that burden away from Law Enforcement what you cant do is you cant take funding from Law Enforcement and then asked Law Enforcement do the same exact work just to be very good but. Still to come this hour the same 100 medics have warned the thousands of protesters might be in danger of contracting i did 19 all because tank gas is helping its transmission from person to person will take a closer look in a couple of. You can go with yeah you. Are seeing is a utter divorce an utter split from the real economy and the Financial Lives funny money fed driven casino that is now taking over the globe this is causing to think the overlord class are becoming fabulously wealthy and the peasants are revolting theyve got a good Old Fashioned peasant revolt found america where that goal is not sure. But out again now there is concern that take ass could dramatically increase the spread of hiv 19 among protest is the issue has been highlighted in the open letter signed by almost 1300 Us Public Health and medical professionals and it comes amid the nationwide protests against racism that has been raging for 2 and a half weeks.
