Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240712

You everywhere tell you had said and what not so thats another thing to get these on the show and even those in the industry think the new normal might be too much to handle restaurants are. Places where people come and be social and they enjoy their time so it really depends on like what would it look like afterwards would still be a place where people will be able to do that. At the moment i think what is needed to stress again is that the narrative needs to change so long as we keep on saying ill boyd all social contact where possible a social industry will never come out of this restaurants know how to keep you safe weve been doing that for years. Theres a bigger problem is again like the national timeout the needs to be addressed in order for our industry to move forward this the one were moving is i welcome step forward looking forward to see what following steps will will be taken in order for our industry to thrive again and welcome our customers and about. Just a small price to pay to get back to this new normality its businesses like these that depend so much on social interaction want to survive that the 1. 00 thing that everyone not just stuff but custom is to get used to this new slightly more antisocial way of life. Staying with the same international dont forget if you had a tall website on t. Dot com youll find lots more new stories that probably check out a lot of the videos spectacular footage from todays victory day parade that. Is fair to say many of the protesters on the streets of america social justice nominally speaking thats a positive message the problem is that the message is translated into concrete political demands and what it says if you dont agree with those. Greetings and sell you take we are now more than 20 days into our summer of rebellion here in the United States of america in the protesting in the streets still going strong from washington d. C. To seattle to atlanta the once voiceless are now proudly and forcefully uniting in one great voice rallying against a Law Enforcement criminal Justice System that is based solely on power money and violence President Trump showed us as much in todays rose garden briefing slash 2020 campaign stump speech when after Promising Police reforms by among other things giving Law Enforcement more money. He then randomly started talking about the economy. And what does that mean the stock market went through the roof these good numbers they drove it up to a level that were almost at the same level hard to believe were getting very close to the level we were before the pandemic and before all of the things that youve seen happen yeah you know because nothing nothing says Police Reform like master pretoria wall street bootlicking i mean what ive been reporting police a wall street meanwhile democratic candidate joe biden well. Actually as anyone even heard from joe at this point. You know. Because even remember hes running for president seriously but despite the failures of our corporate approved leadership on all levels its the protesters and the activists on the ground who are actually changing the world and helping us all into a better and Brighter Future since the tragic murder of george boyd on may 25th by the Minneapolis Police department the folks fighting for justice on the ground have not only been able to force the minnesota Justice System to arrest and charge the officers involved. They also gave a much deserved game of thrones style shaming to an out of this league young mayor and in a stunning turn were actually able to pressure the Minneapolis City Council to announce plans to disband its Police Department and invest in Community Based Public Safety programs following their calls to defend the police to defund the police so today my friends we honor the real warriors who are out there fighting for real change in this country as we start watching the hawks. Was going on a city street. There so you see see this is this joyce state. Rice great city displays systemic dissent says so but shes. So please tell us. Whats going on watching the hawks i am tyro been there and joining us today is civil rights attorney and kima levy armstrong who has been on the front lines in the battle for equality in Police Accountability since those tragic 8 minutes back on may 25th welcome the came and thank you for coming on the day. Think. Mickey mouse i say youve been one youve been in this fight for equality of accountability in minneapolis since long even long before the tragic murder george floyd are indeed the wheels of change finally moving faster in minnesota than weve seen in years past. Well in 3rd week in that way your demand for war or outright protests that came on we will track you yet for 4 or 8 years at the Minneapolis Police department were seeing a lot more people taking to the streets quite a number of young folks who are raising their voices and who have persistently been challenging in justice for the last 20 plus days so its great to see you and i hope that it continues until we shift this whole system because as we say in the streets the whole damn system is guilty of. I couldnt agree to more but i could not agree with you more and became that weve seen all of the weve seen protesters who have shouted down the mayor of minneapolis recently what do you think is the significance of minneapolis the City Councils decision to call for the disbanding of the Police Department and what are activists on the ground calling for to put in its place. Well just to set the record straight our Minneapolis City Council. Has not been active in terms of Holding Police accountable for the last several years i have been one of the folks calling them out along with other activists for trying to pander to different groups of people and not even having the Legal Authority to disband the Minneapolis Police department nor to do fund it at this point and so because weve been calling them out and saying listen you have to do the real boots on the ground work the heavy lifting you have to learn about these issues and you have to get serious about Holding Police accountable they have walked back a lot of the comments that they made publicly that grabbed a lot of headlines and got a lot of peoples hopes up and were and some of them were calling for them to be ousted in the next election as a matter of fact because we have gone to city hall so many times demanding that they hold Police Accountable they have failed to do so and now that there is a global outcry were seeing them pretend to become more involved but its really empty at this point until we actually see some results that truly is heartbreaking because you know nothing is worse than a politician who gets on t. V. And says what the people want to hear and then behind closed doors as oh no im sorry i cant hear you but on the ground like i said since the beginning since long before news cameras and twitter feeds ive even focused on the streets of south minneapolis sort of at a sort of large what do you feel has been the biggest misrepresentation in the last 20 some odd days of the minneapolis protesters and activists like yourself who are fighting so hard for change. Were were were doing started burning and stores started to be looted we had a lot of our media here trying to tie. Activists to those types of demonstrations that were happening but our demonstrations have largely been peaceful for the last 5 plus years the reality is that we warned elected officials that we were in a combustible situation in the city of minneapolis because of their failed its a whole Police Accountable and because of the consistent economic injustice that africanamericans experience they have known about these problems they didnt take it seriously and finally things just exploded so none of us condone the buildings burning in the things that happen but thats what it is taken to gain the attention of the governor the mayor City Council Members and legislators to actually begin to take these issues seriously. And became a you know youve been in this new men Movement Like this for a long time just as much as people are excited to see a movement take waves and get this type of national and International Attention there are people on the other side who also want to see it and soon after a few reforms are passed in some of the statues of historical races or topple prone down do you think that the fighting has need to go deeper are or are some of these moves correct and where do the protests go next whats the next change activists are calling for. Where we are purses and calling for killer cops to be removed from the force were persistent in calling for cops with a history of Excessive Force to be removed from the police force as well were calling for the removal of the head of the Minneapolis Police Federation Bob Kroll because of his own violent history as a Police Officer but also the fact that he is often called killer cops or roic in the public eye is which is just completely. Unacceptable so were going to continue to demand those changes at the local level were also pushing our State Government to take action and to form an independent body that investigates Police Murder cases and that also has an independent special prosecutorial unit and right now theres a push back at the legislature to have those cases be reviewed by the attorney general for the state of minnesota but we dont want someone who is cozy with the system to investigate Police Murder cases we need a completely independent body and one that allows for some public oversight in input into how things play out i want to ask you to you know when we look back at the beginning of what black lives matter coming out well youve even before ferguson but you know really kind of you know catching major headlines after you know the killing of Michael Brown and eric garner and you know a few years back what do you feel has been the biggest difference between the push and then for justice and what were seeing this summer. Well we know that a lot more people are informed as a result of the uprisings that happened in ferguson and just the fact that we have been persistent in terms of getting our message out whether its popular or not whether we have a crowd of 500 versus 50 people in the streets were still out there advocating but i think with the Global Pandemic that were all experiencing and having a shelter in place it forced people to Pay Attention when they saw the brutal killing of george floyd on video and i think that just all of that frustration and that anger and that outrage at our government at the fact that no meaningful steps have been taken to address Police Violence just cause people to take to the streets in mass and support and are held in jeopardy really to go out and and and advocate for justice but that is what needed to happen and were glad that folks in off the 50 states actually got involved in demonstrating which i dont think has ever happened before not so mentions so many folks around the world who are pushing for justice for george floyd and are stolen lives that is unprecedented as far as we can tell and it just motivates us to keep fighting for justice until we see the entire system shift and until there is an overhaul of our system of policing as we know it in so many of our communities we need Mental Health services we need social services we need jobs we dont need to continue investing so much money in our Police Forces and it came out when movements like this happen folks on the outside are always asking where is the leader we know that this this movement has taken shape across multiple states as you mentioned its also taken shape globally what would you say is the mode of success that youve seen despite the fact that a lot of people would argue that this is a leaderless group. Well i think that there are a lot. Of different leaders i think that it is actually a mis representation of the movement when people say that theres no single leader there doesnt have to be one single leader in order for a movement to be affective i think that part of the strength of the movement is that we have leaders from all walks of life particularly black leadership thats multigenerational thats out on the front line standing up for justice along with allies along with nonblack allies as well who are you know using their voices to fight for change and fight for justice we also know historically when there has been one leader that folks can pinpoint those leaders have been assassinated like Dr Martin Luther King Jr like malcolm x. You know the list goes on and on and so i think the folks are saying listen all of us can be leaders all of us can step up to the plate all of us can demand justice and i appreciate that became i just want to tell you and you know for someone who grew up in minnesota as a native there i just want to say you know what all this went down im seeing the good work that youve been doing out there on the streets in the last 20 some odd theres i just cant tell you how proud i am and how honored i am to have you on the show today on and thank you so much for the good work that youre doing out there and making this change happen. And more for your court and it will. Not rightful for all of the people whove been out there thousands of people on the front lines 20 days straight fighting for justice always a pleasure having you on the kimmel every armstrong civil rights attorney keep up the great work and.

Were living in historic times black people in america are sick and tired of being sick and tired of being choked out by a nation that continues to offer oppression under the guise of democracy the murder of an unarmed black man george floyd sparked nationwide protests that received Global Support black lives matter took center stage organizing protests from coast to coast spreading awareness on social media and amplifying the voices of those on the ground crying out for into Police Brutality and White Supremacy employees of tech giants like apple google and microsoft raised over 4000000. 00 for the black lives Matter Foundation noble enough movements need a salient message manpower energy and yes funds but what is the black lives Matter Foundation your guess is as good as money this week the cap blew off of this shadow group that has no affiliation with black lives matter whatsoever the black lies Matter Foundation is actually located in Santa Clarita california it has one paid employee and list a u.
