The fear is that perus hospitals are running out of oxygen for coronavirus patients the president orders plans to ramp up production. And france says its killed the leader of al qaeda in north africa in an operation in mali. A growing number of Us Police Departments are enforcing changes to their tactics in the wake of George Floyds death the city of minneapolis where he was killed is Burning Police chokeholds and will require officers who see colleagues using improper force to step in and stop them as well as banning chokeholds new york state plans to classify false race based calls to Emergency Services as a hate crime and california will stop training its officers to use a type of restraint that killed george floyd across this country we train techniques on strangleholds. That put peoples lives a risk now we can argue that these are used as exceptions but at the end of the day the carotid hold that literally is designed to stop peoples blood from flowing into their brain that has no place any longer in 21st century practices and policing well its in now from our banks whos from the Civil Rights Group and and he told my colleague 3 navigator he welcomed the planned ban on charcoals. Its a step in the right direction and its what weve been calling corpus so long now we just need at a federal level to where were banning chokeholds and we are are taken into account the real lived experiences of africanamerican black in this country im excited to hear that but we have a long way to go and its a step in the right direction how the last 10 days really dramatically shaped and changed the way americans view race in our country i know that we have video footage camera footage people are starting to wake up and take note but this is a very real lived experience of so many people in this country especially africanamerican Police Brutality and race and system that has put in place barriers for black people to move upward to move mobley upward in this country well to Us Police Officers who were filmed pushy in the elderly man to the ground in the city of buffalo have been suspended and while the governor of new york state has condemned the action all 57 officers in the police Court Challenge with crowd control have now resigned and they say their colleagues were simply executing orders my kind of business report. Thats around callous almost every day they tear up the Police Response that has evoked most concern apparently unprovoked baton charges. Just a mounted officer knocking a protester over the cause hes the. Police car driving into a group of demonstrators. And a 75 year old activist pushed to the ground hes been admitted to hospital in a serious condition and 2 officers have been suspended new yorks governor played the video at a briefing and compared his reaction to the way he felt during the pandemic sick to my stomach. It was the same feeling. Ive had for 90 of the past nights when i would get the death toll from the coronavirus i would physically get sick to my stomach. But on thursday new yorks mayor was booed at a memorial rally put george floyd the love right as new york police stand increasingly accused of using Excessive Force after the memorial carling protesters into a small space as observed by a journalist on the scene i mean assuming thats where a lot of. I described. He looked like he was chopping wood as you. And as in this video by an elected member of the new York City Council who spoken at the memorial earlier in the day i would rather see one of the fish. We must consider. We must make sure. That were in the city. Activists are adamant that this is not new its part of a systematic violent trend in Police Action that has been developing largely unfettered for decades we need to understand unfortunately in our country Police Officers are not looked at it as they say they are which is to protect and serve instead of kind of like an occupying and Hostile Force to our communities and were seeing now even as people are protesting say peacefully. From a montage of Violent Attacks from all parts of the country from new york in the east to Denver Colorado in the west. Unprovoked random senseless and costing a dock light on those who are supposed to serve my kind of washington. Lets take this on we can speak to bill fletcher whos a knight of his writer and executive editor of global african worker dot com he joins us via skype from Prince Georges County in maryland bill flett chair so we have a growing number of Police Departments now beginning to enforce change a long d way to go but it seems that the the voice of protest is having some effect yeah question about it i mean were at such an unusual moment and all of these things have come together that led to this explosion it wasnt just the killing floor it it was that this was the 3rd lynching in a row combined with a coded 1000 crisis combined with the economic collapse combined with an Environmental Crisis and all of these things gave rise the fertilizer situation and we had this explosion and now there is there is a kind of discussion we should have had years ago about the role of Law Enforcement in a Democratic Society so we have these initial stages of changing the way please make their arrests and stopping Police Chokeholds and retraining police in methods of arresting people what other specific areas do you think how much further do you think it needs to go and in what areas oh not much deeper much deeper we see one of the things that is critical to understand is that in the late 1960 s. When then president Richard Nixon launched his war against crime. The end of war against drugs the whole. Scheme of the war against. Increasingly led to the militarization of the Police Department so the Police Department wasnt even going paying the lip service to serve and protect it was increasingly becoming a paramilitary outfit and by the period or early 2000 that actually and slated into the federal government providing Police Departments with surplus military equipment when you have police that are armed like troops are provided with tanks heavy weapons except that is going to have an impact its going to accelerate an already authorized terry intensity within more forces and i think that thats what weve been seeing over the years so its not about just ending the show. And its about real public oversight its about demilitarizing the police its about changing the relationship between police and communities its about moving away from bad to choice sentencing. And and taking nonviolent offenses and handling them in a dramatically different way it in essence its really about trying to move in a direction of a Civilized Society and is it also about among some of the officers changing their psyche because there is this kind of brotherhood isnt that this kind of sense of club within the place it seems to me from the outside i mean take this example in buffalo where 2 Police Officers were filmed pushing that elderly man to the ground and now despite the governor your state condemning the action 57 of his colleagues their colleagues i should say resign from that particular part of the force. And im hoping that those that resigned find that they are never able to find employment again. And that they have plenty of time to reflect on their solidarity in the aftermath of this sort of behavior i mean look at the the you described and very well i would put it this way that there is an attitude within most Police Departments in the United States that is equivalent to that of mercenary units that is that there is as you said in brotherhood. And in some cases involving women sisterhood where they are protecting themselves and is see their role as protecting themselves and this is one of the things that ive caution people who are very critical correctly so of labor unions of police that. That the idea that if you will move in a Police Unions you have a fundamental change in culture misreads the situation entirely 1st of all im not opposed im not in favor of getting rid of unions under any circumstances but move toward me its the culture within Police Departments themselves that is highly authoritarian and highly militaristic and that is what has to be a challenge and that means that civilian oversight and the ability to take on criminal Police Behavior is a must. Bill fletcher great to get your perspective we appreciate thanks very much and the bill fletcher joining us there from mary my pleasure. Now i know a fellow commissioner Roger Goodell has apologized for the way the u. S. Football league handled the players protests against Police Brutality in 2016 Colin Kaepernick and others began kneeling before games while the National Anthem was played company quids fired from his team the San Francisco 49 ers hes never been hard since google says the league should have listened to black players concerns we the National Football league condemn racism in the systematic oppression of black people we the National Football league image we were wrong for not listening to n.

Im sorry and i will do better and i will be part of the solution and i am your ally. A kind of its Prime Minister has knowlton solidarity with protesters at and t. Racism rally i just in truth they made the gesture as a crowd its 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence the amount of time a Police Officer held his knee on George Floyds neck true to his being under pressure to condemn president trumps response to the protests in the United States. Well thousands of protesters in sydney are expected to defy a court order in support of the black lives matter movements in the United States and australia caught back on the planned rally citing concerns over coronavirus role in isis say that time and to go ahead with the protest to to start in a few hours time lets go live to our correspondent nick le gauge in sydney say the protest has been banned but the protesters plan to proceed anyway. Yeah thats right like many other parts of the world protests have been taking place in australia since the death of george floyd in the United States most of. Them have been relatively small but more than 10000 people have said that they would be attending this particular block live not a protest in sydney at the town hole but light on friday police decided to take that to the courts in a straight fight against going ahead saying that it would contravene covert 19 Health Orders the Prime Minister Scott Morrison has also been urging people to stay away from the protest saying math gatherings could lead to a spike in corona virus infections the court did rule in the way of the Police Banning the protest but there are reports right now saying that organizers are trying to appeal against that either why whatever happens many protesters have been saying that they will be defying the courts order and still demonstrating here in the coming hours not only to show support to the block lives Massive Campaign in the United States but to also raise awareness of aboriginal deaths in custody in. Indigenous australians are massively overrepresented in the prison system here they make up just to have a true percent of the population but some reports that they actually constitute up to 27 percent of people in prison which those numbers just dont stack up but in terms of protests they will be demonstrate sions happening right across the country from brisbane and adelaide and victoria in terms of sydney will just have to say what happens but police are out in force already their offices on different parts of the road but they have said that they will have to act accordingly if protesters do defy that court order to rosa because its not just a case of expressing solidarity with the protesters United States theyre all very serious concerns the people the protesters in australia wont touch at home. Absolutely it was only this week that we saw or a social media video come out of a white Police Officer arresting and aboriginal teenager and he was accused of using Excessive Force the family has asked for him to be charged and police have said that they have will be an internal investigation but many want to be an independent one so these are issues that people stand in solidarity with with whats happening in the United States but there are people saying that its happening here as well especially in the criminal Justice System with that representation of Indigenous People in prisons going through the Court Systems and its really an institutional problem and a generational one we saw the stolen generations families taken away and this Royal Commission into aboriginal deaths in custody happened in 1991 nearly 30 years life so we still havent had many of those recommendations implemented and there are reports that more than 400. 00 Indigenous People have died in custody since then so this is an issue that has been going on for decades in a strike and really has reignited as protests has been going on in the United States and other parts of the world right now or mcleod thanks for that Nicholas Gage there reporting from sydney a Police Brutality is also a concern south of the United States border in mexico there was ration is turned violent in the capital of protests is true rogues the us embassy in mexico city and tore down metal barriers outside Police Used Tear Gas to dispel the group.

Nor some use possums to smash Police Vehicles some Police Officers pick up whatever they can to fend off protesters one policeman had petal put over her and. The governor up to lets go state says video of lopezs arrest doesnt show the reality the media or maybe also the misleading way in which they made everyone and telescope believe that giovanni was arrested for not wearing a mask thats already been exposed by the Public Prosecutor and what happened today was the cherry on the cake it was the way in which they allowed a legitimate protest a protest for a cause to be infiltrated and turned violent. The government minister the human rights accuses the police of using Excessive Force saying its a clear violation of human rights and its condemning the offense which police use force the preventative measure is one of the. Protests have swelled across mexico in solidarity with George Floyds death in the United States but many mexicans are also dealing with that in issues with the police where they live human Rights Groups have collected years of evidence of Police Brutality torture and extrajudicial killings and protests isnt.
