The announcement of a high profile News Conference had many expecting criminal charges against the police but investigations take time and for many protesters after so many incidents like this across the u.

Police are using those weapons on nonlethal weapons like tear gas like rubber bullets and also stun gun type weapons in order to calm people down in minneapolis the National Guard has been called in to reinforce the Police Presence thats quite common i believe historically here in the u. S. We havent seen protests this big probably since the ferguson a shooting in st Louis Michael brown going about back about 6 years that was a real flashpoint in this movement of protest against Police Brutality against minorities and particularly black men and this feels like a reoccurrence of that only i would say much stronger and for the 1st time im hearing really widespread support from the White Community whether thats politicians or ordinary people for the 1st time more than ever it seems that could be a turning point where americans at large are saying this isnt a problem that minorities need to talk about or minorities need to protest against that something that all americans black white or whatever color need to get out and Say Something about and find a solution to whats going on in our society with the way police treat civilians their behinds is a form of Baltimore CityProsecutor Says the incident exposes flaws in the american justice system. Justice is supposed to be blind and justice is not supposed to work differently it is supposed to work the same way whether youre white whether youre black whether you latino whether youre Asian American it doesnt matter what color you are but the reality is it works quite differently and theres a lot of 2nd guessing always in the case is a Police Officer is when its a black victim thats involved its a 2nd guessing what more do we need well maybe there was something that we didnt see on the video its always looked at from the advantage of the perpetrator and not from the advantage of that from the point of view of the victim who was being choked to death for 10 minutes but just is not supposed to work like that is supposed to be justice for all and that includes black americans showing that black lives to matter in this country and i think back to the case of walter scott the africanamerican who was shot in the back 9 or 10 times as he was pulling away from Police Officers in South Carolina that officer was aggressive he was put on trial and had his 1st trial it was a hung jury which means a jury although they saw a video they saw in me and being shot in the back who was running away who was not a threat to the Police Officer the jury could not reach a verdict and that is what happens when i say there are 2 sides of justice in america so when any ordinary circumstance if you have a picture not even necessarily a video it would work that the person would be convicted of 1st degree murder for even less less than what we see on this video this video is outrageous and one of the other Police Officers who was of the 4 that the other 3 that were standing there he also had at least i believe 3 other he had 3 complaints against him and he was also still working one of the officers had a civil suit that was settled for Excessive Force that was settled by the city and he was still working i mean thats just the problem is that even though these officers were fired i hate to say this but these officers can likely go to a no other jurisdiction and start working again as Police Officers thats the whole irony of the whole thing they cannot work in minneapolis but they can work for another Police Department and that is what happens in some of the. U. S. President don trump has made his frustration with twitter official he signed an executive order aimed at stripping social media platforms of some Legal Protections specially if they remove or amend content on their sites it comes out to 2 of the president s tweets were labeled misleading chabris hansie reports from washington. Twitters placement of an exclamation mark and a suggestion that users get the facts about mail in voting after the president s unsubstantiated claims about the corruption of postal ballots have led to the executive order theres no president in American History for so small a number of corporations to control so large a sphere of Human Interaction therefore today abseiling executive order to protect it appalled the free speech rights of the American People however this is new crackdown instead there will be a review of section 230 of the Communications Decency act the prevents Internet Companies from being sued over content and hes calling for the federal Communications Commission trade commission and state attorneys to look at placing new rules on social Media Companies to control editing he says to protect free speech but the president does not have the Legal Authority to strike down section 230 and he may face resistance from the f. T. C. And f. C. C. Independent bodies that have been reluctant in the past to take on policing the internet it is talking about a review which implies a period of time its not clear how much of this is saber rattling right now theres things you can do with an executive order those things you cant do theyre probably litigation if they did try to do an executive order this is a nuanced complex issue republicans complain about censorship on social media platforms democrats like House Speaker nancy pelosi speaking about facebook on thursday complain there isnt enough both have threatened similar legislation our Business Model is to misrepresent the facts and to be a platform to do that and try to hide under freedom of speech which is of course a complete violation of everything and freedom of speech stands for both are also stepping into tricky territory about who decides what is acceptable and what isnt and the issue the framers of the constitution were clear about it should not be the government but should be the platforms themselves and i dont think facebook or. In general should be arbiters of truth i think thats kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of just citing what is or what is true and what isnt Civil Liberties advocates warn that private companies have their own commercial priorities and should not become gatekeepers of the truth facebook already censors content in consultation with governments around the world the company has been broken up so it does its utmost to keep local authorities happy and bipartisan support for doing just that has been growing if facebook and other platforms have less of a stranglehold over our daily discourse its argued limiting free speech on their sides may not be necessary she had her town see washington earlier my colleagues know how raman spoke to john malcolm the Vice President of the institute for Constitutional Government he asked them how all this will affect what trump says on social media. The president s position are on the vulnerabilities to Election Integrity created by mail in ballots is supported by many experts in this field and by adding a fact check to that it was for one purpose and one purpose only and that was to cast a doubt on what the president was paying over the president was saying that is a political opinion and you know the president i think was justifiable at least in that instance in being upset it was somebody who was trying to thought there or temper his message are on a on a legitimate issue of public concern i get i dont defend every tweet that the president sends out i dont agree with every tweet that the president sends out but that one was certainly perfectly reasonable and twitters fact check was designed to cast doubt on what is a very legitimate political ok well then why didnt its fact check the Joe Scarborough tweet that was what just over a week ago when donald trump questioned. This former legislator who is now a t. V. Show host talking about a murder that happened not a murder a death that happened in the office of Joe Scarborough of an interne who fell over banged her head had underlying heart problems that was all out in the open yet President Trump is now questioning this and even suggests that Joe Scarborough got away with murder why wasnt that fact checked why wasnt that to heated. You have task twitter why they chose to fact check something about mail in ballots and the threat that it poses to election said really rather than that tweet again people may like the president s tweets and they may support him for them or they might might find them offensive and choose to vote against him in the next election but that is not what twitter was all about and in fact they chose not some reason to fact check that one they chose to fact check one about mail in ballots which is far more controversial.

Lets bring in more now on those protests in minneapolis weve been talking about child jong is a reporter for the stasi tribune a joins us on skype from minneapolis good to have you with us 1st of all the fire still blazing on the situation on the street. The fires are still burning i did leave the scene a little bit ago for my own safety and we are coming back our reporters but when i saw the fires were still burning at the end she ran a 3rd precinct as far as i could see i didnt see queens entering the building were coming out any other windows or the top of the building earlier in the night but theres a fire in the parking lot of the Police Station and a business half a block away was involved and a block down through there and other businesses in cost as well how about the police the National Guard will sort of cluster of the taking all day on the scene. You know they have pulled back earlier in the evening i was at the same for about 8 hours earlier in the evening maybe 34 hours ago there were officers on that on the roof of that the Police Station and they were responding to protesters protesters were taunting them they threw Water Bottles and struck one of them and at some point the officers did deploy with called a flash bang grenade which was a loud noise it kind of light to scare people and then they deployed a lot of tear gas that sent people just streaming away. But then that night went on it was clear they had evacuated the building and there was no response to the fire we didnt see the oxs return to the scene or coming out of that building we had evacuated at that point as youre talking were looking at live pictures i should point out for our viewers and we can see clearly a very strong fossil blazing. Right that im wondering any sign of firefight. Not at the not at the Police Precinct or the business just a half a block away its too close or too many people thousands of people on the scene as far as you can see you know
