A likely announcement by President Trump against his controversial security law. And help for 2000000. 00 of spains poorest hit hard by the pandemic the government approves a plan for a minimum income. So then the Police Officer at the center of the raging controversy over the death of an black man george floyd in the u. S. City of minneapolis has been taken into custody there have been has been arrested it made it growing outrage following floyds death police have been trying to regain control as protests continue in the city and National Guard has been called in and the mayor has declared a 72 state of emergency or joining us now is us now at a journalist in minneapolis and allison so during the infamous one really in the cell phone video now in custody do you think thats going to help appease the situation on the streets. I can only imagine that it would. Im told that you know this came about because just 30 minutes ago or less than 30 minutes ago the governor had just finished giving a press conference and had told reporters to wait around that they had some additional moves and then efficient. Department of safety commissioner John Harrington came out and and and then gave the announcement that they had that they had arrested him he was actually i guess he had turned himself and the other really notable thing about this is that you know a couple of summers ago during when justin diamond was. When women officer that shot her there was a there was a back and forth between there was a lot of time between. That incident happening and then the arrest so this is pretty remarkable right of course that arguments will be a lot of them is saying that you know one is not enough they want all 4 in custody i havent heard any announcements made yet about whether all 4 are whether the other 3 are going to be taken into custody. Right ok so tell us more about the city in the sense youre getting in the city at the moment because youve been on the streets observing events and how things have been going you know the city well paint the picture for us whats the mood. So i went oh when i was last out and people were cleaning up work and blasts a lot of people were boarding up their windows along eastlake street so you know people are really to militia really angry and people are still really scared i was at the a corner of 29th and lake street just earlier and there was there was heavy minister of state patrol presence a woman was you know confronting them and and yelling at them that you know they were out here protect it you know that she expected the same kind of protection for her son you know her nephew that they were doing 2 businesses on mike street so definitely a sense of anger a sense of just walk in motion right now in the city have you seen anything like this in all the time that youve been. You know i was here a few years ago when germar clark was was shot over on the north side of minneapolis and there was protests over at that precinct but nothing like this and this is definitely a different feeling i think you can you just have you know people have you know you have to remember were in the middle of a pandemic you know where theres been over 100000 deaths related to covered 1000 here in the country people are feeling i think thats just added adds to the sense of. You know urgency and and and fear there and can you give a little bit more context about the depth of anger and just why it is that people are also outraged the truly outraged by whats going on. Well i was talking to an africanamerican a professor of africanamerican history on the street he was key guy he didnt give me his last name he was told he teaches at the university of minnesota and he reminded me that 1967 riots that happened in it or over on the north side im playing at ave so this city has a history of. You know racially charged conflicts which the police and people in the community and then like i just mentioned a few a few minutes ago you know there was the case of John Mark Karr this fall under castillo i think yeah i think that this is for a lot of people i think this is just the Tipping Point isnt something that they feel like something needs needs to be done thats what im hearing from a lot of people on the streets today or out of someone even there for the moment do appreciate your coverage on this this new era there in minneapolis thank you thank you so much. All right well the u. S. President donald trump is being accused of glorifying violence and inflaming racially charged protests across the United States that have been inspired by these events in minneapolis the president is trying to that when the looting starts the shootings dogs rhetorical as more. Riot police in minneapolis ready to confront a community that fails its been betrayed National Guard soldiers have also arrived in the city requested by a man whos under pressure to bring the violence under control this was a Police Station in flames on thursday night as anger directed at those who swear to protect and serve escalated. Not far away more burning shops looting and violence protests have spread across the United States in denver demonstrators echoed the demands for justice already heard in los angeles and new york anger over the treatment of africanamericans by the police is new but it is very wrong right now. In louisville kentucky the death of fluid has reopened old wounds with protesters demanding justice for an africanamerican woman who was shot dead by police 2 months ago. It is this video of the last moments of George Floyds life a Police Officer kneeling on his neck thats driving the outrage floyds family the citys man and National Politicians are calling for the officer to be charged with murder we did see a murder on t. V. And it wasnt selfdefense the f. B. I. Is promising a thorough investigation but it could take weeks for a prosecutor to decide on criminal charges and people here are impatient francis i am pleading i am pleading with individuals. To remain calm and to let us conduct this investigation President Trump called the protesters thugs and suggested National Guard soldiers shoot the lose his heels. They took aim at the citys democratic now donald trump knows nothing about the strength of minneapolis we are strong as hell is this a difficult time period yes but you better be damn sure that were going to get through this. The protests in georgia floyds name only quelling as more people in most cities feel justice in america is far from equal victoria gates and be out there well Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has addressed the states hes treated for calm and his promise that justice will be. I understand clearly there is no trust in many of our communities and the differentiation between the Minneapolis Police department that we witnessed losing trust of those theyre there to serve is very difficult for people to make for those standing up here with me i understand that and i will not patronize you as a white man without living those those lived experiences of how very difficult that is but im asking you to help us help us use humane way to get the streets to a place where we can restore the justice so that those that are expressing rage and anger and demanding justice are heard. Lets look now what President Trump has been tweeting about the protests and 1st warning the minneapolis method to get his act together as he put it and then writing that these thugs dishonoring the memory of george floyd and he wont let that happen a trump says he told the minnesota governor that the military is with him all the way any difficulty and we will assume control but he said when the looting starts the shooting starts and lets go live to our White House Correspondent kelly how kate and kimberly this phrase when the shooting starts when the looting starts the shooting starts its a statement with a particular resonance isnt it. Yeah its really a loaded and incendiary language that dates back more than 50 years to when the miami police chief in 1967 use those same words in reference to what he called a crackdown on slum hoodlum and its attributed to inflaming tensions in that city so the fact that the president has used these very same words a half century later is not being well received in fact the latest coming from president obama as he weighed in on twitter saying that essentially whats happening with regard to the president s tweets to whats happened to george floyd this shouldnt be normal in 2020 america falls on all of us trade a new normal in which the legacy of bigotry and an equal treatment no longer infects our institutions and our hearts as well joe biden who is the democratic presumptive nominee to face off against donald trump in november has also made a statement saying the state of racism has been here a long time we are a country with an open wound incendiary tweets dont help no nic we should point out that were watching the rose garden very carefully here at the white house because the u. S. President is expected to speak this centrally we believe that this is an announcement regarding china and the National Security law that has been adopted there in hong kong but what we expect is that that may be the focus of that but the questions from reporters will certainly be not just about the president s tweets but also his latest reactions on the situation in minneapolis including a tweet where he promised to call in the National Guard and i should point out that the one of the biggest civil rights organizations in the United States the a. C. L. U. Has responded to that saying that they are calling on the National Guard and Law Enforcement to not comply with the law or to comply with the law rather and not listen to donald trump so theres a lot that were watching for in this Upcoming Press conference. On a variety of topics including the latest from the u. S. President regarding the matter in minnesota but right here as in of course the rose garden we keep an eye on that will be there as soon as the president comes out and starts speaking to the press but its can be the time being thanks a lot. A t. V. Recruit reporting on the protests in minneapolis was arrested live on camera take a look at this you know my im under arrest or. Why why am i under arrest so is the c. N. N. Reporter emily human as he was showing demonstrates is being detained on t. V. And he along with the Production Team were schooled to do away by Police Despite offering to move to a different location he has since been released and he spoke to the network about his experience it did cross my mind that what is really happening here and the one thing that gave me a little bit of comfort was that it happened on live t. V. Theres been this you know when you talk within the community about lets just say whats happened with george floyd theres always a discussion that whats happening isnt new its being films and that speaks to the power of having something happen on camera because you can have people speak up for you without you saying anything and that gave me a little bit of comfort knowing that you guys saw what was happening i was living what was happening and the country was seeing what was happening unfold in real time right before their eyes you dont have to doubt my story its not filtered in any sort of way you saw it for your own eyes well its him from courtney raj whos the advocacy director for the committee to protect journalists and she says that journalists should be able to report freely without harassment or arrest. Were deeply shocked c. N. N. Reporter and his crew were arrested live on air and despite clearly identifying themselves as members of the press offering to comply with any police requests to move location and this is not acceptable in a democracy its not acceptable behavior by Law Enforcement and of course were concerned as weve recently reported in our latest report on the trunk administration the media about how this constant vilification and harassment of the process by President Trump and other political leaders vilifies them in creates a permissive environment where violence could become more likely and frankly sends a signal to Law Enforcement that hey you know c. N. N. Is trump has called them the enemy of the people the fact that they were not able to verify that they were media just seems ludicrous and light of the fact that they were Live Streaming it wouldnt take an hour or 2 you know they didnt need to handcuff them it wouldnt take an hour to verify they could have gone on c. N. N. And looked at the live stream and see themselves on television so that just does not ring true and i think that the fact that you heard the governor apologize clearly indicates that no this was not acceptable behavior and this should send a signal more broadly to Law Enforcement that they must protect the rights of journalists report freely and without fear of reprisal or harassment or arrest. Now a Washington Post investigation shows black people in the United States have more than twice as likely to be killed by police as white people chose floyds death is just the latest incident this year in march Brianna Taylor was shot 8 times by police as she lay in bed plainclothes officers entered her kentucky home in the middle of the night without warning this month a sudanese american man yes and mohammed was shot dead in georgia after several encounters with police advocates say he may have been suffering from Mental Health problems also in Georgia Police are accused of delaying the investigation into the killing of joe. Because one of the suspects has links to Law Enforcement when i was paid to waive his jones do even whos the president and chief executive of insight unlimited which is a Consulting Firm focusing on race gender and inclusion and i sort of by asking her about the history of these Police Killings this is a constant correct that we live under in this nation and its very much. Really understand that though we have built. And weve been a part of this nation progress for centuries that weve never been slowly given the free rights of citizenship to be able to navigate this nation using our personal space in the same way that our white our. There is nothing that anyone can tell me that were convinced me that a white man. In the way that this particular hammer happened and now. And certainly if it were. On a basketball that the murderers would still be free and thats where they are. Every time this happens people seem to say ok this is going to be the moment but the real change will come that we cannot take this anymore we cannot accept it and all the leaders say the right things. But it doesnt happen as we as weve already said but you think this time it could be a difference weve been saying there dozens of time or hundreds of times or 4000 times were really early on in black life clearly is he in america and there is not the same level of associated with the murder of black people in america then. Where other in particular was born a man. So so outraged and all people are definitely responding to the rage where we are not by our global rage. The bottom line is. The mission to do whats right moving forward now the President Trump is being accused of using every possible opportunity to move white voters as he faces a reelection this november and its not a Steve Clemons whos the host of aljazeera us weekly show the bottom line he joins us on skype from washington d. C. Steve welcome to the show. So it was interesting observing the president s actions throughout this over the last 3 days what do you make of it all. I think 100000 people have died in america from the coronavirus and the president its an election season and he is remarkably good at a politics of this traction and grievance and while there are a lot of people there are very frustrated with the way is it ministration has approached and handled and really delayed action early on on the coronavirus that you know as much as anything describes his return to a kind of nasty may shift nationalism and appealing to you know the worst side of. Some americans who are racist and who believe that they have been victims of the way of an Inclusive Society in america not those that have benefited from it so thats whats going on right now and he is blaming those those tensions because he thinks it helps him solidify and hold onto a base during this political season because you would think wouldnt you that this is a time when skilled leadership is required to dampen things down rather than the opposite and yet at the height of the troubles last night he tweeted this phrase this loaded phrase when the when the looting starts the shooting starts this is a definitive effort you think to to stir things up and push him toward success in november. Hes applauding violence and hes done similar kinds of gestures theyre more in you endo than then stated out right when we had armed people going into the capitol and in michigan where the governor was and he was basically applauding them in their actions their pursuit of liberty in his mind and i think that it is remarkable i interviewed a member of Congress Today wrote cotta on this and he said even Richard Nixon who was a very controversial leader in the United States really regretted the violence that he helped them reach a
