But i want to know that overall even in a day where thousands of people were out expressing their views expressing their frustration their pain their anger and their deep desire for change in locations all over the city overall what we saw was overwhelmingly peaceful demonstration. And speak once again to officers kristen salumi whos live for us you know what else to blowsy i have to say. Well i think you captured the tone of his speech right there attempting to paint the overwhelming majority of the protests as peaceful and the conduct of the police overwhelmingly as restrained however he can escape some of the videos that have been circulating out there like the one about the police cars driving into a crowd of demonstrators shots of Police Officers pushing down protesters while these may be in the minority those are what people are talking about and pointing to as examples of what people of color face in this country on a regular basis the president mayor of the city did promise to investigate those incidents he said its Never Acceptable to drive into a crowd of people however he said that these are tough situations and overwhelmingly again he put his support behind the Police Walking a fine line facing backlash from his own Police Department but overwhelmingly these calls from the City Residents and the nation to do more to address these issues and to that effect he talked about faster forms of justice for Police Officers who are accused of wrongdoing quicker investigations the need for that and also repealing some laws that protect the records of Police Officers who have records of misconduct in the past or been accused in the past he said this would go a long way to restoring faith but today however talking focusing on the peaceful aspects of what was happening also having to answer for protesters though there was some looting in Lower Manhattan last night so the protesters got violent as well so we had harsh words for the protesters who broke the law as well and said they will be investigated and dealt with as well monday morning in new york city the working week getting underway. A whats the mood right now. Well i think the city remains tense the city remains under lockdown if you will because of the coronavirus most people are still working from home except for essential services so people have a lot of time to watch the news or go out and demonstrate if theyve lost a job and have no place to go for work i think a lot of that frustration is fueling the rage that were seeing on the street given that the pandemic has overwhelmingly impacted people of color in this country theyre feeling under attack from Health Issues as well as from police all of that just adds to the kind of feeling of tension and that things just arent normal or the same here in new york and as i said a lot of time for people to sit and reflect on this given that were all staying home down to 0 as Kristen Kristen salumi reporting live from new york chris many thanks indeed police in portland in the west coast state of oregon were involved in a standoff with protesters they used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse crowds files willetts and some tried to break Police Barricades portland is among the cities that imposed overnight fuz jay gray is just a few blocks from where the floyds arrest happened in minneapolis its also where the violence began destroying parts of that neighborhood. And i want to show you how intense that fire was firsthand you can see it has gutted the buildings here and there are scenes like this that play out not only in this neighborhood where just a week ago to the day george floyd was killed but also across the city that are just devastated you can see the flames leaping up here 4 stories and really taking everything that they could swallow here and then as you move along you can see just the entire property in fact we were moved earlier we were only other side city teams are out and surveying things trying to start to pull things together and move some of this debris out they said this building was too close to falling down they wanted us to get away from that side of the building because of the lack of safety with the structure look the protests have continued to from the night that floyd was killed here what changed overnight though was the intensity as far as violence damage like this and just the interactions with police it was much color here thankfully lets hear now from one to 0 as mike hanna is in washington d. C. He reports on the protests there and moves to crack down on the far left group. Protesters once again gathered in the vicinity of the white house kept a distance away by layers of police and secret service offices. Invoking the name of the man whos dead that spot these nationwide protests. The president chose to assign responsibility for the violence that broke out in the past 24 hours singling out the predominantly left wing and concession movement known as anti fire. The United States he tweeted will be designated as a terrorist organization the problem is that there is no u. S. Law that would allow a group to be designated in this way and the American Civil Liberties union was quick to point out that any attempt to do so would raise concerns about the constitutional right to free speech adding that a terrorist is an inherently political label that is easily abused and misused the attorney general subsequently clarified that the joint Terrorism Task force would investigate the violence focusing on whether any group including active was responsible and washingtons mayor called on the president to temper the tone of his tweets i think that the president has a role to play nationally in calming. The the i rest that we see in cities across america and i think at the least he has to not incite violence and thats what we would expect president ial candidate joe biden visited a protest site wearing a mask he talked to demonstrators and then release this tweet urging the need to listen and whether intentionally or not including a picture of himself taking a knee in the manner of athletes in recent years protesting Police Brutality. There were some isolated incidents of unrest particularly in philadelphia where a building was set alight and arrests were made. As the demonstrations continued into the night there were once again outbreaks of violence in various cities. Plains a few blocks away from the white house in what police described as renewed vandalism. Furthermore what had been a day of largely peaceful protests. Washington experience White House Correspondent kimberly. Commute is going to be a White House Press briefing in a couple of hours the president there already has been pretty active on twitter today. The u. S. President continuing to push the narrative that the these violent protests across the United States have been organized by the left leaning group that is militantly opposed to right wing ideology and tea of course we dont really know if this is a well organized group in fact to the contrary many experts saying its very loosely organized so that leaves many scratching their heads about how the Justice Department intends to pursue these under the lens of domestic terrorism any potential charges against this group now in the midst of all of this the u. S. President also pushing back that on the suggestion that right leaning groups White Supremacists or White National groups may also be participating in these protests now the u. S. President has already met with the top lawyer in the United States william bar hes now having a Video Conference with the nations mayors on how to keep the city safe were not sure if the u. S. President will address this at the 800 g. M. T. Press briefing he did have a speech on saturday evening with regard to this of course so much has happened since then many look to the u. S. President at this time as traditionally it is their role to try and restore calm but so far the argument is that the u. S. President has done just the opposite that his words have ignited many of the frustrations and anger into that and we should point out that former president barack obama has just published an open letter on the blogging platform medium doing what many say the current u. S. President should be doing and that is trying to restore calm he spoke on this blog saying that he acknowledged that there is legitimate frustration by the protesters with the failure over decades to reform criminal justice in the United States but he also said violence is not the answer any particularly challenge young people noting that the greatest impact on reforming criminal justice in the United States. It doesnt happen at the white house behind me but it happens at the state and the local level Police Chiefs district attorneys for example and that is where we know according to polls that young voter turnout is in the words of president obama pitifully low so he is now challenging young people kind of expansion on his statement from 4 years ago at the Democratic National convention another Election Year dont believe you vote now what hes saying to young people is the way to be engaged is not violets but voting on a series White House Correspondent kimberly reporting live from washington many thanks indeed to complete its brigand weapons and would buns whos also in washington d. C. Hes an assistant professor at Harvard Universitys department of Political Science good to have you with us because we dont know yet whether the president himself is going to speak at this press briefing at 18 g. M. T. Atlantas meadows says that the president s rhetoric is not helping should he speak to the nation right now given his history. The president doesnt have many incentives to try to unite the nation right now donald trump essentially in his tweets has played to his Republican Base is made simple tweets calling for a law and order hes argued to risk weeks that when the shooting starts the looting starts and displays to republicans who support strong policing measures against what they see as illegitimate protests but this is unlikely to appeal to democrats particularly as we see partition partisanship increasing in the United States the president has very few abilities to get democrats over to his side and because there are relatively few structural incentives for him to try to bridge the gap between the left and the right in america it seems unlikely that he would be able to deliver or have any reason to deliver a unity message through a National Speech is whats going on in the u. S. At the moment damaging the president s Political Support i mean what state is it compared to what it was when he was elected in 2016 in these any any of this effect and what hes saying right now where hes going his ad spend. The president s support has been pretty stable and overall relatively low he has never had more than 50 percent Approval Rating nationally in aggregate polls since he was inaugurated almost 4 years ago 3 and a half years ago what we have seen consistently is that his Approval Rating has remained in the low fortys he got a small bomb at the beginning of the Pandemic Response this is called a rally around the flag bump and what we saw from rally around the flag bump was a slightly lower increase than we saw in other countries and eventually that disappeared too but century whats happening is that trump has a small group of very hard core supporters in the Republican Party who will stand with him no matter what but that means that its fairly unlikely that were going to see fairly big changes in his Approval Rating or in his electoral odds going into november some robinson Woodward Bernstein in washington were going to thank you know 2. For Vice President joe biden. Who is speaking right now. Lets listen in for a moment we have a problem you know there are 4560000 people who live instead of dad because he didnt listen to the station moderators it was the guys like me back in january saying you know problem. But my point is this. I think. I was talking to a freshman of our last night. And hes talking about history. And we have to educate the public war about the history of what supremacy history of the subjugation of the 4 years and i agree with that i think is another. I think whats happened what i mean maybe as you norm senator. I would use different frame the bandaid ripped off by this defendant is president nobody can pretend any longer what this is all about.
