The us president has come under criticism for his handling of the tense situation in particular the forced removal of protesters outside the white house in order for donald trump to have a photo opportunity at a nearby church when Peaceful Protesters dispersed in order for a president the pressure from the doorstep of the peoples house the white house using tear gas d and flash grenades during this stage for a long fight on one of the most Historic Churches in the country or at least in washington d. C. We can be forgiven for believing the president is more interested in power then in friendship. Were just serving the passion that was based on the needs of the people is clear well ministers including those attached to the church the trump visited have also criticized the president accusing him of using religion as props for his own political ends and protests are continuing across the country that curfew has been place in many cities to keep order the protests have been mostly peaceful during the day but nightfall has brought some looting and vandalism in certain areas. Well well be talking to john hendren in minneapolis a little bit lets take you to some pictures from earlier in new york. We know that there were there were protests there during the day and here we see protest as walking down midtown we had violence last night in midtown has a protest as arrested there was some bomb them as a man looting in midtown so thats the scene now live from new york but lets go back to minneapolis for a 2nd to talk to john hendren so john lets talk 1st about that george floyd Family Press Conference in minneapolis was tearful it was poignant so so one of the family have to say. Well roxie washington was the one who really did the most poignant speaking there and she said that George Clooney has left a jogger who will never know her father will never have another graduation never see never will never see her walk down the aisle and she talked about justice for george what in his familys been very clear about what that is his brother cherone stopped about this yesterday and that is they want all 4 of the officers who arrested george floyd to face charges now one of them already has derek chiffon is charged with 3rd degree murder and with manslaughter but they want all 4 of those officers to be charged and i just want to give you a little look around here daryn at the scene here if you look back there under those tents at that gas station you can see that there are people speaking a lot of listeners and then theres been music here theres food theres been even dancing at point over here there is a flower memorial that you can see where people have laid for him and then here is the somber sight behind me. And that is where george floyd spent his last moments it was right in front of this food store. And that is where the real memorial has been you can see the newest addition over here is the george floyd painting but i want to introduce you to somebody this is a grand jury who lives here 3 interesting facts about any. Liz in the military is a fireman and a new prince but were not going to talk about that today were going to talk about why youre here im here because. This is this story the part of history its a part of our history 7. I think that minnesota started a revolution across the country and nobody expected ive been talking about this for a year that some like this is going to happen i just didnt think it was going to start from minnesota and so what do you get i mean what are you hearing people say why are they still out in the streets now after its now been a day. Well. If you live in this city and you know what its like this is like a great cloud over the city right now. People are sold trust the nation right with this colvin and everybody been in isolation in iraq before an employee in the in the turn on the t. V. Or be out here and see Something Like that take place thats that was a snapping point thats all they needed was that was the few sort of fire right and instead of home theres one officer being convicted what happened to the other and very and thats why everybodys out here and if there was 4 on the department and there might be 4. 00 to 8. 00 more to it you dont know if they operate in the same in the sense right its a its a some private club that you join and youre sworn into secrecy and not to betray your brother. And as an africanamerican man here and in minnesota you feel like that could have been you. I do despite my intelligence despite my resume despite my work my work ethic and my successes i feel like that could have been me. That thats thats somewhat been me ive been pulled out of my car. And its based off of what type of vehicle youre driving if i drive my old winter beater im a rascal for those if i drive my little macheda. And it shouldnt be that way cant judge a man based off of the car he drives you know judge a man based off a man right so in a sense youre here for george floyd but youre also here for whoever might be next right or slow it is me hes hes hes a lot of minorities hes a lot of will arrest people not just minorities people that are. Oppressed by the system i can ask i can ask his generalized question not to line up 10 men here every nationality and ask him do you get nervous when you when a cop car gets behind you you even get nervous when a cop car gets wind oh yeah and you got all the right credentials i got all the right one interest right because your safety in your life is in the hands of someone that could paint their own picture of you despite your successes and it should be that way. And how long do you think this is going to happen how long are you going to keep coming out here. Until we get justice to all all officers involved in officers are like them are held accountable. All right well i just want to thank you akita for for talking to us and walking us through all that im sorry were not supposed to do that ill give you want to bring my apologies but that is that sampling of you from here really and its one ive heard from nearly every africanamerican young man ive talked to here and that is each one of them feel that what happened to george floyd could have happened to them. And john we know that minnesota has filed a civil rights charge of dense the Minneapolis Police over the death of george floyd well what does this all mean john. Well the governor has been keen to end these protests and he said i know that those. Protesters think that officials are not listening to them and i want them to know that i am listening to them we have filed discrimination charges against the Minnesota Police department what that does is it triggers an investigation that investigation looked half back 10 years into whether there has been systemic racism specifically against africanamericans in the minneapolis state Police Department and meanwhile hes seeking to make a voluntary agreement with the Minneapolis State Police to change their policies so it can be a more racially Fair Department all right john hendren live for us in minneapolis john thank you for that lets cross over now to washington d. C. And talk to show how. Seems a protest as you were telling us earlier splits into smaller groups tonight tell us where you on whats happening now. What about outside the white house they move in small groups they work around the Police Follow them when they come back some of them come back some of the we understand may be heading towards the capitol but were not really sure about the several 100 people now outside the white house once again the difference this evening is in the topography as we now have this fence here and the Security Forces are all in line behind in some ways its sort of feels much more secure as a result because as a result the combat troops are just right next to us pepper spraying us kidnapping house and so on bajor just sort of behind our lives like kept in that cage and i have come out every now and im up a spreadsheet offense but back read back then because i was a bit will reassure you got the sense and i was told is that people do you think donald trump is just he had his photo opportunity had his crackdown and now maybe theyll allow this to be a peaceful site a protest which is i mean a reason to volunteer is because the the tricks the troops starts sort of talking the protest is just what is the hype but you know and you know when theyre actually going on a development to to bring you well the defense secretary has given. Him an interview where he says when he came out with donald trump to visit the church or visit the white house he had no idea where he was going in fact unlucky. Brad i did if you can focus he thought he was visiting this building here which is a toilet in Lafayette Square which has some graffiti on it he said it was i thought i was concerned i was going to see a dime a jug a toilet in Lafayette Square he says he had no idea he was going to the church is really interesting is that hes distancing himself from visits to try to just enjoy him just go so much drugs and other to the joint chiefs of staff that he was there in full combat gear and theres a lot of outrage about that this took the show he got very quick very glad it got short because hes a veteran activist and hes been on so many. Part just here in d. C. About Police Brutality and getting justice and i want to i would use you feel that Something Different in order that everything will go back to normal once again in a few days well i would say that you know the intensity of Police Repression that weve seen over the last few days though not this evening is unlike anything ive seen personally in washington d. C. And in the last few years having been organizing here and in terms about whether or not people work again i think that depends on the extent to which people are organized ultimately thats what will have to be a result of all of this effort youve been seeing thousands and thousands of people take to the streets all across the country here in d. C. Facing incredible repression being gassed being shot at with pellets and things like this we had a whole scene in here in washington d. C. Last night of people being trapped on the street being gassed unfortunately some people taking them into their homes as always been an all out systemic assault i would say on a protest here in d. C. And so again moving forward he spent 2 weeks that can coalesce around a kind of organized thrust or just as i think obama can always seem to force as a different street outrage of Police Brutality and actual connecting of the dots between the Police Brutality and the economy and the Democratic Party when you see were joined by can t. Shirts around by can use the alter so much legislation that empowers the police in the in the 1st place and hes contrite now but he was boasting about it not so long that guy i mean do you feel that people are connecting the dots or is about all trump is about. Hes the reason why the still you know it by rule of 3 things i mean thats not what youre looking for what do you think there will suddenly you know the political spectrum out here once again but you make an important point connecting the economy in Economic Issues with race to lose to you know were still very much in the midst of a thing about has been damaged and the United States government has completely abandoned its people weve got 40 some odd 1000000 people unemployed all these different issues not top of all of them feel average at least theyre happening and so this is all flowing from the capitalist system in my opinion and so for me it seems important to make that connection not only to sort of get a better idea of music ensemble but so that we can begin to serious questions about what kind of side and what kind of system do we want moving forward seeing that the capitalist system is not us solving our problems and in fact was designed to do so i should go for that youre talking about a complete change of the entire american system so what he was not realistic as the country faces around the sort of gist of the footprint thats added some ways to the protests that were seeing today it will be realistic when we make it real for the people of cuba action so the same question the people of venezuela of vietnam china acts themselves all the same question grenada before they had their revolution to completely over change their society and so i think the big we have to do what they did we have to seize the time and. You know be you know take charge of our own destiny and have the confidence that we can in fact change society all it takes is the will to do it and the organization to carry it out properly sean lavin thank you very much you we will remain and its a nice act with a preview we just hope but maybe a little stay this is always a vigorous protest its a very solid sense that its you know this like civility is a good thing it means its you know you can handle a certain amount of a beating theres no way its coming out my this is what we have about you know that all of the all the tricks i went outside and all coming through this way so i will have to see they have to go around there i want to tear us out well be all right to come back to later on throughout the night thats me but the finale. Police in new york have begun making arrests off of the citys curfew came into effect thousands of people remained on the streets despite an early curfew people are being ordered to go home in the last few days theres been some looting and vandalism in the nighttime curfew set to remain in place until sunday but the state Governor Andrew Cuomo has criticized new york citys response to the protests he said the police there havent done enough to stop looting and vandalism cameras offer to send the National Guard to help restore order. The n. Y. P. D. And the mayor did not do their job last night i believe. Second you have 38000 and y. P. The people it is the largest Police Department in the United States of america you a 1000 people and protect property use the Police Protect property and people look at the video it was a disgrace but the citys mayor bill de blasio says deploying the National Guard only heightened tensions we do not need nor do we think its wise for the National Guard to be in new york city nor any Armed Forces Im going to tell you why this is really important we have this hour right now if someone needs a History Lesson when outside armed forces go into communities no good comes of it or gave a liaison that was in new york where police are trying to enforce the curfew. It started as a peaceful protest but things have turned taking a turn for the worst weve seen some looting theyve got a gentleman in custody over there the police are just showing up here in force right now. As another night of chaos here in new york city. They were. There and barely there. Were looting chase bank. Down the street here. Again the curfew is in effect right now. And we saw a group of about 20. 00 to 30. 00 break off. And there was the start of the booster who we were. And then the Police Responded this is what weve seen all night groups of looters that are breaking off from the peaceful protests and then start some sort of looting and then within usually 5 minutes you see a Huge Police Presence descend on the scene and thats exactly what were seeing right here right now while in the last few hours a curfew has come into effect in los angeles hes ahead of the go had a mode of protest as well still out on the streets in fewer numbers and earlier in the day more than 2700 of them have been arrested in the city since the protests began nearly all of them for curfew violations or refusing to dismiss so lets go to the west coast now to talk to rob reynolds there in Los Angeles Bob said things seem to calm down there but now tell us whats been happening on the streets around. Well there have been huge protests peaceful protests marching people chanting of course that black lives matter justice for darryl floyd and for. The george florida excuse me and for others who have lost their lives during encounters with the police but now it seems to be very very quiet you can see police are behind me but i think thats a good thing that people are actually and hearing through the curfew again in a very peaceful manner its interesting i know you were talking at length to about the trip that President Trump took to that Historic Church in. That square yesterday for the purposes of a photo op and to hold up a bible well an interesting response to that from a group of faith leaders here in los angeles who on wednesday a leaders from a variety of religious traditions are going to gather at a church in santa monica to hold their own protest meeting and to gather to to to discuss the situation in a rabbi neil daniels organize th
