Cross United States protesters are not back in town in their demand for Police Reform thousands of protesters are marching in los angeles as National Guard troops pull out of the city. Says live from los angeles and more on this crowd so rob this is been going on over a weekend the crowds seem to be getting bigger not smaller. Yes if you look at these pictures its just amazing really to see the numbers of people marching on hollywood boulevard the estimates are that there are about 20000 individuals who came out today sunday too to march and peacefully protest and want to emphasize that these protests were peaceful. The people here in california have been taking to the streets more than 30 protest yesterday d a similar number of protests just today as well just in the Southern California area and theyre being creative not only marching and holding sit ins but there were bike caravans of protesters there have been row outs or paddle outs involving surfers and kayakers going out to sea to to gather and to protest there a very sort of uniquely californian way of protesting and as you mentioned richelle after several days noticing the or taking note in light of the peaceful nature of the protests the california National Guard has announced that it will begin pulling its personnel off the streets of all california cities although no specific timetable was announced so its certainly same set the protests are working rob the mayor of Los Angeles Mark i said he has announced that. The plan is to cut some funding from the Police Department and what that has to do with the protests the protesters have been saying that it is time to reform Police Departments across the country and some even want to completely defund the department so what does the mayor and los angeles and thing. Well the mayor Eric Garcetti said that hes going to reallocate funding from the citys budget 250000000. 00 to such programs as developing job initiatives among black and latino and other minority Youth Health Centers in deprived areas. Trauma centers or Healing Centers as he called it to to sort of help people deal with trauma and of that 2c5xw1c5xw is coming out of the Police Budget this really runs completely counter to the conventional wisdom and political thrust in california and in many other cities over decades its always been a simple equation more police equals a safer city thats been turned on its head now and the mayor just as recently as april announcing his budget said he was going to call for a 7 percent increase in Police Funding the Police Department in los angeles gets about 2000000000. 00 out of the city budget and its nearly half or more than half in some cases of the entire city budget so the mayor had the support of members of the city council and of the Police Commissioner so it looks as if thats going to happen however a lot of pushback from the police union where the spokesman say theyre saying their city has lost his mind in actually using somewhat more colorful language than that richelle oh dear so yes this is going to be a battle for sure auburn all 5 in Los Angeles Rob thank you. Now the city or george floyd died is now promising to dismantle the police force has more. A movement that shows no signs of abating across the United States another day of massive crowds demanding Police Reform and it appears in some places getting what they want in minneapolis where the killing of george bush and unarmed africanamerican sparked the protests the city council have pledged to disband the Police Department and try to figure out a new form of police seem our commitment is to end our citys toxic relationship with the Media Outlets of Police Departments to leave things as we wait and wait for you to. Actually. Face. A new york citys mayor says hes focusing on the funding we will be moving funding from the n. Y. P. D. To use initiatives and social services he didnt say how much but it is the latest sign that the demand to defund the police is gaining traction at least for Democratic Leaders the Trump Administration is defending the heavy Police Presence and its handling of mostly peaceful protests are here and there doesnt need to be widespread change i dont think you need to reduce the munity to to go a step backwards because that would result certainly in Police Pulling back i do not think that we have a systemic racism problem with Law Enforcement officers across this country do i knowledge that there are some Law Enforcement officers that abuse their job yes and again we need to hold those accountable u. S. President donald trump is mocking the idea on twitter where he also announced the National Guard troops he sent into washington d. C. Will be returning home something in the d. C. Mer has been calling for and the president is facing more criticism from leading republicans with reports former president george bush wont vote for him neither will mitt romney who took part in the protests. We need a voice against racism we did many voices against racism and against your talent and you stand up and say the black lives matter and former top military leaders are also openly criticizing the president this is a moment as i said of moral clarity i think is very clear in the future whether we want to unify the country in a Political Division and in the Political Division that has existed now for years or whether we want to continue to divide the country that is the choice that the American People have in front of them in the very near future on the streets. With many wondering if it will result in big changes in the november election. Tonsil now joins us live from washington d. C. But throughout the day the crowds were as large as ever there were thousands on the streets on. The protests. Today but they dont seem to be a regular part of peoples routine so to me d 5 oclock well see whether that continues into the into next week just to pick up their old up points a lot of support in pattys package this idea of National Unity of a time to come together were being told that donald trump and his advisors are actively considering some sort of address to the nation to address race. Fascinating possibilities for making a nationwide address perhaps sometime this week about race that is going to be discussed so. If you does do that one wonders what effect that will have all the protests well. She had been talking to the protesters throughout the day what have they been saying to you about how you know theres been a lot of symbolism people that make it seem like the message is getting through what what are you hearing from them what are their their concerns. Its that fine balance is a real debate now the whole point of this is to change peoples so when mitt romney for example joins a black lives. Its good right i mean mitt romney a republican is saying black lives matter thats the point of raising Peoples Awareness saying. Making people realize that things need to change having said that it hasnt gone unnoticed that people like mitt romney are saying black lives matter and using that as just when in fact the slogan has shifted the new slogan is defund the police we dont know what mitt romneys position is on that and there is always that fine balance as to whether. Its meaning which means obviously everyone hates racism but what how do you dismantle Structural Racism how do you go about it the need to do that and thats why weve moved as we have. The streets weve moved from black. To defund the Police Written by matter d. C. Weve had a man who says that she is going to keep this as a death to to the black. Having said that she theres no sign that she has any intention of defunding the police shes the shes proposing of millions of millions of dollars in the next budget for the police while cutting social programs when she starts which actually starts deep thinking about defunding the police that we know that theres real change i think thats whats interesting about about this round of protests is that were getting those benchmarks were getting specific issues book since this isnt just about hating racism and the. Incredible slide of how that were talking about over the last few days has attempted to switch the discussion to donald trump who doesnt have control over the Police Forces and but shes been asking and glory for black lives matter statement here but shes the one who has control over the police and local authorities like the one in minnesota is not saying enough this is a systemic problem its not fit for purpose if the police feel that their job is to knock down protesters and they dont see that theres something wrong that we dont want people to do that job you know we have to we have to look for alternatives and see what does. The thing is what weve been given this time around there is specific criteria specific benchmark which will help us judge. Our. Live in washington thank you and a similar scene in new york city a person salome has been out among the protesters marching there. Demonstrators continue to come out in force here in new york weve seen rallies and marches in the streets of manhattan brooklyn all of the 5 boroughs throughout the weekend and on sunday morning the mayor announced that he was doing away with the curfew that was in place from other cities like chicago and los angeles also doing away with their purview says the demonstrations continue but continue to be largely peaceful and some victories for demonstrators as well as the mayor has announced some steps to. Increase transparency in the Police Department has announced disciplinary action against officers caught on video tackling protesters hes promising to sift funding away from the Police Department into social Service Programs that could help communities in need all of that to say that the demonstrations are still showing no signs of backing down theyre promising to keep things going even as new york city moves into the reopening phase after the coronavirus that shut it down for nearly 2 months monday will be the 1st day when Retail Stores will be allowed to do curbside pick up manufacturing will start happening again and construction so there will be more people coming into the city more people working in the city even as demonstrators are promising to keep up their fight. As we reported earlier earlier Minneapolis City Council says it plans to dismantle its police force something people across the country have been calling for at least some activists who have long advocated to reinvest in place funding into other services in the wake of george wards death support is blooming as campaigners say Police Reform has failed americas policing budget has almost tripled since 1977 to 115000000000. 00 by a significant fall and Violent Crime and painter say that money. Could be better spent on Community Services and some officials are responding to the call l. A. Mayor Eric Garcetti said he would cut up to 150000000. 00 from the planned increase in funding to the l. A. P. D. New yorks mayor has proposed a similar plan however others fear there could be a backlash and an increase in crime a recent survey said 65 percent oppose reducing Police Budgets where minneapolis were george floyd was killed was booed by a crowd of protesters and told to go home. So the protesters are upset because shaker for refused to withdraw Financial Support from the citys Police Department in the wake of floyds death its all the crowd he could not support the call to defund the police but he did favor reforms instead and as you can see they booed him and chanted shame tells a codirector of the liberty and National Security program at the Brennan Center for justice says Police Funding can be spent with little accountability. Police i just have by and large been sacrosanct in Many American cities right so not only are the announced that the increasing and time it where crime is going down but you also have a great deal of a pass to the iraqis that its made me if you ever try to look at a Police Department i do that really only looked at the one you are mostly you know its really hard to tell where the moneys going and frankly where the mice coming from in some cases because they also get a lot of money from federal government so theres a lot of issues around you know police know jason patric they continue to rise or a time when if you dont mind its going down at a time where you know many look how these are they saying you know huge budget deficits in the way to prove it 90 so all of these things i think is that who will last around this hall we didnt really need is that you know we think about how we want to spend money as a city any city right we have to think about what we want to invest in and obviously you know. Safety and security is a really important thing but there are ways of getting to. And simply finding a police force that is the old guns and butter debate right chance for Racial Justice or spreading across europe with rallies held in cities from madrid to spain and the u. K. Protesters tore down a statue of a 17th century slave trader and tossed it into a river and the actress want our governments to know that their message is not just spent for american i reports in london. I much into the American Embassy but demanding change at home the protests in london was the latest of many across the u. K. That have echoed events in the United States but demonstrate is a clear that there are huge challenges facing their own country and my people think the case in this and you. Know its all about what happens here every day people dont speak about it but finally before speaking up people started to know by this current moment in time the black lives will be largely affected were 1st Police Brutality were 1st introduced last racism and people are here to fight to say no more before the weekend britains home secretary said people should not be attending protests because of the risk of spreading covered 19. Men who wore mosques physical distancing wasnt always possible but for many the importance of making a stand outweighed any fears theres been a series of protests here inspired by the killing of george floyd in the u. S. But bringing in grievances specific to britain as well and theyre part of a trend that spread right across europe now in italy they gathered for an impromptu protest in rome taking in the for nearly 9 minutes the same length of time a white Police Officer had his knee on George Floyds name. There was also a large anti racism demonstration in the spanish capital madrid i believe the one youre looking into do think this is about racism which i think is institutional and structural and we have to protest against it this was one more case that shows that the system damages a minority and because we are not protesting every day does not mean it doesnt exist. Back in britain they pulled down a statue of a 17th century slave trader in the city of bristol one common demand on recent protests is better education about black history. I. As people continue to take to the streets across europe discussions a starts in which many people feel alone. In the 0. Storming government offices in the center of london scores of officers blocked the famous arches on whitehall some protesters were trying to push their way through objects were thrown at police many of whom wore riot gear and carried at times.
