Transcripts For KGO America This Morning 20240713 : vimarsan

Thank you for joining us on this friday morning. Lets get right to that breaking news, the most violent night of protests so far in minneapolis. Anger over the death of george floyd boiling over as protesters gained access to a Police Station overnight setting fire to the building just hours after prosecutors said they are not ready to announce whether charges will be filed in connection with floyds death. 500 soldiers with the Minnesota National guard have now been activated to respond to the growing violence. At least 170 businesses have been damaged so far. This is video of a liquor store on fire. The fire chief saying, quote, we will aggressively fight these fires, but well retreat if its not safe. Demands for an arrest in the case have grown since video showed floyd moments before his death handcuffed with a Police Officers knee on his neck. This morning were learning more about previous complaints against that officer as protests spread to cities far beyond minneapolis. Overnight protests in minneapolis turned violent. People storming an evacuated Police Precinct setting it on fire. The National Guard activated after prosecutors say theyre not yet ready to press charges in the death of george floyd. An estimated 4,000 people marched peacefully through minneapolis earlier. But as night fell, other protesters set fires destroying that third Police Precinct and businesses. More than 30 fires were set the previous night. Target is now temporarily closing 24 stores in the twin cities after people were seen looting some of its stores in the area. Hey, hey, hey. Reporter new video shows a woman in a wheelchaired pumped and sprayed with a fire exti extinguisher after she tried to block protesters from entering one of those stores. Leave her alone. Leave her alone. Reporter the city is now suspending Public Transportation through the weekend. And now the protest spreading to more cities across the country including new york city where Police Arrested at least 40 people. In los angeles and in denver, dozens gathered at the state capitol. Move, move. Reporter shots were reportedly fired, and one person was hit by a car. Many of the demonstrators chanting i cant breathe, some of the final words uttered by floyd monday night when video shows him on the ground handcuffed then losing consciousness with minneapolis officer Derek Chauvins knee digging into his neck. Transcripts from a newly released 911 call show police were called to the scene after a store employee accused floyd of trying to use counterfeit money. Four officers in the video have been fired including chauvin. Abc news has learned that chauvin had 18 prior complaints filed against him, two of them required discipline. Thursday prosecutors said they wont rush to press charges in floyds death. We are conducting a robust and meticulous investigation into the circumstances surrounding the events of may 25th, 2020 and the Police Officers actions on that evening. Reporter the president says the Justice Department and fbi are investigating along with county prosecutor mike freeman. Freeman later clarified this comment he made regarding evidence in the case. My job in the end is to prove that he violated a criminal statute and there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. Reporter this morning freemans office says his remark on other evidence is being misinterpreted saying it was critical to review all the evidence because at the time of trial invariably all that information will be used. A former federal Prosecutor Says if anyone is charged in floyds death, the announcement is likely months away. If they were to present a job that was, you know, maybe half done to a jury, theyre not going to say, you know, please forgive some of the evidentiary holes in my case, i was really in a hurry. Nobody is going to care. And a nightclub owner in minneapolis says chauvin and floyd both worked as Security Officers at his club last year but he says hes not sure if they knew each other. A major fire was also burning in the city of st. Paul. Reporter Beth Mcdonough from our minneapolis station was there. Reporter Police Officers out here at the scene tell us that rioters have essentially been torching some of these buildings. Theyve been going up and down university nsacking business, vandalizing businesses, looting businesses. Weve seen a Grocery Store targeted, a target store targeted. We know that fires were set at a u. P. S. Store, a verizon store, business after business, at least a dozen of them we know at this point, and just recently police and firefighters had set up a perimeter here on university, and that is to keep the suspected looters and rioters as far away from this fire as possible. And beth says a neighborhood nearby was evacuated because of those fires. President trump weighed in overnight on the protests in minneapolis criticizing the mayor calling him very weak. The president also tweeted, these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd, and i wont let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him the military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Moments ago, the mayor of minneapolis responded to trumps criticism. Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions. Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis. Donald trump knows nothing about the strength of minneapolis. Reporter the mayor called for peace and calm in the city. Meanwhile, twitter has now flagged the president s tweet saying his line about looting and shooting violates twitter seven peleershot da otesinlencel crowds were demanding jushootin taylor. She was killed in march inside her apartment by police during a drug investigation. Well have more coverage of the protests in just a few minutes.

Many in the south. In alabama at least 14 people have now died in a rural nursing home. In minnesota, icu beds are starting to fill up in minneapolis, which is now projected to see a shortage of beds in three weeks. Neighboring wisconsin also seeing a surge. Now canceling the state fair for the first time in 75 years.

Laleh garabagian about several topics including that new stud by stu started asking about a new at home test just approved by the fda. The status of testing in general still largely depends on local and regional Testing Capacity and the ability for people to access those sites. So as you can understand, theres wide variability of current testing practice across the country and selfadministered nasal or saliva swabs are still undergoing investigation to ensure its accuracy of test results when performed by Health Care Providers but the fda seems optimistic and i think an accurate home testing option would be great for all. We have new information this morning about diabetics and this virus and a study finds one in ten diabetic patients with covid19 died within a week of being hospitalized. Whats the takeaway here . Its a good question and to some extent we know that anyone with diabetes is already at increased risk and may have difficulty fighting any infection because of their compromised immune system, so this study essentially confirms the same is true for covid. Looking at Washington State hit early on with the first confirmed cases, now were learning about half of newly diagnosed coronavirus cases there are people under age 40. Why are we seeing this . At the beginning of testing we had very limited and strict criteria for who we were able to test through the department of public health. Most of those who met the criteria at that time had to be severely or critical ill and it continues to be to this day that the older or Elderly Population are those who are the sickest. So now with broader testing criteria and an increased Testing Capacity, more equipment, more are getting tested who have milder illnesses. Our thanks to dr. Garabogian there.
