Im here in the exact spot where george floyd with count by Minneapolis Police officer derek exactly a week ago today. We all saw the video and we all know that he knew exactly what he was doing we all know that this was a conscious decision what was it 9 minutes of video watching him stand around while the guy slowly dies i mean come on. I dont see a way out other than charging now there are about 70 people here that are a living flowers theyre leaving stuffed animals and messages for full weight for those who knew him they say that he was a man who was against violence actually spoke out against it and tried to invoke change. The same cycle over and over and over no matter how you did it was just this is devastating period i was here a last night around 11 pm 3 hours. And i want to say there were about 2 to 300 protesters that were peacefully protesting and completely unified however the best way to describe the atmosphere i thought it would. Look at this history this this is stuff that weve seen in the books not just in the United States the whole world is incident like this is. For us to be at the mecca this is the more protests are scheduled for the rest of the day as the protesters say they wont stop until justice is served now what exactly does that look like protesters say they wont stop and tell the remaining 3 officers are in charge and convicted and theyre. Hoping that officer shows in that 3rd degree murder charges change to the 1st degree im actually banks reporting in minneapolis. Merican city is putting neighbors against one another racial tensions rise to the surface over the death of george floyd in minneapolis but will there be one unified voice to come from this latest round of rioting or well this further the divide here to discuss our panel tonight they want ken hes a College Professor and editor at large for salon dot com and of course former congressman and Lieutenant Colonel in the u. S. Army allen west gentlemen thank you for being with us today so i. D. L. Start with you head of of George Floyds death you wrote a piece for huff po about dirty cops in your hometown of baltimore and your brush with one of them as a young teen reflect on your personal experience for us in light now of mr floyds death. So what i want to do with the essay is just to show people like i want to take it a step beyond dirty cops because we are know that theyre the cops but i wanted to highlight what went through and how you can be on either side of the wanted drugs but at the same front of you still if youre a victim if youre selling them using drugs which also a victim if youre being a sort of locking up people a lot of times we should be locked up or rats of people who shouldnt be harassed and using the bench as a tool to average itself off of money thats made on the street and i really wanted to cover that and i didnt just do it i use my personal story but i use terms and terms in terms of Court Documents and testimonies from victims and witnesses who participated in the incarceration of this Police Officer because you know we are noted as dirty cops but we got a ticket for of this going to other people outside of communities like mark you understand and congressman west you are. Known for being an outspoken conservative and a proponent of the 2nd amendment how do you feel that the mainstream medias coverage of the the reopened protests that we saw last month we saw armed people descend on state capital buildings like those in michigan with how theyre covering the protests were seeing today. Very simple ive been to some of these rallies with a matter of fact im going to row in austin texas just 2 saturdays ago there was no destruction of property there was no burning down there was no looting or anything i think the problem of the sampling right now is that were losing focus piece about it from seeing this news talk and anyone remember george floor because i dont think that the people who are out there doing all of this damage think about if youre a Small Business owner and you just got your business opened back up because of the cobra 1000 this year and now you have show more come along and destroy your business you had nothing to do with that thats exactly what has happened here in dallas texas of the earth off some of the social Media Communications from these groups that are out here and there for related this and theyre pushing us out about such as lets move further up and lets go on a while and lets go and sexy these are small suburban communities so this has nothing to do with getting justice for george lloyd this is an opportunity that these very violent gangs who should rightly be called domestic terrorist groups of what theyre doing who are not and perpetrated against in the sack people. And now barring the minority of those people looting and displaying criminal behavior how do you take this momentum as president obama spoke about today and propel change what does that change look like and how how do you harness this why its want the people and varying ideologies about what moving forward means. You know if it a daily thing. Generation before me. Didnt have a figured out in a generation before them didnt have to figure it out you got so many people who make in a conversation about any and everything but the history of violence and poverty and racism and White Supremacy and all the Different Things cocktail than a few really nice people in the streets right now i know that my job as a person who loves my city and who loves my community is the pull of love and support for the young people who are going to be left here and have to put this that these things back together i think you know theres no big answers because police you know Police Police are different and every minute is a paladin every state every city every community they have their own way they police so we as people who love our community have to do what we can in the places where we live on campus on what happened and you stand because i have to put my energy into the thing that i thats happening and bottomless city right now but i do think we need to change the conversation i think the conversation is this you know that it a day there be no Small Business if you keep killing people in general it isnt as if people care to see a park so we have to figure out how to get to the bottom of that ok that sounds like youre saying that the change starts locally at home and then maybe eventually will get there and in the bigger conversation but then congressman theres that old adage one rotten apple spoils the bunch we all know that when weve heard it applied to the protesters and these rioters why doesnt the same apply to cops. Well it does apply to cops i mean you think about the gentleman who shot the young man down in South Carolina hes in jail this man will go to jail ill agree that used to be a 1st degree murder without that and they should be accessories to murder those other 3 Police Officers but look i cannot explain why the City Attorney there are many apples did not decide to do that. It was allen west and de watkins will be right back in just 2 minutes. No crowd. No shots. Actually. Struck know. Which your thirst for action. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area rush up. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern. So thats why were going to drill down on the story for you today right here on the news of the action is where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. And tonight in new york city protesters have gathered in times square just hours ahead of the 11 oclock curfew tonight the nations biggest city is trying to head off another night of destruction erupting amid protests from this Nations Capital<\/a> a large group of protesters have defended near the white house authorities have used tear gas to disperse a lot of them squaring off with riot police also on the street of the National Guard<\/a> troops and military tanks humvees moments ago President Trump<\/a> spoke to the nation from the rose garden or his parents from zach just got back from where those protests were happening and where the president was speaking so far and what can you tell us about the president s message so in Lafayette Park<\/a> there was a lot of boos as the National Guard<\/a> came in descended and basically took over Lafayette Park<\/a> this afternoon monella there was a lot of pushback by donald trump says that he is the president of law and order and hes going to keep the American People<\/a> safe take a listen look at what he said 2 moments ago or george and his family justice will be served he will not have done.

Curfews and forced and thousands arrested. And what started off as Peaceful Demonstrations<\/a> in new york quickly turning destructive in parts of manhattan was the outside of it was demonstrators clashing with Police Setting<\/a> fires to police cars throwing bricks rocks and fireworks at officers who responded in full force mobs of people seen rampaging down sidewalks smashing into numerous luxury shops to steal merchandise over 100 stores vandalized by sunday night at least 33 n. Y. P. D.

This state this city which was the epicenter of the outbreak for weeks hasnt even started lifting lockdown restrictions and already new concern the mass protests will spark a 2nd wave of the deadly virus 100 seen here clustering together in large groups and screaming many going against state regulations not wearing masks. Also says using tear gas and pepper spray to disperse crowds causing people to tear up and to cause further increasing respiratory secretions enhancing the possibility of transmission but despite the risks the message is clear for the able we need to be out here on the streets doing the work of reporting in new york trinity each other as r. T. After days of protests and riots across the country many u. S. Officials are looking for someone to blame for that violence but the countries that routinely receive Harsh Criticism<\/a> from washington for their handling of protests are 2 pointing out some hypocrisy blevins is joining us now to discuss the details of all of this so rachel lets start with the obvious right now china how have they responded to these protests happening here what china just recently passed National Security<\/a> legislation for hong kong which specifically targeted foreign influences after months of demonstrations that were cheered on by the u. S. Even in cases where the clashes became violent but when it came to mass protest here in the u. S. With many of them violent china responded by issuing a statement in which they expressed concern for the minorities who have been targeted by police with. Social current state of affairs once again in the seriousness of the problems of Racial Discrimination<\/a> violence Law Enforcement<\/a> by u. S. And police and the urgency of the problem. So you know a spokesperson for Chinas Foreign Ministry<\/a> also took to twitter sharing a broadcast from r. T. America where anchor rick sanchez pointed out the contrast between help a tramp and ministration refer to those who take part in riots he. In the u. S.
