Well its everyones out for themselves though this picture was taken outside a russian restaurant in San Diego California where armed locals lined up to defend the premises the owner is among those who felt the need to be armed in the current circumstances he spoke to us about his experience. First of all d d on saturday. Heavy looting in the city of san diego it wasnt in our neighborhood but it was a neighborhood of loomis which is pretty close to us just maybe 6 miles outside of the down town city limits where you know the the the protests started peacefully and then they started burning buildings i am mellow city and it pains me to see this you see. Young american young young black lives being lost or something stupid like this in the border and the fact that you know people are living doesnt help the cost thats thats just my personal experience my personal opinion you know there could be.

You know said about other countries that other countries dont have we are also concerned about the threats of violence against journalists which have a Chilling Effect on press freedom especially when they are not investigated or prosecuted we call for an immediate end to threats and for violence against journalists hope the rest of the world will follow our press freedoms and the great things we do in the United States what i is it leaks serious from yesterday is that the us is all too willing to be willing to admit that violence upon journalists here and to try to silence journalists here am i so again if i remember the past experiencing the same thing. More signs of the times a marked rise in graffiti across the United States where rioters have sprayed police cars walls windows pavements the target there is a c. A b.

Drug crime unit in r t americas rick sanchez say Stretch Police forces are really up against it. American politicians whether theyre mayors or councilmen or senators or local officials or state officials or federal officials cannot get elected unless they say in their stump speech i will give you 10 more Police Officers for your city the next one i will give you 20 more Police Officers and im going to give them bigger guns and im going to give them more cars the days of when Young Children in america had people who help them not become criminals have given way to a society where we almost encourage them to become criminals so then we can arrest them because after we arrest them we create another job not only do we have now more cops but now we can hire Correctional Officers the number of Correctional Officers the number of cops in america continues to go up and you know whats interesting you almost cant even put this on cops i know its an easy. I feel horrible about Police Officers and be very critical of them but weve put those people in that situation right weve weve told them all we want you to do is go out there and arrest people america has turned into a militarization zone a police state and weve done it with each politician who we voted for who decided to take them additional budgets all over the world all over our country and shrink them down to almost nothing so they can create more space for more guns and more cops and more cop cars why in the hell in the United States of america are our Police Officers wearing camouflage around us and Army Uniforms as if we were the enemy and thats a big part of the problem this were the enemy and theyre the authority. Detention certainty on the streets right now there are some glimmers of light one protester in California Run up to a Police Officer and gave him a hug similar seems to kentucky while in philadelphia several officers now in front of demonstrators she cheered. Seems to be returning to minneapolis where the protest kicked off our team eric is. To take a look. I am here at the Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct which for many as a symbol of systemic racism once that disturbing video of officer derrick show been located in georgia Point Surface many people became enraged and took to the streets and said thats a very precinct i believe trying to send a message to Law Enforcement that this is one death you will not get away with last night i attended a peaceful demonstration at the memorial where hundreds were in attendance i spoke to them about president Donald Trumps threat to send in more military National Guardsmen and police if trump wants to bring them in. Terry we are going to bring our people and we are going to show that we are not scared of heavy machinery we look at our president s our leaders and parents if youre threatening the people and your people youre a human race and thats a fact everybodys looking at this is a black white thing and ill tell you the honestly this is beyond or george fluid issue this is an issue of manatee you know its just not right the way they kill us where. They sit in the military and this is a peaceful this is very very peaceful. To do is charge the police this will start all over the world most people say all they want is for the remaining 3 officers involved in floyd to death to be charged and for officer show bins 3rd degree charge to be moved to the 1st degree many others have stated similar and so dense demonstrators are expected to continue peacefully protesting throughout the week hoping that justice and served one family has announced that Memorial Services will be held this thursday it to remember has a life and legacy reporting in minneapolis im ashley big. One new york congressmans guarded feelings about the unrest has gone viral after being on wittingly caught by a socalled hot mike veteran democratic representative eliot engel was recorded saying he wouldnt care about the Police Brutality on rist if he didnt have prime ready to fight referring to his upcoming election challenge the 12 2nd clip went viral and saw his political rivals race to condemn his remarks and go later backtracked saying those deeply care about the situation of quarter looks now at the blurred lines between political compassion and exploitation during a nation defining event. Long ago the u. S. For a bloody civil war that broke the chains of africanamerican bondage but over 150 years later and the country is once again. I did by race with growing fears that another great civil conflict could take place and the politicians are already drawing their camps on the one side trump is beating the drum of war and is ordering the military to step in i am mobilizing all available federal resources civilian and military to stop the rioting and looting to end the destruction and arson and to protect the rights of law abiding americans and as the president who wants to be known for restoring law and order he also wants the naysayers to know that god will be voting for trump in 2020. 5. Every good night good is electoral rival joe biden finally awoke from his long media silence and recently went down to the protests in delaware to show his support for them and his campaign of course the only way to bed this crane is to turn all that anguish to purpose and as president i will help lead this conversation and more importantly i will listen by and support was echoed in an op ed by his old boss former president barack obama he added though that people need to participate in elections to fix the problem. Eventually aspirations have to be translated into specific laws and institutional practices and in a democracy that only happens when we elect government officials who are responsive to our demands the waves of protests across the country represent a genuine and legitimate frustration over a decades long failure to Reform Police practices and the broader criminal Justice System in the United States right and obama was that responsible government official. We cant forget that it was under the Obama Administration that we saw the rise of black lives matter for 8 years the United States had a black president and Police Brutality is still as bad as it ever was you could even argue that some are even more outraged about it now. The democrats and the republicans have picked their sides and so to have the countrys tech giants both twitter and instagram change their logos in honor of black lives matter you tube and other companies have made politicized tweets to show their support with all these different political interests all trying to wrangle the social unrest to their advantage you have to wonder who will come out on top and at what cost. To the truck the ministration the old bomb up by the administration did better thats not really saying that in the actual thank you very vulgar bus not saying much at all to keep in many of us were very disappointed with the Obama Administration as for mr feith when he was in the us senate he was in many ways according to the New York Times the mafia things that in this criminal Justice System that has led to so this isnt a task for me you know blocking him in a particular thing and customs i mean its unclear what will be to him produce joining us when we want to. But i would like to think that they are serving to discredit or mr trump who has her for quite typical sashing and a horrendous way. Or the. Illinois. We go to work. Straight home. So it seems wrong. But i. Just dont. Get to see. This day become educated and in gateshead equals the trail. When something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
