RT In Question July 12, 2024

House rachel whats the latest on the ground is it getting rowdy. It is all over im a no were out here and as you can see i am surrounded by hundreds of protesters weve been out here for 10 hours now today and this is the largest crowd weve seen so far and we even learned today all 4 of the officers were fired for their role in the death of george boyd will face charges that really hasnt changed the atmosphere here because even though protesters say it is a start they also say that this movement is about much more than just words but what now as you can see behind me there is a massive crowd of protesters and behind them there is a line of Armored Police and personnel now weve seen that line increase even more as the day has gone on and it is an Interesting Development because last week we saw much smaller barricades and then yesterday we saw in new border fence that was put up around Lafayette Park but today is the 1st day that weve seen those armored personnel to up and put up their face. Its faced with protesters and so far things have been largely peaceful but it was the smaller barricades back on friday that reportedly protesters are ran into them and were able to barrel through them and now report theyre claiming that that was what led to those reports of President Trump being rushed to his own car now as we have said these protests have been incredibly peaceful here especially over the last 24 hours which is very important because these are the largest protests that this city has seen going to take a look at what we saw earlier today. Thank god for iraq protesters gathered by the hundreds in washington d. C. Wednesday morning for a march to the Capitol Building demonstrators said their goal was to continue spreading their message despite the threat of an increased crackdown on riddick protesters are marching to the capital right now here in washington d. C. And we are here in calls but no justice no peace say his name george floyd and say her name Briana Taylor and people that have gathered here want to emphasize the fact that this is a largely peaceful protest but at the same time they are still i dont know about bringing attention to this case as a Police Reality the cases where americans have lost their lives at the hands of police yet in these cases as they have said there has been no justice and they say there will be no peace the protest was organized by the Group Freedom fighters d. C. And they repeatedly emphasize the fact that it was meant to bring awareness to a message that has been at the heart of these protests since the beginning organizers were seen handing out bottles of water mask and Hand Sanitizer and demonstrators included people of all races all ages and all backgrounds this protest comes one day after thousands were seen marching to the white house marking the largest gathering the city has seen since the protests began many of those protesters broke the 7 pm curfew implemented by the district but even then the demonstrations were largely peaceful and the clashes with police appeared to be minimal. Now the overwhelming message we have heard these protesters want their voices to be heard they want there to be justice for victims. Like rwanda paler. And they want to see i. Think here in the United States and even though weve seen. A new curfew tonight. We are on the street throughout the protests these protests and they dont plan to stop any time recording from outside the white house Rachel Commons are seen. It is a photo that hasnt left the spotlight since it was taken and if anything its kind of made things worse this photo behind me taken monday afternoon in front of the historic St Johns Church has a top pentagon adviser now publicly resigning so here to talk more about the fall out is art hes fair project fair and you were there just moments before that picture right there was taken right we actually left 5 minutes later i would have been in the middle or almost directly in front of this picture when it was taken and also in the middle of those smoke bombs that went off that you know its one of those things to move those protesters away from that area again you saw those smoke bombs going off and save your St Johns Church across the street from the white house but that is this big issue now which is why chains miller resign now in this letter published in the Washington Post miller who was a department of Defense Advisor says that defense secretary marc esper one along with quote trumps orders to fire canisters into the crowd writing to esper President Trumps actions monday night by a late of his oath to take care that the laws be faithfully executed you may not a good able to stop the president but you could have chosen to oppose it instead you visibly supported it and you know looking at this picture of the guy were talking mark asper under fire its the guy all the way here on the left so now we know who mark esper is but who is this james miller and has mark esper responded to that public. Getting so actually james miller is actually really big and the d. O. J. And his resignation actually had mark esper out responding as soon as it was published now miller served on the defense Science Board which is a group of retired senior officials who tackle cyber and Communication Technology along with weapons of mass destruction now he also won 4 times the medal for distinguished Public Service which is the highest award a civilian can actually get from the d o d now as far as mark esper he says that he had no idea they were going to be taking a picture rather saying that he thought he was going to be doing 2 things 1st seeing the damage to the St Johns Church and also talking to troops in Lafayette Park thats directly across the street again from the white house he also pushed back on the media saying what was reported was inaccurate take a Listen National guard forces did not far rubber bullets were tear gas in the crowd as reported 2nd guardsmen were instructed to were helmets and personal protective equipment for their own protection not to service some form of intimidation. Now at that same News Conference you also had esper there saying that he was against using active duty troops to keep the protests from turning violent something that President Donald Trump has actually threatened to use word inside the white house now is that esper is on some thin ice not just for what he said about taking that st johns picture but also manila for not standing behind trumps decision and you know it happens when youre on thin ice sometimes right now especially with the trumpet ministration exactly but now the state department came out with an interesting Statement Today on the 31st anniversary of Tiananmen Square theyre saying they honor are the victims there is dont they see the irony yet is a little bit odd with all the protests going on here in america but this you know now being 31 years later the state department releasing this message here we honor the brave Chinese People whose peaceful calls for democracy human rights and a Corruption Free Society came to a violent end when the Chinese Communist party sent its army into Tiananmen Square armed with tanks and guns adding that the u. S. Stands with the people of china who continue to aspire to a government that protects human rights fundamental freedoms and basic Human Dignity so again manila in the wake of americans out practicing democracy by freedom of assembly protesting the irony of all of this as you see those tanks rolling into Tiananmen Square back in 89 well today were seeing u. S. Military trucks rolling through the streets of washington d. C. Now todays protesters not calling for democracy but still calling for human rights and a corrupt free society so.
