May have begun on the streets of minneapolis with the murder of a 46 year old black man george floyd for Minneapolis Police officers for the horrendous crime of supposedly buying cigarettes with a counterfeit 20. 00 bill make no mistake. That the spark that ignited this fire was actually lip centuries ago when the 1st african slave was forced to set foot on the american shores that marked the beginning of a 400 year struggle and fight for equality and the most basic of human rights and dignity that we are now seeing playing out on our streets today only difference being is that todays oppressors have have exchanged their white hoods and plantations for badges blue uniforms and the Prison Industrial Complex and while the United States now burns in the fires of a police state gone wild where oh where are my friends. Is our leadership were aware is our elected officials who is stepping up and calling for equality and justice for the masses as they fight against this police state who by the way are now lighting up residence after curfew for the simple crime of standing on their own porch. Right. Leadership is certainly not coming from our good old brand name in chief one President Donald Trump who like the true chickenhawk he is on monday reportedly been raided the state leaders calling them weak and urged them to dominate protesters but yet when this want to be tough guy coward was confronted with over but i was and thousands of protesters at the gates of the white house rather than addressing the nation in an attempt to heal wounds and show any kind of true leadership and decency he turned off the porch lights and ran and hid in his basement. Yes my friends the white house went dark in our times of trouble which is me which means its time for us all to start watching the hawks. Whats going on in a city. That is so you. See this as this joyce state still. Grace suggests least systemic deception is the late show which would bring the real. Welcome everyone to watching the hawks i robot and i dont be surprised. If the protest in the wake joist georgia for its murder ramped up across the u. S. The Nations Capital wasnt left on american flags cars and historical ringback landmark. Were all set ablaze or defaced today marks the 3rd straight day of protests and civil unrest as the crowds keep getting worse and closer to the White House Party correspondent Dan Brunswick joins us live from the center of the action. A couple hours ago here weve been covering this all afternoon there was hundreds of protesters now theres at least a couple 1000 here that have gathered in front of the white house now i want to talk about the people on this side of the fence with me i have black white brown young people all standing together in unity and talking about making making this protest a peaceful one we did have a little bit of a skirmish with a couple of the protesters going over the barricade taking and me were Police Actually sprayed them to get back behind the barricade but on the other side of this barricade i want you to take a look we have the d. C. And the park police that are in the front row behind them we have the state police and then behind that we have a full force of military police or the d. C. National guard that just came in moments ago where protesters actually booed them when they came in now this is why the President Trump is calling on the state and local leaders to get tougher on protesters and this is kind of the way that hes doing it unloading on governors just hours ago calling them that after d. C. They are talking about a curfew that was put in place for 7 pm tonight which is in about an hour a lot of these protesters that i talked to said that theyre going to be staying here well over that now just an hour before last nights curfew that was actually at 11 pm you had multiple fires in the area that were started including at the historic St Johns Church right in the downtown where many u. S. President s have attended over the years you also had vandalism like what you see at the National Mall where at the Lincoln Memorial it was spray painted yellow not tired yet and at the world war 2 memorial it was written to black lives matter now again merit d. C. Mayor marion browser has called in the entire d. C. National guard which is made up of about 1700 soldiers to help control these protests about. Police arrested 18 people last night ranging from 18 to 34 and theyre also posting pictures on social media with images of people caught on security footage asking for the publics help to identify them now trumper earlier today did sit down and speak with attorney general bill barr who is actually expediting the george floyd investigation also again having a closed door Video Conference with state governors across the country just a few hours ago along with Law Enforcement and National Security officials who are there are proport from the inside that president john told him that they needed to step it up one actually quote coming out of the room from trump saying that its a movement if you dont put it down it will get worse and worse the only time its successful is when youre weak and most of you are weak trump also pointing out the Minneapolis Police departments 3rd precinct being burned a couple nights ago the city where the protests all began the tribe has been very vocal on where he stands on this issue mainly saying that those that are rioting and looting and causing violence are members of anti for yesterday he doesnt need it and as a terrorist organization tweeting i dont see any indication that there were any white supremacist groups mixing in this is an anti anti for organization now again that curfew was actually extended tonight from 7 pm to 6 am and then again on tuesday now ive been here with protesters all afternoon i got to tell you everything about the main people there has been a couple points are people have thrown stuff either eggs or Water Bottles of police over the barricades and other protests or is actually stepped in and said hey were not doing that were keeping this peaceful another thing is people are Walking Around giving each other water pizza and after theyre leaving theyre actually picking up their trash and moving along forward so again that curfew ending in about an hour many of these protesters saying though that there will be staying well after that for now reporting in front of the white house where you guys are and run zack for watching the hawks thank you for that. Well well well i dont think im wrong for referring to those as a rebellion. National absolute it has all of the energy over a 1000000000 it has years and you. Is a frustration that has been pent up because a lot of things that our government has done that have quite frankly negatively impacted the Africanamerican Community for generations now is the time that many want to see that type of revolutionary action that causes lasting change and it is interesting because right before we went on the air live to be released the autopsy results or the family released an independent autopsy results from the georgia border one of the absolutely so in stark contrast to the autopsy that would be out of the results that were originally given they found that the death was by expectation meaning that basically there was a cut off of oxygen and it was render due to the fact that the officer had his knee on georgia and that well thats interesting because and thats where the real heart of this problem is is that you have the state always saying one thing and always portraying one and when it comes to Police Violence in the media kind of jumps right along with them but yet when youre there on the street and what were seeing in countless videos over and over and over again of something completely different and that to me is whats at the heart of these protests absolutely and in this case we saw a police thing into t. As well as the original autopsy report basically colluding with each other to show that they were to try to eradicate responsibility from this officer they allegedly and originally said that they are the cause of death was preexisting conditions they blamed it on him having high Blood Pressure they blamed it on him having some artery issues things that are actually very common in the Africanamerican Community none of which after the independent autopsy came out were things that were actually cited as his weve been a bit its truly incredible the kind of see that played out right before our very eyes that kind of duplicity when it comes to dealing with africanamerican issues and you understand where the protests are coming from but it is very quickly whats frightening to me is what people need to understand is you know they see looting they see things like the. To me the police have been the biggest agitators in this entire week and theyre the ones showing up dressed Like Star Wars villains theyre the ones pepper spraying the crowd theyre the one shooting rubber bullets very rarely we have seen it thank god but very rarely have we seen Police Actually step up and say no were going to walk with you know were going to take me with you rarely do we see that instead we see Police Acting like stormtroopers police have treated these protesters as aggressors from the beginning i think thats a very important thing to make clear we have seen such a stark contrast between the protest of africanamericans in this country and the protest of whites in this country just a few weeks ago we saw you know a bunch of white man with a k 47 is walking up to state capitals looking threatening him in a thing also pretty much popping off on a leopard leaders meeting in the face of the Police Officers and we did not see a call for violence against those protesters now when africanamericans decide to march to hold signs then we see a different type of Reaction Police automatically Aggressive Police shooting off their their their guns and their bullets seeing a lot of the gas being used on the population i think that you know this shows us that there is one population of people that have a right to protest in this country another population that needs to stay quiet thats exactly the show. After the protests and riots across the country many many us suppose are looking for someone to blame for the violence because you know they cant they cant blame themselves they cant blame their own failed policies and lack of leadership you know we have to point fingers find someone to blame and im a fascinating twist in the countries that routinely receive the most harsh or some criticism from washington d. C. And their handling of for their handling of protests are now pointing out the hypocrisy here inside the United States arties Rachel Blevins joins us now to discuss the details thank you rachel how are these countries and what countries are they and how are they responding to the protests being that were seeing here in the. Well china has been one of the most vocal countries and its interesting because just recently we see a protest in hong kong where the United States is cheering on the protesters encouraging them but also criticizing china for wanting to crackdown on those protests now when it comes to the protests that are happening here in the u. S. China is taking a different approach and we saw a spokesperson from Chinas Foreign Ministry speaking out and she took to twitter where she actually shared a broadcast from r. T. America which highlighted the contrast between how the trump ministration referred to those who take part in the riots here in the u. S. As thugs and those who take part in riots in hong kong as heroes then irans foreign minister added to the mix also on twitter and responded by releasing a previous statement from the u. S. Where he made a few changes so that instead of claiming the people of iran are tired of the corruption and justice and incompetence from their leaders the statement targeted the u. S. Government and cited the American People so its interesting to see 2 of the main countries that the u. S. Has always criticizing for cracking down on protesting now being able to point out the hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is something that the u. S. Has known. Rachel and we know that this this administration the Trump Administration doesnt like to take the blame or much of anything right now weve heard from them the blame game being played with various various entities around whose fault it is that people are in the streets protesting who do you hear the white house is to blame as well as other nation leaders it was interesting to see that both current and former officials seem to be wanting to point just about anybody else other than who is actually to blame and who the people in the streets are calling to hold accountable and this is something that weve seen specifically during a recent interview from former National Security advisor susan rice and she said quote based on my experience this is right out of the russian playbook we cannot allow the extremists the former actors to distract from the real problems we have in this country now current National Security adviser raw. Obert obrien also backed up that statement and he said there right now the u. S. Is monitoring the online activities from china russia iran and even zimbabwe as to how theyre tied to the protest right now so its interesting to see that they are trying to look at how other countries are playing a role in these protests and really amping them up and sort of looking at whats happening and going on here at home it was a year the race of the route American History isnt enough to amplify and get black people in the streets but somehow these other nations are you know sporadically creating a certain measure didnt you realize a long time ago the rush is responsible for all of the racism in the United States that the United States government it was never once racist towards the book towards black folks in this country and theres none of them know that you know were a apparently involved way you know if youre so much for that report create great job but theres so much think.

We go to work see you street old. Is it real or is that fake should i stay or should i go now is it real or is it fake thats the question of our age. When ill show small seemed wrong when old rolls just dont hold. Any old belief yet to shape out disdainfully comes to educate and in gauge equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Neither of you know was a clip of she will blow your sleeve spoke up. The way its always with a k. Was a guy who more was on the late. You know. Thank you just the who did it to clear things up but. If the do get through to the. City they say yes. Yes. The work of a journalist is never done as a newspaper your primary job is to provide up to date Accurate Information to readers and viewers to speak truth to power and serve as a check on institutions leaders and to question the world around us at times the job of journalists puts their lives at risk or the reporting for war torn regions or reporting on protests and civil unrest right here at home throughout the protest an escalating aggression over the death of yet another unarmed black man journalist have endured arrest beatings shootings and many of those incidents were televised live for the world to see journalist on the ground in minneapolis ground 0 of the george boyd protest expressed anger and upset over how Law Enforcement officials seemingly took a page of President Trumps playbook choosing to target the media instead of allowing them to just do their jobs on friday night a journalist was shot in the eye while covering the protests another from a local n.

Welcomingly. Hello. Immolate weve seen protests against Police Brutality before rodney king look while macdonald protests were held in 100 cities in the wake of the Trayvon Martin verdict and i dont recall journalists being targeted by police like what were seeing in minneapolis right now what do you attribute this to and do you think president anti media rhetoric plays into this treatment. I think all around were seeing things very different right now because weve been in the middle of a Global Pandemic which is different for the protesters on the ground but also different for the police there was thought that we would have civil
