Greetings and salutation. Well weve been subjected to a lot of bad this week from the president ial sanction violence committed on Peaceful Protesters were basically amounted to a Trump Campaign photo op to the brutal uses of tear gas riot shields and rubber bullets on Peaceful Protesters and journalists in new york city and los angeles and almost every major u. S. City inbetween. There has also my friends been some bright shining moments of beauty and good amidst all of that i mean you could you could practically hear a sigh of relief echo across the country with news that iowa Congressional Republican and universally agreed upon terrible human being steve king lost his primary race on tuesday night. Good feeling to know one less racist in congress but these early winds of change my friends are not just blowing across the United States of america as n. P. R. Reports u. S. Protesters rallying against the killing of george floyd and kahless other black americans are being heard around the world as demonstrators launch their own protests in the countries in countries such as the United Kingdom germany canada iran and new zealand and many more but its not only showing support for the racially and financially oppressed underclass here in the United States that has brought many of these global activists to the streets its also the violence that Law Enforcement agencies have perpetrated in their own countries yahoo news reports that protesters are also calling for domestic chart changes in france there are demonstrations in response to the killing of black frenchman adama tarrar in 2016 and in australia protesters are calling for the government to reexamine the treatment of Aboriginal Peoples and this includes our neighbors to the north and canada were toronto is currently reeling from the death of 29 year old black woman regis core chimpsky park cat who mysteriously fell to her death from her 24th floor apartment balcony after police were called to her apartment. So today my friends lets examine the black lives Matter Movement outside of u. S. Borders as we look at canadas reaction the Police Violence against minorities as we start watching all this. If you want to know whats going on on a cd street you want to see them so you can see the prizes you always stay on see. Mass graves see this least systemic deception is the late show which. Brings up the deal as. Well were going to watching the. Madness across joining us now to discuss the latest on the mysterious death of 29 year old black regis cortins keep kept after trying to police were called to her home is r t correspondent in toronto alex male a bitch thank you for joining us alex. Thanks for having me so alex please explain to our viewers what we know so far about the events leading up to this woman was why were Police Called to her home and what were the and what are they saying took place the lead her to her death her fall. While what were still waiting to hear from the Toronto PoliceServices SpecialInvestigations Unit they usually look into cases like this where theres some discrepancy of what exactly went down but let me tell you something theres been a media leak from the toronto sun and this is basically the story that they are seeing what theyre saying happened here so miss packet has had some mental issues in the past her mother called the police to come because of a domestic dispute when the Police Arrived what they did at that point is actually separate the mother and brother from this pocket herself to go inside to the bathroom couple Police Officers went inside the apartment with her somebody stayed outside with the mother and brother and then out one point she bolted for the balcony according to toronto sun report she put some appliance to block that door of the balcony when a Police Officer saw that they basically ran to get to another apartment and looked like she was trying to get from one apartment about to another and before they could make it she fell to her death now from that account it looks like police were actually trying to help her. But the situation merits those some some interest in it this is a situation where you have somebody with a history of Mental Health issues it does not look like its necessarily tied to racism per se but that said we have had protests in the city because of this issue that were tied directly to george floyd and what has happened in the United States and when you take it to that level again when we talk about merit this is not without merit seeing that we do have our issues here in this country we do know that racism is systematic in canada our own premier here in ontario doug ford. Also said that out loud after denying it in the beginning we do know we have an issue when you look at our Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau in black face just a few years ago and of course a number media picked up on that we do know we have an issue when a former Opposition LeaderStockwell Day has just basically dismissing this and just the whole way the conservative element in this country is looking in to what has happened here in the past its like im saying systematic racism and were talking about anti black racism this is the issue of the day we know we have the same issues with aboriginal communities and other communities but lets talk about whats on the table here all you need to do is go to social media see my fellow canadians on there and you recognize you can recognize right from the 1st point that there is race of racism in this country as much as we hate to hear it. Alex theres a lot to unpack here to help us with the current status of the investigation into the Toronto Police actions on that day. So what the police are doing right now they were supposed to talk to the family of miss halkett this week basically wrap all this up but with the toronto sun leak what police are saying is that they are pushing this further back and it looks like we will have some information by next week from the s. R. U. Itself as it stands and there seems to be some sort of you know there is looking at this report and there is something definitely there for people protesting were going to see where that goes i mean if this does turn into something that is other than what this story is saying well then you know its going to be just like in the states the people will have a reason to protest something thats it that does actually directly tie to racism but i sense as i said as it stands right now it seems to have nothing to do with racism and more to do with a Mental Health issue of an individual something that also Police Forces need to be very sensitive to and thats when theyre approaching people that have these type of problems in their life. Thank you very much alex for joining us today and giving us that breakdown in that case i think its definitely one the watch given the given as you said the nature of racism that we see in canada and around the globe that spacing a lot of Different Police departments thank you so much sir. Thank you. America remains in chaos more than a week after the death of George Floyd Protests from coast to coast and here in the Nations Capital hoping to put an end to Police Brutality and to push forward the black lives Matter Movement here now are some of the most powerful moments weve witnessed in the past few days and i will put a disclaimer on them they are raw they are real and they are violent. Yet you. Know you cant give them is if you want them there youre not going to be here. Its like your time cant breathe. Obvious cant we cant say we cant do anything we cant drive without being in fear we can even call the cops for our safety. Ok great. Great great great big. Her our Public Servants but all in philadelphia in that moment its going. To become good im going to write. The. Law. Breakers made. Comes from. God like it was pressuring. Me. But you just see. The. Situation. Doesnt. Cut in that regard it is a federal form to cross state lines or to use get your state facilities to shyte the purpose of incitement. The influence. And i just feel you know this is not theres a meaningful higher level that is silent that they dont stay silent anymore and that you know this so to speak about this because each of these things are important and we do need to speak about this because they we keep trying if things are just going to stay the way they are come up get out get out right. Joining us now also from tronic out of the to bring us a deeper look into the case that we were discussing earlier with alex male image and how it has affected the community im trying to as well as the world as writer activists andre dont miss it andre thank you so much for joining us and i want to start and ask you what bothers you and others in toronto so deeply about the Police Action surrounding this park caps death and what questions desperately need to be need to be answered at this moment. Well unfortunately this is all too common we we had a gentleman by the name of angelo q who is experiencing a Mental Health episode and police were called to the building where he was exterior were and experience the episode shortly afterwards he was shot to death not for a log of wood on them but name of the underage campbell wouldnt be a brampton area which is just outside of toronto suburban area was also apparently experiencing a Mental Health of the sower some sort of servants and when the Police Showed up he was shot to death and now we see it again where the circumstances behind behind the packet steps are still up to the special Investigations Unit its still and push right now the fact of the matter is police were called to the home of somebody he was experiencing went to hope it was so happens so. Its unfortunate that when people of the Family Member or friends or partners with some Years Experience about the so. It is going or going through then to have questions as to whether it could even Call Emergency Services what can happen what could be the end result of that. And andre we know here in america that americans have a very long sordid in pretty troubled history with u. S. Law enforcement not only for people of color but also Indigenous Peoples and weve hard time and time again that there is such a push to have these people often go to. A place like canada that theme has so much better in terms of its handling of race how prevalent is racism in canada Law Enforcement community. Well i dont even really know what to tell you when people say things like you know its different to canada dont have the same kind of racism that exists in the United States unfortunately it doesnt help when our elected officials of people they come from your dog fort of ontario which is the most up populous province in canada. France where they go the other premier deny that stomach reaches them its even a thing that exists but we know it does because this is just sick spirit out that were terrible it collecting data get it were awful like collecting statistics but what we do shows step there are disproportionate about the Police Violence that are used especially d on not on black people in the one in which in this people these arent conjectures these are plain facts weve had marches in canada not only for black wise but also foreigners in this lives we have have proof that there is a genocide but at the Indigenous People in canada the young men especially from the genus communities do you think this report events of Police Violence so when people in the United States and elsewhere talk about racism being different in canada i have to ask what are you talking about thats a great question to ask you know i want to finish up weve got a little bit of minute left we seem incredible response across the globe to the black lives Matter Movement here in the u. S. In light of joy george lloyds death why do you think that countries like canada other countries around the world are so embrace in this movement were seeing protests all over the world right now. Will this is putting a spark to the few black racism not only in the United States but literally around the world which you know even can you can find replicate so that sort of a basis but is this need a state you can find it you know it can be done you can find it in the mainland europe you can find in countries like south africa still its still a problem we like to believe that weve made strides of progress in that racism is the thing of the past and unfortunately. If you have if you talk to people from black near news just about anywhere in the world they will tell you you know like this didnt just go away because there were some social science made i think what youre seeing right now is the order to scrolling away the idea that racism is a little longer a problem when you look at the fact that there are protests happening in every part of the states and. Were coming up for a reason it is that that is so true i want to thank you very much for coming on and really highlighting this for us and hope to have you back on again soon thank you so much for all the good work that youre doing covering these issues as well and right. Thank you. Art as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the locks on the man through the brand new portable t. V. Up available on all platforms coming up the n. F. L.

Going to separate the treasury for. Its protests continue in the wake of the george boyd work weve seen Officers National guardsmen people of all races and backgrounds joining in solidarity some are taking me others are marching alongside protestors and giving voice to the voices. But the solidarity doesnt stop there the race issues in america are also receiving support from professional sports coaches and players too Even International in v. A. Icon Michael Jordan known for his effort to get in action in social Justice Movements is taking a stand and an interesting show of protest support also came from n. F. L.
