a journalist in minneapolis and allison you live in the city you've been out on the streets while all this is being going on you know the city well just print the picture for us what's the scene. well i went out early this morning the 1st i will go to i text from. my ex partner who said his work was on fire and it's one of those businesses that is just getting a corner to the minneapolis 3rd precinct building so i went down bare and i talk with people i know who you know people that had been there all all you thinking i talked with one woman who was at that very difficult because you can really patients it's an indigent space where indigenous you know here in the city it's been there for over 40 plus years i talked with her last night i talked with her this morning and she said that she was there until about 2 in the morning about

2 to 3 tutoring in the morning and she saw no national guard or state trooper presence and that really the only people that were protecting that building were the american people and patrol that often goes and protects businesses indigenous land businesses or otherwise there in the twin cities she also told me that he tried to get the city to put up a gas and then the fire started around 5 this morning so it's an incredible while i went up the streets and a lot of i talked to the owner of our car repair shop in the flat out. this barber that shop for 40 here is our intel dismissively and so i'm going to a mechanic that work there right on the corner. and 31st just blocks away from that station and they were more like the windows inside the shop. and i

thought our professor our american history and asked him if he what he thinks is going to happen over the next few days and weeks that. it's more or less because here's a cross between here and ok but it's not going to jump in that big zone that we've heard from the minnesota government to address the states and he's pleaded for help and promised that justice would be swift and fair and said that we cannot have recklessness that we saw last night in the burning that we saw last night let's just listen to him for a 2nd in the come back to i understand clearly there is no trust in many of our communities and the differentiation between the minneapolis police department that we witnessed losing trust of those they're there to serve is very difficult for people to make for those standing up here with me i understand that and i will not patronize you as a white man without living those those lived experiences of how very difficult that

is but i'm asking you to help us help us use humane way to get the streets to a place where we can restore the justice so that those that are expressing rage and anger and demanding justice are heard so that was in the minnesota government to move to you will know well clearly wants to draw a line under these protests but do you think people people in the streets will listen i don't know i have from what i heard from what i think people are talking about when i was out there i i don't know i'm not sure that message just going to carry i think i'm richard listen to your art you heard that ricin was also on he's an african-american. general he also pleaded for home but i'm not sure you know i'm not sure we were present at the national guard how much there's going to

be i think people are very they're expecting another night are protests. all right alison well we do appreciate your time in telling us the give us the update of the situation there are many up listen there are thanks a lot thank you so much well let's take a look now at what president trump tweeted about the protests 1st warning the minneapolis mess to get his act together and then writing that these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and he won't let that happen trump says he told the minnesota governor that the military is with him all the way any difficulty and we will assume control but he said when the looting starts the shooting starts can be held at the white house and she says that trumps comments have sparked a backlash from activists. the u.s. president for his part has tweeted again in the last a few moments saying that the national guard has arrived on the scene they are in minneapolis and fully prepared george floyd will not have died in vain respect his

memory so that is the latest message by the u.s. president to the protesters in minneapolis now of course when it comes to the national guard and deploying we've certainly seen it more recently in this country particularly back in 2014 when the national guard was deployed to ferguson missouri for tensions there and then few of the civic leaders and the civil rights activists sort of after action some years later is that essentially when the national guard went in this only made things worse it was heavily militarized against american citizens and their right to protest and so this is the fear now as the u.s. president says that the national guard is on the scene fully prepared that's the fear that these tensions are going to only further escalate in fact the a.c.l.u. or the american civil liberties. union has issued

a statement to regard to that saying that the words of the president are hypocritical of moral illegal gross disregard for racial terror and with respect to sending in the national guard we call in the national guard and law enforcement to comply with the law and not president trump but a t.v. crew reporting on the protests in minneapolis was arrested live on camera have a look at this do you know why i am under arrest for why and why am i under arrest about is c.n.n. reporter my human is who was showing demonstrators being detained live on t.v. and he along with the production team within a school to the way by police despite offering to move to a different location he has since been released and he spoke to the network about his experience. it did cross my mind that what is really happening here and the one thing that gave me a little bit of comfort was that it happened on live t.v. there's been this you know when you talk within the community about let's just say

what's happened with george floyd there's always a discussion that what's happening isn't new it's being films and that speaks to the power of having something happen on camera because you can have people speak up for you without you saying anything and that gave me a little bit of comfort knowing that you guys saw what was happening i was living what was happening and the country was seeing what was happening unfold in real time right before their eyes you don't have to doubt my story it's not filtered in any sort of way you saw it for your own eyes. still ahead here on al-jazeera taiwan's president emphasizes with the people of hong kong despite a warning of military action by china. delivering food to the desperate including one who hadn't eaten for moving to a coronavirus is making like an even bleaker in parts of the.

time this happens people seem to say ok this is going to be the moment that the real change will come that we cannot take this anymore we kind of acceptance and fill the need to say the right things but it doesn't happen as we as we've already said but you think this time it could be a different we've been here dozens of time or hundreds of times or 4000 times were really perfectly honest black life clear is she in there and there is not the same level of depth so she is with the murder of a black youth. is there then the. other in particular this was one of them. and so you know this is an outrage and though people are definitely responding to the rage which i would argue. biog will rage.
