8:04 pm
no trust in many of our communities and the differentiation between the minneapolis police department that we witness 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 let's hear now from out of thin air or who is a journalist in minneapolis and she spoke to about their short time ago. we're just a couple blocks away from a bunch of businesses and the library and the police station that was burned down last night there's the national guard there the minnesota state troopers and
8:05 pm
there's it's very tense there's a bunch of people on the corner that are confronting that are yelling and talking trying to talk to the national guard right now i talked with the university of minnesota professor earlier who is here he teaches african-american studies are met . and he said told me when i asked him you know if he if he thought that there was going to be more protest and i read that and tell that that the feeling was very raw and very people are really angry and unless there is some . word that they're going to get a conviction or that the officers are going to be charged that there are going to still be more protests and more demonstrations so. you know last night was another night of looting and building bird and violence this is my neighborhood this is the longfellow neighborhood i've lived here for almost 20 years i've never i haven't seen the city like this before. let's look at what president trump tweeted about
8:06 pm
the protests 1st warning the minneapolis match to get his act together and writing that these thugs 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 that when the looting starts he said the shooting stops can we help it is it the white house and she says that trumps comments to spark the 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
8:07 pm
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. and washington post investigation shows that black people in the united states more than twice as likely to be killed
8:08 pm
by police as white people told ford's death is just the latest incident this year in march brianna taylor was shot 8 times by police as she lay in bed plainclothes officers entered her kentucky home in the middle of the night without warning this month a sudanese american man yassin mohammed was shot dead in georgia after several encounters with police can say he may have been suffering from mental health problems also in georgia police are accused of delaying the investigation into the killing of dzhokhar because one of the suspects has links to law enforcement well earlier i spoke to just a weaver who is the president and chief executive of insight on limited which is a consulting firm focusing on race gender and inclusion and i started by asking him about the history of these police killings this is a constant correct that we live under in this nation and it's very much front of mind really understand that though we have built. and we've been
8:09 pm
a part of this nation program for centuries that we've never been fully given the free rights of citizenship to be able to navigate this nation using our personal space in the same way that our white art. there is nothing that anyone can tell me that would convince me that a white man. to death in the way that this particular rimmer happened and now. and certainly if it were. you know on a basketball that the murderers there will be great and that's where they are where every time this happens people seem to say ok this is going to be the moment but the real change will come that we cannot take this anymore we cannot accept it and all the leaders say the right things. but it doesn't happen as we as we've already said but you think this time it could be
8:10 pm
a different we've been here dozens of time or hundreds of times 4000 times we're really early on a black ally clearly is he in america and there is not the same level of justice associated with the murder of black people in america then it is with other in particular what people want to hear. and so so this is an outrage and though people are definitely responding to the rage where we are not yet by our global rage. the bottom line is i think that the mission to do what's right been bored but a t.v. crew reporting on the protests in minneapolis was arrested live on camera jolo i am under arrest or why why am i under arrest that's a c.n.n.
8:11 pm
reporter and while human is who was showing demonstrators being detained on t.v. he along with the production team scored his away by police despite offering to move to a different location he's since been released and 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
