a solace and where are you what's happening. right hi right now i am in a neighborhood park in powder park right on lake street that. endured a lot of damage in the last few nights i came here because i got a message on facebook that our city count the city council member that represents this area along with a few other organizers were wanting to gather the neighborhood and come up with a plan to keep the neighborhood say i spoke with a few residents here in the crowd and they feel that if they feel very scared about what's happened in the last 4 nights in the city of minneapolis there are a laundry connell who is the 9th ward city council member pleaded with people in the crowd and said that immigrant businesses largely latino immigrant businesses that are on lake street are asking for the community's help they're asking for
8:06 pm
people to show up and and and keep guard as i drove around along lake street this morning to get to this meeting there were thousands of people cleaning up glass you know picking up trash so i think the mood right here here right now is one result and they also said that they are going to do everything that they can to protect the neighborhoods the neighborhood here and i also know that there were several other meetings just like this one all over the neighborhood all over the different neighborhoods in minneapolis and the neighborhood is the one that you're in right now. it's a very diverse neighborhood we have lots of my team though we have lots of indigenous people that live in this neighborhood a minneapolis has one of the highest concentration of indigenous urban indigenous people in the united states we also have a lot of latino businesses here we have a lot of somali people that live in this neighborhood so it's very mixed and i
8:07 pm
think the me the feeling right now is that the people a lot of people that i talked to feel that those who are doing the damage those who are doing the rioting and the looting are not people from this community that so how is the community get it you know come together to to protect these businesses this point putting people out on the streets overnight. i didn't see you know last night as i rode along lake st thomas on my bike which was one of the only ways that you could get around i did see people out front of their businesses i think that's exactly what's going to happen i think that's exactly what's going to happen is that people are going to be there standing in front of businesses i'm also patrolling their neighborhood block i heard some piers that some of the violence it's built over into the residential areas because you have to remember even though west even though lake street is a commercial corridor with a lot of businesses 2 or 3 blocks to the north and south our homes are
8:08 pm
you know apartment buildings are where people that actually work in those businesses let us know many thanks indeed to. reporting live from minneapolis u.s. president donald trump has been speaking about the protests within the last hour he's again threatened to deploy them in a tree. we get out of our military there very quickly we've got a got it. got a. good people. a lot of. it. going now to watch great. just hours earlier trumpet one protest as they've been confronted with what he calls all mothers weapons in a series of tweets the president said the demonstrators at the white house on friday were a big crowd professionally organized but nobody came close to breaching the fence he said if they had they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs and
8:09 pm
most ominous weapons i've ever seen that's when people would have been really badly hurt at least many secret service agency said it just waiting for action let's go live now to the white house our correspondent kimberly how cute is that as we heard that the president speaking out just a few moments ago saying these protesters from the radical left from anti for and that the military could be deployed against them what are we to make of that. well i double checked and did a little fact checking once i heard the president say that just to make sure i was correct and as i understand it i'm certainly not a legal expert but this issues come up before it violates the u.s. constitution to call the u.s. military to employ the u.s. military against u.s. citizens to enforce domestic policies and i think that's what he's suggesting there now there's no question that the national guard can be called in for support but in terms of deploying the military that is something that according to the posse come
8:10 pm
a top of the active $878.00 specifically limits the federal military against in forcing domestic policy as we saw this was the issue of immigration on the southern border in the last couple of years the suggestion again by the president but it's not something that he can do and certainly his power is very limited in that regard so i think it's important to clarify the u.s. president not always the most well versed on the u.s. constitution even as the u.s. president but he does like to make these provocative statements and it appears even if he does know it's erroneous what he's saying he'll say it anyways in order to try and get a response and i think that's been the big concern for many when it comes to this president in not only throughout his presidency but particularly in the last few days with regard to the death of george floyd the fact that the u.s. president has an opportunity to use his words to try and appeal division in this country but he does not do that in every opportunities given he seems to kind of
8:11 pm
double down on this sort of tough guy kind of act that seems to in many ways make matters worse so we're looking ahead now to the evening u.s. president down in florida where he's watching that potentially as space launch taking place although with some weather calls that may or may not happen but then after that at the white house this evening the u.s. president essentially rallied his supporters to stage a counter protest at the white house this would be on the heels of a very tense situation just lie. last night friday evening here in washington where one point the secret service use riot gear and shields to push the antitrust protesters back away from the white house so this president has essentially rallied these people over social media whether or not they will show up the u.s. president spoke to that say he's not exactly clear but i can tell you as a result of these words the white house remains in a heightened state of security a white house correspondent kelly how reporting live from washington can be many

8:13 pm
structural racism in american policing and people have run out of options when it comes to how to weigh their voices how to communicate the one thing that i think is really important in this moment is to remember when george clooney was dying on the street with a show opens in his neck everyone who stood there in that same community asked politely there was no violence there were no no molotov cocktails they spoke to those close officers very clearly and said stop what you're doing you're killing him and so we have to really think about what does it mean to try to do something the right way the lawful way the respectable way and it doesn't work. a weather update thanks to our 0 then battle on the border the killing of an army officer provokes post ethiopia.
