trump tower 2016 how come you didn't mention that meeting to congress and i did i don't know if i got the transcript wrong. i don't think hear that sharp that you can tell the difference between a polish guy a french guy or your charming head to head on a jersey or. welcome back or come out of our top stories here this hour there's been a 6 day of protests against police brutality across the united states hundreds gathered again in minneapolis where it all started to denounce the death of george floyd he was killed by a white police officer who know from his neck for almost 9 minutes last month in.
2:36 am
new york city's mayor says an investigation will be conducted after a police car was seen running protesters behind a barricade before to say more than 300 people were arrested in demonstrations while 33 police officers were injured. and u.s. president donald trump is blaming the anti fascist group on tea for the violence across the country he also said on twitter will be designated as a terrorist organization. while the justice for george floyd campaign has gone global with people in london also showing their support thousands of protesters gathered outside the u.s. embassy some held signs reading the u.k. is not innocent the rally was organized by the local chapter of black lives matter other events are planned elsewhere in the u.k. but in barber reports from outside the u.s. embassy in london. before sunday's protest here in london the city's mayor said he can put out a tweet reminding people that coronavirus was still around or that they should stay home if possible that wasn't a direct reference to the demonstration but what happened was people weren't
2:37 am
deterred by any perceived risk they turned out in their many many hundreds in trafalgar square in the center of london. chanting things like no justice no peace like lives matter say my name george floyd all things which we've heard in the us some of them kneeling down they were eventually moved on by police and made their way through westminster past downing street the official residence of prime minister boris johnson a small group there chanted against him accusing him of being racist for his perceived use of racist language in the past they then made their way here to the us embassy for a while at least and there's a lot of anger but by and large the protest was peaceful i've seen a few arrests throughout the day but generally people were commenting on how the protest was good natured this is all against the backdrop of what people say is a misunderstanding here that there's only police brutality against black people in the us whereas people here point out that there have been incidents of deaths of
2:38 am
black men in power in police custody over the last few decades with very little numbers of them convictions or prosecutions against police officers so that was behind the passion that you saw on the streets of london and other cities in the u.k. on sunday what china is using the racial unrest in american cities to criticize u.s. action on hong kong politicians and state media comparing the riots to the anti-government movement in hong kong there's one editor of a pro chinese government newspaper wrote. he said u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi once called the bond protests in hong kong a beautiful sight to behold well u.s. politicians can now enjoy the sight from their own window it's difficult holland has the reaction from hong kong. chinese state media has been giving blanket coverage to the events unfolding in the united states telling its viewers that this is what democracy looks like the global times seen as
2:39 am
a mouthpiece for the communist government it prints in both english and in chinese and is a major source of news within the country and outside the country has been publishing some very pointed at a tory also attacking the politicians which had supported the hong kong protests now a lot of articles have also been drawing parallels between what's happening in the united states and the hong kong pro-democracy protests which unfolded last year where there were many scenes of violent confrontations between the police and protesters and the editorials are asking the u.s. politicians like microamp a nancy pelosi and even donald trump whether they stand with the violent protesters and writers of minneapolis as they stood with the protesters of hong kong using a very popular chant during the hong kong protest now they're also asking whether you know pointing out that china did not send in any army or any threat of
2:40 am
the army coming into hong kong while there were almost daily protests but you know within days of protests in the united states the president had said that they would be calling in the national guard and even possibly the army so they're trying to draw parallels between what's happening in the u.s. and what was happening in hong kong and pointing fingers saying that asking what kind of support there is in calling them hypocritical now for decades incidence of excessive force being used against black people in the u.s. led talk of reform but very little action in march 1901 video of rodney king being beaten in los angeles was broadcast around the world the acquittal of officers involved spot days of riots in february 2012 trayvon martin was shot dead by a member of the neighborhood watch group quickly the suspect. the launch of the black lives matter movement there were several high profile deaths in over and police officers in 2014 including eric garner michael brown and 12 year old tommy rice and 2015 friday gray died in
2:41 am
a police van in baltimore one in the custody of 6 officers just over a year later fernando castiel was shot and killed during a traffic stop where tricia rose is director of the center for the study of race and ethnicity in america brown university she explained the groundswell of anger unleashed by the death of george floyd. i think you know it's very important when we're thinking about the response to this incident where mr floyd was killed that we really understand how systematic and pervasive the deep violence that black people face at the hands of police have been all around the country and it's impossible to speak to what the community feels in minneapolis if we only think about what's happened there in isolation it's extremely important that we understand that this is a historical and ongoing factor and a nationwide fact and this is not wanting rogue cops is not wanted 2 or 3 rogue cops across new york but in fact assisted
2:42 am
a systematic relationship where black people are considered threatening and worthy of extreme violence and this is a common practice so to to begin to understand this we have to put it both in historical context and in terms of a collective black trauma around state sponsored violence that usually goes completely on punished this is what happened in ferguson right it was a full nearly a military response you know local police forces around the country have been rewarded with military grade equipment the kinds of equipment you would normally see only in an international war contests and there was extreme levels of containment and violence as if people exercising their civil rights to freedom of expression and to gather in public to protest were and were a threat to the nation rather than the very rights that the nation is designed to protect but that's the logic of what it means to face a state violence when you're
2:43 am
a black community even if whites and others are participating it's when it's understood as a racial crime that you begin to see this kind of extreme violent response that said it is my understanding that there were also many instigators involved in minneapolis and perhaps. in other cities around the country as well and more data on that may come up as the weeks bare out but what that means is that you could have you know right extreme right wing violent groups who are infiltrating the protest community in the cities that are protesting and those infiltrators are stoking violence and encouraging a violent response for which black people will pay the highest price well police in some u.s. cities have taken a different tactic with protesters by joining them. sheriff in flint michigan told protesters we're with you on want to make this protest to parade
2:44 am
before he joined the march and call gables florida and santa cruz california police knelt during a rally oppose made famous by the football at colin kaepernick in response to police brutality against black people in other states police have banners with statements against violence and racism. so you got a voice that's it was. he represents. all over the county and around we go up there to help people do that nonsense there was. no man right there were 3 gentlemen. we want to be with you for real so i took my helmet off to play the protest. i want to make this a parade. 6 was. so
