on strangleholds that put people's lives a wrist now we can argue that these are used as exceptions but at the end of the day karate hold that literally is designed to stop people's blood from flowing into their brain and has no place any longer 21st century practices and policing and our kristen salumi has more on the changes being made by new york state new york's state government the governor of new york andrew cuomo unveiled his police reform proposal calling it the say their name bill you see at a lot of these demonstrations the practice of repeating the names of people who have died unnecessarily at the hands of police the most recent of course being george floyd so in that honor and in that tradition he called it the say their name bill and it takes a number of steps that demonstrators have been calling for including banning chokeholds more transparency with police records if they have
7:03 am
a history of misconduct that should be made public demonstrators say this would do that criminalizing 911 calls that are falsely based on race is another aspect of this and also appointing the state attorney general to investigate police killings police murders that is something that. will be respected by the demonstrators because the concern is that normally these are cases that are prosecuted by local district attorneys the very same people that these police work with on a daily basis to prosecute crimes or some say that's a conflict of interest well bill fletcher is an activist rights and also executive editor of global african whacker dot com he says conversations about the role of police in a democratic society have been long. one of the things that is critical to understand is that in the late 1960 s. when then president richard nixon launched his war against crime. the end of
7:04 am
and war against drugs the whole. scheme of a war against. increasingly led to the militarization of the police department so the police department wasn't even going paying the lip service to serve and protect it was increasingly becoming a paramilitary outfit and by the period early 2000 that actually and laid it into the federal government providing police departments with surplus military equipment well when you have police that are armed like troops are provided with tanks heavy weapons except for that is going to have an impact it's going to accelerate and already author a terror intensity within more forces and i think that that's what we've been
7:05 am
seeing over the years so it's not about just ending the choko. it's about real public oversight it's about demilitarizing the police it's about changing the relationship between police and communities and now washington d.c. is nat has requested that the words of black lives nasa be painted as a giant mural along the street that leads up to lafayette square and the white house the goal is to send a message that the city stands of with the protest movement that's comes just days after president trying to order the park police and national guard troops to forcefeed dispatched peaceful protests along that street outside the white house. now n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell has apologized for the way the u.s. football league handled players' protests against racial inequality and police brutality colin kaepernick and others began kneeling in 2016 before games as the national anthem was being played kappa nick was then fired from his team the san
7:06 am
francisco 49 ers and has never been hired since google posted a video saying that the league should have listened to black players concerns we played national typically. racism systematical british black people we the national football league if we won't for not listening genital players earlier and encourage all to speak out peacefully protests read the national football league believe lives matter well that about turn comes after a group of an n.f.l. players released this video on social media. for one of us to be murdered by police brutality perhaps. all the players also demanded that the n.f.l. should specifically say that black lives matter. xavier pope is a legal analyst and a contributor to forbes dot com earlier i spoke to him and he told me that he told
7:07 am
to try to explain to me why the n.f.l. chose to make this statement now and whether or not it goes far enough it's because roger goodell the national football league. up in arms bernie by any. unrests even more personality in the streets by police officers like you solved in buffalo new york of the 75 year old man bushnell or and we've seen a weighting of white people in this country that no longer based on what we saw with amy cooper with a burger in new york and using white privilege to try to weaponize that against a black man christian group or is that it's no longer fight club that used to be white glove for white and. that. this white privilege that it was enjoy to ignore the by a black people no longer can happen in the morning and so are the bell he comes out this looks like more p.r. he's responding to what players have said and not to the player who started all
7:08 am
rock college happening he never mentions collin county and he mentions the players this is what in roger goodell is afraid that the same protests that have gripped our cities across america will grow in a fellow stadiums when enough though season begins so is why to get out is really sincere about his apology he would have he would ask all of 32 member team owners in africa all the 2 or written apology to our encampment there also donate money to know your rights campaign which is it was involved with collaborate with minnesota organizations. to be able to provide legal assistance for those who've been arrested for protests and lastly the n.f.l. in addition to owing him apology and owing him for money to pay into the the causes that he actually champion would be neil 4 years ago would be to give him a job and so right now roger goodell's cinema seems pretty hollow at this point.
7:09 am
well president donald trump says the u.s. economy is bouncing back from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic that's after the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 13 percent but there was little change for african-americans while the economy also regained $2500000.00 jobs in the month of may economists are warning that the crisis is far from over his rebuttal. u.s. unemployment declined slightly from its highest levels during the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic as some businesses and factories reopened president donald trump was quick to claim credit saying the economy is taking off as he put it like a rocket ship will go back to having the greatest economy anywhere in the world nothing close some economists disagree saying the economy is still staggering and millions of workers still suffering it's a small blip in what is another wise belleek jobless picture i think it's important
7:10 am
to remember that we had the highest level of unemployment the u.s. census the 2nd world war last month the picture in some groups likely since then we've added about 2 and a half 1000000 jobs but it is important remember that there are still 19600000 workers who are and remain an important religious to the situation in february before the corona crisis hits the crisis is still a part of us in a bizarre twist trump tried to connect the unemployment numbers to the killing of george cloyd by police with a positive spin and hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country there's a great day for him it's a great day for everybody presumptive democratic presidential nominee joe biden called trump's reference to floyd despicable and criticized him for boasting about
7:11 am
the jobs report i was disturbed over to see the president crowing this morning. basically hanging a mission accomplished banner out there when there's so much more work to be done. so many americans are still heard trump also claimed full slee that he had ordered the country to shut down during the pandemic in fact he resisted the shutdown and criticized governors who issued stay at home orders the u.s. says nearly 2000000 confirmed covert 19 infections and more than 110000 people have died c infection rates have not claimed adequately. new cases appear to be growing in many areas of the country this is threatening to drive us into another surge of cases in the fall or center and that's going to cause another lock down in the economy. speculators on wall street cheered the unemployment
7:12 am
numbers driving share prices sharply higher investors' exuberance is strikingly disconnected from the death toll remaining joblessness and more than a week of nationwide protest and outrage. later trump visited a factory in maine that produces swabs for covert 19 tests as usual he didn't wear a mask rob reynolds al jazeera stephen pitts and is an associate tat at the center for laborous at an education at the university of california back home he says while the number of unemployed black people has increased it will be several months before the true impact of the crowd of. even in a normal situation it's really bad to look at a month number for black unemployment and drawing sort of conclusions because it should be quite volatile month to month really need a longer 3 a 4 month tremendous and was actually happening that cautionary note is amplified
7:13 am
now given the public a problem in the mash crash and the economy itself to a lot of reasons some of tenneco is not really clear exactly what is the level of unemployment nor the level after job creation itself and most important for that americans and in the entire country to try to find ways to soften the pain of the economic pain people a facing now how do you speed up the coverage self and sort of pull over it will months change one way or the other is the material given the magnitude of the probably no we're facing for the most part of the exam numbers for last 50 plus years to see if there is consistent ratio of black unemployment at $1.00 to $1.00 and since we know those numbers exist for the i'm. in across to the sort of economies and. now that the time that that is the signal problem is a lack of power or a black workers and so to really address these issues most important thing to find is that opposed to that in for the hour like
