know the officer to be held accountable for his actions that is. local and federal authorities tried to lower the temperature at a joint press conference but instead raised eyebrows by asking the community to bring forth more evidence. we need the community's help there were people there on the scene not both that we could've done it by necessarily at the time we need to know who they are come forward if you have a video please share it we want to do it quickly as we can a thorough investigation to get answers to those questions in the hours that followed those words it soon became abundantly clear that for the black community of minneapolis justice is not being served fast enough our correspondent stefan seumas is in many of those and joins us now stuff on what's the situation there right. well i tell you what started as a peaceful protest maybe many hours ago has morphed into an all out riots and
11:04 am
looting buildings around me and you can see this right now you just can see behind me are on fire and whenever a building's fired burns down the another one is set ablaze people here are still very very angry and we talked to protesters and he had basically 2 different things number one the crowd who says people all over the world and in america the elites the politicians have to see this the violence the looting the riots to understand that they are fed up with things like they happened to george florida the other crowd says this is nothing to do with peaceful protesting against the killing off george off george florida and as you can see emotions are running high . so those 2 groups are both here and watching buildings burning
11:05 am
down police not inside and the national guard 500 national guard members are supposed to be deployed here but i have seen any stuff and the people protesting there are clearly very angry but who or what are they directing their anger at. police at the police there's a deep rooted deep rooted mistrust and anger against the police and b r or through the police and want to happen now to. the latest video. this translates also to at least 2 politicians to government city government state government as i said. people here the majority of people says this is exactly what the world needs to see buildings in flames anger and looting to understand that they are absolutely fed up and this is. nots and no place anymore that any cop
11:06 am
treats african-americans or people of color like this in their lives so if an aside from sending in the national guard what are authorities doing to address the grievances of the protestors. but of course officials in authorities promised a solid and in-depth investigation that they have to do this they have to take basically that time to not mess up an investigation to hold everything they find up and that it holds in court so that if those police officers are guilty they actually king. be punished for what they did this is not really understood or appreciated by protesters here they want quick action and they want to again a symbolic display off that they are absolutely absolutely fed up and all words of politicians or authorities in one way or another to calm him

down is basically wasted at this point that's what they tell us stefan thank you very much that was our reporter stefan seaman's there in minneapolis minnesota. president trumps latest response to the unrest in minneapolis has prompted twitter to flag another of his posts this time as glorifying violence in his tweets trump said quote these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't allow that to happen just spoke to governor tim waltz and told him that the military is with him all the way any difficulty and we will assume control but when the looting start starts the shooting starts thank you. trump's latest controversial tweet comes as the platform moved to fact check his comments the president else's twitter is biased against him he's signed an executive order that he says is aimed at checking social media's power to censor communications.
11:08 am
he calls it protecting free speech for the social media companies say it's a politicized approach to law donald trump's latest executive order is designed to strip social media companies of their existing immunity when it comes to content published on their platform. and choices their twitter makes when it used to suppress black shadow. our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter ceases to be a neutral public platform and they become an editor with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about others also this week twitter put fact check labels on 2 of the president's tweets that had unsubstantiated claims about voting by mail in the us 2 it is said it decided to do so because the content broke its rules on the key issue of voting trompette back and accuse twitter of
11:09 am
trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and stuff for free speach. the business and technology sector is the order could code freedom of speech across the internet while legal experts are warning that it conflicts with the existing law which only the congress and not the president can change it really is a complete misreading of section $230.00 it takes. a law that has been interpreted time and time again very very broadly by multiple federal circuit courts and just says i'm replacing all of this with my own interpretation that i have no right to give about how to interpret this that or a law and so i would know it's really not going to have any staying power in a court i may really is that if you have a piece of rhetoric of over that made it the old it would likely be challenged in court ahead of the november presidential election. so you look now at some of the
