12:01 pm
and landmarks we'll take a look at his life and why. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us there's been another night of unrest in the u.s. with protests in dozens of cities after the death of a black man in police custody the national guard has been deployed in a number of states curfews were extended in major cities as police struggle to contain the situation and there's been a memorial for george floyd in minneapolis where he died a week ago. all right well let's talk about the ongoing protests and the political implications in the u.s. natasha lynch that is a political scientist and professor of international relations and comparative politics at the university of essex in england natasha thank you for joining us 1st
12:02 pm
of all i understand that you were in l.a. joining the brutal police attack on rodney king and the ensuing unrest there how do you compare what you saw then to the protests we're seeing now. well that's true them originally from california and i remember there was tremendous tension during the bing king riots but the big difference is those riots lasted about a week and they weren't really nation why of course the tensions would carry on and continue because california is one of the states where there's disproportionate number of african-americans that are killed by the police compared to whites. but as those tensions continue to to fester we see nothing like what we have right now where we have 140 cities you have protests going on there are course riots taking place and we can see that the african-american community is absolutely fed up this is on the heels of the fact that the cove it 19 has been disproportionately also
12:03 pm
affecting african-americans many of them were key workers they are dying in larger numbers they feel that they have been neglected they're incredibly frustrated and once again there's another case of them police brutality i mean many of these cases you just don't see on camera like the rodney king case that was on karen's very visual very gripping and this case with george floyd was caught on camera just after another african american was shot while jogging by x. police officers think the african-american community they had enough other people who want to support human rights and just common decency and the u.s. have had enough and that's why we're seeing this being so explosive it's very different because it's also taking place in the trump era what what about the u.s. president i mean he's not addressed the public has not sought to calm tensions to this point how much is this crisis now testing his ability to lead the country. well he hasn't been able to really leave the country very well since he's been in power because he doesn't really have any political experience and instead what he
12:04 pm
tends to do is just bully people and shout out rhetoric and we've seen that he's fanned the flames of of racism he's tried to legitimize white nationalist thought and we see that one of the worst times in his presidency was in charlottesville where he called both sides good people when white nationalists were protesting was seen really no leadership in this case as well he did tweet if there is looting there will be shooting these types of tweets are not helpful in fact his advisors have told him he needs to stop this but the problem with president is it's always all about him he takes to everything very personal personally and his advisors have been trying to tell him this is about larger systemic rather issues and a history of racism in the us in the needs to respond with kindness with compassion something that he has lacked but he's been for the most part pretty absent here
12:05 pm
other than making some threatening tweet we haven't seen anyone or any efforts vary from president trump to to try to heal the nation after these riots have taken place because of yet another african-american male being the victim of police violence all right now tussle instead a political scientist from the university of essex thank you so much for joining us thanks for having me. so during the protests on sunday in minneapolis a truck drove through a crowd of protesters on a highway overpass miraculously it appears that only one person was slightly injured. blaring this is the moment a truck barreled into a large crowd of protesters in minneapolis who somehow managed to get out the way. the highway was packed with demonstrators at the time they then swarm the truck and try to get at the driver. police used tear gas to disperse the crowd that had
