1:02 pm
protesters marched against systemic racism and police brutality. all these voices are here because the same thing keeps happening over and over again it's the new lynching you know and it's new coded language in a way that our president represents himself in and has a following of k.k.k. members you know all this stuff. across the country a wave of anger has been leashed. i think we're at a tipping point to be honest with you i think that. i think this is what happens when you have. hundreds of years of oppression. hundreds of years of peaceful protests that seemingly accomplish nothing we have been discriminating against my entire life so like i'm used to the trayvon martin i'm used to that on my arteries so i'm just tired of the i'm tired of the narrative i'm tired of the hash tag right there we're all still scenes of unity as officers
1:03 pm
showed their solidarity with the protesters i am sure going to have a right. this is a top down. but in washington tensions spike outside the white house as the president blamed left extremists and infiltrators for the on breast. radical left criminals thugs and others all throughout our country and throughout the world will not be allowed to set communities ablaze. we won't let it happen. it harms those who have the least. but some experts say there is also evidence of far right extremists stoking the violence the president's response has drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle with some calling for a measured response to the crisis. all right well let's talk about the ongoing
1:04 pm
protests and the political implications in the us 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 of all i understand that you were in l.a. during the brutal police attack on rodney king and the ensuing on rest 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
1:05 pm
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 affecting african-americans many of them were workers they're 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 he for the african-american community they had enough other people who want to support human rights and just common decency in 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.
1:06 pm
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 lead the country very well since he's been in power because he doesn't really have any political experience and instead what he 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 the generalized white nationalist thought and we see 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 to stop this but the problem with president is it's always all about
1:07 pm
him he takes to everything very personal personally and his advisors have been trying to tell and this is about larger systemic rotter issues and a history of racism in the us and the needs to respond with kindness with compassion something that he has lacked but he's been for the most part pretty absent here 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. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world tropical storm amanda has battered el salvador killing at least 14 people the government has declared a state of emergency after heavy rains and hours old winds triggered flash floods and landslides cut power and lost hundreds of people homeless the 1st storm of the
