didn't hold hands. they're behaving like this protest is very important even though i haven't personally witnessed what is happening in the u.s. and elsewhere i do hear about it and i am shocked the same goes for some cities around here was an official of the tech refugees it's unbearable to me that if we hadn't this hemisphere the apartment exaggerating divisive the us is. with. us for problems we are discussing here and to be more than an agent changes over g 2 plus thought this event may have been held in solidarity with the black largest metal movement in the us but germany too has its challenges. recent official figures showed the number of hate crimes in the country is increasing even if it has many germans concerned like here in the

eastern city of lights where hundreds joined the protest. this time organizers put an emphasis on social distancing towards scenes like this. this demonstration in berlin where we could go to criticism for not sticking to guidelines aimed at stopping the spread of coverage 19. standing for course always doing serious in this new era these demonstrators proved both can be done at the same time. police in atlanta georgia shot dead a black man after a scuffle at a fast food restaurant on saturday the police chief quickly resigned and the officer who shot him dead has been fired the victim of racial brooks is said to have resisted arrest after failing a sobriety test security video shows he was shot while running from police and holding one of their stun guns i think you've had too much to drink to be drives approach as one of. these of the last 20 minutes of racial group since life.
10:04 pm
body camera footage released by atlanta's police department show a scuffle before mr brooks attempted to flee with a police taser then the deadly shots. just moments barely of the 27 year old was recorded speaking to the offices who had found him in his car outside a wendy's restaurant. there were no. lawyers representing racial brooks's families say the officers weren't justified to use deadly force even if he had fired a taser in their direction i've had cases where officers have tasers on victims. or that tasers are deadly that tasers are hopeful. that's the case law here you cannot have it both ways you can't say he ran off with
10:05 pm
a weapon that could kill somebody when you say it's not that. great shot brooks's death sparked a new wave of unrest in atlanta with protesters setting fire to the wendy's restaurant where he was killed. and blocking a highway. the city's police chief resigned and one officer was fired with the other placed on administrative duty. elsewhere across the u.s. black lives matter demonstrations have continued. well the some protesters even took to the water to oppose president donald trump as he gave a speech at the west point military academy. it was this school that gave us the men and women. who fought it was a boy war 'd george to wish the evil of slavery within what a life. of our founders and it comes as demonstrations in minneapolis come
10:06 pm
close to entering the 3rd week. of the protesters have not forgotten the man whose killing sparked this reckoning in the u.s. and across the world. well i'm joined by our until the talk more about this police killing another black man is dead at the hands of american police what exactly happened this time well as we can see in the report there this is a slightly different situation than the killing of george floyd but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a less tragic one basically as you can see there in the video do mr brooks was stopped they tried to carry out some type of field sobriety tests figure out what his blood alcohol level was and then somehow a scuffle ensued as part of the couple you can see in the video it appears that mr brooks somehow managed to get a hold of one of the officers tasers he ran away and then it does appear he turned around and fired off some shots at the pursuing police officers who then engaged in that deadly police accident action which i'm led to mix with mr brooks passing away
10:07 pm
and being killed actually now put we need to put this in a larger context you really have to look at how police officers in the united states are allowed to use force it's kind of determined by a supreme court case called the graham case which basically said that if police officers feel they are threatened if they think in the moment before they engage in violence that they could be attacked or somehow lose their own lives when often the use of violence on their part is justified right and it could be easily said in this case that the defense attorneys would most likely use a graham style defense say look this man mr brooks actually fired on our clients so they were justified in order to use that violence however you also heard from the lawyer from the family in that piece and he basically said yes he didn't debate the fact that mr brooks fired at the police officers however he said he used a non-lethal weapon so his argument was saying that the police officers weren't justified in using a lethal force against somebody who wasn't armed with a lethal weapon which would actually be capable of killing them but at the end of
10:08 pm
the day it really boils down to when do you think police are allowed to use force in the united states i mean it's quite the the mayor of atlanta who said the clear distinction between what you can do and what you. should do in this situation and she was arguing that the police were not justified in using lethal force against mr brooks so we're seeing protests again in atlanta and in many places but we have to ask every time how likely is it that these protests are going to bring out changes in the way policing is carried out the u.s. that really remains to be seen we have seen some action on the national level from the national government but it does seem at this point that a lot of those police reforms that some of the democratic parties were suggesting are stalled in congress on the local front we have seen more changes more city authorities are indicating that they will really address how they deal with police seen their own communities but i think if you want to take the bird's eyed perspective of this you have to look at the overall support numbers in united
10:09 pm
states survey after survey has indicated that support for social justice measures and support for black lives matters in the united states states is really increasing dramatically some people are even arguing that the numbers indicate that the support for black lives matters as increased more in the last 2 weeks than it has in the last 2 years combined so it seems like the demonstrations are moving the needle in the direction they want to see it going until thanks very much for your insight thank you now to some of the other stories making news this hour london has marked the 3rd anniversary of the green felt how 5 the bells of the city's churches told 72 times in tribute to each of the victims the devastating blaze in the public housing block shocked britain an ongoing investigation into the into the disaster highlighted significant systemic failings of the london fire brigade. can be joan the system and eye to north korea's leader kim jong un
