activated, this is a moment in america that has been sometime since we have seen that together we will go through it and see where it leads on the other side. our coverage continues -- >> continuing coverage now fox news alert the death of george floyd sparking another night of destructive protest across our nation, nearly every major city in america has seen some sort of crowd gathered in the street demanding more from justice amid escalating tensions with law enforcement, you're looking live on the left side of your screen and minneapolis where we are starting to approach a curfew point, this is fox news special coverage, i am harris faulkner. my photos, multiple states activating national guard and some of the protests have taken a violent turn, as you know this

is been escalating over the past few days and as we watch this right now, will go to our reporter mike tobin who is in minneapolis and mike, we've been able to hear rubber bullets being fired, all sorts of things in the last few minutes. reviewed 40 minutes after the curfew went into effect, we were watching the back of the fifth precinct and we saw the officers staging and mobilizing and buses full of state troopers come up over this row which is 32nd street, they got here on this avenue in what they're doing right now, this is the aftermath of them clearing nicolette avenue, we have a bunch of the officers at the ready, you can see the gentleman loading up a yellow or an orange gun, that is a rubber bullet gun and he is mourning him -- he shot him. he is still standing.

don't stand by me. all right, you do your thing. what we got, the cat and mouse game goes, you can look across here and you see the kids by the metro transit station, they are trying to get back on the roof, you have this kid who is running around taunting the police to see what they will do, the kids are trying to backfill in this direction in this line of cops is trying to prevent them from doing just that. harris: , sometimes you will see signs and you hear people shouting things, is that what this is about or they are just trying to stick past curfew, are these protesters or something else were watching unfold as you saw the one guy as you said might get hit by rubber bullets, he was getting awfully close to you. reporter: these are troublemakers, the people that are out here are mostly interested in defying the

curfew. you sell what they did define the curfew, people want to save the mostly peaceful protests which sound like an oxymoron and when you're torching buildings you're not part of something that is peaceful. these kids, a lot of them it's a game an opportunity to vandalize things and make a hoot of it. when you see some of the outside agitators of the governor described with the backpacks, face covering, they come here, they are hostile in their intent on doing something defiant or destructive or vandalizing things. harris: i like the way you describe the troublemakers, they can be quite dangerous as they do whatever they've come to town to do. are they being arrested at any certain rate, they kind of stand out. >> that's a tough call for me, i'm a little bit limited in my perspective because as a state trooper come this way, we went with them and they lay down a lot of teargas. it was more than i can keep up

with. i had to back up in this direction, they are heading in the direction where harrigan was, as far as they zip tying people defying the curfew, that's a perspective i do not have. harris: what about what people are saying about george floyd, that is the thing that has been so lost in all of this. why they said they would gather for justice for george floyd and you have the police officer that we saw in that video, the world has seen it with his knee on ford's neck now charged with third-degree murder and i'm wondering on the streets, what are you hearing about what to the whole thing off? >> it is interesting that you mention that because i haven't heard anyone mention george floyd all day long other than people who are bringing his name up in the protest, this is clearly gotten away from him, this is people who want to lash out from police and do something rebellious. >> what is the response of the law enforcement, they are

putting in a very difficult position, protect, serve, protect themselves, another national guard and we were on the air they have taken a credible threat in the governor and the major general said the guardsmen from here on out would be armed because of the credible threat, they are in a tough position. how is everybody holding together and holding their form if you will. >> i think it when it comes to the guardsmen and women, the posture seen from them who they do stand with a rifle, round 16 and some are forced, somehow magazines, some do not. as far as the guards people when they're not operating, some have been out, let's watch this troublemaker coming back out to talk the line of police one more time. that is after taking a rubber bullet. >> after they already fired on him. he is back out. >> he's not getting the message.

harris: what kind of shape are the businesses in, i know you're on nicolette avenue, i used to live and work there with minneapolis, what is it like in terms of the damage that has been done, has that eased up the curfew situation? >> at the moment i'm unaware of any new fires but the area that were in right now, the wells fargo bank burned in the atlas staffing burning and where the post office burn. it is considerable damage in this area and my observation going back up leak street last night, we went back to the third precinct, the exception was the building that did not have the windows smashed in. harris: mike tobin, we will check back on the streets of minneapolis as the sun is setting behind you and people are still out there causing problems as you been telling us, stay safe, i want to go to to a

very tense situation playing in new york city, it is already dark here and there are many people on the streets as there have been on any point. brian is live, we are approaching the situation where no one is paying attention to what they're being told and that makes it risky. >> good evening, were approaching the situation in brooklyn on the flatbush area in this neighborhood that started off tense before 730 and it turned violent, this is a group of about 200 protesters that had a tense standoff and they started speeding up a couple of police vehicles and there was a charge from nypd officers and that led to two and half hours right now confrontation. right now at a standstill taken a step back from the previous location in the reality, those coming to the event summer wearing ski masks, other coming in groups and it's becoming a

sketchy situation where it's no longer about george floyd, all day we've seen different protests in new york city that have been peaceful and we've seen that but there have been skirmishes and we have been at one of those, union square right now in manhattan is also a violent situation, we have seen protesters break down windows to the bank and there we have reports of a ban on fire in the situation there was just as intense as it was here just about an hour ago. but the situation here, to police patrol cars were lit on fire, we saw firefighters coming and taking care of that, they were bricks and fire extinguishers and wood and glass bottles, everything you can imagine thrown at police officers, we saw multiple police officers being taken behind the line for medical care, there was mason pepper spray, batons, you name it for about two hours, it was really bad.

again, right now those are coming to the scene there either coming here to see was going on or they're coming here to spark more trouble, when you see a group of people coming with ski masks and others coming in seemingly trying to agitate, that's a situation in flatbush, this is south of prospect park, the borough of new york city, what you're seeing in union square is in manhattan and all day we've seen multiple protest in as well as thousands of people in the situation got really bad with 200 protesters in the standoff and you saw people from behind the front line throwing things at police officers, jumping on the cars, that is when the charge happened and that's when we saw both of the vehicles get lit on fire in a tense situation in brooklyn. >> i was going to ask you before when we had in the background clearly something burning, that must be the man that you're

talking about. we are looking at new york city live as america chooses to see this, there is a line of law enforcement, vehicles pulling in behind the line and trying to hold the line, protesters on one side, law enforcement on the other in the yellow paint that comes down for the dividing lines is what separating them right now, they are beginning to pelt the patrol cars with objects, they're trying to move the line of protesters back, brian you said it pops off earlier and it seems to be the worst of this, these officers and protesters are awfully close together. >> here and flatbush, we're about 25 minutes away from union square, again i would imagine given the numbers we see in union square, that situation is more tense given the number of protesters that are there, union square is an area where all the

peaceful protest, it's where everybody meets. here there was a very specific square mission on the side that turned violent. this situation union square has octane because the fact of the matter of how many more people are there tonight. this is been trying to follow the situation on the map in new york, the nypd has done a good job of splintering the groups sometimes and when you're trying to find out where the next protest will be, it will become very difficult and that's where we found ourselves, now obviously union -- if you can hear me, you are saying the exact right words, union square has gone bad we can see flames. i'm going from your earlier reporting, we had two squad cars on fire, that looks like a van from the height of the flames, we have one person in the center of the screen shooting and now we have police officers trying

to clear the area. potentially the man you were telling us about. and the way this is higher octane in the intensity and emotions around it, it's also higher octane because the simple fact that there's so many people still out at 10 - 11:00 p.m. eastern and clearing these people away, it is difficult to do because there are so many of them. the flames behind them, that has been burning for quite some time, the way that you described where you are in flatbush and having that talk a little while ago in 45 minutes from where we are now, the amount of people driving this protest to become something that is a challenge. you are right about this, we can hear a little bit -- if you listen carefully we can hear the instruction that these police officers from nypd are giving people to get them back in for the most part, they are listening. this is a constant conversation,

it is a constant press against the protesters coming forward to see what's on prior and to gather. >> there's no better police force trained for the situation. what you're seeing is the police have to create some sort of line so they can protect their people as well as a situation and they will try to go in there and do that as we have some police activity coming in, i will go over here to show the cop cars coming on. this is a situation where the police are trying to close off the situation here, they are trying to contain the situation but as you were saying, the bottom line, even if 95% of the people and even if 98% are nonviolent, when you're in a situation like that with the police are looking from every direction and there's people from all over and we saw that here, they had no idea where to

look as fire extinguisher were coming their way in glass bottles coming their way, it was a tense situation happening in union square, you have so many people around you and it's hard to tell where the stuff is coming from, it's fueled it's like a fire, the energy of the crowd and even if it only takes three or four people to throw the bottle to hit an officer and all the sudden they either charge or try to contain the situation and that's when it becomes a really difficult situation and i'll say this, this is the most people i've been around and almost more than three months, new york city the height of the coronavirus pandemic, people have been in their apartment for four months, this is a beautiful day today, it is hot, they are angry and they are out here and frankly it's a situation here, one of the protesters was saying i'm scared of coronavirus but i'm scared of getting killed by the police, i'm more concerned about racism, that was a message from some of the people here today.

there is a sense of wanting to release a lot of anger. >> i say that's interesting because i was talking with my children moments ago when he was going live in minneapolis and standing not too far from a guy who they had to open rubber bullets on to try to get him back. i asked him, george floyd is why they said they were doing this for justice, we all saw the video and we understand the pain that people feel when they watch it, you and i feel it, we watched it, we talked about it but now for several days in different cities across america, i asked mike, how much are you hearing about floyd and justice for him, you're telling us a little bit how angry people are about a situation that they have perhaps experienced or know someone who has with unfairness along the lines of law enforcement, for the most part,

i'm not seeing signage and i'm not seen a real protest if you will, it's a lot of destruction. >> at this hour, i would agree with you but i would say although we saw today in protest was a signage, the calls for george floyd, the calls for justice, this starting at 730, became a situation where it did not become the anymore and again, i don't want to downplay what we saw in in terms of the message, they were black, white, hispanic and people with the signage and marching peacefully but that did take a turn tonight and that is no longer the situation. that is very clear, i do think also, these are black and hispanic communities that are the hardest hit by the coronavirus. and these are the people be in the hardest hit by the unemployment situation because of the virus. they are so angry despite the fact that the hardest hit area by covid-19 they are out here. some without masks, others on

top of one another. so that speaks to their emotion, some people are here for wrong reasons, others that we saw throughout the day, black, white hispanic we are here for the right reasons, this time at night were at flatbush where there is no longer peaceful protesters and what else out here, union square there is a combination of things and it's obviously evolved into a difficult situation. harris: were seen several lines of police holding back the lines of protesters and potential collusion points and everybody holding their ground if you will on long law enforcement. i want to bring in florida congressman, the commander and national guard colonel and brian yannis will get back to them just a moment. thank you for the great reporting and will continue to look at these pictures live in new york city.

congressman, i know you are joining by phone right now as we continue to look live over new york city. >> yes, i am with you, if you can see me okay or if i'm calling, i'm happy to go either way. harris: there we go, as were watching these pictures, i want to get the perspective of somebody who wants to hold the line of the national guards. in all of your service to the great nation. in the police officers are two rows deep, we know in minneapolis when we watched the next row behind them is national guard, what is the national guard's role in certain cities where they have been called in. >> there are a few reasons why the national guard is so important for this type of incident, the national guard works for the governors and

offers under state authorities, it has arrest authority as opposed to our active duty brothers and sisters in the first marine division for the 82nd airborne and they do not have authority and is very important that the national guardsmen and women can arrest these looters in these rioters in support of the police. in the other key things, they train for these types of things, we trained for natural disasters, we trained for supporting major events like inauguration and we trained for support to these types of civil disturbances. that is important as well, here's the most important piece, national guardsmen and women are from the community, they have civilian jobs when they're not in uniform, they live in those communities as opposed to active

duty from all over the country and live in the basis, these men and women go back into the cities and go back into those communities at night, there was a famous incident in the baltimore riot and i am a member of the maryland national guard where one of the agitators yelled at the guardsmen, go back home, get out of here in the guardsmen yield back, i am home, i live four blocks down the street. so that connection with the community is incredibly important and that's why all those reasons and all the guard is so critical to supporting these missions. harris: congressman waltz, i want to set the picture for everybody to be able to see, we're visiting different cities, when we were talking we saw live in philadelphia and in seattle, each picture has a growing number of people of city after

city and it is seeing curfew challenged -- i guess is the best way to put it. look at seattle, i don't know if you're able to take this in but we have more of a situation, it would appear teargas and some quick urgent steps in new york city by police officers. you can tell by the urgency as we toggle back and forth, i want to ask you about formation, it's a very military like presence but in some weight it's police like as well, how is the national guard different. we have the authority to arrest which is different the military being on your street. >> in many ways, the guard will approach this much like they approach the securing our border mission. they will seek where they can to actually take supporting roles analysis, intelligence, logistics, traffic control

points to free up the law enforcement officers to be out there on the front line as much as possible, we want to avoid situations where you think about the visual of men and women in camouflage uniform. even though they have the authority to arrest, they like to avoid doing that whenever possible and leave that to the community police officers. but they can step in where they need to but this is just tragic, this is moved way beyond george floyd and at this point, i think the communities need to show strength for law and order and we need to defend the innocent business owners and men and women who are having their communities attacked and restore the rule of law and where they need to call in the national guard, they should do so. harris: we were looking at seattle, i'm going to ask my team if we can go back to seattle. there were several vehicles burning and obviously three

hours earlier than we are on the east coast and their curfew is still a bit away on the west coast. there is seattle right now. congressman waltz, you have authorities on bikes, you have them in every fashion so they can fill in some of the gaps, i am mystified by how destructive this is and people are still driving in the middle of it and now they're not, they're bringing in their vehicles to break up some of the traffic. it was mind blowing to me, there's traffic picking up and things are on fire and that is potentially very risky as well, they are starting to hold the line as seattle gets to move toward it's curfew point. your thoughts of what they are challenged by now, i know it tipped it off and i know the

anger that exist right now against the police officers in minneapolis among some of the people of color in citizenry, blacks and latinos and others who have said no more in their perception, this is how they bring about justice but this is spread like wildfire across the country, as you just said were so far away at this hour from george floyd be in the focus. >> i would hope that folks could direct their anger at that police officer or the few bad apples i do not represent in my opinion the vast majority of our first responders and our law enforcement officers that are engaging our communities for protecting their communities in a righteous and honorable way day in and day out in the vast majority, 99.9% that are doing the right things, let's focus our anger on those bad apples, they have been charged, let's let the system play out at this

point. i want to make one more important point about our brothers and sisters in the national guard. they are still away from their families and homes conducting the cove admission, still doing testing and still doing food banks, still doing all the things that they required, plus getting ready for hurricane season and wildfires and others in many of them are still on rotation overseas to support the overseas mission, in terms of a return on investment that we get for the national guard, i'm obviously huge advocate because you get all of that. meanwhile they still have jobs to go back to -. harris: i'm going to cut in, were watching -- i cannot tell because the cameras on the ground, you have teargas, we sell rubber bullets being fired, they're trying to push people back, this is seattle,

washington, it is 7:25 p.m. local time, it is obviously still daylight out as we approach the sender sees in new york city obviously after nightfall, not that many fewer people around the streets on the east coast even though it's dark out, i just want to ask you about the equipment, the hardware that is being used, the rubber bullets, talk to me about what it takes to disperse a crowd like this, you don't want to hurt anybody but you have to make the point when you mean get back, you mean get back, when you see so much violence, what does that mean in the choices. >> that's why we want to leave this to local law enforcement as much as possible, this is what they train for in terms of when to escalate and de-escalate and that's what the guard trained for. harris: i'm sorry to cut in again, we were watching the

situation devolve on a curve on new york city, there are several police officers taking one person down. of course without the benefit of audio, it's impossible to know what's happening, but our reporter on ground in new york says in union square, the numbers are on the problem in manhattan. he says you have so many people in the collision points are going to be much more violent. you see some of that play out, i will ask my crew if we can get brian back up again when that is possible so he can help narrate what we are seeing because he spent so much time earlier in the day, watching all of this unfold around him and he got really violent in the midst of what brian yannis was trying to cover, you have this one person on the ground. i am wondering what it takes when you are the arresting people, incarcerating them, taking them away from a scene

and now we see a stronger line holding curfew in minneapolis. this is playing out on a saturday night, so many nights after george floyd's death. how shocked are you to see this and now these men and women are on the move, they are moving in, let's take these images, we have mike tobin on the ground, steve harrigan, i'm asking my crew is there a reporter that might be nearby what's playing out. congressman, please sit by, thank you very much. i am going to go to the scene in new york in the former police commissioner of this great city, as you watch this, what goes through your mind? >> first and foremost, it is the

restraint by the new york city cops, when you talk to congressman waltz about the national guard, you have to keep in mind that in new york city in the aftermath of 9/11, i had 41000 uniform officers, new york city has a staff that is unlike any other department in the country, your resources, manpower, equipment, a lot of other departments don't have. we don't need the national guard presence like many other cities. however, in the aftermath of 9/11 we did. but what were seeing today's nypd in full force and enormous amount of restraint. what i like to see more than this, i would like to see the community leaders, i would like to see real community leaders from these cities out there, if

they're going to protest, protest but get out there and de-escalate the crowds. the people from the cities, think back to martin luther king days, what him and john lewis and people like that, when they went to protest, they themselves went out into the communities, they de-escalate in and they negotiated, they talked to the politicians and the police and everybody else, i don't see any of that today, i don't see any of the politicians out there. >> notwithstanding representative lewis, he wrote earlier today, 65 years have passed since he remember the face of young emmett till, he was 1965, he has spent his whole life working toward civil rights and civil justice if you will. but it is now an opportunity in time for the next generation, why do you think were not seen as many out and perhaps daytime

hours, i don't know but this is when the people are out, they are out at night. >> there out at night and we have two issues, you have the locals, the real community people from these communities that are looking for leadership, they're looking for de-escalation, they're looking for guidance, then you also have the agitators, the people that are being paid to come in from out-of-state to rev up the crowd to get them to do stupid things emmett pleased with attorney general on his announcement and he's can have the fbi, the dea, the justice department investigating those that come in from out-of-state to engage in extreme violence arson, looting and riding. >> is that a new occurrence like new in the last decade or so, i know we saw some of that in

ferguson, we have seen some of that in baltimore where others have come from the outside but so much can be organized online that you literally can have dozens of people showing up at an invitation and how does that complicate matters if you're trying to get your arms around a situation. >> you are right, it does complicate matters because they have a communication network that people didn't have back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, when you think of the tactics today, i think of the black liberation army, the "black panther" party, the weather underground, these were domestic terror groups in the 60s, 70s and 80s. they did not have the communication networks that these kids have today. they did not have the ability to move the way they did today, they did not have cell phone and social media, it is easy for these groups today to get a

message out then to be somewhere in an hour. and do these riots. >> as your former profession, were looking at a situation that has gone so much worse, were sending brian yannis down to union square and he should be there in ten minutes, he left one area that was a hotspot and now he's going to union square, he said they were having a hard time, i'm talking with the former commissioner of new york police, they were having a hard time keeping the numbers down in union square. it is a really loud situation right now, i want to have a couple of questions about how we got here and how you think the current department is handling the issue of race. we are seen across the country, not everybody has george floyd on their mind but the topic of race relations and police

departments across america is something that many of the protesters have on their minds, what would you say compared to when you were leading, where are we on the issue? >> what i would say, don't take one of these incidents in broad brush the entire policing network in the united states. there is 800,000 law enforcement officers in the united states, i tell you as congressman said earlier, 99.9% of them are good people, decent people, they go out and they put their lives on the line for people that are different colors, different religion, they come from different countries, they do it on a daily basis and they don't give a damn what color you are or where you're from, we have bad apples, when we have bad apples is extremely important to identify them, administratively take care of them in the department and if worse comes to worse, they go to jail. in this case i have to tell you

when i saw the video of mr. floyd, i said immediately there was a problem, it was an excessive use of force, he was handcuffed, he was not resisting in any way that i can see and now i watch for five of the videos, the force used was unexplainable, not to mention the cop knew what he was doing. he had four or five people around him telling him, you are killing him, he can't breathe, get off of him, you're killing him, floyd said himself, i cannot breathe a number of different times, the officer stayed on top of him. i must admit, i'm surprised it's only a murder in the third degree, i thought for sure with the intent, thought it would've been a murder first degree. harris: i'm going to be talking with a former u.s. attorney who

is coming up the former mayor rudy giuliani and others, i want to ask about the very specific thing, what we are watching is protesters getting arrested. i do see out of one corner of the screen right gear. this has involved in front of us, are we able to see union square. >> yes i can see it. harris: what is happening -. harris: you are saying that and they are trying to get people back. >> what they're trying to do is move the crowd, for the most part, the crowds will move as officers move, i think a lot of people don't realize, when you watch times square on new year's eve, we have close to 1 million people, maybe more in the area, we have 7000 police officers in that area overseeing in that

event, they know what they're doing, they know how to handle crowds, in this case you want to do it as delicately as possible and you don't want an insight or instigate, but you have to defend yourself, you can't stand there like a punching bag and last night we had a deputy inspector that got a busted mouth and teeth and we had a lieutenant, somebody threw a brick at him and hit him in the face. we had a woman throw a cocktail at a police unit with four officers in it. luckily it did not explode, these are the types of things that these cops have to worry about. it bothers me when i hear people like the mayor say he is questioning how they responded, you go out there and respond, you go out and stand in the middle of the group with them.

harris: i tell you the way you describe it fits the pictures we are seeing, this is tough and its content tougher in the last 35 minutes or so, bernie is with us and i'll come back as this warrants to get you to tell us more of what the police officers are facing. i have noticed that we are in the middle of a pandemic and these people are very close together, here we were talking about protesters about reopening the economy not too long ago and people are cut, throwing bricks at people's faces, they are causing all sorts of destruction and please having to get in the middle of it all, some with masks and some without, we are watching it unfold. i will bring you back in in a little bit. i want to get to outside the white house, protest is broken out again. leland is rooftop, military police are out, the president tweeted earlier today that they

would be ready to do what they need to do and that has called for consternation, but for the purpose of reporting what we've seen now, this looks like a very large show a presence out here, i still see in the foreground, protesters up against the law enforcement. >> i think that's the message, an overwhelming show of force outside of the white house, the d.c. national guard was called up in the past couple of hours, that may be the very first group of them which is the line that said military police, last night the secret service was clearly caught by surprise by demonstrators that came in and broke down the barricade, secret service officers are wearing their starch white uniforms and had to break out right gear and push them back for a battle that lasted hours on and today the secret service was a lot more prepared but even still, you've

seen over the hours of switching out the line and you can go to lafayette park and have a very nice picnic when you looked at the white house, it was lovely. and things have changed an awful lot, and it's very telling that they call the d.c. national guard to protect what they call the white house complex, you see dumpster fires down here earlier we saw the destruction of a number of u.s. secret service vehicles out there next to the white house and people jumping on them, this is not something the secret service is used to and all around the area of the white house in eight or ten blocks that have the lobbyist and a big restaurant d.c. et cetera. you are having grenades in teargas going on in the pitched back-and-forth between the protesters that are fanned out

in the police that are on the ground, perhaps it is different d.c. and after last night in the scrum that you saw in front of the white house with the protesters worked on the secret service. and there was attack on us when they found out that we work for fox news and we were pushed out to lafayette park for two blocks that we had to move inside the crowd that was attacking us, it took two blocks to get any assemblers of law enforcement of the metropolitan police and it took them a little while to get reinforcement to be able to control the situation. that is not the case tonight, the d.c. police, the metropolitan police, the transit police, the secret service, the park police with their mounted units and now we see the military police in the d.c. national guard are out in force and in terms of how this is happening on the ground while the images look bad and you can see people getting teargas, often times.

harris: are they using teargas, what are they using, we see people who are dousing himself with water and they're putting their hoods on, why is this happening, what is happening. >> we've seen teargas and pepper spray, it depends on where it comes from, typically as people run up to the crowd, if you run up and throw something or you attack an officer, they have people with pepper spray behind the line that notice and fire out and you get individual people, we saw last night them using not necessarily teargas grenades but a way to disperse the teargas they came up relatively and had to hand them to it so was not a big thing. oliver d.c. we have two helicopters hovering overhead and we hear the teargas canisters in the grenade go off, important to note the mind that is being held by the military police in the secret service in the park police is now being held for hours and hours, there

is no giver the protesters and part of the reason there hasn't been a violence because of the overwhelming show of for force t something we haven't seen in other cities and it's something were seen here around the white house complex, there is no willingness on the part of the officers to get any ground. there is a willingness to be reserved and restrained but not a willingness to give any ground. harris: is there any willingness for this crowd to offend. you say that the military police, national guard, all of the law enforcement armed agency are there in the crowd is still at large. >> indeed, is continue to grow and certainly the later it gets, coming up on 11:00 o'clock eastern time, the more anger there is, this is been out on the streets for five, six, seven

hours. it is hot people are dehydrated, this is the first time people have been out on the street in d.c., i was down in the crowd yesterday talking to folks, they are angry but they don't necessarily agree what they're angry about. and there's no common thought, this is what we want and were peacefully talking about it. and were trying to go down the rabbit hole, something what you're interested in angry and cetera. what is clear, you made this exactly, there is a lot of ang anger, they will stand on the street for six hours and fight with the police, the military police the park police with their mounting units, you're angry, you let dumpsters on fire and jump on top of secret cars, there is a topical anger that does not seem to be going away simply because there's some teargas canisters thrown. harris: what about arrest.

we've seen a few across the co philadelphia in new york city, union square, we have brian yannis heading there and it looks a lot like the scene where you are now, it's packed with people and evolving by the moment. i am curious, are they taking people away? >> not in the way you would expect were re-seen in other places, if you talk to police commanders i know you had burning on earlier, there is a theory in order to arrest somebody it takes overwhelming force, you have to protect the people that are resting the person and they try to take up the key agitators, last night around the white house we were out there for five or six hours and they went back and forth with the secret service pushing over barricades and throwing firecrackers and bricks and injuring officers by the handful. there were only six arrests, there is enormous restraint being shown by these officers

who were taking an unbelievable amount abuse, you sit there and think about how angry, they are sitting there cursing, screaming, throwing things and the officers are standing there taking it. harris: i had on burning carrot minutes ago and former commissioner for police in new york, he said the restraint that he is seeing is something that really stands out this evening, this is the first night, this is not the second night, and many of the fratelli's is not the third, it's a fortnite and he said everybody reaches an intensity in a breaking point and he said the restraint is something we need in these hearing it. we can hear the choppers ahead and we will take a live look at philadelphia, but i will come back to you. i'm glad you're on a rooftop tonight and we hope that the situation dies down a bit but it does not look like it as they

have brought in for the first time the national guard at our nations capital along with all those other assets of law enforcement, this is philadelphia. in downtown philadelphia, things are burning. look at the streams of water that are on whatever it's burning right now. that is a block away and having cover scenes like this before when something is on fire in your shooting a block away, there is a perimeter that set up potentially but it's huge flames. and they're trying to get whatever it is out quickly and the fastest way to do that is to hit it hard with water and you can see the people at the top left of your screen, look how far back as they try to put the flames out, squad cars, you heard leland talking about all the things they set on fire outside of the white house near lafayette park, dumpster fires, vans, strategic vans, military

vehicles, secret service vehicles and now in philadelphia, flames to the right bottom of your screen that they're fighting with streams of water that are stories tall. i want to bring in former governor of arkansas mike huckabee, he often joins me during the daytime that outnumbered over time, we talk about the tough nature of things and where we are in this country and how we go forward. governor, how do we put out the fires, the intensity, not the ones on the ground but in people's hearts, what needs to be done. >> harris, let me be the contrary in, we show so much of the bad, we show so many hours of the riots and the horrible things that are happening on our streets and were not showing today in minneapolis, there were hundreds of minneapolis citizens cleaning up, they were not being paid to do it, this was their neighborhood, they were black people working alongside each

other, this is gone be out a race, this is where black people have a right to be angry at what happened to george floyd but i don't know of a single white person in this country that is not nauseated by what happened to this man when he was murdered by a police officer. it is a time wench i wish we see the mayor of alina which delivered one of the most powerful messages that i have seen in years, it brought tears to my eyes in this african-american mayor who loves her city and remembers and was spared after the assassination of doctor king and she reminded the people of atlanta that she is first and foremost not a mayor but a mom and it touched me when she talked about her love for her city and how she wanted people to protest, that is fine but to do it with a sense of responsibility, a lot

of the protesters are quiet people, not black people upset about george floyd, these are just people who are angry and they are upset about something else in there exploiting and they are great disservice to the true issue that america auto talk about and that's what happened to that man in minneapolis or what happened to the young man in georgia, those are legitimate things to discuss. they are being completely moved off the screen and were talking only about the bad apples, there's a lot of good apples in this country, i want to see more of them and not just the scenes of the fires burning and giving attention to these people who will be empowered by watching themselves do evil things in our streets. harris: that is beautifully put, i had tweeted earlier, our correspondent has some of the video. i masking my team to look for it now. they are asking for an army of

volunteers in minneapolis to help neighbors clean up business damage. this is what you're talking about governor, bring a broom they were told. there were hundreds of them, they were helping out. minneapolis is my former market, television market, one of them i was there for many years and met my husband who was also on the air. i remember the pulled together nature when snowstorms that dumped three and 4 feet on us and it became a state of emergency and there was no give up among people in the worst of disaster situations and this is a disaster situation. you are right, there is so many silverlining's, we must remember that celebrate it and for those of us to keep faith, we talk about this all the time, it is time to believe in each other as well. and remind each other what were capable of. >> i think that's a great message for us, not everybody is

mad, a lot of people are brokenhearted, there's a difference between having a broken heart and being so angry, we can break a window and bring something down. i get mad at things but i don't want to tear things up because i don't hate anybody. there's a lot of people that want to see the nation get back together, i think that's why when i saw the mayor of alina with such a powerful moment of leadership, i thought that is the kind of maybe rallying point that we need. i would march arm in arm with her in any city in the country we need. harris: how hard is it having lettuce state, having run for president of the great nation to see where we are today, this did not just happen, the systemic racism that people have fought against and pressed against for so many years is real and we

need good relations with our law enforcement and in some ways, i did a town hall, in some ways we faster police officers to do the impossible, they are out with the homeless and overburdened cities in california for example, they are going to domestic violence calls that potentially come the most violent that they ever respond to out of all the calls that they get and they never know what's going to happen when they get there. these are tough situations to navigate. >> they are but as my dear friend said a moment ago, nobody, not a confident america watches what happened to george floyd and said that's good police work, they are appalled, they hate what happened because it makes them all look bad. if you see some people riding, you cannot say that is those black people, it is not because there's a lot of white people that are out doing the writing,

they're doing the distracting, they're not doing that about george floyd. i think they have to remember for the greatest times that you made progress in civil rights and when you had people like doctor king to march with peace but he never threw a molotov cocktail, he never said let's bring it down, he never said let's rock a police car and go after those pigs, he never did it. talk about restraint, there's never been a person alive in my lifetime he should restraint when he was being bashed about the head and illegally put in jail pray that's the kind of leadership we note, that's why we need the mayor in atlanta, the great leaders black and white you need to rise to the occasion and remind us that i can't hate somebody of a different color because god made them just like he made me and if i hate somebody else he made, my

problem is with god, not with the other person. it is ultimately a spiritual issue, i am convinced we gotta get to and say i cannot hate somebody of god made them. and therefore i have to learn how to love them, i have to learn how to get along with them. we can do that, we have to. we have to. harris: governor huckabee, thank you for your comments and being with me as we watch them hold the line in minneapolis and watching the goodness out there. when we come back we'll go back to new york where brian is in position in union square. stay close. ♪ so you only pay for what you need! [squawks] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

harris: it has been multiple nights of tough violence and at times protest from "coast to coast" and it is breaking out again. as the death of george floyd has

sparked intention emotion and violence outbreak among protesters, demonstrators calling for justice, very angry about the situation of how he died with the police officers need in his neck. you are watching fox news special coverage, i am harris faulkner, on the left side of your screen los angeles is coming up on their curfew and holding the line with several rows deep of law enforcement and several had riot gear on but it looks like a pretty quiet situation as they move forward against beyond them, you can see the signs that all of the protesters, that is l.a., and an intense scene playing out in new york city, brian yunus has made his way to union square
