of the national guard something that's not happened since world war 2. if they don't want to give us justice and they're not going to be any peace so let's go we are tired his name was george lloyd. i want i want change oh we all want change. we got white people don't use the word national buildings in the state in the country's capital which are yours but if they see us going to run they can shoot us in the face of the rubber bullets if they see us any being that look like a good they're going to kill it on a daily basis. this

is what you get when you don't hold other cops accountable when you let them kill other people when you let them kill you don't hold your partner accountable this is it this is. on thursday night protestors set a police station in minneapolis on fire they demanded the arrest of the officer who nailed on floyd's neck before he died something this now how pinned on a charge of 3rd degree murder the fatal arrest happened on monday 3 other officers stood by as floyd was pinned to the ground by ne for almost 10 minutes mr mayhem a friend of george floyd's family says people want justice. people don't know but this is like our baby for police killing in our community you know even peaceful you know and right now we're just we're fed up this anger that's been boiled over

multiple deaths in our community so i was surprised by the reaction from this debt they tried to you know implement a curfew for us didn't work at all we're still angry most angry behind that you know up 1 there were more buildings that burned down after we found out about. the 3rd degree charge it's is is it was it was definitely intentional there's actually 4 officers that that that's involved in this crime and this act of murder we want to all to be charged with murder at least 2nd degree murder intentional because when you sit there and you have it down on a man's neck for 10 minutes you know and they're screaming to tell you that they can't breathe you know what i mean. you know you're intentionally killing this mean you know people don't know they both were you know. big floor it was a bouncer at a same place where this guy was doing security at and they know each other well you

know this guy this is like his 3rd 2nd or 3rd homicide as a police officer as a peace officer you know we want the right charges to be you know present. we're not going to stop this is not going to stop you know you can you can implement all these curfew rules this martial law all we're fed up this is and it has been well over 6 years and years and years of anger behind me senseless deaths you know we've been getting murdered in cold blood by the people that are supposed to protect us. you know i mean. that. over 30 cities in the u.s. have seen protests on their streets and national guard has been deployed in various states now william white man who is in brooklyn tells us how new yorkers have reacted to events in minnesota. as we saw last night the reaction was one of rage i

think that's the best way to put it there were 2 major demonstrations that happened one of them was in downtown manhattan across the water. but the biggest one happened in brooks and i'm currently in bed stuy this is where i live protesters thousands of protesters joined a march which began at the barclay sense a arena and then snaked its way through brooklyn's various neighborhoods surround the night you could have police sirens helicopters there were multiple arrests there was several violent confrontation between the police some of us of course how was reportedly thrown into a police van and several parked cars are also reports it's open times we don't yet know at this stage how many people were arrested the best estimate we have is that we have scores of people the rest of the moment certainly demonstrations across the country we saw more people being arrested for example we know now around $200.00 people arrested during a similar protest in houston. so this is a was

a very very big night of rage for new yorkers engine instinct development that i just like to point out is that the transport workers union local 100 which represents the workers here in new york they actually tweeted instruct saying their members not to work with the n.y.p.d. because there were reports that the n.y.p.d. had come in did n.c.a.a. buses to transport arrested individuals and. this has worked as union tweets and saying that we do know what we have the n.y.p.d. . for and the people of new york so that gives you a really good idea of new york his reactions to the transport because siding with the people on this one certainly i mean we've just seen again in a coma just finished a press conference in which he essentially said you know if you're going to go on protest at least make. sure you wear mosques it's

a very different reaction compared seeing the governor of minnesota and certainly in kentucky and in recent developments he was so appealed to new york has better angels and encourage them to seek more peaceful forms of protest but yet this is something that follows like a and nights of rage almost a palestinian starting to fly out of it has been raging around the country in d.c. we saw a protest as an attempt to storm the white house trunk tweeted saying that had they have breached the rules they would have been greeted with vicious dogs and on the next weapons to quote that's right they slide out in detroit a 19 year old male was killed he was shot dead when an unidentified suspect holed up in a sports exhibit c. car and fired a shot at him we don't yet have a local media who this individual was and why they attempted to fly there was speculation on flights that this was a right wing individual acting against the protesters which has been very much orientated towards the last it down in atlanta we saw 1000 protesters march on

the georgian state capital the georgia governor brian camp was actually kodi states of emergency and has called for 500 state troops to be a sentence in the streets to try and keep the peace i've seen reports as well that he's likely to call for a cut few similar to what we have going on in minneapolis the moment of see they have the 8 pm curfew. some other cities where this district this is a big night now this is well so we had tens and the association as i mentioned earlier would see hundreds of people arrested in louisville kentucky there was a large large protest movement obviously this also follows on on a march killing of an african-american woman by the police so people there. extra angry if you want to put it that way and in l.a. we've seen reports of large demonstrations that police raid. palaces and includes

as well i've just seen who stood around 1 am in the morning last friday demonstrations continued there was that cigarettes being deployed against demonstrators. there except in the now former police officer who penned george floyd down has been arrested he was charged with 3rd degree murder charge this applied when no intention to kill is suspected which joins life now by kayla jeanette a johnson activist from minneapolis is good to see you thanks for joining us on aussie you took part in the protests tell us about that experience. you know i was always the one to take part in protests but i never took full action like i did on wednesday may 27th. i felt that i needed to be out there it was important and that i was out there to stand for others who can no longer stand anymore. so i ended up getting to the front line of

protest in a we were peacefully protesting it was kind of scary because the police were drawing flash grenades off of the roof of the precinct they were you know shooting people with rubber bullet people it was like a war zone out there i ended up getting tear gas very badly i got hit with a flash grenade in my arm in the minneapolis the police department ended up giving me a 2nd degree burns so peacefully protesting that the type of world we live in right now it's scary but i can no longer have fear anymore because as allies if they are you know they are already did the wrong they they've done it to us multiple times and we can just we can't hear it anymore we have to stay and we have to do this the only thing we have lest the message did you want to get across by protesting. i don't regret what happened to me and i feel like it leave me stronger as

a person and i want to i was there to make a statement so that's why i don't regret what happened to me i was there to make a statement and that's what i did. the office here knelt on george floyd's has been charged with 1st degree murder is not part of what you wanted to achieve. i don't think. i think he should have gotten higher charge because he murdered someone in broad daylight it's our own people have it on multiple videos 'd it was just it was straight murder there's no way around it you can justify it was murder the man was suffocated for several minutes that was murder point blank it was murder. do you intend to continue processing. i was out yesterday 'd protesting

i will i have to work today so i can't really go out right now but. yes i do continue if i can get out. of my shoulder is healed i will concede to protest and stand. things like day after day the protests are growing a memory even spreading across the country and even internationally one needs to happen to make this come to an end to get people off the streets. it's going to be hard to do that honestly because the peace has to come from within the system if the system doesn't change if the people within the system who are controlling this is the inch doesn't change there will be no peace. the saying is no justice no peace in that statement is little if there's no justice there will no emo peace it's gonna be hard to get people off the streets israeli jews. i wish them to see them. sadly similar situations and similar protests in the past

how what more of these protests different do you think this is going to be a significant moment for the u.s. i think it's going to be a turning point. i. i think the reason why everything escalated away. as we told us as an african-american community we are tired of fighting the same we've been fighting the same fire for a 100 plus years we've tried to cross has peacefully. every child everything in people are at their wit's end about it is sad because it's like i don't know as i am late i have a 10 year old lost you he's african-american and he goes out one day we don't know if he was going to come home that day that's how scary it is that's how as african-americans every day we step out of our house and we are risking our life we

don't know what's coming next i'm going to search as governor says the violence that we've been seeing is no longer about george floyd's death it's much bigger than that do you think i'm tell me what you think about what he said and also do them as a chance that these protests are going to be hijacked by opportunists. it is more of george floyd's. because as of right now we're fighting for everyone who has 'd been allies by police also syrians in the system and have not get justice for it. opportunist have already taken charge they just announced today on the news that. a lot of these firings and missions the people initiating the lootings are white

supremacist just told that they are encouraging people to stay home tonight because it's going to be light a war zone times 10 i heard people are getting assault rifles and ready i heard why i suppose those are blending in with the crowds it's scary you don't know who is who you know anything can happen so opportunists have definitely are taking charge. pelleted i johnson an activist from minneapolis thank you for talking to us. thank you. now many of the areas that have seen protests over george ploys death of all things seem significantly saying hey you can see scenes in portland where people are emptying out an apple store. and anybody comes by over the water you know that you feel welcome and hopefully

you know this will help so that it will come and destroy our property here. was. the right way to listen to it right you don't. predictors you know it's got this large we're going to go back down the production all business is going to like that. but you got to see if you're going to do what you've got to do. and the marriage the civil rights attorney representing george floyd's family describe to us a long standing pattern of police brutality against ethnic minorities in the u.s. . america's the deadliest police culture in the modern world there is no nation on the planet that kills in a car so it's more of us people we are in a crisis position tony benn crop and i announced this morning that we are taking

these families the family of george floyd a model be on a tailor to washington d.c. and we want to discuss comprehensive police reform we're all spirit bringing this case before the united nations human rights council so that we can receive sanctions against the united states for its probation and continual denial of basic human rights to the african american community. which right now are met our primary goal is to show to ensure that the appropriate charges move forward and so we are not satisfied yet 3rd degree murder is an appropriate charge it means it was an accidental killing it like manslaughter the the the partner charged they they levy if i get in my car again i get drunk not only intend to kill anybody but it's reckless behavior that could result in somebody's death that's manslaughter this 3rd degree murder but when i apply pressure for a sustained period of time to a critical area of someone's throat. that's and it's all about foreseeability it's foreseeable that that kind of action will result in death or bodily injury so

that's murder we're looking forward to speaking with the governor on behalf of the family and encouraging him to activate the attorney general keith ellis to come in take over this in this case bring the appropriate charges and make the requisite arrest. when the family is very concerned about the safety of the public these people are standing up not only for george they're standing up for themselves or standing up for the community but they're doing so by standing up against begin one of the most brutal police forces on the planet and i don't mean minnesota i mean the american police force in general they only know 2 things incarceration and brutality and so they are concerned that when. interlopers come and break things and birth things that invites harm to other people's children they don't want to see that happen. protests have now spread beyond the u.s. border with people gathering near the u.s. embassy in berlin people are chanting slogans and holding signs with the phrase black lives not to play yet one of the protests was over the riots another peaceful

protest is being planned in london tomorrow. and meanwhile within the u.s. plenty more protests taking being held and one of those protests is happening right now in pittsburgh we're joined by duncan valid human rights lawyer who is that florence why now dan can you hear us yes i can hear you great was the situation in pittsburgh right now well right now we. are it's. these protests you can see there's people here. right out very peaceful. really no sign of police anywhere. chauvin even has been charged with 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter what are those charges mean and how many years in prison are we talking about do

you think that's going to be enough to satisfy the crowds. no i think 1st of all 1st degree murder because it's very clear it was. but he also want the other 3 policemen charged. we were on the scene. 5 and i'm not sure that would pop people down i think people feel like this is out of troll but this is a systematic problem and this hunt. down most the police presence like where you are. what set the police presence other loss of police. no not that i can see. we pretty much now control the streets here. there's not any police. that i can see at all. and we can have chanting what are they saying.

can you tell us what the crowd is saying i can hear chanting that we can see plaque cause they were telling us what they had a hard smatter. and they've also been chanting hands in the air. please don't shoot. black lives matter is the chant. downa how do you see things playing out i mean these protests just seem to be spreading not just across the u.s. but internationally what do you think has to be done to get it to cause to bring calm back to the streets. i think they're asked to be sure. guy a lot. between the government. and you know people on the ground about how things are going to change with the police about how we're going to be protected from this a pandemic about how people who are unemployed now are going to get help. you

know i think you're now asking the people are going to ask for structural change we can't go on as the richest country in the world. but a country that does not take care of its only. down cannot make human rights lawyer attending not protest in pittsburgh over the death of george floyd thank you for joining us down. thank you thank you very much. and the governor of minnesota claims some of the violence is no longer about george floyd in this video you can see a man trying to bend the american flag in los angeles. at last a news outlet cnn's office was attacked by riaa says. you are not in the newsroom this is you know project you know christer job some people are laughing some people are videotaping or something on fire chris a firecracker anything got fired. you're right you're ok well

protests on dominating global media coverage caleb maupin looks at how that comes which compares with the protests in baltimore some years back shocking footage has emerged of protesters breaking windows torching buildings and clashing with police thousands of taking to the streets to protest against the recent killing of george boyd but police protests have spread far beyond minnesota all across the country clashes are taking place across american streets.

minnesota's governor tim waltz has declared a state of emergency i am answering our local leaders request for minnesota national guard assistance to protect peaceful demonstrators neighbors and small businesses in minnesota. president trump has promised to seize control of needy apples and says that there will be shooting if there is more looting the tweet was flagged and suppressed because twitter said it was more of find violence these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let that happen just to give new to mills and told him that the military's with. any difficulty and will assume control box when the looting stones the shooting stones thank you u.s. attorney general has been deployed to investigate the actions of the officers who took boyd's life i feel very very. badly it's a very shocking sight bill and i were talking about it before it's one of the

reasons bill's here right. because as you know we're very much involved and i've asked attorney general f.b.i. and the attorney general to take a very strong look and to see what went on liberal leaning american media as declare the killing of george bush and the protests that erupted in its aftermath it into a long pattern of police brutality racism and the government ignoring the concerns of african-americans we do begin with breaking news we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world fires are still burning on the south side of minneapolis after protesters took to the streets to demand justice for george cloyd how do you raise your children in this america today i'm not sure there is an answer necessarily although. you point to angela davis who says it's not enough to be non racist you have to be anti racist however the same media seemed far less sympathetic in 2015 after baltimore lit up in response to the

police killing of freddie gray. was. in 20 scene concerns of the african-american community to be the last thing the american media was concerned about while artsy was covering the protests c.n.n. was covering a fancy dinner at the white house the streets of baltimore are filled with protesters everyone's wining and dining and this is happening 5060 miles away so you can't ignore that now. you can't ignore that. and yet that it's important i do want to get to the red carpet da when u.s. media finally got around to covering the protests that were trade simply violent crowds clashing with the police showing the protesters to be more or less violent with marks

a handful of protesters handful of criminals and thugs who who tore up the place isn't it the right word so calling them thugs just call them they just call them at least 15 police officers have been heard 200 arrests 144 of vehicle fires that these are statistics local place are put out 15 structure fires there's no excuse for that kind of violence right so what changed why is u.s. media suddenly concerned about african-americans is it perhaps that u.s. president donald trump is why do you use being a racist those protests back in 2015 in baltimore did not fit the liberal narrative that iraq obama was leading us toward the post racial era i think if you look historically at the mainstream media and other things that have had. and they haven't reacted this way and it makes you wonder just why are they giving this so much coverage in the way that they are it's the angle of the coverage and i think

like many i believe that it may have a lot to do with elections and the political narrative right now and that's incredibly wrong turning this into something where we're allowing people especially these extreme leftists to come in and start fires i think we're actually feeding into a much darker narrative it's not about this man's death and that's unfortunate it's a battle actions while many are deeply concerned about killing of an innocent man it seems that powerful forces are not afraid to push their own little. parts of new york story account top story right now multiple cities in different u.s. states are seeing violent protests over the death of george floyd in police custody over the last few days buildings have been set on fire and businesses looted with protesters denouncing racism and police brutality amid clashes that with law enforcement.

i. thought. that the result of. your voyage was lying on the ground all those other officers watched. protests as i've also targeted to a news channel cnn's headquarters in atlanta a big crowd gathered outside the building to condemn the channel's coverage of the

current events there was a high police presence in the area.
