i. i america for. police protest in the way. you heard earlier from. curfews are imposed across dozens of cities in the u.s. though that doesn't stop rioters leaving a trail of destruction with more businesses and shops. and the protests now spread beyond the u.s. with thousands gathering in london.
7:01 pm
thanks for joining us here on the live from moscow i'm daniel hawkins another night of violence city set ablaze amid protests by the death of george floyd at the hands of police 700 people have been arrested across the united states in minneapolis where floyd died police have been struggling to maintain the curfew there with officers resorting to ever more heavy handed methods. we got the problem but we got the call and.
7:02 pm
you need to stand up and we need to fight for our lives there is no peace until there is just. a makeshift memorial has been set up for george floyd's mourners have been paying their respects leaving flowers and messages the saudis also become a place for peaceful protest against police brutality contrasting with the anger that spoiled over in other parts of the city and so the herald sun who's george floyd song told us she never expected this scale of support. he would like the only thing we have said here and. i'm i'm still trying to cope with the fact. you know lonely here because when we make you. play and think you know. you know we arm. and and how much people.
7:03 pm
well i think i mean you don't look so much because to be good everyone that was watching hated sheehan says you know why don't you be there when down in front of your eyes. any if you have $100.00. you know if you have a heart. to love you're going to your brain. can't do anything for a change because there were people that told me they wanted to reach through the t.v. to stage. and you know i'm just so you know i'm overwhelmed but the response that we're getting to the love and force ringback of this child to take their only because we really like. my next world and to think he's trying to change in the 21st century clean easy i mean
7:04 pm
real and explore people used to hear him say all we do is cry. we're just this we're just. now everybody got a chance to see that video and watch it and it doesn't matter why but i probably am but you come from you know a heart you know that was well. know he has no by. any human being. who just uses their floor for being convicted of murder. and is murder 3 just planning to just trolling murder a murder you just toying with the family. first time call it what it is. does murder. because that could be anybody sister brother. and what she said. mama mama that was my heart you can see
7:05 pm
was young i was just there to see. i was not a part. i just look. ok yes williams who says he worked there not club in minneapolis where both george floyd on the police officers charge but his death work as well said his reaction with. i knew both of them pretty well i work with floyd as well we all knew him by. i was there work in the club the day his 1st day coming in back in 2000 and i believe 15 something like that yeah when he 1st came in he was there i was the head of security i wasn't aware was in point was hiring but the moment i saw him i knew i needed that guy florida who rose mary jane you win this is what i mean that this guy would give you the shirt off in fact it was such a nice. game for being such
7:06 pm
a big star he was truly in touch i was so derrick saving oh say you will say when i took him in annika tell us more about the handle. and let's be clear about this that people together it's close because it's not like you're working shoulder to shoulder 6 because you sit in this park cars are side building at the time you don't even know who's in the squad cars they show up they stay outside they don't come in they don't assist ok. just. come out so we don't really do that but we are employed by the same people ok so their children's relationship with floyd was very short because there wasn't a clear cut the rope that was. shot in. the road dale so i've been clear that i deem do you think they should even recognize floyd's during their
7:07 pm
arrest. it's possible that maybe. they did die in that moment because you think of my sister recognizes you in my business and security that usually gives you some type of insight but with that officer some type of time in level with that officer that usually helps you out in situations so you got pulled over for speeding and you knew enough secret you went with the music you know if you could i. so no no usually you know you. do not believe that there was any previous marriage between these 2 and i would like to clear that up but i do not believe so knowing both of these men how did you feel what was your reaction when you 1st thought the video. i was horrified. was all. was this. just.
7:08 pm
he was just. so i was absolutely shocked and. i was. you know. thousands of reportedly gathered outside the capitol building in minnesota national guards have been securing its perimeter police say the protests on sunday have been peaceful so far the demonstrators there are demanding a special prosecutor be appointed for the case of george floyd as well as charges for the 3 other officers who were present during the fatal incident. that. occurred fuse have been imposed across dozens of cities in the us meaning people are prohibited from being outside after 8 pm hasn't stopped the writers though
7:09 pm
7:10 pm
oh. look. the protests in new york of calm since the volunteers from earlier this weekend the city's mayor has called for an investigation which will look into the shocking pictures of n.y.p.d. vehicles ramming into protest as the spider earlier outrage over him defending police actions and amid the protests donald trump has said he will designate the left wing militant group on t.v. as a terrorist organization and his brain than a kiss for the current violence on destruction across the country journalist and t.v. host ben swann told us that trump's thoughts on tivo could backfire. it was a lot of pressure on the president to move against that secret for some time there
7:11 pm
are a lot of people who believe that it does as a terrorist organization actually think it's a very poor precedent because what happens is even though there are a lot of conservatives in this country who would say well that's a good thing we need to label this group of that as a terrorism group but as soon as your guy is not an operative for and you get someone from the other side that they will then want to turn around and label any protest movement on the other side also a terrorist group the establishment of the country is not sure what to make of these protests i think a lot of it has to do with it's impart a black lives matter issue it's in part a response to police violence against unarmed black men because we've seen this over and over but i also believe that or seen this in relation to the lockdown that happened in the united states there are a lot of people who have been frustrated with the financial system they're frustrated with not having jobs not being able to make money there's a lot that's going on that's creating frustration and then to see another blatant example of another black man killed at the hands of police officers and it's not
7:12 pm
just one officer by the way there's video that shows 3 other officers for some time around george floyd and the fact that there were other officers in total who could have intervened and simply chose not to when protesters were saying on friday night and saturday night that their biggest frustration is that one officer has been charged but others have not been charged and they believe those officers should also be charged with murder you're seeing big coalitions of people coalescing around this particular issue which is a specific issue and import from one really to be protested but i think that there are other issues as well so i suspect we won't see at least for several days maybe even a week these these protests died out. of me saying several it's been playing out in the city of chicago where the man has strongly condemned the vonage behavior of roces. small so hurt and angry at those who decided to try to hijack this mall and use it as an opportunity to wreak havoc to loot and
7:13 pm
to destroy. you should. ask what you have done is to dishonor yourself your family and our city. was joining me live now from chicago blues musician terrans are kind of thanks so much for joining us good to have you with us today chicago wasn't initially one of the focuses of the protests but we've obviously seen people out on the streets there as well the national guard has been broad what's the situation like there currently. right now it's very unpredictable time also for the city of chicago as it was. and i just received notice there. are bus services in train service has been suspended so it's the 1st time in my 27 year. career 'd. that we've ever shut down the entire system the u.s.
7:14 pm
has a long history doesn't it of busy. problems between you know ethnic minorities police black people police the way they've been treated going back to the sixty's in fact protests and riots all over the country you did a live stream in fact talking a lot about it a lot of people are talking about change at a high level that are just lots of level what do you think can be done to change the situation fundamentally beyond words beyond you know platitudes what needs to happen. police now believe me the black community the minority community we appreciate the police and what they do and we know the job is hard but if they break the law they should be held to the same standards if not more than the average citizen that will hurt or kill somebody and if it was on on just you know if it was a maneuver or 'd a tactic to kill someone on this series shooting in the back they should be held to
7:15 pm
the same stand so i think a lot of them will all of the riots and anger and attitudes toward the police. what do you make of president trump's response to comments about the killing of jones for what he's inflaming the situation he's he's him and his administration seem to be just enjoying the division between. democrats and republicans and then making it a political issue when it should be just an american issue and people coming together and see what i understand he hasn't made in a 3 issue announcement yet as far as telling americans we should come together and things like that just been kind of in my opinion make it up as we go on and actually inflaming the situation might talk about leftist groups and things like that having not talking about commonality what we can do as americans or 'd even going in and saying these guys who roam you know holding 'd the police also
7:16 pm
and so a higher standard and in the rest in. the the officer involved directly and not killing he's obviously been arrested and charged with manslaughter with murderers while the other officers are under investigation do you think if justice is served if he goes if he's found guilty if it goes to prison and i were speculating here but if that does happen do you think that justice will be enough. no because the 3 other officers 'd were they let them do it and i'm sure we have i have coworkers c.t.a. you know driver just driving a bus we know who are bad outlaws are we know what barrels are and you act accordingly. the police department know they can be 30 the police officers if they don't if they don't try to control that one bad officer it makes them all so they are just as responsible in my family because they didn't stop there. minutes of
7:17 pm
having his knee on his neck so they didn't stop and so they just it's lots of. what do you make of the way the police have handled the protests so far in your city and indeed across the country. i think the chicago police department on doing a very best they can but the situation is going on now there's a lot of opportunists just breaking into stores that has nothing to do with the death. of mr flowing and the. best is taking away too meaning what was going on with police brutality and all and the reason why calling karen a male male at the. at the football games and the reason why people on just said it to police to farm. but to chicago police are probably going to very best they can ask people come from what were you when you look in stores and
7:18 pm
burning store that has nothing to do with the movement tried to gain some consciousness so what were the movements of black lives matter of all sorts 'd is understanding you know what do you think those people out on the streets who are polluting stores buying stores are they very much in a minority or do you think the protests are increasingly becoming more violent and being hijacked and why do you think that is that as a response to this perception of heavy handed police tactics all have people just not enough. i think there's a mixture probably all of that people just had enough of it they sealed it no one cares. this little only way to lash out at the system. 'd they come from neighborhoods that there's you know economically deprived and you know it's like you know you got to keep me low you going to. you know basically the system is put near me on i'm there so now stop sign to get out and just and just do
7:19 pm
what we can to you know maybe you know get close to whatever i mean is wrong but i understand the anger understand you just can't control yourself anymore but that's what you look to put their lives in at risk of danger of being shot well being hurt you know something like that is i don't understand it from that standpoint because i'm 52 years old and i just don't understand breaking into something to look or into or if i'm down as i'm poor i don't understand breaking into a school and and just you know risking my life and risking the rest. blues musician terrans are kind of back so much for joining us here now to get to have you with us today thank you thank you. now over to atlanta hundreds of people there are gathered outside cnn's office to condemn the channel's coverage of the current events the logo of the company has also been vandalized i.
7:20 pm
i. i. i. will c.n.n.'s headquarters have already been attacked earlier this week as the protest over the killing of george floyd turn violent demonstrators smashed the windows and chanted slogans the channels also been facing criticism for apparently suggesting that foreign actors had a hand in starting up the riots. you know c.n.n. that russia might be behind some of the rioting and. the acts of violence and destruction and i. don't know they are both of our sailors russia's fault are the same also the peaceful folks and say are my community members these are the folks that live here and now we're going to where are you demanding change he seems more . i don't want to see inside job but i would say not necessarily people in the community are destroying things or organizing the riots at all it's kind of. the
7:21 pm
core of the people on the outside minnesota closer states like michigan and stuff like that a lot of the kids who are arrested last night were actually. from wisconsin here and in other states around here i don't think that's possible because the people i see rioting they're not russian they are there are 4 blooded americans you know and just people who choose to stand on the wrong side and i believe that they come in to cause confusion and chaos so that they can make the protesters look like like they're bad people and we don't have a cause but what it really comes down to is when you look at that video of george. floyd same i can't breathe i mean you're not human if you can't look at that and see that's wrong it doesn't matter for to policeman another man but this keeps
7:22 pm
happening over and over again and this culture has got to stop seeing it likes to make a lot of stuff i really don't think the russians would be down here doing this it's me we the writers and they're completely different group from the protests but you know everybody loves a conspiracy is a meanwhile c.n.n. has published an apparent response to the criticism saying not every bad actor on social media is personally sent there by russian president vladimir putin the protesters have now protests rather spread beyond the u.s. with thousands gathering in central london and the german capital as well as correspondents in berlin peter all of it has more on the european reaction. well there's been outrage here over the killing of george floyd that video of the black man gasping for breath as a white police officer knelt on his neck ignoring his pleas has been seen by many people here and that's been seen in the demonstrations and the demonstrators that have come out on to the streets of cities like berlin we saw demonstrations on
7:23 pm
saturday and on sunday where they marched from the courts both region of the city to the u.s. embassy near the brandenburg gate holding up signs like silence is violence hold cops accountable and who do you call when the police murder. emotions running high here in the german capital as well as what what has been going on in the united states. did not do enough. and. yet. on the old berlin wall in mauer park here in the german capital a mural depicting george floyd has gone up over the weekend that includes his words
