greetings and salutation. the united states of america is on fire in the course of just over one week's time thousands upon thousands of protesters have taken to the streets and city after city across the country from sea to shining sea to announce in one unified voice that black lives matter and that the violence and institutional racism of the u.s. criminal justice system and now. the rebellion my friends has begun and i don't use that word lightly i don't use rebellion lightly and while this massive uprising may have begun on the streets of minneapolis with the murder of a 46 year old black man george floyd. for minneapolis police officers for the

horrendous crime of supposedly buying cigarettes with a counterfeit $20.00 bill make no mistake. that the spark that ignited this fire was actually live centuries ago when the 1st african slave was forced to set foot on the american shores that marked the beginning of a 400 year struggle and fight for equality and the most basic of human rights and dignity that we are now seeing playing out on our streets today only difference being is that today's oppressors have have exchanged their white hoods and plantations for badges blue uniforms and the prison industrial complex and while the united states now burns in the fires of a police state gone wild where oh where my friends. is our leadership where oh where is our elected officials who is stepping up and calling for equality and justice for the masses as they fight against this police state who by the way are

now lighting up residence after curfew for the simple crime of standing on their own porch. right. leadership is certainly not coming from our good old brand name in chief one president donald trump who like the true chickenhawk he is on monday reportedly been raided the state leaders calling them weak and urged them to dominate protesters but yet when this want to be tough guy coward was confronted with over thousands and thousands of protesters at the gates of the white house rather than addressing the nation in an attempt to heal wounds and show any kind of true leadership and decency he turned off the porch lights and ran and hid in his basement. yes my friends the white house. went dark in our

times of trouble which it means which means it's time for us all to start watching the whole. you want to what's going on a cd you street you want to. listen to what you see see the prices you always state police traced mass graves see this least systemic deception is complete show which is i would say when you feel. welcome on the watching the hawks i have a rover and i will be surprised. if the protests in the wake joist george ford's murder ramp up across the u.s. the nation's capital was it left on american flags cars and historical landmarks were all set ablaze or defaced today marks the 3rd straight day of protests and civil unrest as the crowds keep getting worse and closer to the white house party

correspondent dan brunswick joins us live from the center of the action. yeah a couple hours ago here we've been covering this all afternoon there was hundreds of protesters now there's at least a couple 1000 here that have gathered in front of the white house now i want to talk about the people on this side of the fence with me i have black white brown young people all standing together in unity and talking about making making this protest a peaceful one we did have a little bit of a skirmish with a couple of the protesters going over the barricade taking in me were police actually sprayed them to get back behind the barricade but on the other side of this barricade i want you to take a look we have the d.c. and the park police that are in the front row then behind them we have the state police and then behind that we have a full force of military police or the d.c. national guard that just came in moments ago where protesters actually booed them when they came in now this is widespread president trump is calling on the state and local leaders to. get tougher on protesters and this is kind of the way that

he's doing it unloading on governors just hours ago calling them now after d.c. they are talking about a curfew that was put in place for 7 pm tonight which is in about an hour a lot of these protesters that i talked to say that they're going to be staying here well over that now just an hour before last night's curfew that was actually at 11 pm you had multiple fires in the area that were started including at the historic st john's church right in the downtown where many u.s. presidents have attended over the years you also had vandalism like what you see at the national mall where at the lincoln memorial there was a spray painted yellow not tired yet and at the world war 2 memorial it was written to black lives matter how again merit d.c. mayor marion browser has called in the entire d.c. national guard which is made up of about 1700 soldiers to help control these protests metro police arrested 18 people last night from 18 to 34 and they're also posting pictures on social media with images of people caught on security footage asking for the public's help to identify them now trouble earlier today did sit

down and speak with attorney general bill barr who is actually expediting the george floyd investigation also again having a closed door video conference with state governors across the country just a few hours ago along with law enforcement and national security officials who are there are proport on the inside that president john told him that they needed to step it up one actually quote coming out of the room from trump saying that it's a movement if you don't put it down it will get worse and worse the only time it's successful is when you're weak and most of you are weak trump also pointing out the minneapolis police department's 3rd precinct being burned a couple nights ago the city where the protests all began the tribe has been very vocal on where he stands on this issue mainly saying that those that are rioting and looting and causing violence are members of and yesterday he doesn't need it and as a terrorist organization tweeting i don't see any indication that there were any white supremacist groups mixing in this is an anti anti for organization now again that curfew was actually extended. tonight from 7 pm to 6 am and then again on

tuesday night i've been here with protesters all afternoon i got to tell you everything has i mean peaceful there has been a couple points are people have thrown stuff either eggs or water bottles at police over the barricades at other protests or visit actually stepped in and said hey we're not doing that we're keeping this peaceful another thing is people are walking around giving each other water pizza and after they're leaving they're actually picking up their trash and moving along forward so again that curfew ending in about an hour many of these protesters saying though that there will be staying well after that for now reporting in front of the white house for you guys there in france act from watching the hawks thank you for. well well well i don't think i'm wrong for referring to this as a rebellion in the national absolutely it has all of the energy of a 1000000000 it has years and years of frustration that it's been pent up because a lot of things that our government has done that have quite frankly negatively impacted the african-american community for generations now is the time that many

want to see that type of revolutionary action that causes lasting change and it is interesting because right before we went on the air live to be released the autopsy results or the family released an independent autopsy results from the george one of the absolutely so in stark contrast to the autopsy that would be out of the results that were originally given they found that the death was by expectation meaning that basically there was a cut off of oxygen and it was rendered due to the fact that the officer had his knee on george floyd's neck well that's interesting because and that's where the real heart of this problem is is that you have the state always saying one thing and always portraying one and when it comes to police violence in the media kind of jumps right along with them but yet when you're there on the street and what we're seeing in countless videos over and over and over again is something completely different and that to me is what's at the heart of these protests absolutely in this case. yes we saw a police thing into t.

as well as the original autopsy report basically colluding with each other to show that they were to try to eradicate responsibility from this officer they allegedly and originally said that they are the cause of death was preexisting conditions they blamed it on him having high blood pressure they blamed it on him having some artery issues things that are actually very common in the african-american community none of which after the independent autopsy came out were things that were actually cited as his reason of death it's truly incredible the kind of see that played out right before our very eyes that kind of duplicity when it comes to dealing with african-american issues and you understand where the protests are coming from but it is very quickly what sprite mean to me is what people need to understand is you know they see looting they see things like the. to me the police have been the biggest agitators in this entire week and they're the ones showing up dressed like star wars villains they're the ones pepper spraying the crowd they're the one shooting rubber bullets very rarely we have seen it thank god but very

rarely have we seen police actually step up and say no we're going to walk with you know we're going to take me with you rarely do we see that instead we see police acting like stormtroopers police have treated these protesters as aggressors from the beginning i think that's a very important thing to make clear we have seen such a stark contrast between the protest of african-americans in this country and the protest of whites in this country just a few weeks ago we saw you know a bunch of white man with a k 47 is walking up to state capitals looking threatening him in a thing also pretty much popping off on a leopard leaders meeting in the face of the police officers and we did not see a call for violence against those protesters now when african-americans decide to march to hold signs then we see a different type of reaction police automatically aggressive police shooting off their their their guns and their bullets seeing a lot of the gas being used on the population i think that you know this shows us

that there is one population of people that have a right to protest in this country another population that needs to stay quiet that's exactly what this shows. after days of protests and riots across the country many many u.s. suppressions are looking for someone to blame for the violence because you know they can't they can't blame themselves they can't blame their own failed policies and lack of leadership you know we have to point fingers find someone to blame and twist in the countries that routinely receive the most harsh or some criticism from washington d.c. and their handling of for their handling of protests are now pointing out the hypocrisy here inside the united states artie's rachel blevins joins us now to discuss the details thank you rachel how are these countries and what countries are they and how are they responding to the protests. but we're seeing them here in the . well china has been one of the most vocal countries and it's interesting because just recently we see a protest in hong kong where the united states is cheering on the protesters encouraging them but also criticizing china for wanting to crackdown on those

protests now when it comes to the protests that are happening here in the u.s. china is taking a different approach and we saw a spokesperson from china's foreign ministry speaking out and she took to twitter where she actually shared a broadcast from r.t. america which highlighted the contrast between how the tramp ministration referred to those who take part in the riots here in the u.s. as dogs and those who take part in riots in hong kong as heroes then iran's foreign minister added to the mix also on twitter and responded by releasing a previous statement from the us where he made a few changes so that instead of claiming the people of iran are tired of the corruption and justice and incompetence from their leaders the statement targeted the u.s. government and cited the american people so it's interesting to see 2 of the main countries that the u.s. has always criticizing for cracking down on protesting now being able to point out the hypocrisy. hypocrisy is something that the u.s. has known. rachel and we know that this this administration the trump

administration doesn't like to take the blame or much of anything right now we've heard from them the blame game being played with various various entities around whose fault it is that people are in the streets protesting who do you hear the white house is to blame as well as other nation leaders it was interesting to see that both current and former officials seem to be wanting to point just about anybody else other than who is actually to blame and who the people in the streets are calling to hold accountable and this is something that we've seen specifically during a recent interview from former national security advisor susan rice and she said quote based on my experience this is right out of the russian playbook we cannot allow the extremists the former actors to distract from the real problems we have in this country now current national security adviser or. robert o'brian also backed up that statement and he said there right now the u.s. is monitoring the online activities from china russia iran and even zimbabwe as to how they're tied to the protest right now so it's interesting to see that they're

trying to look at how other countries are playing a role in these protests and really amping them up and sort of looking at what's happening and going on here at home it was a year the race for the route american history isn't enough to amplify and get black people in the streets but somehow these other nations are you know sporadically creating to serve measure didn't you realize a long time ago that russia is responsible for all of the racism in the united states that the united states government it was never once racist towards the book towards black folks in this country and there's no example of that you know i know where is it bob or a apparently involved way you know rachel thank you so much for that report craig great job thank you so much think. as we go to break remember that you could also start watching dogs on demand for the brand new portable t.v. which is available on smartphones through google play on the apple app store by searching portable t.v. or streamers to your t.v. by downloading the portable t.v. up on apple t.v. or online at portable t v all right everybody coming up independent journalists and photographers in

minneapolis and really strong joins us to discuss the targeting of the media by police in these protests we're seeing across the country states watching the. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is also a very dramatic development the only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. you sit.

well here are the lines for those of you keeping score. cities are on fire. 40000000 unemployed. in america. g.d.p. climbed by 50 percent in the 2nd quarter. the money is dead. small businesses are dead. and jay powell says this is fine because it. is a fun time. according to several sources felisa united states kills from 2 to 4 people every day. and.

one of my being arrested for. their little. established. us against. a long. time 25 has. never had to shoot someone holding a loaf. there is a corruption. the

work of a journalist is never done as a news professional your primary job is to provide up to date accurate information to readers and viewers to speak truth to power and serve as a check on institutions leaders and to question the world around us at times the job of journalists puts their lives at risk or the reporting for war torn regions or reporting on protests and civil unrest right here at home throughout the protest an escalating aggression over the death of yet another unarmed black man journalist have endured arrest beatings shootings and many of those incidents were televised live for the world to see journalist on the ground in minneapolis ground 0 of the juror george boyd protest expressed anger and upset over how law enforcement officials seemingly took a page of president trump's playbook choosing to target the media instead of allowing them to just do their jobs on friday night a journalist was shot in the while covering the protests another from a local n.b.c.

affiliate was ordered to hit the ground at gunpoint by minneapolis p.d. in the most widely shared police a risk c.n.n. correspondent omar human is and his crew were arrested while doing a live broadcast joining us now to discuss the reality on the ground for journalists caught between covering the news and the police state is in the future and with the minneapolis photographer in lisa ron. welcomingly. hello. immolate we've seen protests against police brutality before rodney king look while macdonald and protests were held in 100 cities in the wake of the trayvon martin verdict and i don't recall journalists being targeted by police like what we're seeing in minneapolis right now what do you attribute this to and do you think president trump anti media rhetoric plays into this treatment. i think all around we're seeing things very different right now because we've been in the middle of a global pandemic which is different for the protesters on the ground but also different for the police there was thought that we would have civil unrest

because of the pandemic because of the lockdowns i believe that law enforcement was probably preparing for something like that to happen and the murder of george floyd one week ago today was probably just the spark that kind of lit that i think that they were probably ready for this and not why they're responding incredibly heavy handed quickly more more quickly than we've ever seen before it's pretty incredible so you know you but on the ground there would be doing a lot you know taking a lot of photos and live streaming a lot of the protests and it's interesting because for a lot of these journalists we're seeing both mainstream and an alternative news despite showcasing credentials journalists are still being arrested not only is this a violation of their constitutional right but it also is but also the rest of journalist as your earlier claim to the press suppression you often see in dictatorships around the world how did we get here in your opinion. you know what i've

been out there in the middle of this and being concerned about mike safety despite having gear on and having my credentials visible the thing that i keep going back to is how similar this feels to me what sheeple have been dealing with in gaza with journalists and medics both being targeted there. medics are also being targeted here as well i've i've heard from lots of medics and just overheard the meeting with each other talking about how to keep safe that they're being targeted at this location maybe they were at the last location and it really makes me think about what i've seen coming out of gaza for years and. a lot of our police forces in the united states are trained there in israel there are also some people from israel to come here to train police forces to so

a connection that i've just been making kind of on my own when i'm out there in the field and experiencing what's going on around me. that's an interesting i think a very pertinent connection to make i have to look into that one a bit more that's one of the things i haven't yet heard but a month much of the aggression towards the media is seen on live t.v. so americans are watching as journalists are thrown to the ground as they're handcuffed as they are arrested and journalists are for their part doing their own facebook lives in other streams talking about the abuse as a whole and this hasn't seemed to slow down the brutality or the nonsensical arrest from the minneapolis p.d. what do you think journalists have to do to be safe and what have you been doing to stay safe. i've been keeping my distance more than i normally would it's it's unfortunate you know when i'm live streaming i've got people in my comments telling me to get closer i have 2 young kids so i have to keep my own safety in mind for family so i'm not getting as close as i want to which is unfortunate because my job

is to show exactly what's going on and what we're seeing like you mentioned if there's independent people being targeted there's national news from local news that are well known and journalists from what i've seen whether they're independent or their local or their national everybody is very well marked people have helmets on people have vests on that are labeled creswell i have my if credentials on right now. i feel like everybody's as visible as they want as they can be unless we go around with like bright yellow clothes on but in that case julie want to be more visible because what that make us a target because it just seems like it continues to come because we've seen plenty of video. journalists very clearly being close to the police and they're well marks and they're yelling that they're pressed that they're still being targeted and so i i don't know if there's anything that is i know that we can do to protect ourselves

right now that's what makes this truly frightening and i've never quite seen in the media in this country you me usually there's always kind of a blue line that separates you know mainstream media they're usually behind the police barricade reporting from the rear you know and then you know a lot of alternative media and things like that are out amongst the protesters the 1st time i've seen them go after both sides of the media spectrum which is truly frightening were go a little time left i want to ask you would newsrooms newspapers and digital platforms are cutting staff and fewer journalism students in the pipeline what message is the police treatment of journalists in this protest now sending to potential future news people when they are sitting back at home saying maybe i don't want to do this job if i have to worry about losing an eye to it you know to go to a rubber bullet you know what message are they sending. they're probably sending a message a message like that where people are concerned about their well being if they want to get into the industry but i i do think that it's also empowering some people who

want to shed a light on what's going on and giving them or more fuel and more about what they should to do with interest. there will be some people who are turned away definitely unfortunately because. it's so so important the real real true nature of journalism which but i do see more people taking out their phones and more simple kind of american citizen journalists right now so i think. i mean way and very quickly i just want to follow up and ask are you seeing any kind of are you seeing any kind of violence that we're seeing from the police towards media are you seeing that violence at all come from the protestors toward the media there that are covering members i think there's a port it's important for people to know if any of the i mean of the protestors are doing the same thing. media that we're seeing from reporters. that i've seen with my own eyes i know inevitably sometimes things like that happen in a situation especially if you're in a ring. like linked in or something and you have

a friend who is in california capturing some of the thing that was going on and get attacked for that and i personally a few days ago i was mugged on the way back to my car after covering the protest but that was that had nothing to do with me being media i don't get the sense that the people out protesting are out to get me or are going to harm me i feel much more threatened by the state troopers the minneapolis police not so much the same all police actually i just want to know if you know it's very different in st paul and it does and. i want to thank you sir thank you so much for coming on and keep up the good hard work that you're doing up there as an independent journalist and letting people see the truth of what's happened thank you so much for coming on and reporting for us thank you so much for having. already voted today remember everyone and this is important in this world we are definitely not told your love

the muffs or tell you all i love you i am a rover during the amnesia crop keep on watching those hawks all for stay safe everybody have a great day and night. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from to let it be an arms race is on this very dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. thank you because you know the ones we got us. you know why he didn't know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired coach you don't need a crate with him he will just stir reaching out into the wilderness for him anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs are caged in the in human conditions

on puppy farm i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. because you. know it's true chaos across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and it still has most of the poppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a group businesses are involved like agoa mom center there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial rating for so many days most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog.

riots against police brutality in the united states stretch now into a 7th consecutive night president trump says that if the situation worsens he'll do whatever it takes to end the protests. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. for the home that other countries call him out for double standards when it comes to. how violent protests.
