5:01 pm
just moments ago we just learned that u.s. attorney general bill barr was the person who ordered the law enforcement to push back on those protesters monday night for more on this let's turn to our fronsac who's standing by just outside of the white house where all this went down there and what's happening. all right so no you mentioned there that attorney general bill barr he is the one that gave the order and because of that order as we said now we were actually there mill yesterday had we left 5 minutes later we would have let my self or my photographer j.t. we would have been in those tear gas canisters with the smoke flying if we would have waited just another 5 minutes but what happened was is you had a good attorney general bill barr making that order and unfortunately now you have the early county police department removing their police presence here mariel browser saying that she actually didn't even remember calling them on but arlington county saying that they don't want their officers to be part of that for quote

5:03 pm
gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs are students looters criminals rioters. and others. now i know the difference here today that we're seeing is yesterday you had those barricades that came about to my waist today we do have these extremely high fences now if you do hear some bangs or pops that is it any gunshots or any rubber bullets firing what it is is they're banging the there are posters on the fence and actually some process of getting a little bit rough with the friends with the fence but it is they're installed by the national guard it was put up this morning because again the bar ordering those tear gas canister canisters to be used yesterday because he thought this was all going to be cleared off for trying to make his way here to st john's church now the other thing that's actually interesting is following that photo op today you had a very large religious presence you have a religious leaders from all areas you had a mom's rabbis catholic priests going through the crowds actually sprinkling people

5:07 pm
alert after several days of demonstrations that did turn violent are to correspondent john harvey is live out of miami for us with more info john what's going on. well manila there's a substantial number of people marchers protesters behind me here i'm going to kind of step out of the way let my photojournalist andre shoot this we've been following the crowd we're on northwest 20th street where just basically around the corner from the university of miami hospital from the justice center area it seems that they're heading towards what's called the historic overtown district and the downtown miami area which is where a lot of these protests have been centered over the last few days today this is as you can see it is peaceful yeah they're blocking some way to traffic but overall people seem to be patient with it they're doing a good job kind of staying out of the way letting people get around them over the weekend things that take a violent turn up points where protesters clashed with police here in miami and downtown miami but since yesterday it has been peaceful so much so that the city of
5:08 pm
miami mayor francis warres tweeted out today quote i am proud of miami i am proud of our residents and i am proud of our police who have made this city a model of how a peaceful protest can deliver an impactful message and likewise earlier today mayor carlos gomez the mayor of miami dade county said that miami dade is united along with the rest of our county and the rest of our country in denouncing the horrific crime against george floyd by 4 officers in minneapolis i am with you in mourning and i wholeheartedly support our communities right to peacefully protest and just a little while ago about 40 minutes ago for. you minutes ago mayor jimenez also said that reports that a federal riot teams were sent to miami due to the escalation of protests were untrue this goes with the reporting including some of the reporting i did yesterday that attorney general william barr had ordered bureau of prisons riot teams to washington d.c. and miami to deal with the protests and now according the mare jimenez that is
5:09 pm
untrue teams were sent just to secure federal facilities so i wanted to be clear about that but there throughout the state of florida there have been number of protests mainly over the last 2448 hours peaceful protests though over the weekend things did take a violent turn in tampa in tallahassee and in jacksonville florida as well and for the most part governor ronda santas the governor of florida has pretty been pretty much silent however monday night he released a statement and bear with me on trying to pull it up here saying that quote for to have 0 tolerance for violence rioting and looting george floyd's murder was appalling in the minnesota perpetrators need to be brought to justice but this cannot be used as a pretext for violence in our florida communities and then he added that 700 national guard soldiers have been mobilized throughout the state along with their 200 florida highway patrol troopers to assist various cities and counties also
5:10 pm
making headlines today i should add this were comments from the polk county sheriff grady judd who warned about criminal protesters he said going into various neighborhoods polk county by the way is in central florida where there's been some violence over the weekend but since then things have really been overall peaceful still judge said this listen to people poke around like. they have guns. i'm courage them to own guns and they're going to be in their homes to mug with their guns loaded i think if you try to break into their homes to steal. so definitely a controversial statement and some saying they're not really sure that's exactly helping the overall situation but again back to the scene here in miami as we follow along with the protesters andras let's you know what let's step up here on
5:11 pm
the sidewalk because we do have traffic you could see it is a large group several 100 but they are peaceful they are marching towards downtown miami and by the way the city of miami in light of the peaceful protest going on has lifted the curfew that happened yesterday but still a curfew remains in effect in the county of miami but overall at this point manila things are peaceful we'll see if that remains the case going into the rest of the week and the coming weekend we know about 200 there solid reporting thank you. over now to paris where riot police fired tear gas at protesters there who have been throwing projectiles and even setting things on fire in the city this follows thousands of people rallying peacefully around the paris courthouse in homage to adama a french black man who died while in police custody the demonstration turned into a rally in support of black lives matter. and in st louis missouri 4 police
5:12 pm
officers were hit by gunfire after a peaceful protest quickly became violent monday the police department says the officers were taken to a nearby hospital with injuries and are expected to recover it's still not clear who fired the shots. and to seattle where demonstrations continued through the night with hundreds gathering outside of city hall and even though the mayor imposed a curfew there protesters defied those orders and continued marching then over in colorado hundreds of protesters also gathered near the state's capital overnight a group of people including denver's police chief marched in. on of the capitol building. ari does president trump have the legal authority to deploy the military or national guard troops to cities and states we're going to discuss that next with our panel of guests and then over at sports see what some of the biggest names in tennis are doing after the death of george floyd and to keep up with all the latest news and for anything you might have missed make sure you download our

5:18 pm
that they don't space time maybe more and you know he said to speak about these things are important we do need to speak about this because they we keep quiet. these are just going to stay the way they are. you know you know. and as major cities across the country burn and businesses not yet reopened from the coronavirus lockdowns get ransacked president trump has threatened to use military force to restore order while that may sound heavy handed he has the power to do that according to title 32 and title 10 posse comitatus and the insurrection act the question is should he so joining us to discuss investigative journalist and will bust co-host ben swan and attorney and media analyst lionel lionel media a line i'd like to go to you 1st you are in new york city the scene of the worst
5:19 pm
looting and also the hometown of potest breakdown for us what title 32 and 10 are please and how this may be a political to what's happening across the country. ok the 1st rule is posse comitatus has been around says $878.00 it provides as follows there is a firewall between civilian law enforcement and the military the 2 are not to be confused the marines the army cannot be involved in arrests can you be involved in law enforcement however from time to time as we know in terms of if ever there is a natural disaster or sometimes a what help then we enter in the insurrection act of 1807 in certain circumstances rarely apply the last time was from george herbert walker bush during the rodney king riots but for the most part whenever there's a natural disaster the president can issue cannot allow can share can send federal military to states the question is must they be required but in this case
5:20 pm
a question is this if the president feels that a particular state york florida or wherever is not doing enough to maintain national order can he separately on his own even over the objection of that governor send u.s. military to that state that's the issue i respectfully submit you betcha now ben lytle just explain to us what these codes in are the broader question is should the president and both these powers to suppress protests. and i think the answer to that is a resoundingly no he should not look i understand the president feels the need to get out in front of this and he feels like a lot of governors and local municipalities are not doing enough to quote violence and to stop this from going on but he is wrong to think of the answer to that is to send military into the streets it sets a horrible precedent it just it piggybacks off of the growing frustration that
5:21 pm
people have having said that i've got to tell you another i'm so sick and disgusted with the fact that there is so much rioting going on the burning the looting the brick throwing. that is not the response that should be taking place here what's taking place right now is you have these violent protesters a few of them who are robbing legitimate protesters of their voice and of taking a stand that will actually mean something so when you have sauza as a pontins of thousands of people going to the streets who are calling for real change that change is being drowned out by violent actions that have no actual solution to the problem at hand yeah and lionel last night was probably the worst night in new york city so far governor andrew cuomo is going toe to toe with a mare bill de blasio today in a very what i would say a very trump best move effectively saying the mayor failed at his job is it time
5:22 pm
for the governor to call in the guard or will president trump beat him to the punch . the very fact that we're debating this let me explain something that my esteemed colleague and great friend ben brings up i am i am very worried about things called martial law i don't want the substitution of civilian law for military tribunals however all law enforcement supplemented as we speak right now live there is downtown in new york groups of people whether they're n.t.v. whether they were provocateurs a let others decide but they are passing out literature there were teams of coordinated groups that are scouting places that are going to be hit there are bricks that are showing up miraculously and there are indeed protesters but when you have such a significant number and they are saying we're going into these suburbs next now what's happening you have
5:23 pm
a governor here who is realizing he is losing the battle he he wants more than ever to be the democratic nominee he was doing terrific under covert but as we know cold it is gone social distancing went the way of the spittoon so you're having a real battle now between governor cuomo and mayor de blasio as to who's going to take charge but i'm telling you for donald trump can do it if you want but you got to do a very very carefully and be careful how you redefine this thing called the constitution and definitely and ben you and i have been on the ground at several protest over the years riot scenes many years ago when the hands up don't shoot surfaced and ferguson i was on the ground in baltimore following the friday gray death and the writing there yes compared contrast those riots with what we're seeing now are they piggybacking on a common theme or is there a disparity between the 2 yet there really as i was in ferguson as you mentioned i was also in baltimore look there is a big difference here i'm folks need to understand this it's not just
5:24 pm
a growing sentiment it with ferguson in baltimore there were riots there was violence that took. place there were not people being bussed in from outside communities and as lionel just said the fact that pallets of bricks keep showing up mysteriously on corners where the march route was going to be and what the protesters have to understand is that the people doing this are not your friends they are not trying to help your cause they are literally there to disrupt believe this that if if bricks are thrown and buildings are burned your message is not getting out and actual change is not coming except for change for the worst with what we see with the president doing now say a military will roam our streets and arrest people because we now need military to police it's insane and those people who are doing this are not on the side of black lives matter they are not on the side of change you're on the side only real quickly gentlemen i'm almost out of time this question goes to both of you justin
5:25 pm
amash the libertarian congressman from michigan he's proposing a bill that would end the production of steel in police officers flipping the 1967 skoda swilling of qualified immunity to foster change and policing good idea bad idea lionel. good idea because it's ridiculous because you could not sure police officer unless you have established somewhere else some qualify or some provision that allows you to do it police have to be immune to it up to a point but you mustn't be kicked out of court merely because nobody's had this case prior to you ben a lot about john good idea and it doesn't go far enough because the other thing we have to do is we have to eliminate policing for profit as long as there is a profit mechanism built into policing gear here. yeah very good points gentlemen ben swann and lionel of lionel media thank you for your time today. our regina hands over the sports h.q. test players around the world are uniting all on social media for this very significant cause and using their voices for good because they're taking to the
