greetings and sell you taishan. well we've been subjected to a lot of bad this week from the presidential sanctioned violence committed to peaceful protesters were basically amounted to a trump campaign photo op to the brutal uses of tear gas riot shields and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters and journalists in new york city and los angeles and almost every major u.s. city in between there has also my friends been some bright shining moments of beauty and good amidst all of that i mean you could you could practically hear
1:33 pm
a sigh of relief echo across the country with news that iowa congressional republican and universally agreed upon terrible human being steve king lost his primary race on tuesday night. good feeling to know one less racist in congress but these early winds of change my friends are not just blowing across the united states of america as n.p.r. reports u.s. protesters rallying against the killing of george floyd and kahless other black americans are being heard around the world as demonstrators launch their own protests and the countries in countries such as the united kingdom germany canada iran and new zealand and many more but it's not only showing support for the racially and financially oppressed underclass here in the united states that has brought many of these global activists to the streets it's also the violence that law enforcement agencies have perpetrated in their own countries yahoo news reports that protesters are also calling for domestic chart changes in france there are
1:34 pm
demonstrations in response to the killing of black frenchmen the dhamma tarrar in 2016 in an australia protesters are calling for the government to re-examine the treatment of aboriginal peoples. and this includes our neighbors to the north and canada where toronto is currently reeling from the death of 29 year old black woman regis kaur chimpsky pocket who mysteriously fell to her death from her 24th floor apartment balcony after police were called to her apartment so today my friends let's examine the black lives matter movement outside of us borders as we look at canada's reaction to police violence against minorities as we start watching the us . what's going on in a city street you want to. see the crisis you always state see all these. crazy sick displays systemic deceptions
1:35 pm
leaks show which. brings up the jail as. well we're going to watch of the tyro been thrown out of the 6 joining us now to discuss the latest on the mysterious death of 29 year old black woman regis kurtz inskeep kept after trying to police were called to her home is r t correspondent in toronto alex male a bitch thank you for joining us alex. thanks for having me so alex please explain to our viewers what we know so far about the events leading up to this woman's death why were police called to her home and what were the and what are they saying took place the that led her to her death her fall. well what we're still waiting to hear from the toronto police services special investigations unit they usually look into cases like this where there's some discrepancy of what exactly went down but let me tell you something there's been a media leak from the toronto sun and this is basically the story that they are saying what they're saying happened here so mr packer has had some mental issues in
1:36 pm
the past her mother called the police to come because of a domestic dispute when the police arrived what they did at that point is actually separate the mother and brother from in this pocket herself to go inside to the bathroom couple police officers went inside the apartment with her while somebody stayed outside with the mother and brother and then out one point she bolted for the balcony according to toronto sun report she put some appliance to block that door of the balcony when a police officer saw that they basically ran to get to another apartment it looked like she was trying to get from one apartment about to another and before they could make it she fell to her death now from that account it looks like police were actually trying to help her. but the situation merits those some some interest in it this is a situation where you have somebody with a history of mental health issues it does not look like it's necessarily tied to
1:37 pm
racism per se that said we have had protests in the city because of this issue that we're tied directly to george floyd and what has happened in the united states and when you take it to that level this again when we talk about merit this is not without merit seeing that we do have our issues here in this country we do know that race some is systematic in canada our own premier here in ontario doug ford has also said that out loud after denying it in the beginning we do know we have an issue when you look at our prime minister justin trudeau in blackface just a few years ago and of course we have them the media picked up on that we do know we have an issue. when a former opposition leader stockwell day is just basically dismissing this in just the whole way the conservative element in this country is looking in to what has happened here in the past it's like i'm saying systematic racism and we're talking about anti black racism this is the issue of the day we know we have the same
1:38 pm
issues with aboriginal communities and other communities but let's talk about what's on the table here all you need to do is go to social media see my fellow canadians on there and you recognize you can recognize right from the 1st point that there is race of the racism in this country as much as we hate to hear it. and alex there's a lot to unpack here could you help us with the current status of the investigation into the toronto police actions on that day. so what the police are doing right now they were supposed to talk to the family of miss park at this week basically wrap all this up but with the toronto sun leak what police are saying is that they are pushing this further back and it looks like we will have some information by next week from the f.b.i. you itself as it stands and there seems to be some sort of you know there is looking at this report and there's something definitely there for people protesting we're going to see where that goes i mean if this does turn into something other
1:39 pm
than what the story is saying well then you know it's going to be just like in the states the people will have a reason to protest something that's it that does actually directly tie to racism but i sense as i said as it stands right now that seems to have nothing to do with racism and more to do with a mental health issue of an individual something that also police forces need to be very sensitive to and that's when they're approaching people that have these type of problems in their life. thank you very much alex for joining us today and giving us the breakdown on that case i think it's definitely one of the watch given the given as you said the nature of racism that we see in canada and around the globe. spacing a lot of different police departments thank you so much sir. thank you. america remains in chaos more than a week up to the death of george ward protests from coast to coast and here in the nation's capital hoping to put an end to police brutality and to push forward the black lives matter movement here now are some of the most powerful moments we've
1:40 pm
witnessed in the past few days and i will put a disclaimer on them they are wrong they are real and they are why would. i i. know you can't walk in fear because if you want to appear you're not going to be here. hot. water so. it's like we can't talk we can't breathe we can't walk can't we can't sleep we can't do anything can't drive without being here we can't even call the cops for our safety you. might say that unless. he got great great. great great great great great big. no i i think what's going on in philadelphia in that moment it's going for the mayor a lot of them to come out get him to get out right take
1:41 pm
a. break this name. comes from. god like a good restaurant. i mean. but you just see. a. situation where it. doesn't get help. because. i think that's again it is a federal. law state law for these interstate facilities to cite participate and fly. through.
1:42 pm
the united states will you know this whole thing is not is it meaning. that what i was filing that they don't stay silent anymore and that you know they said to speak about this time because these things are important to do we need to speak about this because hey we keep. going to stay the way they are. you know getting out right now and. joining us now also from trying to come out of the to bring us a deeper look into the case that we were discussing earlier with alex relevance and how it has affected the community and try to as well as the world as writer activists andre don't miss it thank you so much for joining us i want to start and ask you what bothers you and others in toronto so deeply about the police's actions surrounding this park cops death and what questions desperately need to be need to
1:43 pm
be answered at this moment. well unfortunately this is all too common we we have a gentleman by the name of angelo q who is experiencing a mental health episode and police were called to the building where his ex were and experienced the episode shortly afterwards he was shot to death not for a longer gentleman but name of the underage campbell wouldn't be a brampton area which is just outside of toronto suburban area it was also apparently experiencing a mental health that the so were some sort of disturbance and when the police showed up and he was shot to death and now we see it again where the circumstances behind behind the packet steps are still up to the special investigations unit it's still in question right now the fact of the matter is police were called to the home of somebody who was experiencing meant to help it so happens so. it's unfortunate that when people of the family member or friends or partners of some
1:44 pm
years' experience about the boat that was so is going or going through them to have questions as to whether they should even call emergency services what can happen what could be the end result of that. and under-rate we know here in america that americans have a very long sordid in pretty troubled history with u.s. law enforcement not only poor people of color but also indigenous peoples and we've heard time and time again that there is such a push to have these people often go to a place like canada that seen as so much better in terms of its handling of race how prevalent is racism in canada law enforcement community. i don't even really know what to tell you when people say things like oh you know it's different to canada they don't have the same kind of racism that exists in the united states unfortunately it doesn't help when our elected officials of people like our premier doug ford of ontario which is the most populous province of canada. france where they go the other premier. deny that stomach reaches them it's even a thing that exists but we know what that is because. this is the spirit out that
1:45 pm
we're terrible at collecting data get it we're awful like collecting statistics but we do have shows that there are a disproportionate amount the least violent the use especially 'd on the black people and done in the people these aren't conjectures these are plain facts we've had marches in canada not only for black lives but also for indigenous life we have proof that there is a genocide that's been acted on just indigenous people in canada that the young men especially from the just community do you think there's a portion about the least violent so when people in the united states and elsewhere talk about racism being different in canada i have to ask what are you talking about that's a great question to ask you know i want to finish up we've got to but a little bit of a minute left we have seen incredible response across the globe to the black lives matter movement here in the u.s. in light of joy george large data why do you think the countries like canada other countries around the world are so i'm bracing this movement we're seeing protests all over the world right now. will this is putting
1:46 pm
a spark to the human being people afraid of them not only in the united states but literally around the world you know if you can you can find replicates of that sort of and people that read the united states you can find it in united kingdom you can find it in mainland europe you can find in countries like south africa still it's still a problem we have to believe that we've made strides of progress in that racism is a thing of the past and unfortunately if you if you talk to people from black community just about anywhere in the world they will tell you know maybe blackness didn't just go away because there were some social strides made i think what you're seeing right now is the ordered this fall away and the idea that racism is a little longer a problem when you look at the fact that there are protests happening in every part of the state and. coming up for a reason it is that that is so true i want to thank you very much for coming on and really highlighting this for us and hope to have you back on again soon thank you so much for all the good work that you do in covering these issues as well right.
1:47 pm
thank you. all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the locks on the man through the brand new portable t.v. up available on all platforms coming up the n.f.l. is being accused of preposterously for their official stance on the protests taking brock in the united states taking place and then archie's burned bronze that brings us the latest on the fallout the president trumps threats of martial law straight to watch. you can be both with the yeah you like.
1:48 pm
so let's begin this government official a president i don't have faith in the system i said i've done so i'm just the broke the system that is that designed for people like. there's a lot of. different people different reasons the answer john we also have. those people in philadelphia are only about 2 paychecks away from homelessness.
1:49 pm
as protests continue in the wake of the george boyd more we've seen officers national guardsmen people of all races and backgrounds joining in solidarity some are taking me others are marching alongside protestors and giving voice to the voices but the solidarity doesn't stop there the race issues in america are also receiving support from professional sports coaches and players to even international in v.a. icon michael jordan known for his apathy and inaction in social justice movements is taking a stand and an interesting show of protest support also came from n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell the same goodell that made sure collin kaplan it would never play again after taking a neat just a few years ago here to tell us more is our t. american sports producer regina him i think to bring good news monday i would just one day and we're waiting for it we're waiting for that day while regina the n.f.l. is currently under fire for its response to the protests over the death of george
1:50 pm
ploy especially since it essentially blacklisted collin capper nick who's still is not able to be employed by the n.f.l. . particular me or that the national anthem what are some of the comments teams have made and how is the league's response being received overall oh the league oh the league game you know you're playing devil's advocate you're got your at least you said something like if they hadn't said anything the i or they would have drawn would be immense but you know the n.f.l. said they're saddened by the tragic events across our country the protesters reactions reflect the pain anger and frustration that many of them feel many of them interesting considering there's only 4 non white coat head coaches in the league one nonwhite owner and 2 not my g.m. and then the broncos coach vick then gio he decided to chime in and got himself in some hot water he said that the n.f.l. is only a meritocracy i don't see racism in the n.f.l. at all i don't see discrimination in the n.f.l. at all and of course as you can imagine many of his fellow coaches and other
1:51 pm
players in league kind of when you need to check yourself if you think there's no racism the n.f.l. this is the same lee that blackballed calling cabinet as a as much as you said where are you saying this is a totally fair you know league that we're going in with the owners that you're sorry we're we're we've all why why and why not write honor that our city isn't there yet you know you're pretty much like a crime in an oreo cookie there's a lot of frosting and one crow the denver broncos coach is trying to keep his job and you try to apologize he did he try to do that i realize i said it was wrong but it is a he that the problem didn't exist so if the n.f.l. is under how water and your brain is the side to add fuel to the flame saying that he doesn't agree with any way to disrespect the flag including somehow aaron rodgers aside and cabernets so it's been a weird stance in the n.f.l. and you see them kind of sticking their status quo nothing's changed you know if we switch over there's a there's another major sports league in the united states that actually has been
1:52 pm
making some pretty good strides in terms of what since all this started the n.b.a. has been praised for that only supporting players who protest. google should make strides towards legitimate changes within their league and terms of all they treat black affiliates how this is out of there compared to the n.f.l. with what their players and coaches are doing you see a lot more support from the top down in the n.b.a. you see adam silver the league's commissioner talking about how you know they do require players to stand for the anthem but they push your players go out and talk on social issues go out be active in your community and that's the big difference is the fact they want their place speak out actually it steph curry was just out protesting in oakland with the protesters there so they're encouraging their players they actually have a the national basketball association established a committee on in justice reform with gold state where as head coach steve kerr and gregg popovich of san diego spurs both very outspoken on social media about this cause and getting out and let me share their players are vocal about it and that is what we need to see in our professionally you need to see more of coaches and
1:53 pm
players and league officials be like talk about this please get involved it what cream of. jobar good lord i'm so angry about this you can hear it in my voice and he even came out and spoke about it so you need to see the other leagues the n. the n.h.l. the m l b the n.f.l. pushing their players that this is good to talk about this for the betterment of everybody absolutely and i think that in all of the leagues we need more coaches like steve kerr alive popovich to have the entirety of their careers being race forward being the people who are just extremely understanding of what's going on this isn't new to them they have a chance at this more decade no they they stand by what they say they stick by their morals and so much for bringing us this news from the sporting world it was a pleasure from. ordering tear gas attacks on peaceful protesters in the nation's capital backfired for u.s. president donald trump it looks like his last minute photo op in front of one of the d.c.'s oldest church is holding a bible wasn't the right move not only is trump facing criticism from the bishop of the local diocese of washington religious leaders throughout the country elected
1:54 pm
officials and concerned citizens troops top brass have spoken out to you. military advisor james miller jr resigned from his post in a strongly worded letter directly calling out secretary of defense marc answer in the letter esper is accused of by leading his oath to defend the constitution through his support of troops use of the military on peacefully protesting civilians joining us to shed more light on this developing story is r.t. correspondent. good to have you once more i'm so you were there moments before the now infamous picture was taken on monday and then the next day you were also there with protesters what was the energy like up heighten the protests you know it's funny to me so my photographer and i we were just minutes in front of where those canisters were fired so had we waited 5 more minutes we would have been in the thick of it all and the next day as you mentioned you know when i was with those protesters we also saw tons of religious leaders from all faiths coming out they were praying outside of st john's church where our
1:55 pm
live shot was set up to announce it we're trying to even have catholic priests going to the protesters and sprinkling holy water on them now these were some of the photos that i happened to take while we were there but it's monday's photo obviously that's the big issue that james miller has with defense secretary marc esper who actually published his resignation in the washington post writing the asper president transactions monday night violated his oath to take care that the laws be faithfully executed you may not have been able to stop the president but you could have chosen to oppose it instead you visibly supported it. you know it's interesting because now you have a whole lot of backpedaling going on since the spota war at the bottle started it seems like james miller is seeing what everyone else saw what is the trumpet ministration you know how are they are excusing this what of it what leg are they leaning on today reisa tyrrell so when when you think about when you were a little kid right and you got in trouble what's the 1st thing that little kids say i didn't know was going to happen right that's exactly what mark esper is now
1:56 pm
saying in fact trump is actually mad that he's backpedaling now but as for says that he was told that he was going to be doing just 2 things the 1st was just looking at the damage of st john's church from the night before because they got spray painted it was part of the basement caught on fire and talking with the troops in lafayette park which is directly across the street from the white house he also did push back on the media though saying that what was reported was actually an accurate listen of this. national guard forces did not fire rubber bullets or tear gas in the crowd as reported 2nd guardsmen were instructed to wear helmets and personal protective equipment for their own protection not to serve as some form of intimidation. and we also have another person who was on that walk the nation's highest ranking military officer echoing what asper just said and you also have attorney general bill barr he's coming out saying that it wasn't trump who ordered the gas canisters it was him trying to take all the blame off of trouble so again it's rewriting history or is it protesters reporters getting the facts wrong
1:57 pm
who's to say. that's a good question to ask very good question. fair and i got to say thank you so much and thank you for bringing that report to us live and thankfully you weren't caught in the middle but very dangerous photo op by our president thank you so much always a pleasure thanks. and we should just keep building and building doesn't that never seems to stop no no i do believe a word coming out of the white house when they talk about bill barr saying oh we're just trying to like you know stretch out the block and i don't believe a word out of the white house in general and i definitely think that you know this story keeps on changing and more things keep getting added to it it tells us that you know once you start a law you've got to keep the law going that seems to be the case isn't it it's like they just cannot give up the go it's like no we didn't look at this historic moment that i'm reading the members seem to read an awful p.r. piece talking to reporters today the white house press secretary saying like oh it always a great moment and really good she had an e-mail like a quote because you got to have one of those you're the only people who think that
