or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is to be in the world's richest country. police chief quits as another african-american dies at the hands of police on the turbulent night in atlanta or in the united states. in the main stories from the week black protesters in seattle occupy 6 blocks of the city center declaring a given autonomous. divans law and order and threatens to send in the army. vehicles and drones are frequently seen during the george floyd protests the increasing militarization of the us police is questioned.

by the very good evening weekly here. another black man has died at the hands of police sparking violent unrest in the u.s. city of atlanta the city's police chief resigned after an officer fatally shot the african-american while he was being arrested on saturday night coming up for you know body camera footage of the incident and i must warn you you may find these pictures disturbing. too much to drink to be. it's not. something. late on friday police received a call that a black man was sleeping in his car which was waiting in the queue at a burger drive 3 rashad brooks was breath tested and failed but he then resisted arrest during the struggle that ensued he appears to grab and offices taser and

later pointed while fleeing into this moment he was shot and died later in hospital protests to set fire to the restaurant where the killing took place all in the incident atlanta's mayor said that the officer who pulled the trigger had been sacked the other one involved was suspended while the city's police chief had quit attorney riggs told us what he thinks will happen next. i think people don't try to argue on both sides but georgia law is quite clear you cannot use lethal force in response to non-lethal force 'd so i think it will fall says will be charged with murder and we've had conversations with the district 'd attorney in this case and he's opened an independent investigation separate and apart from the georgia bureau of investigation and people need to understand that law enforcement is not the law in georgia the law in georgia happens in courtrooms you cannot use. non you cannot use lethal force to match a non lethal force there is a case of tennessee versus gardner united states free in court cases stands for

their opposition so i think that this case is going to end up in the superior court of johnny with murder charges against both officers. who also took to see ben swan investigative journalist and co-host of artie's boom bust to explain why the use of force by police sparked such outrage in ireland. in almost every case where we're seeing black lives matter protests it comes down to use of force and it really seems to be the overwhelming theme that we see over and over and again so the point you're making here it's critically important that some people will say yes why do you should and like others will say you came across a man who was asleep in a drive through and he wasn't moving his car and that when the drive through you gave him a sobriety test he resisted being handcuffed so at what point is it incumbent upon an officer to finish that arrest and to get this person behind bars how important is it to lock him up and that's where some process protesters feel the use of force

comes down to a common sense issue of this person did not seem to be a danger to the public he wasn't harming anyone at the time so why did you feel the need as officers and i'm this not necessarily my criticism but certainly the criticism of some protesters why is there a need by officers to ask elate what's happening with that person. here. meanwhile new b.l.m. protests have erupted in other parts of america hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets of portland to protest against racism and police brutality activists from the plotlines want to move in which case by the police he deployed to guess it's been almost 3 weeks is george floyd was killed at the hands of law enforcement in minneapolis on tuesday the man whose death sparked nationwide riots was buried in a small private funeral in his hometown of houston texas earlier that day thousands paid their respects. on tuesday around $6000.00 mourners filed past the coffin in

houston the final stop in a series of memorials held employees on around $30000.00 was spent on a gold casket money taken from a record breaking fundraising campaign that amassed nearly $13000000.00 the fallout from floods death has provoked claims politicians are trying to use it to school to . points democrats were criticized by some for kneeling in an 8 minute silence in congress the length of time posting to say the flood was pinned under a white police officers need before he died. every american should try to stand in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to acknowledge the pain of george floyd and the pain of racism it's hard enough to grieve but it's much harder to do it in public it's much harder with the whole world watching your incredible family his little daughter was there i want to change the world and i think her daddy's going to change the world hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is

a great thing that's happening for a country this is a great great day in terms of equality i just want to finish by saying to save the economy we passed several pieces of critical legislation. for this. to take place. with democrats have proposed a justice in policing act which would make it easier to prosecute misconduct and require local police to report dates their own use of force officers would also be obliged to undergo bias training and chokeholds another dangerous practices would be prohibited officers would also have to wear body cameras political commentator charles believes there's a clear political motivation behind the babe's. you know what they say right i mean never let a good crisis go to waste there will definitely be people from both sides who are going to capitalize on what happened in georgia. to bolster their political careers it is an election year so it's hard to tell whether or not the people really

pushing for this are really wanting to affect change or if they're posturing for november the true test of whether people really want to affect change will will occur after the election is over if this is still going to be an issue that we're going to be pushing in our in our media and also at it in at a political level as well then it is possible for 'd or positive change to come. at the beginning of the week black lives not a process this seize control and barricaded themselves into 6 blocks of central seattle and calling the area the capitol hill autonomous the move came after police had retreated from the neighborhood hundreds of demonstrators led by the local council occupied city hall. i. was. protesting cycle for the city limits of quits and ickes jenny to kind of not being strict enough when implementing reforms there's

a claim the community and not politicians should be controlling decision making to this this evade the loge told us that the key demand of demonstrators is for the police to being defunded. meena mean i would say that i could see right now is that people are they calling for the defunding of police you know nationwide if you were to take out funding from the police and put it into communities that really need it you know for deescalation for medical services hospitals education you know the list goes on and there really is no need for a police. officer in itself is a self declared commune no police cars are allowed into the area and reports suggest that some inside are armed the city's mayor later defended the protesters saying they are just patriots for the interim demanded law and order in seattle he also called out those he felt were responsible saying that all of this had happened in a radical left democrat state. to send in the army if local authorities didn't deal

with the situation but the issue of law and order is nothing new fact it's been on the lips of both republican and democrat presidents for more than 5 decades. law and order perhaps more familiar as the popular t.v. show you running for 3 decades already law and order. but also exactly what's triggered nationwide protests across the united states. that the us. law and order is the 1st responsibility of government don't send people up there that come home and talk tough on law and order and crime and then go back and vote some other way are they were allowed to merely a symbol of law and order a policeman on the campus and that was the moment when the ringleaders should have been taken by the scruff of the neck intro and out of the university one. by law and order i mean on order for everybody we've got to reestablish respect for law

respect for order law and order a concept that's existed since the founding fathers the catchphrase that helped take richard nixon to the white house during mass civil unrest and race riots. around 200 people died back then in clashes martin luther king was assassinated so waving in a new era for society nixon proposed an agenda in which police powers were about to increase in 1968 the green light was given for the use of stop and search and powers have expanded since in new york it became infamous stops dramatically increasing under mayor michael bloomberg in the 2 thousands. but it raised a key issue racial prejudice during the peak of the program more than half of the people stopped were black but the black community made up just over one quarter of new york's population and 1st started at new york 7 philadelphia this tell us

this southern its 1st stop was there as new ways to keep order were introduced laws became tougher since 1928 states have adopted some form of what's known as the 3 strike practice it meant lengthy sentences for repeat offenders even life behind bars the policy came in as the war on drugs peaked which raised further questions of racial targeting at the turn of the century more than half of all inmates serving time for drug offenses in state prisons were black 3 years ago it was still around 30 percent despite any being 13 percent of the population as a whole with both police powers and sentencing increased prison numbers skyrocketed there are more black people than any other racial group behind bars in america something that has not changed under bill clinton george bush or barack obama for

every 100000 people in the u.s. sentences for black people a 5 times higher than whites. so law and order it was a response to rioting like the unrest ravaging the united states from coast to coast in 2020 provoked by police actions it happened in los angeles in $92.00 after the beating of rodney king by the authorities it happened after the 2014 shooting of michael brown in ferguson a year later in baltimore with the death of freddie gray. in the last 5 years on record. the number of those fatally shot by the police per 1000000 people is higher among blacks than any other ethnicity and now history is repeating itself yet another police related death has provoked unrest and again

triggered discussion on black rights so as we look back on what's unfolded since nixon and his slogan in the sixty's donald trump has reassured the nation now saying i am your president of law and order the troubles demands for law and order come at a time when police in america are becoming increasingly militarized and the forces now both the kind of hardware previously only seen in front line combat brought on the scale of more pain has details. predator drones are a staple of u.s. foreign policy they have been used in afghanistan pakistan bosnia serbia yemen iraq syria somalia and now minneapolis though the protesters didn't see it it was flying over their heads in order to help federal officials gain situation awareness and go reports indicate it was on armed people are angry and afraid the deployment of drones and offices to surveil protests is a gross abuse of authority and it's particularly issuing when they used against

americans who are protesting law enforcement brutality it appears that the war on terror has come home the mine resistant ambush protected vehicles built by the u.s. military to a stand attacks in iraq have been rolling down american streets as well the 1033 program allows the u.s. military to provide local police departments with weapons local police can order weapons like remade launchers automatic rifles and bayonets as well as body armor robots aircraft watercraft and surveillance drones these are defense department products deemed to be excessive old or surplus $7400000000.00 worth of defense department property has been provided to over $8000.00 different law enforcement agencies by the 1033 program ex new york city mayor michael bloomberg once referred to the new york city police department saying i have my own army and the n.y.p.d.

the 7th largest army in the world well with lots of military equipment the n.y.p.d. certainly does seem like an army barack obama rolled back the program after the ferguson protests and national outrage about the militarization of police who. are. now back. however trump has ruled by the program now many are asking the question why does the department of defense have so much excess gear that it needs to unload anyway the u.s. has been involved in so many words that they become occupations and the military is has developed techniques were operating as an occupying army and they've brought these home they brought the war home after they made by these things and the military you know uses some of them they become surplus or if they don't buy of

them all you know the military orders a certain number and then they back out of buying some of it a lot of the stuff sitting in military warehouses and so they want to get rid of them and basically congress passed a law saying that these things are to be given to police departments so we have the ridiculous situation where small towns are being given em wraps they're totally impractical they don't make any sense they're terribly intimidating though. and that's part of the purpose i guess for years americans have been told that the military budget is necessary to keep them safe and protect them from bad actors around the world but it's starting to look like the bad guys these weapons are intended to be used against our a lot closer to home the very people whose tax dollars pay for them it will mop and artsy new york. the 10s of thousands of kind of are steps in the a.t.m. public anger towards its leadership of the crisis the blog now accuses russia and

china of waging this information war during the one demming the story still to come . there was a period let's call it the uni polar you know period after the our end of the cold war with the u.s. and nato countries and other people sort of wanted russia to become what they described as a normal country what they meant by normal was a country that was democratic by western standards that was capitalists now it was a member of u.s. led international rules based order established by the u.s. i think a lot of people saw that as sort of permanent 2nd class status in the u.s.

system and i think it's pretty clear that russia in particular has been pushing back on that. welcome back after being a coronavirus hot spot european union is emerging from the global crisis and is starting to point the finger of blame blocs accusing russia and china of orchestrating a mass this information campaign during the pandemic and the e.u. commission is also calling on social networks not only to delete everything they think is fake but also to produce reports on the work they have done the details. oftentimes you hear what europeans see big headlines about disinformation and

trolls and you just wonder that the russians or the chinese really have nothing better to do but then you read the headline again disinformation waves have hit europe during the current virus pandemic there originating from within as well as outside their opinion disinclination in terms of the corona virus can kill we have a duty to protect our citizens by making them aware of false information and expose the ex is responsible for a gaijin in such practices some years ago europe took action it created east strata com task force which runs a website e.u. the disinfo to identify and to track this information and think news every year they get millions of euros and the blessings of top europe crowds to do their thing leading elites in europe. were in wall street the

very much of the level of progress. and so all of course it's. one goal of those 2 green for worked all night years who want to bring forward a society or bring forward 5000000000 euro for something like finding freight news in 2018 e.-v. disinfo targeted dutch media outlets largely europe skeptic outlets surprisingly enough labeling their stories fake news but which they were soon forced to correct themselves because they lied and of course a lot of them bassman for the e.u. our analysis demonstrates that each universe is does in force headlines and summaries border on dissent from asian according to the east rat columns own definition of the term so they visit r.t. for example and report a sentence entirely out of context such as this bill gates is working on deep population policies and plans for dictatorial control of world politics that's

insane you might say how could our t. say such a thing well we didn't here's the full extract. and italian legislator has succeeded in taking the absolute theories of the koran epidemic to new heights by using her platform in parliament to denounce bill gates as a vaccinate and alleged globalist tool so odd like many european and italian outlets route a story about and i quote absurd theories which by the taliban and pete evy disinfo cop out the part where an italian m.p. said it and ignored the part where a plethora of other media outlets reported it and tried to frame it as if odd she said it like there was no m.p. and nazi was publishing ludicrous conspiracy theories and you'd never know unless you went to check the fact checkers so it's a stretch to call them that the creative artist came from

a tree and recurring conspiracy theory that acars proved kremlin dissin from asian about the artificial creation of. a recurring program in decent conspiracy theory naturally think ripped it out of context in that segment odds he was discussing how the media itself gives crazy conspiracy theories credits by paying attention to them but really really the unsubstantiated claims of who would nineteen's lab origins up russian this information have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that there would have instituted a raji was the origin of this virus. is say we don't have certainty and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory the statements can both be true i've made them both administration officials have made them they're all true why isn't my compare secretary of state on that least or donald trump president of

the united states y r t which never even made the claim because that isn't what strata call east is paid to do if they can't find anything to report. bad big bad russia well people above will ask questions and cut funding european commission didn't find the governments work as well they didn't kind of consistent ready to end a covert to clamp of the corner crisis i think it's a very dangerous way and the moment the incompletion tries to district. the attention away from their own crisis and bring forward an enemy in which that is not a good idea i can't speak for other publications that wound up on their website but every entry for r.t. is either a made up allegation or a sentence completely pulled out of context and for this east strata com gets about

5000000 euros a year to find russian this information or make it up that is when they are busy targeting euro skeptics at home how many mosques or ventilators could you buy for that those medical supplies that were soon badly needed when the pandemic hit when tens of thousands of europeans died because of shortages when europe rats had had a big forgiveness were not there on time when italy needed a helping hand at the very beginning. and yes for that it is right that europe as a whole office a heartfelt apology and that's why the desperate to make up any way to blame russia or china or anything to avoid apologizing again but hats off to strata com east you ask any season mobster or cartel banker laundering 800000 euros a week is that the z.

as an idea propose a magical european agency to root out and banish malign spirits because even if goofs still to exist strasse commies nukes how to conjure them up. for money. because they with are to me for updates on the top stories in 30 minutes. of. international memorial awards has extended its deadline for submissions. all media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media or a part of a global news platform you can submit to your published works in either video or format go to award go to r.t. dot com and it and now. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have

a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be said to. price that they pay closer dependence and addiction to opiates the long term use there really isn't scientifically justified and our study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might because their long term. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the are you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing look they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in

belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review continues and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currency which the collusion was involved in some of those cases they killers would later be named. and. i'm getting i think it went to the very very top i think it is the photos crossed the water where politicians you thought was going on and gave the go ahead.

way. the most time away to hear me my family always especially during the summertime and springtime when i do go fish and you basically here we try to catch a lot of bass you've got big mouth bass small mouth bass and also you've got blue deal in us. sometimes you can catch a catfish but the most time we're after a bath with fish you just saw in the past the time away and make spits more reliance and so that's why we try to come out here and feed and get away from you know everything basically. my dad you know told us to fish and we know we taught

them to fish they live fish and we spend a lot of summer out here most of the stuff. we rarely ever see black people featured is that all i get out here today as i got a smell near. her. august 12th was a tragic day here in charlotte so many things happen. you have a memorial for have a who passed away tragically because of hatred here in our community. many people got together to try to. show that we needed a change here in the city. hall

ran into us humans because they had hatred for another race that is not fair that is not just that is inhumane to take life because you feel different. the story is now named as the higher way. that tragic day and shelves full history. you haven't any luck. the wind's blowing in plus it just got done snowing 2 days ago i don't i won't catch most fish today when it's windy you just you know in a good time the fish when it's real windy like a deer so will probably just go on go out get some pizza or something and in about 2 weeks will be back no good.
