rather just try reading. some. voters to set a restaurant ablaze smaller police chief quits as another african american dies at the hands of police turbulent night in atlanta in the us. the main stories from the week black large amount of protesters in seattle occupy 6 blocks of the city center declaring it an autonomous trump demands lord order threatens to send in the army. combat vehicles and drones are frequently seen during the george floyd protests the increasing militarization of u.s. police comes into question.

you're watching the weekly international great to have you with us. 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 now is body camera footage of the incident would have warning you may find these pictures disturbing. what kind of drinks did yeah. i'm not sure. i think you pretty much the trying to be dry that's a chance when you're going. to pretend about. i don't know how much time not by. late on friday police received a call that a black man was sleeping in his collar which was waiting in the drive through brooks was breath tested and failed and then resisted arrest during the struggle he

appears to grab an officers taser and later point it while fleeing it was at this moment he was shot and died later in hospital. protests to set fire to the restaurant where the killing took place only in the incident atlanta's man said the officer who pulled the trigger had been sacked the other one involved was suspended while the city's police chief would quit attorney general griggs told us what he thinks will happen next. people are going to 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 we've had conversations with the district 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. the non you cannot use lethal force to match non-lethal force there is

a case of tennessee versus gardner united states supreme court case stands for proposition so i think that this case is going to end up in the superior court for johnny with murder charges against both officers. also spoke with ben swann investigative journalist and co-host of auntie's boom bust to explain why the use of force by police sparked such outrage in atlanta. 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 is it's critically important that some people will say yes why don't you shouldn't lead 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 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 escalate what's happening with that person. meanwhile new black lies massive protests have erupted in another part of america hundreds of demonstrators came to the streets of portland to protest against racism and police brutality activists from the movement with chased by the police he deployed tear gas it's been almost 3 weeks since george floyd was killed at the hands of law enforcement in minneapolis on tuesday the man whose death sparked nationwide riots was buried and 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 his coffin in

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

a great thing that's happening for our 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 that. would be able. to take care of that. the democrats have proposed a justice in policing act which would make it easier to prosecute misconduct and require local police to report data on use of force officers would also be obliged to undergo biased training chokeholds and other dangerous practices would be prohibited officers would also have to wear body cameras political comedy just charles please 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 they're all 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 or positive change to come. at the start of the week backlog is not a protest to seize control and barricaded themselves into a 6 blocks of central seattle that 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 i was i think. the protest inside called for the

city's mayor to quit thank you jenny durkan the well being strict enough in implementing reforms and also playing the community properly too she should control decision making to this there's a raid the locals told us that the key demand of the demonstrators is for the police to be defunded. their main i mean gore 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 for medical services hospitals education you know the list goes on and on and there really is no need for a police. question is a self declared commie no police or cars are allowed into the area reports suggest some inside are armed the city's mayor later defended the protesters saying they are simply patriots president trump has demanded law and order in seattle and he called out those he felt responsible saying all this had happened in

a radical left democrat state led to trump even threatened to send in the army if the local authorities didn't deal with the situation but the issue of law and order is nothing new in 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 untrue 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 catch phrase 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 1st started new york philadelphia. california. first. as new ways to keep order were introduced laws became tougher since 190428 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 only 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 $1000.00 to 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. ah ah ah ah ah. 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 to have law and order. tums demands for law and order come at a time when police in america are becoming increasingly militarized many forces now boast the kind of hardware previously only seen in frontline combat a broad auntie's kellam open expands. 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 human 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 in 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. c now back to. that other. 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 this 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 time has 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 an artsy new york. to send thousands of coronavirus deaths in

a new and public and gets away with its leadership of the crisis the book now accuses russia china of waging this information war what you haven't done that story after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic looking only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to see. welcome back to being a hot spot that he was emerging from the global crisis and started to point the finger of blame at the blocs accusing russia and china vote straight to a mass information campaign during the pandemic and the commission's also calling

on social networks not just to delete everything they think is fake but also to produce reports on the work they've done details. oftentimes you hear what european see big headlines about this information 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 a virus pandemic there originating from within as well as outside their opinion disinflation 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 strapped comm taskforce which runs a website e.u. the this info to identify and to track this information and fake news every year they get millions of euros and the blessings of top europe kratz to do their thing

leading elites in europe is that you can't win wars to the very much only level of program. and so all of course. you are all. want go all of those too grim for work there all night years you want to bring forward a society or bring forward 5000000000 euro for something like finding create news in 2018 e.u. v disinfo targeted dutch media outlets largely euro skeptic outlets surprisingly enough labeling their stories fake news but which they were soon forced to correct themselves because they lied and because the lot of them bassman for the e.u. our analysis demonstrates that e.u. vs does in force headlines and summaries border on descent from asian according to the east rat columns own definition of the term so they visit r.t.

for example and rip 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 teachers 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 he like many european an italian applets rouge a story about and i quote absurd theories which by the taliban m p e u v disinfo copped 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 laboratory and recurring conspiracy theory that acars proved kremlin dissin from asian about the artificial creation of 19 a recurring program in decent conspiracy theory naturally think ripped it out of context and that segment adds 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 had nineteen's lab origins up russian this information have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the would hand institute of raji was the origin of this virus. yes they have 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 lease or donald trump president of the united states y r t which never even made the claim because that isn't what strata com 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 fight the governments well they didn't find a consistent ready to end a covert to clamp of the corner crisis i think it's a very dangerous way in the moment the commission tries to district. the attention away from their own crisis and bring forward an enemy in which that is not a good 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 pratt's had to have 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 might i propose a magical european agency to root out and banish malign spirits because even if google still to exist strasbourg least knows how to conjure them up for money. appreciate company the saving of that with updates for you and hope for them. max kaiser financial survival guide stacey let's alert us out fill out let's say i'm not sure i get any or at least i agree some banks have to fight wall street fraud thank you for helping.

destroy that's right. that's slavery. 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 on the remedy be said to. price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that. the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that it might be causing long term. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage 3 parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks particularly catholic population tens of thousands split forced

to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the or you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing them they were active participants and encouraging your full streets in belfast i thought i'd take more than a 100 innocent civilians with blood as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent. to which the 2. i was involved in some of those cases the killers would lead to being named good learner and i think it went to the very very top i think if the phone crossed the water where politicians you thought was going on and give the go ahead.

hello and welcome to world the party people in the regime change while there are a whole countries have been joking that collar revolution isn't possible in the united states because you would need an american embassy for that well apparently they were wrong quick trial and the riots and even the seizure of government buildings continuing our american supposed taking being democratic uprising in the world's most celebrated democracy and it's going on now i'm joined by david kilcullen professor of international and political strategist at the university of new south wales and the author of the dragons are be snakes how the rats learn to

buy it was called and great to talk to you congratulations on your latest book and you for having me it's great to be here now i know that it's not your original idea to refer you adversaries as rap tiles you borrow dave wrong. bill clinton's 1st cia director but since you build a narrative around it i see why did snooty what he still whining about it for you. i think that so just to say this book is a book about military adaptation and it's about how different players adapted by the time and i begin the book at the end of the cold war and as i was casting around for a way to frame what's happened since then i found jim moses comments in his confirmation hearing extraordinarily apt it's a rather prescient gear on the international security environment of the ninety's

but it really comes down to that one phrase where he says we've slain a large dragon talking about this so he but now we find ourselves in a jungle filled with a broader and broader for the snakes and in many ways the dragon was easier to keep track of and i think what he's trying to say here is that weak states failing states and non-state actors are the principal threat of the 99. minutes or until it is the total cull and. it's also we have categorizing and it's essentially putting legitimate state actors like russia or china into the same group as non-state actors like isis and terror groups isn't just out just a little bit to give this a poke contrary if you are not we last year against that so actually i think he's making the opposite point what he's saying is there are 2 different characters that are very different from each other they're up here.
