just try reading. give me. both to set a restaurant to blaze while the police chief quits as another african-american dies of the hundreds of police turbulent night in atlanta in the us. the main story of the week black lives lots of protesters in seattle occupy 6 blocks in the city center declaring it. president from demands law and order and threatens to send in the army. has come up vehicles and drones are frequently seen during the george floyd protests the recent militarization of the us police comes from the question.
4:01 pm
great to have you with us this is r.t. and. 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 next we have body camera footage of the incident would have warning you may find these pictures disturbing. well blah blah blah blah blah blah blah formal stuff for you. or not read or a few words let's see what kind of drinks did yeah. i'm sure some see orders i think you've heard too much the trying to be dry that's a chance one of according. to translate about. i don't know started a couple of. things unfolded late on friday police received a cool with a black man was sleeping in his car which was in the queue at a burger drive through rashad brooks was breath tested and failed he then resisted
4:02 pm
arrest and during the struggle that ensued he appeared to grab and officers taser later pointed it and fired it while fleeing it was at this moment that he was shot and died later in hospital. protest to set fire to the restaurant where the killing took place following the incident at london's mayor said that the officer who pulled the trigger had been sacked the other one involved was suspended all the city's police chief had quit to 'd any craig's told us what he thinks will happen that. 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 so i think that both officers will be charged with murder and 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 and
4:03 pm
george of 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 supreme court case stands for their proposition so i think that this case is going to end up in the superior court of phone johnny with murder charges against both officers. those are told have been sworn investigative journalist and co-host of all things being bust who explained why the use of force by places spunk 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 it's critically important that some people will say yes why that you should unlike 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
4:04 pm
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. or. do you b.l.m. protests have erupted in other parts of america hundreds of demonstrators hit the streets of portland to protest against racism and police brutality activists from the black lives want to move in with chased by the police who deployed to gas and almost 3 weeks now since george floyd was killed at the hands of law enforcement in minneapolis on tuesday the man whose death sparked nationwide riots was buried in
4:05 pm
a small private funeral in his hometown of houston texas earlier that day thousands paid their respects and tuesday around $6000.00 mourners fall past the coffin increased in the final stop in a series of memorials held in floyd's on or around 30000 dollars was spent on the gold casket with the money taken from a record breaking fundraising campaign that amassed there to $13000000.00 the fallout from floyd's death was has provoked claims that politicians are trying to use it to score political points. democrats were criticized by some for kneeling for an 8 minute silence in congress the length of time prosecutors say floyd was pinned under 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
4:06 pm
incredible family his little daughter was there i want to see daddy's going 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 data on the set forth of a says would also be applied to undergo bias training cho cults and other dangerous practices would be prohibited of this would also have to wear body cameras political commentary just charles believes there is a clear political motivation behind the big. you know what they say right i mean
4:07 pm
never let a good crisis go to waste there will definitely be people from both sides who are going to capitalize on what happened to george floyd 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 effect 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. the beginning of the week black lives matter protests to seize control and barricaded themselves into 6 blocks of central seattle 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 so occupied city hall. i.
4:08 pm
i think. the protesters inside called for the city to quit thank you jenny durkan of not being strict enough implementing reforms those who claim the community not politicians should control decision making activist deseret de loach told is the key demand of all the demonstrators is for the police to be defunded. meena means or 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 ringback. the zone itself is a self declared commune no police cars are allowed into the area reports suggest some inside or around the city's mayor later defended the protesters saying they
4:09 pm
are just patriots president trump has demanded law and order in seattle he also called out those he felt responsible saying all of this happened in a radical left democrat state voted for him 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 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's the. law and order is the 1st responsibility of government don't send people
4:10 pm
up there that come home and talk tough on law and order and crime and then go back and vote some other way around with. the 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 once by law and order i mean order for everybody we've got to reestablish respect for law respect for 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 a bouncer 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
4:11 pm
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 look tell us what this servant stands 1st. as new ways to keep all. 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 any being 13 percent of the population as
4:12 pm
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 and $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.
4:13 pm
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. to terms demands for law and order come at a time when police in the us of becoming increasingly militarized and the forces now boast the kind of hardware previously only seen in front line combat are brought on the scale of morgan explains. 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
4:14 pm
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 i 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 survey one strongs these are defense department products deemed to be excessive old or surplus $7400000000.00 worth of defense
4:15 pm
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 of iraq obama rolled back the program after the ferguson protests and national outrage about the militarization of police who. c are. now back. however trump has roof 5 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
4:16 pm
as developed techniques were operating as an occupying army and they've brought this home they brought the war home after they they buy 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 so a lot of the stuff sitting in military warehouses and so they want to get rid of them and they 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 them 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
