greetings and sal you. you know in the post trump world the mainstream news media has been searching for something anny thing to move the ratings needle and it appears they have finally found their latest golden ratings goose in the trial of former police officer derek shaw and for the murder of george floyd not since o.j. simpson and then later trayvon martin have we seen such round the clock news coverage of the murder trial let's be honest this case has all the markings of a modern ratings cable news blockbuster violence racism annoying depends attorneys

courageous prosecutors good versus evil and lots and lots and lots of room for talking ads it's like a 24 hour marathon of law and order except this time sam waterston and jerry orbach have been replaced by wolf blitzer and chuck todd. god help us but amidst all the glitz and glam of modern news coverage it's easy to forget that there is a community at the center of all of this a community who for over a year now has lived in the shadow of the police killing of george floyd i'm talking of course about the residents of the city of mabel hood's of minneapolis minnesota a community that since floyd's murder has not only been under siege by the burning spotlight of the cable news media but by the failure of their elected officials race and race were agitators and the militaristic reaction of their law enforcement agencies to their calls for justice this week the u.s.

congressman woman out of minnesota told c.n.n.'s jake tapper that the community was on edge and that we haven't seen justice not delivered in our community for many years and while the rest of america and the world watches the courtroom drama play out on their t.v.'s it's just outside that courtroom vioxx reports that the hennepin county government center in minneapolis is surrounded by concrete barriers chain link fencing and barbed wire nearby buildings have boarded up their storefront windows members of the national 'd guard have been patrolling the area with the mayor and police chief now promising even more police presence in the community in the community as this trial presses on in the summer one has to wonder how long. till the simmer turns once again into a boil especially if the citizens of minneapolis are denied the justice their

community deserves now let's start watching the hawks. you want to. see the prizes you always see. grace. this least systemic deception. which. will. welcome everyone to watching the hawks i am. and i'm joining us today to discuss the effects on the community of the trial of derek shaw than the civil rights attorney and resident of minneapolis minnesota friend of the show and the kima levy armstrong always a pleasure having you on with us nikki. thanks for having me i want to ask you it's you know a week and a few days into the trial what what has the trials of fact been like on the

community so far. as you might imagine it has caused a lot of trauma in our community there are people who watch the trial because it is so triggering it's triggering for me as a civil rights attorney you know as a resident of the appaloosas to watch those bystander videos over and over here and into here george floyd probably not for help and so you better read and to see those bystander shy and desperate need to get the police to actually do their jobs and release george floyd in treatment with dignity. when it came up we've all seen in the media hype around this trial what do you believe has the coverage actually missed out on or just didn't understand about the minneapolis community who is anxiously awaiting justice to finally be served in this case what do you think they're missing the media writ large is missing about the community because that's not actually included in a lot of the conversations that we're seeing on media. right so i think when we

watch the coverage a lot of the focus is on what you know and showing did and did not you and not on looking at the system as a whole which produced a monster like their children in the 1st place the man had over and getting complaints during its nearly 20 year teen you're with the minneapolis police department it was also involved in other deadly force incidents as well which means that he should have lost his job a long time ago and if he had george soit would still be alive and we wouldn't be in this situation with this particular case but because of the systemic racism that's inherent in the police department and the fact that there are still many killer cops on the force weed. i would be here again with someone else and as a matter of fact in december of 2020 a somali man was killed by the minneapolis police department in your very

questionable circumstances but i think that people are missing the fact that this is the list also on trial and they are missing the context surrounding the murder. and how it would happen when in fact a great deal of racism in oppression against black equal within the city of minneapolis you know how quickly the mainstream media likes to always kind of condemn sort out down into just always just a few bad apples at the end of the day surely and as a policy organizer with the advocacy group reclaim the brought block recently told woks the right now on the ground in minneapolis we are hyper militarized every morning she says she's woken up by helicopters and surveillance planes that are so very loud and that the city has spent $1000000.00 according to her on a barbed wire fence downtown to protect empty government buildings became of you felt the impact of this militarization is a as she describes and we're spending millions on barbed wire and surveillance

planes really the right response to what the minneapolis community needs in the wake of this killing and now living under this trial. i would say worse and worse you can see we're used to each able to gather outside of the you know in county government center in what's known as the plaza but it does look like a wives' own when you go down there there is only a small space in which protesters are allowed to gather and a lot of folks are uncomfortable being at nastase because it is no way for us to be contracts if the police decides. in targeted arrest which they have the start of this trial here also military near one of them meet. it. insurance inspects nano at the government center and then you see the armed presence of the national guard so there is the question of what is the city of minneapolis the state of minnesota prepared for it doesn't seem to me as if they

are preparing to deliver justice to the people. and became a you've spoken about this before we've seen promises made promises broken across across the city of minneapolis the leaders they are promising drastic changes to policing from conduct to funding and basically everything in between and we probably already know the answer to this before we go any further but have any of those changes been implemented in a real way. not really know and i think that. the fact that unfortunately on the local government is now when it comes to addressing issues in the city they don't have a background in policing and even though he should step in going up for years they never knew the problems with me up as least partly until the world was watching and so since that time they've come forward with a bunch of polls that are not well researched and they haven't been unity

particularly the black community which is most at risk as far as experience in community violence as well as police violence but we don't have a which is extremely problematic is it going to be difficult getting a seat at the table and what the market will sort of next round the city elections are you know how does that community finally get proper representation in the decision making of the city or even the state of minnesota as a whole. i think it's going to be a challenge you know as you well know minnesota is about 8384 percent white and so has people of color who represent and they are smart slice of residents within the state of minnesota in far too for a party option our voices are not heard which has caused us to act. to the streets and shut down we have to do that we've also. legislative changes so there's a coalition. and it was working as they should that have bills right now that are

pretty at the legislature if people are interested in looking at bills it's all in a coalition or it was all the bills which include a slight. qualified immunity. and strengthening the ways in which we go about structuring our police are trained and disciplined and things like that so that's one thing that we're trying to. urge people to run for office yesterday are you what elections coming up in oakland where. it will be slim asali candidates who are the position of mayor as well as city council well mccain will keep safe up there keep up the great work and best of luck to you this coming this coming fight because of sort of it is when you're taking on an entrenched system of not just a minneapolis border and minnesota in the greater united states and trying to get rid of racism inherent in our institutions thank you so much as always for coming

on the show but. that's where having. a new wave of sophisticated robots are coming to a business near you while the advanced intelligent biopic creatures are designed by repetition some are questioning if that means they will eventually replace the human workforce party correspondent natasha sweet takes a deeper look. stretches designed to go into some of the most difficult environments in a warehouse and handle told dirty dangerous physical work stress the latest creation from boston dynamics a u.s. based company known for its experimental humanoid robot donkey like androids stretches the ability to avoid obstacles it's just one of many new traits given to this new line of sophisticated robots some are in. even programmed today and its strength was just recently unveiled showing off how quickly it can load and unload boxes and trucks move them in warehouses and even build ballots in distribution

centers that can maneuver 800 boxes an hour through its special sensors michael perry of boston dynamics says in the u.s. alone there's over $150000.00 warehouses but only about 20 percent have what he calls sophisticated warehouse animation tools installed within them so this in turn gives boston dynamics quite a market for selling stretch the thing that makes stretch so unique is that it's able to move around the warehouse and handle a variety of tasks without having to stand up a lot of fixed automation and fix infrastructure to support it that means that a warehouse doesn't have to shut down for several weeks in order to get stretch up and running in their operations and with not having to shut down for weeks some question if this means a robot like stretch could replace humans at the workplace beginning at warehouses stretch can operate for 8 straight hours he still needs to be plugged in all the coronavirus has cause for many workplaces to limit capacity and social distance a tool like stretch could easily continue productivity without the worry of the

virus well boston dynamics says this is not the goal others aren't so sure according to a new report from the brookings institute black and latino workers may be more susceptible to having their jobs from place through artificial intelligence the study is stressing the need for labor unions to work with these companies their hope is to provide employees the training they need to work with the new technology instead of it replacing workers but warehouses aren't the only target for a robot like workers the oil industry believes their next with potential hundreds of thousands of job openings including the need to drill the journal of petroleum technology estimates one out of every 5 jobs in the oil industry will be replaced with advanced robotics by 2030 boston dynamics is currently seeking customers to join. the pilot test with strat seen how well it can unload trucks and other tasks the company says they plan to release stress for sale sometime next year reporting for watching the hoxton toss just sweets are. all right remember as you were as we

go to break you can continue watching the hawks on demand for the new portable t.v. which is available on every single place you can find. definitely check that one out coming up chicago police are once again member fired for their role in the killing and so we cover up the murder of a 13 year old named adam toledo find out more about that story so stay tuned what. are you. but i can see. this is huge huge because when you open your eyes to go forward for

the voters. as you listen to this who do want to. see i think it was national guard. i thought the play to talk a little. bit some what was sure to force me. to go but will support school board in these clinics one of the least means of getting you to leave because they see. a fishing in the life of the smear. both of you knew those. opposed someone. as a result of old style if you believe that 80.

6 guys are financial survival guide. when customers go by you're just applying. to now well reducing our. that's undercutting not what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. was abundant make no certainly no borders just blind to nationalities. you. have so much we don't come with you we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be the chief. judge of this commentary crisis that is listening to modern times we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing a general way but we also know. this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel

very proud that we're in it together. the industry prefers to spend millions of euros. to delay regulations will be sniffy it's all about making money making profits it's about big corporations international markets export do you imagine the number of currently diseases that are in every family it is not due to new viruses are all new microbes facts not true so it is due to. say you know that moment of disability or this sort of muscles are really just accumulate could only come in the day sitting there to decide. if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more

value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into street except that we have regulation we want regulation i was in your belief we don't behave any aspirin or 2 that's fine. my hometown of chicago is no stranger to gun violence headlines and i'm not limiting those to community violence or gangs i'm talking police brutality police involved shootings use of force lawsuits have cost to the taxpayers over 200 $13000000.00 over the past 15 years these incidents often involve unarmed community members and young people young people like 13 year old adam toledo the 7th grader

was shot and killed by chicago police last monday in alley behind a high school near his home adam's mother elizabeth toledo had filed a missing persons report a day before. even with that report on file it took 2 full days after the shooting for police to alert toledo of her son's death and by alert i mean they asked her for a photo of her son she assumed it was to help with the missing person's report chicago police use the photo to identify the young boy they murdered just 48 hours prior to the chicago police department and city officials at the mayor's office are under fire for not releasing details about him toledo's death soon or not releasing the police body cam video and failing to answer the most basic questions surrounding the incident. what we know are murky stories of 2 males in a nearby alley and a person resulting in a confrontation police say one of the men was armed and have tweeted a photo of a gun they claim was recovered at the scene the city delayed the release of body

can put it out raging toledo's family community members and activists initially arguing the video couldn't be released because of the boy's age the civilian office of accountability is now saying the video will be loosely will be released within 60 days until then the legal span lee has questions the community has questions and no one is happy with the framing of the young boy as a deviant with little supervision or love. according to a chicago police department alert to officers the gang latin kings has instructed members to shoot at police vehicles in retaliation for the young boy's death. toledo's family held a vigil for him last night joining us now political activist was leading us welcome leslie. thank you for having me. while leslie what is the environment on the ground in chicago right now how is the community responding to this we heard all the main cardinals say of toledo this young man had nobody it's sad to say why

that could help him except again so shame on us i own that but adams family refutes that characterization the city seems to be getting everything wrong here. what's happening in. the community is heartbroken we blocked a child from our community and the fact that he be now being called a child of the streets he was now born of the streets he has a mother a family he has a 91 year old grandfather this is a community that's been devastated by coronavirus and has seen death more than they have ever imagined and this is just absolutely tragic our our community is just heartbroken. seems like the victim blaming this is going around quite a bit. from city officials and people in power i want to ask what are the mixed up some mean do you expect the body camcorders to be released soon and how are

activists preparing themselves for the release or even bracing for. her well we do know there was word released today that the footage will be shown to raise mother this week and. the community it now they've been demanding to see this video and we've already been bracing and we feel like this isn't the 1st time this is happening in our community or in the city of chicago. unfortunately. things that we've had to do over and over again in our city. where activists are on the street. or outside the mayor's home today with president harris. harris the. activists are ready they're pushing to season because we really want to know what

happened what is on that video. and lovely we know adam attending area elementary school he was a 7th grader just 13 years old little billy just to talk about that a little bit for those not from chicago a little village just a community a very tight knit latino community in chicago very long history of impact what do you think this tragic shooting has in terms of what does it mean for police and community relations in an area where they weren't that great to begin with and right now we're watching police basically pay adam is gang affiliated talking about how he was out at 2 30 am and again arguing that that he had a gun what how did our community members fighting back against this narrative and what are we actually seeing happen on the ground in terms of you know the organizing a little village. you know community members are speaking out but there is a reason why they wanted to have a vigil last night is to remember a member of their community and that is love that is with the village mostly made

up of mexican mexican immigrants and their and their families and so this is what we do as a people we come together and we let our people in the time in need but especially when the narrative that it. is being painted i don't have a family the family in the activists are out there they're not just there all over the city. demanding for justice for adam. you know chicago's long and storied past and present is filled with examples of police brutality and excessive force cases there's always a few arrests and basically no police accountability for these incidents does adam's incident prove that the police reforms undertaken just a year ago in chicago a little over. they are working nothing strange desire what the show tells the people of chicago. i mean the mayor came out and even

said we need to change. everything surrounding but change this and this was something that could have been done years ago so many so many people are asking why was it done sooner because so many lives could have been saved not only adams but other bystanders that i get that are involved with in police pursuit so. it's on it changes ongoing now it is quickly and most people would like but this is again this is what's wonderful about the people the community of. we love our community and activists are just reaching out your question and asking demanding for change because we have seen what has now worked in our community and we also are asking why what is why with mental health services now mentioned in yesterday's press conference what about mental health services where the community and or the children of that elementary school that a lot of pride and

a class me at the hands. allegedly damus our hearts go out to your community keep up the great work out there and keep fighting for truth and justice for young adam thank you so much for coming on our show today. thank you for having me. there are new breakthrough researchers at u.c. berkeley have found that using nonjudgmental empathy empathy training has led to a 13 percent drop in parole violations but the run through training parole officers in the art of empathy just wavering as you heard me right training parole officers to actually care about the recently released folks that they oversee actually leads to less recidivism that would be. recent findings prove out it could be vital to reforming the u.s. criminal justice system's parole system which right now sees roughly 66 percent of the formally incarcerated citizens either rearrested or back behind bars within 3

years of serving their time can believe this if you teach the parole officer exam but the then suddenly they do their job better and less people are going back in jail back to jail that might have been my favorite in no way we have of this show lately and i think that just because folks don't really pay attention to the the ideas that parole officers have that oftentimes really hurt the people who are on parole there's a reason why they were sort of eyes at such high levels and part of it is because they are not getting any level of confirmation any level of trust any level you know just regular humanity from their parole officers and now the parole community you know the officer committee will always kind of firebag say look we're overburdened with case loads we are highly stressed you know we don't want to let you know we want you know we don't want anybody dangerous to you know with all that but i think there's a lot of truth to what you're saying is that you know when you treat someone who's served their time who's who's paid their debt to society you have to treat them

with the full respect that ok you're out you want to be a thriving member the community treat them with respect on all levels and empathy apparently with traditional empathy but they goes a long way it really does i think clad we found this out to be all right everybody that is our show for you today remember in this world we are definitely not told but we are loved enough so from my heart to yours. i love you i am tyrone winter and i'm in the chicago keep on watching all those hawks out there another great day in the.
