and we are here in calls of no justice no peace say his name george floyd is a higher name briana taylor and people that have gathered here want to emphasize the fact that this is a largely peaceful protest but at the same chinee are still adamant about bringing attention to those cases of police brutality the cases where americans have lost their lives at the hands of police yet in these cases as they have said there has been no justice and they say there will be no peace the protest was organized by the group freedom fighters d.c. and they repeatedly emphasize the fact that it was meant to bring awareness to a message that has been at the heart of these protests since the beginning organizers were seen handing out bottles of water mask and hand sanitizer and demonstrators included people of all races all ages and all backgrounds this protest comes one day after thousands were seen marching to the white house marking the largest gathering the city has seen since the protests began many of those protesters broke the 7 pm curfew implemented by the district but even then the demonstrations

george floyd and we can't forget that these are things are happening to black women as well with briana taylor and you know many of the other cases of black women who have suffered at the hands of police so i think that while we can talk about the class impact of course there's been a serious impact more on working class communities and while we talk about george floyd we shouldn't necessarily think that these are the george floyd protests these george floyd was just the straw that broke the camel's back if you look at what the police were doing in york city they were going around during this pandemic and in the village and in the wealthy white or areas they were handed out mass you know when you went you know north of 96th street into you know upper manhattan and into the rocks they were punching people in the face so i think a lot of people you know in arresting them so i think there was an explosion that was going to happen. and you know you can talk also you mention the democratic control of cities and i think that you know there is a valid point that you know some democrats have failed in

democratic senatorial candidate but with the recent protests as well as the shooting and that lugo briana taylor you had a tro the booker a mislead grow in popularity to where was such a tight race that they had to go to the absentee ballots to count so that is all about engagement right now in a state like kentucky where senator mitch mcconnell will be facing any mcgrath come november let's move to colorado where today is actually the voting day people can drop off their ballot or go to the polls now what's incredible about it colorado is that in 2018 they had a really good number of people turn out for the primary but it's being beaten almost by double in 2020 and that by the democrats republicans are still along the same trend but democrats are trending more than $2.00 to $1.00 in voters were 23 percent independent still not making their declaration of which candidate they like so that means that independent voter not only in colorado but possibly across the united states has still not made up their mind yet not only are they going to go vote but who they're going to be voting for colorado ca

i think george floyd was like the straw that broke the camel's back you had briana taylor you add reed you had to land ok still before that sandra bland and countless others to me are rice and 609 here and last can't los angeles county alone with your sorry own back in so many right i can go i we could spend this whole interview and the listing amount of people who have been killed by police because it's still operate operates as a slave catching system to put slaves back into the prison system right and so i you know people are fed up it's an unprecedented health crisis unprecedented unemployment unprecedented economic crisis and on top of that we still have to deal with racism and these systems that are brutalizing us before george floyd you saw people being brutalized by police for not wearing a mask you saw people being profiled black people being profiled for wearing masks so we damned if we do damned if we don't you know and i think we're at a point where people are in their homes and imagining solutions imagining better because they have no choice because they are in dire situat

just fell over some of those names of martyrdom george floyd jackson davis oscar grant so sad briana taylor our brave botham john terrance crozier philander cassell freddie gray walter scott to me are rice michael brown eric garner trayvon martin my colleagues any other names you want to. thank you we cannot settle for anything less than strands formative structural change which is why the justice in policing act will remove barriers to pursue prosecuting police misconduct and covering damages by addressing the quality immunity doctrine it will and too will demilitarize the police by limiting the transfer of military weaponry to state and local police departments it will combat police put brutality by requiring body and dashboard cameras banning chokeholds no knock warrants in drug cases and race or racial profiling will stop will finally make clenching with the horror a federal hate crime and i suppose chairman woman bason represented bobby smith there are 2 distinguished centers harris and booker another's. of for their work in helping to pass h r 35 this year pretty split tell it is hear

girls it is an injurious eraser why is it such an uphill battle why did the killing for example of briana taylor a health worker who was shot 8 times by police who entered her apartment in louisville kentucky in march why is that only become more widespread in the past few weeks. yes thank you for that question and thank you for having me today i think one of the major issues we have to contend with is the way that we frame police killings particularly in the united states context and something that is uniquely a disproportionately affecting lapid employs in our nation and while black men and boys are most likely to be gunned down proportionately speaking by police violence black women and girls are also 1.4 times more likely than white women to be killed by police and often in our homes so one of the main reasons i think is that we see a number of the deaths of black women at the hands of police officers there in the domestic space there in the home space like up not that hitler so there is no darnell appraiser who was the 17 year old black girl who filmed the murder of to exploit so really bac

illegal so what killed eric garner and what killed george floyd no knock warrants which is how briana taylor we've heard her name shouted at project protest was killed and they would also make a registry so that we can keep track of bad cops and so when one is fired and one district they can't get hired in another. where has the president donald trump been in all of this because a lot of people of lou been looking to the white house for leadership perhaps some signs to unite the country and we haven't heard that coming from the white house so where has he been that's a great question he's been through rocks a question behind that wall he recently built around the white house. i think it's easy to talk about what he hasn't done he hasn't met with black last let matter organizers he has a met with civil rights leaders he hasn't met privately with the george george floyd's family but what he has done is read tweeted character access assassination about george floyd. on twitter that come from that came from conservative commentators and he also created a parade a bunch of middle aged white men o

across the country that are already trying to do some reforms following the protests over george briana taylor and countless other names and yeah exactly so in new york state for example they're actually going to make police disciplinary records public which is reversing a decades old law that frankly never should have been on the books it's kind of the equivalent of like a teacher helping a student hide their bad report card for you. if you're like a dumb kid and you steal something from a store that's on your record forever you get cough can like kill a dude and it's not and it's a way to. yeah also in new york lawmakers are planning to make it illegal to call 911 on a black person for a dumb reason well pretty much existing but latest examples have been like selling water asking somebody to lease their dog in central park. and i said well i agree that people should be doing that in that like just admitting allusive we have really dumb racist cops that may show up and may kill someone so we're going to make it illegal for you to call us. out of our money. should call us and then that also do

living in glass houses probably shouldn't throw stones the recent murders of black people like briana taylor a model robbery and george ploy by police officers and armed vigilante justice thinking civilians rightfully sparked outrage instead of leaning in for understanding or looking at the policies that have nurtured the environment for racism and white supremacy to grow president trump demanded lethal force against protesters. when the looting starts the shooting starts famous words from trump but for blacks like my grandmother who lived through the civil rights movement these words were new or original bull connor popularized them when thinking dogs and water hoses on protesters speaking to him jim crow they were also used by miami police chief walter headley in 1067 as he advocated for radical racialized police policy targeting young black and brown people segregationist george wallace also used the phrase during his 1968 presidential campaign from flavor e and reconstruction to the formation of the k.k.k. and jim crow to present day horrors of police brutality and systemic racism blacks
