the group on the ground from the kentucky state police is the group that investigates in other police units across the state. they are the independent group that does this. and they are the only independent group i have to directly call on to investigate. they have been there since very early. that investigation continues. my understanding is that there is significant camera footage, and camera and otherwise, i have called the mayor of louisville. and through our law enforcement groups, i have contacted lmpd and asked them to release it as soon as possible. i know there is a little bit they have to go through. i know the officers would have been on duty for 10-plus hours. but i believe the people of kentucky deserve to see it for themselves. and i believe in seeing it can decide whether this was justified or cause for more concern. while i have been given basin facts, i want the people is too heavy be able to decide for themselves, to not have to rely on anybody else, especially at this time and with the feelings that i know are out there, so my request is, let's put it out, let's let

and the park police that are in the front row then behind them we have the state police and then behind that we have a full force of military police or the d.c. national guard that just came in moments ago where protesters actually booed them when they came in now this is widespread president trump is calling on the state and local leaders to. get tougher on protesters and this is kind of the way that he's doing it unloading on governors just hours ago calling them now after d.c. they are talking about a curfew that was put in place for 7 pm tonight which is in about an hour a lot of these protesters that i talked to say that they're going to be staying here well over that now just an hour before last night's curfew that was actually at 11 pm you had multiple fires in the area that were started including at the historic st john's church right in the downtown where many u.s. presidents have attended over the years you also had vandalism like what you see at the national mall where at the lincoln memorial there was a spray painted yellow not tired yet and at the world war 2 memorial it wa

state and local levels. on tuesday, members of the police reform working group, which include state and local elected officials, the chief defender of the defender association of philadelphia, as well as several attorneys put forth thoughtful proposals calling for the reform of police organizations at every level. as a result of many years of work of the pennsylvania legislature black caucus, which they previously put forth legislation in the space. i agree with them that we need to explore better oversight over law enforcement to root out misconduct and abuse. i will work with them to implement the recommendations and pass legislation to address these inequities. we have already had success. fundingmented a fair formula, providing more funding toward schools. we have a long way to go before we can make our schools equal. we have made our criminal justice system fairer by passing clean state into law by providing support for county probation programs by fixing inadequate sentencing guidelines . we have addressed criminal justice reform on a bipartisan basis. that is what we will need to do to fix these inequit

i want to applaud the state police, who have done a great job. the protests were mainly peaceful all across the state, and i want to thank all involved for keeping it that way, protesters included. new york city last night was much better. the protesters were mainly peaceful. the police officers have the resources and the capacity to do their jobs. and the results last night were much, much different than the night before. and that is what it is all about. and i think the people in new york city should feel much better today than they did after the night of looting. times.re perilous there is a lot going on, and we have to understand what is going among thee difference issues that we are dealing with. you have the covid crisis. you have the murder of mr. floyd , two very different situations, but both critical in and of themselves, and both happening at the same time. it has been wrapped in an environment and a dynamic that is racially-charged and politically-charged. perilousit very, very times in this country, and we have to be careful. we have

not the problem meanwhile the minneapolis police department is breaking off talks with the state police union as part of planned reforms its police chief says the union contract needs to be restructured to provide more transparency. a statue of christopher columbus in the u.s. city of richmond has become the latest to be torn down by protesters them strangers used ropes to drag the statue off its pedestal before setting it on fire and throwing it into a lake. a senior british health expert says the u.k.'s coronavirus theft toll would have been cut in half if lockdown measures had been implemented a week earlier britain's prime minister says the decision made the decisions made were based on the scientific advice available at the time. and the world is facing its worst peacetime recession in a sentry that's according to the organisation for economic co-operation and development the global economy is predicted to shrink by at least 6 percent in 2028 because of the lockdowns these are the headlines the stream is next to asking how you can be an ally in the black lives matter that. you're w

the united states have been markedly more peaceful than. rioting and heavy handed policing earlier this week. the mayhem on main street some of the week's early rallies erupted into riots resulting in shops and businesses being run in several states. on the riots a media watchdog holds on to at least 300 press freedom violations of the mother of days a russian news agency chorus.

let's get to former maryland state police officer. this video -- this is horrifying. 75 year-old. what do you think? >> it's alarming. 100% uncalled for. not in line with training. non-violent protest. an elderly man seems to be engaged in conversation with them. and he's pushed. one thing you have to realize as a police officer, you maybe able to push someone who is physically fit. every time you engage someone you have to assess not just what is occurring. you have to assess the person you're interacting with. that push in my opinion was deadly force. it was the use of deadly force. as you saw he stumbled backwards and hit his head. we know and we train when we use tazers. when you use it you have to know someone is capable of falling. they have no control over the body. it's very similar in this situation. you push him in the back ward motion. he has no way of controlling -- he doesn't know what's behind him. he can trip and fell to the ground and struck his head. >> he could have died from that. >> absolutely. >> you have had people die from -- >> in similar circumstances. yes

of the shootings these days take place as people are driving around shooting state police cars. it was a mess. all right mable. now we've been doing this so years now man has come i had a brave people pass all sandwiches give oh water thank you thank you thank you god bless you thank you all right now. all right. is. that another very. dangerous here. so i don't really know what to expect just to be honest with you so. now that helicopter there is a police helicopter. we call the get over. the look of us some of. them. we have what we call the the del mar divide where one part north of del mar is. red lined. and the glick did its abuse via glenn. and the other side you know you get all the services and all the opportunities that most why the americans enjoy. probably the scariest time was in the 1st month that we started walking and this young guy came out of a building with a gun cursing me calling me all kinds of snitches and everything and i asked the group to go on ahead and they had because one of the rules is if anybody gets shot it should be me. simple gunshots ringing ou

they also provide intelligence to the local and state police who have the first duty to deal with the problems occurring. they are a force multiplier. they provide transportation to add to the local and state authorities. they are a fill-in. where the local authorities lack manpower or equipment or lack something to deal with the crisis on this scale.

protests tens of thousands turn out across the united states but they've been markedly more peaceful in contrast to the rioting and heavy handed policing earlier in the week. the mammo main street some of the early rallies are ruptured into riots resulting in shops and businesses being ransacked in several states. from other some of the stories that helped shape the week sweden's loose locked behind it says it caused many coronavirus deaths but that it wasn't entirely wrong. an economic emergency in the russian arctic a must.

and the state police. obviously we have the national guard here and could use them if necessary. we have -- and it's particularly been a benefit for us -- we went through in 2016 several weeks of very heavy protests, almost all of which were peaceful though, and so we've kept up those communications though, with the various communities, and so far we're in good shape. like phil murphy, i don't want to jinx things, and we know that things can turn on a dime. and we know in 2016, most of the problems came from people who were bussed in from out of state. it was not local home grown folks who were the most violent and extremist on our streets. and so that's where we could get some help from the federal government. if you all know that there are individuals or groups out there that are intending to target louisiana in terms of coming in, that would be very, very helpful. we are monitoring the internet, we have our fusion center and so forth, but if mr. attorney general, if you think of some information like th

forces seem staggering the new york police department as a $6000000000.00 budget that's bigger than vietnam's defense budget vietnam of course which defeated the united states of america what is behind these massive police budget. well of course the emphasis on police the emphasis on policing the emphasis our prison meant that has led to mass incarceration is very much driven by racism. and law and order instead of addressing the needs of communities of color and let me say that we are in the process of doing today what should have been done and the i media aftermath of slavery. of this these processes of guaranteeing that previously enslaved people and degeneracy people subject to the genocidal and active colonization lept team next communities. that that there should have been efforts long ago to consider what kind of changes our society would be required it order to guarantee equality and justice for all as the city for racial and economic and gender justice and equality you mention mass incarceration some probably know in the corridors of d.n.c. power think joe biden may be synonymous with mass incarceration what would you say to someone thinking of vot
