HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, CROWDS
OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS TAKE TO
THE SOUTH FLORIDA STREETS.
THAT'S FOR A SECOND WEEKEND
CALLING FOR CHANGE.
IN YOUR MORE CHOPPER FOR
DEMONSTRATORS CARRIED SIGNS AND
CHANTED BORN INTO SOCIAL
INJUSTICE.
A MEETING SITE FOR THE
RALLY AND MARCH.
HUNDRED SING SONG AND MARCH TO
SEND A MESSAGE.
IN SWEET WATER A LARGE
CROWD GATHERED OUTSIDE FLORIDA
INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
AT ONE POINT THE GROUP MARCHED
AROUND THE BUSY INTERSECTION OF
SOUTHWEST EIGHTH STREET AND
107th AVENUE.
THESE PROTESTERS JOIN THOUSANDS
OF OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
SEEKING JUSTICE IN THE DEATH OF
GEORGE FLOYD.
FLOYD DIED WHILE IN THE CUSTODY
OF MINNEAPOLIS POLICE.
ONE OFFICER NOW CHARGED WITH
SECOND-DEGREE MURDER, THREE
OTHERS CHARGED WITH AIDING AND
ABETTING.
GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY I AM
STEVE GOLDSTEIN.
FROM THE AIR AND ON THE GROUND
OUR CBS 4 NEWS CREWS ARE
FOLLOWING EVERY ANGLE OF THESE
MARCHES TODAY.
WE BEGIN OUR LIVE TEAM COVERAGE
WITH TBS FORCE TY RUSSELL IN
DOWNTOWN MIAMI.
Reporter: WE HAVE CURRENTLY
WALKED ABOUT 2 MILES.
WE ARE ALONG US ONE HERE IN
NORTHEAST 36 STREET.
THIS IS WHAT THE CROWD IS BEEN
DOING.
THEY HAVE BEEN STOPPING AT SOME
OF THE MAJOR INTERSECTIONS AND
HAVING SPEECHES AND HEARING
FROM PEOPLE REALLY IMPACTED BY
THE MESSAGES HERE.
THIS IS A LARGE CROWD, WE
STARTED AROUND THE BAYSIDE
MARKETPLACE AREA IN DOWNTOWN
AND WE HAVE MADE OUR WAY NORTH.
I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO SOME OF
THE PROTESTERS AND SOME OF THE
ORGANIZERS AND THEY SAY THAT
THEIR MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN
HEARD JUST YET.
THEY HAVE SEEN SOME PROGRESS
LIKE THEY SAW WITH THE FLOYD
CASE BUT THEY SAY THAT THERE
ARE SO MANY OTHER ISSUES THAT
HAVE TO BE RESOLVED SO THAT'S
WHY THEY ARE STILL MARCHING
THIS WEEKEND.
THEY ARE STILL PROTESTING. THEY
SAY THEY DON'T PLAN TO STOP
ANYTIME SOON.
I TALKED TO ONE OF THE
ORGANIZERS AND HE TALKED TO ME
ABOUT SYSTEMIC RACISM.
WE ALSO WILL BE FREE TO HELP
LATINOS AND HELP ASIAN
IMMIGRANTS AND HOW THE WOMEN.
IT'S TIME FOR US FOR US TO BE
LIBERATED SO WE CAN CONTINUE
THIS FIGHT AGAINST THE RULING
ELITE.
THIS IS NOT PLACE SPECIFIC.
IT'S AN EDUCATION, REAL ESTATE,
BANKING, IT'S EVERYWHERE.
THE POLICE KILL YOU INSTANTLY.
THIS IS THE PLACE TO START.
IT FEELS LIKE A BIG FAMILY.
EVERYBODY HERE IS TIRED OF
EVERYTHING GOING ON SO WE ARE
NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE GET
SOME JUSTICE.
RIGHT NOW, PROTESTERS HAVE
BEEN STOPPING AT INTERSECTIONS.
IF WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK AT
CHOPPER FOR.
YOU CAN SEE HERE, RIGHT NOW
WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE
LISTENING TO SPEECHES, GETTING
REALLY MOTIVATED TO MAKE SOME
CHANGES. THERE ARE MIAMI
OFFICERS AND THEY ARE KEEPING
THEIR DISTANCE.
WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS
PROTEST, THEY HAVE BEEN
POLICING THEMSELVES.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE HAVE
BEEN TOPPING TRAFFIC TO MAKE
SURE IT'S SAFER EVERYBODY.
THE MIAMI POLICE OFFICERS ARE
ALSO ALSO HERE.
I KNOW THAT SOME BUSINESS
OWNERS HAVE BEEN REACHING OUT
TO US AND THEY HAVE BEEN
COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CURFEW
BECAUSE THE CURFEW HAS BEEN
MOVED UP TO 9:00 COUNTYWIDE.
SOME OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS ARE
REFUSING TO CLOSE BECAUSE THEY
HAVE ALREADY BEEN HURT BY THE
PANDEMIC SO A LOT IS HAPPENING.
AGAIN, THERE IS A RACIAL
INJUSTICE PROTEST HERE IN THE
MIDST OF A PANDEMIC.
A LOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE LIVE IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI.
THANK YOU.

GROUP OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS.
