- Around the world, since this weekend,
there have been protests that mixed sympathy
with the U.S. protesters and anger at the U.S.
as well as anger over local issues
in places where people see parallels to the situation
in the U.S. that minorities are being repressed,
that police are restricting gatherings, protests
with what they see as excessive violence.
- [Woman] It's just gut-wrenching,
the climate of what's happening in America,
and it's also happening here in Australia
though it's subtle.
Racism is real for me. (muffled group shouting)
- [Group] The people, we the people!
- In essence, the U.S. protests have struck a chord
in many other countries around the world.

- [Group] No justice, no peace, no justice!
- [Group] Silence is betrayal!
Silence is betrayal!

- For many years, the U.S. has been the world's moral voice
on so many of these issues.
When other countries have called out the riot police,
started bashing heads, using water cannons,
rubber bullets, tear gas, the U.S. has been there
urging calm, wagging a finger.
Russia, China, in this case, they get to say,
well, look, you're doing the same thing, United States,
so you have no authority to criticize us
for doing exactly what you're doing.

The world has got hurt--
(dramatic electronic music)
- [Dan] The situation playing out in the U.S. now
is at a, probably at an emotional level,
fairly disturbing to much of the world.
To see the U.S. literally in flames like this
and in conflict like this has got to be traumatic.
