. >> I WISH IT WAS UNDER BETTER
CIRCUMSTANCES . CERTAINLY HAPPY
TO SEE ALL OF YOU THIS MORNING
. I WILL SAY THAT WE ARE JUST
OUTSIDE DOWNTOWN DALLAS, RIGHT
OUTSIDE WHERE THE ACTION TOOK
PLACE . WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
WE COULD COME TO A SAFER PLACE
ALONG INTERSTATE 35, ON TOP OF
THIS PARKING GARAGE, TO PROVIDE
YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION . I
WAS OUT THERE AT THAT PROTEST
YESTERDAY, COLLECTING VIDEO IN
FOOTAGE AND IMAGES TO SHARE ON
SOCIAL MEDIA . I WANT TO ECHO
WHAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER .
THIS WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST
YESTERDAY THAT TOOK PLACE BUT I
DO WANT TO CATCH YOU UP ON SOME
OF THAT INFORMATION FROM
YESTERDAY .'S THINGS CERTAINLY
TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE .
LET'S START OUT WITH THIS VIDEO,
THE CROWD WAS SPILLING OUT ONTO
THE INTERSTATE, STOPPING
TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
DAY . WE ALSO SAW THIS
YESTERDAY, THEY WERE TOLD TO
CLEAR THE SCENE AT CITY HALL.
>>
>> SOME
>> SOME PROTESTERS WERE HIT BY RUBBER BULLETS YESTERDAY . HE
SAW THAT MAN GO DOWN . IT LOOKS
LIKE HE IS IN PAIN.
HE IS BEING HELPED UP BY SOME
PEOPLE AROUND THEM . THEY
EVENTUALLY PICKED THEM UP AND
WALKED AWAY . THERE WERE ALSO
QUITE A FEW ARRESTS YESTERDAY .
THEY HAVE BEEN OVER 70 ARREST
FROM SATURDAY ALONE . THIS IS
ONE OF SEVERAL THAT WERE MADE
YESTERDAY . ALSO BEFORE THE
CHAOS STARTED WE HEARD FROM THE
DALLAS POLICE CHIEF WHO DIDN'T
WHOLE BACK ABOUT THE
MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICERS WHO
KILLED GEORGE FLOYD .
>> WHAT WE SAW IN MINEOLA PALACE
MINNEAPOLIS IN THE SAME UNIFORM
THAT I WEAR IS UNACCEPTABLE .
THERE IS NO EXCUSE, IT WAS
MURDER . AND IT IS INTOLERABLE .
BUT WHAT I WILL SAY, IS NOT
REPRESENTATIVE OF EVERY POLICE
OFFICER IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> CERTAINLY SOME VALUABLE
WORDS THERE FROM THE POLICE
CHIEF, RENI HALL, IS ECHOING
FROM WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL
FROM THE INFORMATION WE HAVE
BEEN HEARING OF SOME OF THE
PROTESTS WE HAVE BEEN SEEING .
THERE IS A PROTEST HAPPENING
LATER ON IN McKINNEY TODAY.
ANOTHER IS HAPPENING IN DALLAS,
SEVERAL PASTORS ARE GETTING
TOGETHER TO HOST A PRAYER VIGIL
FOR THE CITY THIS EVENING .
>> I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT
. I KNOW YOU ARE STAYING WITH
US, DON'T GO TOO FAR .
>> WE WILL GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK
AT HER STATION RIGHT NOW . ALL
BUSES ARE SHUTDOWN TO DOWNTOWN
DALLAS . THEY SUSPENDED SERVICE
JUST BEFORE 10:00 LAST NIGHT .
THE GREEN AND ORANGE LINE
TRAINS AND THAT VICTORY FAIR
PARK, THERE IS NO WORD YET ON
WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO RESUME
SERVICE . AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE
WERE REPORTED SHOT AND ONE DEAD
IN DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS LAST
NIGHT . AVOID THAT AREA AT ALL
COSTS . THESE IMAGES ARE COMING

POLICE VEHICLES . CALIFORNIA

>>>
>>> AT
>>> AT WASHINGTON DC, DUMPSTERS IN A CAR NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE
WERE SET ON FIRE . PROTESTS
RAGING OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE .
INSIDE, TRUMP WAS THREATENING
TO RETALIATE WITH VICIOUS DOGS
AND OMINOUS WEAPONS . WE HAVE
MORE ON THAT ANGLE .
>> OVERNIGHT, THAT CHAOS
ERUPTING JUST DEATH STEPS FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE . THE CALL FOR
PRESIDENTS MAKE AMERICA GREAT
SUPPORTERS DID NOT SHOW UP .
TONIGHT UNDERSTAND IS THE WHITE
HOUSE, HE LATER DENIED HE WAS
STOKING RACIAL TENSIONS . IN A
TWEET THAT CRITICS IMAGES OF
CIVIL RIGHTS TAKING DOGS ON
PROTESTERS . NOBODY CAME CLOSE
TO BREACHING THE FENCE, THEY
WOULD'VE BEEN GREETED WITH THE
MOST VICIOUS DOGS AND OMINOUS
WEAPONS I'VE EVER SEEN . ALSO
HE ACCUSED THE DEMOCRATIC MAYOR
TO NOT LET LOCAL POLICE
INTERVENE, THAT FALSE CLAIM WAS
CONTRADICTED, NOT JUST BY
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS BUT THE
PRESIDENT'S OWN SECRET SERVICE
HE SAYS DC POLICE WERE PART OF
THE RESPONSE .
>> WHAT USED TO BE HEARD FROM
DOG WHISTLES WE NOW HEAR FROM A
BULLHORN . PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID
HE DID SPEAK WITH GEORGE
FLOYD'S FAMILY . HE SAID HE
COULDN'T EVEN GET A WORD IN,
HIS BROTHER .
>> IT WAS SO BAD HE DIDN'T EVEN
GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK . I WAS TRYING TO TALK TO
HIM BUT HE JUST KEPT PUSHING ME
OFF . I JUST TOLD HIM, I WANT
JUSTICE
