HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CONTINUED TO
PROTEST IN NORTH TEXAS AFTER
THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD AT
THE HANDS OF POLICE OFFICERS.
PROTESTERS GATHERED IN DALLAS
FROM DOZENS IN FRONT OF CITY
HALL TO THOSE ON THE STREETS
NEAR KLYDE WARREN PARK AND
OTHERS MARCHING IN OAK CLIFF.
THE CITY OF OF DALLAS EXPANDE+@
ITS CURFEW TO INCLUDE WEST
VILLAGE AND TRINITY GROVES
AFTER THE SITUATION WE SAW
+@ MONDAY NIGHT ON THE +@MARGARET
HUNT HILL BRIDGE.
LEADERS IN NORTH TEXAS DO SAY
THOSE PROTESTS REMAINED
PEACEFUL AS WE SAW A SIMILAR
SCENE IN FORT WORTH.
CHRIS SADEGHI JOINS US LIVE NOW
WITH THE LATEST.
+@
WITH THE LATEST. >> Reporter: MARK, LAST NIGHT
WAS THE FIFTH NIGHT OF THE
PROTESTS, BUT IT WAS THE SECOND
NIG+@HT THAT THE CURFEW WAS IN
PLACE HERE IN FORT WORTH THAT
STARTS AT 8:00.
AND IT SEEMED THAT BOTH THE
PROTEST ORGANIZERS +@AND THE
POLICE WERE WILLING TO WORK
TOGETHER AND AVOID SOME
CONFLICTS THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN
THE PA+@ST.+@
THE PA+@ST.+@ IT STARTED HERE AT THE HISTORIC
COURTHOUSE +@AT 3:00 IN THE

HOME. AT
HOME. AT LEAST THE ORGANIZERS WERE.
SOME WANTED TO MARCH TO THE
SEVENTH STREET BRIDGE WHERE WE
SAW SOME OF THOSE+@ ISSUES ON
SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN POLICE USED
TEAR GAS AND+@ MADE ARRESTS.
BUT THE ORGANIZERS AGAIN URGED
THEM NOT TO DO THAT, TO KEEP
+@ THESE PROTESTS PEACEFUL AND
WITHOUT CONFLICT.
WITHOUT CONFLICT. AS OUR 7:00 P.M.
NEWSCAST HIT THE AIR LAST
NIGHT, THERE WAS +@STILL ABOUT
PEOPLE OR SO WHO WERE HANGING
+@
PEOPLE OR SO WHO WERE HANGING +@AROUND PAST CURFEW.
BUT WE DID DID NOT SEE POLICE
TAKING ANY KIND OF IMMEDIATE
+@
+@ ACTION
+@ ACTION TO GO AND ARREST THEM.
INSTEAD, EACH SIDE, POLICE AND
PROTESTE+@RS, LOOKS LIKE THEY'R
WILLING TO BEND A LITTLE BIT,
AT LEAST THESE LAST COUPLE OF
NIGHTS.
NIGHTS.
NIGHTS. IT WAS A DIVERSE CROWD OF ALL
AGES THAT USED THEIR RIGHT TO
+@
+@ PROTEST AND+@ DID IT PEACEFULLY
>> I'M ACTUALLY MEXICAN AND
WHITE.
WHITE.
WHITE. MY
WHITE. MY HUSBAND IS BLACK.
SO, YOU KNOW, IN AMERICA'S
EYES, THEY SEE MY CHILDREN AS
BLACK.
BLACK.
BLACK. AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY THAT IT
IS.
IS.
IS. SO
IS. SO THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHY I'M
HE+@RE BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO
ALLOW THEM TO BE ANOTHER
STATISTIC.
STATISTIC. >> Reporter: WE DO EXPECT A
SIXTH AND SEVENTH DAY OF
PROTESTING HERE IN FORT WORTH.+
THERE'S A PROTEST PLANNED
SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY THIS
AFTERNOON.
AFTERNOON. AND THEN TOMORROW, THEY ARE
PLANNING ON PROTESTING AT CITY
HALL AHEAD OF THE CITY COUNCIL
MEETING.
MEETING.
MEETING. MARK, BACK TO YOU.
>> THANK Y+@OU.
>>> OF COURSE, THESE PROTESTS
SPURRED BY THE DEATH OF GEORGE
+@
+@ FLOYD,
+@ FLOYD, WHICH IS ALSO SPURRING A
CONVERSATION ABOUT RACE AND +@
POLICING IN OUR COUNTRY.
I WANT TO SAY GOOD MORNING
AGAIN TO ENNIS POLICE CHIEF
ANDY HARVEY WHO JOINED US
EARLIER THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR WAKING UP WITH
US, CHIEF HARVEY.
A GUY WHO SPENT 21 YEARS OR SO
IN THE DALLAS PD BEFORE GOING
TO ENNIS, YOU HAVE A LONG
+@
TO ENNIS, YOU HAVE A LONG CAREER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
HOW INGRAINED WOULD YOU SAY
THESE ISSUES ARE?
>> THEY'RE EX+@TREMELY INGRAINE
AND UNTIL WE INCREASE THAT
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND I'M
SPEAKING FROM THE POLICE SIDE,
UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND THE PAIN
AND HURT AMONG BLACKS, WE'RE
NOT GOING TO MAKE PROGRESS.
BUT I'M REALLY ENCOURAGED BY
WHAT I'VE SEEN, EVEN IN THE
LAST WEEK, AND I FEEL LIKE THE
DYNAMIC IS CHANGING, AND I
THINK THAT'S SUCH A GOOD, GOOD
+@
THINK THAT'S SUCH A GOOD, GOOD THING FOR OUR COUNTRY.
>> I HOPE UNDERSTANDING IS
SOMETHING THAT COMES OUT OF
THIS, UNDERSTANDING OF THE
COMMUNITY, ALSO UNDERSTANDING
OF+@ POLICE AND THE RISKS THAT
THEY TAKE EVERY, SINGLE DAY.
BUT ONE THING THAT WE HEAR
ABOUT IN THE PUBLIC THAT'S
TROUBLING IS THIS BLUE CODE OF
SILENCE, THIS RELUCTANCE TO
CALL FELLOW OFFICERS OUT.
HOW DO YOU FIGHT THAT?
>> THAT'S GOT TO CHANGE.
AS A POLICE LEADER, I WON'T
TOLERATE IT,+@ AND I KNOW FELLO
POLICE LEADERS AROUND THE
COUNTRY ARE NOT GOING TO
TOLERATE +@THAT.
TOLERATE +@THAT. THAT HAS TO CHANGE.
AND I THINK THAT'S PART OF WHAT
HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS.
THOSE YOUNG OFFICERS, THEY WERE
AFRAID AND DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
COURAGE -- AND I'M NOT SAYING
IT'S AN EASY THING, AND I KNOW
THEY PROBABLY WANTED TO BUT
THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DID
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. THAT'S GOT TO CHANGE IN OUR
POLICING CULTURE.
POLICING CULTURE. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE WE HAVE
THIS BLUE LINE AND WE'RE NOT
+@
THIS BLUE LINE AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW, CALL EACH
OTHER OUT AND THAT KIND OF
THING.
THING.
THING. IT
THING. IT CAN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE.
AND WE HAVE TO STAND UP TO
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. WHEN IT HAPPENS, WE NEED TO
CALL IT OUT.
WE NEED TO CALL OUT WHAT'S
WRONG.
WRONG.
WRONG. WE
WRONG. WE NEED TO CALL IT WRONG.
AND THEN TAKE ACTION OR ELSE
THIS WILL CONTINUE.
>> REAL QUICKL+@Y, WILL WE GET
THIS FIXED?
THIS FIXED? >> I'+@M ENCOURAGED BY WHAT WE'
SEEING.
SEEING.
SEEING. WE WILL.
WE WILL.
WE WILL. IT WON'T A+@LWAYS BE A PERFECT
WORLD.
WORLD.
WORLD. BUT LOOK AT THE OFFICERS.
I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE SHOWING NOW.
OFFICERS AND COMMUNITY ACTUALLY
COMING TOGETHER.
COMING TOGETHER. IT'S NOT US VERSUS THEM.
IT'S JUST US.
WHEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT, AT THE
END OF THE DAY, WE'RE GOING TO
BE BETTER FOR IT.
I THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT
TRACK.
TRACK.
TRACK. EVERY TIME SOMETHING LIKE
MINNEAPOLIS HAPPENS, IT SETS US
BACK.
BACK.
BACK. BUT
BACK. BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTE
DOING HTWE THINK IS THE
RIGHT THING AND TREATING PEOPLE
WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND
FAIRNESS.
FAIRNESS.
FAIRNESS. AND THOSE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT
@ TO POLICING, AND WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE THAT.
CONTINUE THAT. +@
CONTINUE THAT. AND WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG, WE'RE GOING TO CALL THAT
OUT.
OUT.
OUT. BUT
OUT. BUT I AM ENCOURAGED.
AND I BELIEVE THAT BETTER DAYS
@ ARE AHEAD OF US, I
