1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Sis, it's in with He was murdered in broad daylight

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: for the world to see what.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: We want where do we want it up?

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: My administration will always stand against violence, mayhem, and disorder.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: Has declared a state of emergency here in Minneapolis.

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: The reason why buildings are burning are not just for

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: our brother George Floyd.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 4: They're burning down because.

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: People here are saying to people all across this nation,

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: enough is enough.

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: It's massive, isn't it huge?

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: And we were watching this footage on Thursday last week.

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 2: We saw it for the first time on news services

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: here and it was so jarring to see, and you

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: knew that this would result in some sort of world

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: change like we're experiencing right now. I mean this follows too.

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: If you remember, not long ago, there was the black

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: man that was gone down in the street by two

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: civilians and they weren't arrested and nothing happened there either,

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: And I don't think the police officer was actually arrested

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: till probably Saturday morning in this situation where he was

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 2: now charged with murder. But that doesn't stop the reaction,

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: and it's not going to because it is jarring and

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: it's shocking.

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: Derek Chauvin. See his wife's just filed for divorce as

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: well straight away. So he has now been charged with

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: third degree murder.

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting story.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see what happens with that. Obviously,

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of Australian reporters over there. Minneapolis

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: is the epicenter of where it's The riots have been starting,

32
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: a lot of looting going on, a lot of fires

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: going on. The police have had enough. The President Donald

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: Trump has sent in the National Guard and yesterday it

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: was out of control. Ashley was there for Channel seven

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: and this is what happened when she was out in

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: the field.

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: Harry to take on these protesters and throwing clashnag right now.

39
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 4: They don't mean I'm.

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: And she joins US now seven years US Book Bureau

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: Chief Ashley mulaney. Ash thanks for joining us. I mean,

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: this is with your career. I mean, it's an amazing

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: effort you to be involved with this. But yesterday we

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: were fearing for your safety.

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: Look, I don't ever like the media to become the story,

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: particularly not in an instance like this, because there is

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: such an important cause, an important story unfolding at the moment.

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 4: But you're right. It is a really volatile, really hostile

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: situation at the moment for everyone, and that does include

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: the press. I mean, we're spending yesterday. We didn't go

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: looking for certainly didn't go looking for that situation. But

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 4: what happened is those protesters were refusing to leave after

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: the eight pm curfew, and you know, both days the

55
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: police have turned up. It's kind of a little bit.

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 4: They'll fire a little bit of tear gas, the protesters

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: will throw rocks back. This was a different story. They

58
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: just turned up, They gave them one morning and then

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 4: just unleashed. It was like nothing of the experience.

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: In my life Ash we've seen. And you're right, there's

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: there's a fine line here because you don't want the

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: press to be the story. You almost don't want the

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: rights to be the story too, because there are a

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: peaceful protest taking place as well, But the rights can

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: detract from the main issue that we're dealing with here.

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: But when you were the audio we just heard of,

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: you was that tear gas being fired or what was

68
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: that being fired?

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: So it was both. They were just firing volley up

70
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: the volley of the splash grenades, which sort of hit

71
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: the ground and looked like sort of little fireworks when

72
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: they spark, and I think that's what sort of fuss

73
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: has come up? And then hit me off the concrete,

74
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: hit me in the arm, and then tear gas through

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: a lot of peer gas. We were wearing full protective

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: equipment and we wouldn't have put ourselves in that situation.

77
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: Has not had the right protective equipment with us. But

78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: certainly we were trying to capture the scenes, you know,

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: in its entirety, or exactly how this is unfolding at

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: the moment. And it's a really really tense situation. But

81
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: like I said, there was such a shift last night.

82
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: It was like the police had just had enough of

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: the chaos and the anarchy. You know, we've seen all

84
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: that looking and us, and so they just came in

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: in huge numbers and with extra thoughts. Last night.

86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: Did it work, ash, did it work? Were there's still

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: people on the street or were they successful?

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

89
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: You know, I did see a difference last night. I mean,

90
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: it was one way to clear out a crowd, and

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: I think the message has seen, please come and protest

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 4: and demonstrate peacefully because this is an important cause and

93
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: people are rightly angry for what's happened to Georgia, for

94
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: what happened to George Floyd. But there is this curfume

95
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: in place at eight am, and that's designed to stop

96
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 4: this city burning to the ground. There is just so

97
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: many businesses that have just been completely destroyed, people's livelihoods destroyed,

98
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 4: and so that's what they're trying to stop. And I

99
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 4: think by coming in on the front foot last night

100
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 4: did make a difference, and having the support of the

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 4: National Guards to some ten thousand troops on the street

102
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: last night in Minneapolis, I've never imagined I would see

103
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: soldiers patrolling the streets of Minneapolis, quite a quiet suburban

104
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: area standing there with M sixteen that it's quite confronting.

105
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: Really ash back to the main issue here with George

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: Floyd and also the police officer that's now been charged

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: with murder, Derek Shaven, I think his name is. He

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: has a history of abuse, doesn't he.

109
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: Well with everything that's happened, They've definitely looked back into

110
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 4: other incidents, particularly an incident back in two thousand and

111
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: eight where he shot a man too and was the

112
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: subject of an internal investigation. So his whole background is

113
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: being reviewed right now, but yeah, he was a veteran

114
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: police officer. That position that he had George Floyd in

115
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 4: known as a prone position. Police are trained and told

116
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: that that is extremely dangerous whole position to have someone in,

117
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: to have someone on the neck, on their stomach, which

118
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: is exactly what he did for eight or nine minutes

119
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: with George Floyd until he was unresponsive and they lost

120
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 4: the pole. So he's been charged with third degree manslaughter, sorry,

121
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: third degree murder and manslaughter, which is the exact same

122
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 4: charges you might remember that case with Justine Damon, the

123
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: Sydney woman who was shot and killed.

124
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: Yes, the same.

125
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 4: Charges that were laid against that police officer, Mohammad or

126
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: which he was ultimately jailed for twelve years for god as.

127
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: It's horrible to see you, can I ask you, you're

128
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: an Australian white woman that's in the middle of this protest.

129
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: You're there with a camera as well, how are the

130
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: protesters treating you? Ashley mixed.

131
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: For the most part, people understand that we're here and

132
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: we've got a job to do and we're trying to

133
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 4: tell this story. But as you can imagine, there's just

134
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 4: so much rage that has been over the last few days,

135
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 4: and sometimes that anger is directed. I don't take any

136
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 4: of it personally, to be honest, because people are just

137
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: going through so much pain at the moment, and if

138
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: they want to hurl a few a few few things

139
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: my way, that's fine. But it is quite a tense situation,

140
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: that's for sure. And it's just sad to see. I mean,

141
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: it's not just Minneapolis now. You'll see that this is

142
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: a fire that's now spreads right across America. And these

143
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: are places that if you've ever been to La you

144
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: have driuven down the street where shops are being smashed

145
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: on Melroy's Place, right by my house. I just see

146
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: these images just makes me so terribly sad.

147
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: Well, as you're doing an amazing job. It is unbelievable.

148
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: Can you please stay safe for us and you can

149
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,760
