FUTURECAST. COMING UP IN LESS
THAN 15 MINUTES. TIME TALKING
THEN. THANK YOU, MIKE. TONIGHT,
THE TRIANGLE IS PREPARING FOR
EVEN LARGER PROTEST IN THIS
COMES AFTER 2 DEMONSTRATIONS
IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH. ALREADY
THIS WEEK. THE FIRST ON
TUESDAY, WE WE SAW ANOTHER JUST
LAST NIGHT'S DRAWING HUNDREDS
BOTH AGAINST IMMIGRATION
ENFORCEMENT ON SATURDAY.
THOUSANDS
COULD PARTICIPATE IN PROTEST IN
OUR AREA ALONE. THIS IS A MAP
OF WHERE THEIR PLANNED ACROSS
THE STATE RIGHT NOW AND AROUND
THE COUNTRY AND WHAT ORGANIZERS
ARE CALLING KNOW. KING'S DAY
OF DEFIANCE. AND THIS IS
AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
ACTIONS IN HIS SECOND TERM
WRAL'S FLYNN SNYDER SPOKE WITH
THE GROUP HELPING TO PUT ON
THIS PROTEST IN RALEIGH JOINS
US NOW LIVE.
>> WHEN THE LOCATION OF
SATURDAY'S DEMONSTRATION HAS
SOME PEOPLE KIND OF SCRATCHING
THEIR HEADS.
>> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
DIFFERENT FROM THE
DEMONSTRATIONS WE SAW EARLIER
THIS WEEK WHICH WE ARE HELD
IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH, THE
PROTEST ON SATURDAY WILL TAKE
PLACE HERE ALONG A VERY BUSY
CAPITAL BOULEVARD JUST SOUTH
OF I-540, NOW 1300 PLUS PEOPLE
ARE SET TO GATHER ALONGSIDE ONE
OF RALEIGH'S MOST BUSIEST
CORRIDORS.
>> CORE ENGINES IN TRAFFIC
LIGHTS ARE A COMMON SCENE ALONG
CAPITAL BOULEVARD IN NORTH
RALEIGH WILL SOON BE JOINED
BY THE SOUND OF PROTESTERS.
WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET ANY
PERMITS FOR DRUG AND IT IS WITH
GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION.
50 51 AND SEE WHICH IS PUTTING
ON KING'S DAY PROTEST IN
RALEIGH. HE SAYS A PERSON AND A
SILLY ENDED WITH THE GROUP
APPLIED FOR A PERMIT TOGETHER
DOWNTOWN, BUT WAS DENIED CITING
SEVERAL UNRELATED EVENTS
ALREADY HAPPENING THERE
SATURDAY. WHILE WE WOULD LOVE
TO BE AT THE CAPITOL, WE JUST
UNFORTUNATELY CAN'T WITH
RALEIGH PD AND CAPITOL POLICE
BEING STRETCHED SO THIN WITH
THE AMOUNT OF POLICE BEING
AROUND WITH THOUSANDS EXPECTED
IN RALEIGH AND ACROSS THE
TRIANGLE SATURDAY, PROTESTERS
ARE SET TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST
PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THE SAME
DAY HE SET TO HOLD A MILITARY
PARADE IN DC TO COMMEMORATE THE
ARMY'S 200 50TH ANNIVERSARY.
NORTH CAROLINA GOP SPOKESPERSON
SAID IT'S SHAMEFUL THE RADICAL
LEFT WING DEMOCRATS BY
PROTESTING THE U.S. ARMY'S 200
50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION OVER
THEIR HATRED OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP. DONNA IS CALLING FOR
PROTESTERS TO REMAIN PEACEFUL.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYONE STAYING SAFE AND THAT
THINGS ARE BEING DONE RIGHT?
>> CAPITOL POLICE DID NOT
IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO OUR
REQUEST FOR COMMENT. RALEIGH
POLICE FOR THEIR PART SAYS THEY
DID NOT RECEIVE A PERMIT
APPLICATION FOR PROTESTS THIS
WEEKEND AND THEY WOULD NOT
DISCLOSE THEIR SECURITY PLANS
FOR THE EVENT TO US. THEY DID
SAY THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE
PUBLIC OF ANY DAY OF ROAD
