U.S. Protests: Riots Intensify As Trump Deploys Military by Eborabadan(m): 12:41pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
Protests in the U.S. have intensified as President Donald Trump has deployed the American military to bring the situation under control. Protests against police brutality and systemic racism in the U.S. has set the stage for potential fresh clashes, a week after nationwide rallies ignited in the wake of George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis. The protests have rocked major streets of cities in the U.S. including Washington, New York, and Los Angeles. In Washington, hundreds of protesters gathered in front of a newly erected fence that prevented them from entering a park outside the White House, which federal forces cleared using tear gas a day earlier to allow President Donald Trump to have a photo in front of a church. The U.S. Government plans to use every means possible to bring the protest under control, including the use of force. “There will be even greater law enforcement resources and support in the region tonight,” Attorney General William Barr said on Tuesday. Most peaceful demonstrations in previous days have been marred by rioting and looting at night, causing destruction to property and hurting businesses. Four police officers in St. Louis, Missouri, were reportedly injured by gunshots, as was an officer in Las Vegas, Nevada, during encounters with protesters overnight. Increase in injuries and Arrests Many protesters in the U.S have been injured and thousands have been arrested in cities across the country. Meanwhile, Trump has called on governors to “dominate” the protests and threatened to deploy the armed forces to crack down and end the unrest, while insisting he supports peaceful demonstrations. “If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the U.S. military and quickly solve the problem for them,” Trump said, as tear gas went off outside the White House on Monday. Governors in New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Illinois were among those who have rejected Trump’s push for a heavier hand, as the president seeks to make a show of force and bolster his status as a self-proclaimed leader of law and order. The National Guard has been deployed to states, by governors, however, largely in a back-up role. Curfews have also been imposed in cities in California, New York, Washington, and other urban areas, however, due to the lack of transport systems, the protesters have continued to camp in subways with placards bearing inscriptions like: "I can't breath" and "Justice for Floyd". The protests follow the killing of a handcuffed black man, George Floyd by a white police officer, Derek Chauvin who knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. An independent autopsy by Floyd's family has said he died by asphyxiation. Derek Chauvin has been arrested on charges of third-degree murder, and all four officers involved in the incident in the state of Minnesota were fired. The killing of Floyd has again raised the issue of police violence and heavy-handed tactics used against African Americans. The protests across the country have taken place under the “Black Lives Matter” banner, with protesters slamming what they see as systemic racism and biases.

The fact that the racist Trump was forced to take cover in the White House bunker, is enough victory for those protesters. Him, his wife, and son, were made to feel the fear that African Americans and other minority ethnicities feel whenever they have an encounter with the racist police. The last time an American President had to be forced into protective custody was on Sept 11 2001, when President Bush had to hide during the terrorist plane crashes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Trump and his family felt the fear others have felt. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Throwback: If I ask you to mention one racist thing he has done since coming to power you can't ooo.. George Floyd is killed by a bad cop in a city run by democrats in a state run by democrats The bad cop is a democrat state employee who has had many cases of police Brutality leveled against him yet the democrat officials of the state of Minesota refused to discipline him and remove him from the police yet bigots like you want to blame Trump when you know he has no single diciplinary power over any state police . Trump order the FBI to Fully investigate the case of police brutality even though there is no need for him to do that because it was out of his jurisdiction and ofcourse the democrat governor should be able to discipline a common bad cop but yet people like you want to believe Trump is the one to blame ...How is he the one to blame for a cop that the Democrat establishment should have gotten rid of a long long time ago 2 Likes
