Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says he fears the week of violent protests triggered by the fatal arrest of George Floyd will end with people “shot by the military”. After failing to suppress protesters from coast to coast across the states, US President Donald Trump warned he would deploy the military to “quickly solve the problem” if a city or state refused to “take the actions necessary to defend the life and property of their residents”.
Mr Clennell said he believed the situation would only be resolved with military action. “Essentially, you will see the President using the Insurrection Act to overrule the governors if this goes on, which you anticipate it might even if they call in the National Guard," he said. “We’ll effectively have several cities in the US under martial law.

US protests 'blurred' between race issues and anarchy | Sky News AustraliaUS correspondent Cam Stewart says while the majority of protesters in the United States are peaceful, it is a small percentage “that’s really causing the problem”. \n\nViolent demonstrations have spread across the US following the death of unarmed black man George Floyd who was killed by police, sparking riots over police brutality. \n\nMr Cameron told Sky News incentives for citizens to riot became “a blur” between real race issues and anarchy. \n\nHe said protests ramped up in Washington DC where protesters lit the basement of St John’s Church – traditionally the place of worship for presidents – on fire. \n\n“Even to see that was such a symbolic gut punch, if you like, to America,” he said. \n\nImage: AP Oh. Those “mostly peaceful protesters.” Right. The peaceful protester is the most versatile weapon in their arsenal, they should be out there cracking hippy skulls Can Cam Stewart point to any evidence that the killing of George Floyd was racially motivated because nobody else can.
