They’re going to run over you, you’re going to look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate," Mr Trump said, according to CBS News, which cited audio it had obtained.He urged governors to seek retribution, make sweeping arrests and pass laws against burning flags, CBS and the New York Times reported.
Critics have accused Mr Trump, who is seeking re-election in November, of further stoking conflict and racial tension rather than seeking to bring the country together and address the underlying issues. Protesters set fires near the White House yesterday and the smoke mixed with billowing clouds of teargas as police sought to clear from the area crowds chanting "George Floyd".
In Santa Monica, California, upscale stores were looted along the city's popular Third Street Promenade before police moved in to make arrests. The vandalism followed a largely peaceful march.
He is right, cops in some areas were kneeling before people breaking the law.
Liberal governors,liberal cities, liberal rioters who hijacked peaceful protests and encouraged anarchy and destruction. But people here think its all Trumps fault.
Yeah, more tougher to thugs, no doubts, thugs are the enemy of freedom and democracy. It’s same important to find the mastermind behind the plan, it’s likely China communist party. Moving the focus of spreading Covid-19 to the globe.
