While the initially fiery protests have calmed in recent days after being overshadowed by episodes of violence and looting in cities across the country, including Washington, the anger among protesters over Floyd’s death hasn’t subsided.
Maya Shapiro, a protester who said she was the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, echoed those sentiments.Although the protests are seen by many activists to be an inflection point for race relations in the country, President Donald Trump has called for a forceful show of strength including the deployment of military forces to quell them.
Trump was condemned by political leaders from both sides of the aisle after tear gas and rubber bullets were used to remove protesters near the White House in Lafayette Square on Monday for a presidential photo-op in front of St. John’s Church.the Trump administration’s response to the demonstrations in a statement on Wednesday, saying he was “angry and appalled” with the president’s actions.
Trump had no public events on his daily schedule for Saturday and was not seen to have left the White House. Trump continued to criticize Bowser and further fuel tensions between activists and police throughout the week, on Thursday tweeting a letter calling protesters “terrorists.” “I think we have to hold the federal system — Congress, Department of Justice and the criminal justice reform system — accountable of their actions, because enough is enough,” Acevedo said. “We must stop marginalizing and oppressing brown communities.”
