Last night, major protests broke out for eighth day in a row across the US over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of Minneapolis police. One former officer was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter — but protesters argue it's not enough, and other officers involved should also be charged.
Violent Riots have mounted across many US states after President Donald Trump vowed to bring in military in his bid to put and end to the current, unprecedented in pace, protests over the brutal, racist killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Reuters reported that as President Trump was there in the Rose Garden of the White House, vowing to use the U.S. military to halt the protests, law enforcement officers were firing rubber bullets and tear gas to clear demonstrators and allow the president to walk to a church and pose for pictures.
The security forces that moved against protesters at the White House included National Guard military police, Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security police as well as District of Columbia police. The White House said it was clearing the area ahead of a curfew.
“Mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled,” the President said. “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 United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.”
