Trump threatens protesters with the use of extreme force and protests continue in many American cities and states

Washington-Sana

US President Donald Trump has threatened to use unlimited military force against demonstrations across the United States after a young African American was killed by police in the city of Minneapolis.

Trump justified in two tweets on his Twitter account yesterday his threat to suppress American citizens exercising the right to demonstrate and express by saying that “crossing the state’s borders in order to incite violence is a federal crime threatening that if the rulers and mayors are not more stringent in their treatment of protesters, then The federal government will interfere and this includes the use of unlimited force for our military and the execution of many arrests. ”

Trump considered that 80 percent of the demonstrators in Minneapolis yesterday came from outside the state and said they were "hurting business."

Trump indicated that the armed forces could deploy in Minneapolis very quickly if the local authorities requested it ... while the Minnesota Governor summoned the state's National Guard after several nights of confrontations in a measure unprecedented since World War II.

Hundreds of demonstrators went out to protest in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York, Washington and a number of other cities yesterday after Trump's threat and confrontations took place between the police and protesters in New York after the police ordered them to retreat on the pretext that these gatherings were illegal and a number of protesters were arrested.

In Los Angeles, police officers fired rubber bullets during a confrontation with protesters, and police officers clashed with protesters in Chicago and New York, where several arrests took place.

The authorities imposed a curfew last night in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Cleveland, Columbus, Portland, Miami, Milwaukee and Rochester in New York, and the National Guard issued a statement on the status of forces in the capital in a state of readiness to maintain security.

Protests erupted in Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd, an African American, who appeared in a video breathing his last breath, while a white police officer pressed perched on his knee above his neck.
