Washington-Sana
US police forces used excessive force to suppress protesters for their violence and racism in the vicinity of the White House in Washington last night while President Donald Trump was moved to an underground bunker.
According to Agence France-Presse, police fired tear gas, pepper spray and gas bombs in an attempt to disperse demonstrators outside the White House late last night as protests continued to expand across the United States for the sixth night in a row.
Late last night, police forces imposed a curfew in Washington in an effort to control protests that demanded the departure of US President Donald Trump.
In turn, the mayor of the American capital, Muriel Bawser, announced on her page on the social networking site Twitter that she “ordered the deployment of the National Guard in the city to support the police in enforcing the curfew.”
And turned the case of the killing of an American of African descent in cold blood by the American police in the state of Minnesota to an international public opinion issue and sparked continuous protests in most cities and US states and other countries including Canada and Britain.
Like other American cities, Washington has been the scene of widespread tensions and protests, during which police and US military forces used violence and military force. Trump vowed the day before yesterday to use the military's military force to suppress the protesters he described as thugs.
In turn, the New York Times, citing sources described as well-informed, revealed that the White House Secret Service agents transferred Trump to an underground bunker, after the escalation of tension outside the White House walls between the police and protesters.
The widespread protests in the United States after the killing of African American Floyd killed demonstrations and movements against racism in other countries, where Toronto, Canada's largest city, and the British capital, London, witnessed massive demonstrations yesterday to express anger at the racist practices of the American authorities and others.
