States and cities must get 'much tougher' on anti-police protests over the killing of GeorgeFloyd or the federal government will step in - US President Trump
Earlier, US President Trump said protesters would have been"greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen."
"Liberal Governors and Mayors must get MUCH tougher or the Federal Government will step in and do what has to be done, and that includes using the unlimited power of our Military and many arrests," he said in a tweet. "While he hides behind his fence afraid/alone, I stand w/people peacefully exercising their First Amendment Right after the murder of #GeorgeFloyd and hundreds of years of institutionalised racism," said Bowser, who is black.
After marching away, demonstrators assembled again later and videos showed pushing-and-shoving matches between officers and protesters trying to push over metal barriers. The crowd dispersed early Saturday morning.
