'He speaks and he makes it worse,' Keisha Lance Bottoms said of the president's remarks about protests over George Floyd's death.
Trump has condemned Floyd’s death, which happened Monday after a police officer knelt on his neck and two others held him down as he stated repeatedly that he couldn’t breathe. But the president has also stoked tensions by threatening to use military force against people looting during the protests.
The president tweeted Saturday that the federal government will “step in” if “Liberal Governors and Mayors” don’t get tougher on non-peaceful protestors, including “using the unlimited power of our Military and many arrests.” “Nobody came close to breaching the fence,” he wrote. “That’s when people would have been really badly hurt, at least. Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action. ‘We put the young ones on the front line, sir, they love it, and ... good practice.’”
