after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes despite Floyd’s pleas that he couldn’t breathe. The four officers involved in Floyd’s arrest were fired and now face charges in Floyd’s death.
It was also clearly a message to President Trump, who immediately condemned the mayor on Twitter, calling her “incompetent.” She ignored his insults but asked governors who had sent National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to withdraw them, saying they were unnecessary and “encroached on the rights” of city residents.
Few American cities have endorsed the demonstrations as enthusiastically and officially as the District of Columbia. The mayor has ordered what she calls “extraordinary” law enforcement to stand down, and on Friday night as tropics-worthy rainstorms drenched activists, the police or troop presence appeared diminished from previous nights.
