US President Donald Trump has vowed decisive action to quell unrest in Minneapolis, sparked by the police killing of an unarmed black man, threatening to get the military involved if the city’s mayor won’t do the job “right.”
The ultimatum came early on Friday morning from the president’s Twitter handle, slamming Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as “very weak” and a “radical left mayor,” while warning that the federal government would take over the situation if local authorities don’t bring it under control.
“I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership,” Trump said. “Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right."
These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.

The Minnesota National Guard has already deployed more than 500 soldiers to St. Paul, Minneapolis, and surrounding communities. In a tweet, the Guard said that a “key objective” would be to assist the Minneapolis Fire Department as it battles blazes across the city.
The unrest marks the third day of protests and riots after the brutal arrest of George Floyd by 3rd precinct police. The death of the black man, blamed on officers, and a video of the incident, has sparked outrage across the country.

A turbulent rally in Louisville quickly escalated into chaos, with several people injured by gunfire that rang out when protesters began to violently shake a police vehicle.
Shots were fired on Thursday evening just as hundreds of people were expressing outrage over the police killing of Breonna Taylor, a local woman, during a raid at her house in March.
The violent demonstration began shortly after the media published a 911 call from Taylor’s boyfriend, who reported the shooting. At the time, he was unaware the woman was shot by uniformed officers.
The shooting could be heard on multiple livestreams of the protest, which took place at the intersection of Jefferson and 6th Streets in Louisville.

The Louisville Police Department also denied rumors that their officers fired the shots during the protest. “Some arrests”were made in connection with the shooting while the investigation is ongoing, spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said.
Meanwhile in downtown Louisville, protesters were seen erecting makeshift barricades, at times setting fire to picnic tables and garbage bins. Riot police used tear gas and pepper spray to force the crowds back.
The unrest comes as violent rallies take place in other cities, with people expressing their anger at the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, in police custody in Minneapolis.
