Listen to this article

US President Donald Trump said something snapped in the ex-Minneapolis cop who knelt on the neck of George Floyd. It caused his death and the week of protests and riots. The former White House press secretary Sean Spicer issued a statement. He delivered his words, “Trump said, it was a terrible thing; it should never have happened; something snapped, I think, with the policeman, and the other three watching it were. I guess you can’t put it in the same category, but it was certainly in a very bad category. Nothing good comes out of that. Nope, that was a very bad thing”. Point to be noted that Derek Chauvin was filmed kneeling on the neck of Floyd for almost 9-minutes as he said “I can’t breathe” and pleaded for his mother, while 3 other officers stood by.

All 4-police officers were fired, arrested, and charged over the death. On Wednesday, Trump was speaking during an interview on Spicer & Co aired on Newsmax TV. Trump criticized the Minneapolis mayor for his handling of the death in police custody. It is important that grief over the death spread from Minneapolis through the rest of the United States and across the globe. Most protests were started peaceful but also including incidents of destructive looting and violent riots. President Trump also called Mayor Jacob Frey a super liberal who was Crying rather than taking action in the aftermath. Trump said, “The liberal mayors, they’ll keep you locked up, but when it comes to the looting and everything, they’re very weak on crime”.

Trump was referring to the strict coronavirus lockdowns in Democrat states. He said, “Super-liberal mayor, he was crying. It’s not nice, but the mayor can’t cry in cases like that. We have a very different attitude on things. I am law and order, they’re not. If they’re not for law and order, you’re going to lose the country”. President has been criticized for his crackdown on looters and rioters following a week of protests and demonstrations, with a show of force on Monday. Washington DC experienced that armed police cleared Lafayette Square before President Trump’s photo-op at St John’s Church. Trump said, “We want to be back to normal, but it’s a little bit soon, but I watch these protesters, and they’re the ones all claiming social distancing and everything else, it’s really interesting”.
