Donald Trump has his own way of handling the civil unrest in Minneapolis following the brutal cop killing of George Floyd — he wants the looters shot.
True-to-form Trump tweeted his outrage, “….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. Thank you!”
That last threat — “when the looting starts, the shooting starts’ — is lifted from a threat made by a former Miami police chief back in 1967 … after brutal police practices resulted in civil unrest.
Now check this out … Twitter immediately tagged Trump’s post, saying, “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.” Translation — Trump’s appalling yet predictable call to violence is irresponsible, but we need to know that’s his mindset.
And he ended by taking an insulting, gratuitous shot at Minneapolis’ Mayor, “I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. 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…..”
Mayor Frey shot back, “Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions. Weakness is pointing yuour finger at somebody else during a time of crisis.”
