Throughout Monday, pressure grew on Donald Trump to take action to address the rising unrest in major cities across the US. As the sun set in Washington, DC, in a hastily arranged Rose Garden address, the president outlined what that action would be.
Governors were warned that if they did not effectively secure property and safety on the streets, the president would cite a centuries-old law to dispatch the US Army on American soil. And in the District of Columbia, which is under federal authority, the president had already ordered the military to deploy in force.
Moments before the president spoke, promising he was on the side of peaceful protesters, those armed soldiers cleared out peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square, across the street from the White House.
It set the stage for the president to walk with his senior staff across the park to St John’s Church, which was lightly damaged in a fire set by rioters the previous evening - an important symbolic gesture or an unnecessary photo opportunity, depending on one’s perspective.
Posing in front of the building with a Bible, he promised that America was "coming back strong" and "it won't take long".
There was no talk of police reforms or the root causes of the protests that began last week at any point in the evening’s proceedings. Instead, he said he was the "president of law and order" - a sign, it seems, that his solution to the ongoing crisis will be an escalation of force.
As night falls across the US, the consequences from this latest move will come into view.

Moments ago, we saw President Trump standing outside a church holding up a bible.
But just before this, armed soldiers were seen chasing out peaceful protesters - clearing the way for Trump to walk towards the church.
The church in question is the historic St John's Episcopal Church - which has been attended by every US president since James Madison in 1816. It was lightly damaged in a fire set by rioters the previous evening.
But the region's bishop - has accused Trump of using the church as a "prop".
The Right Rev. Mariann Budde told the Washington Post: "I am outraged... [i] was not given even a courtesy call that they would be clearing with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop, holding a Bible... one that declares that God is love when everything [Trump] has said and done is to enflame violence.
"I don't want President Trump speaking for St John's."

Devout orange man tear-gasses neighbours on way to church

"We had seen the elderly man once or twice before but only from a distance. As he angrily declined to leave our porch and appeared confused, clutching at a small book with 'bibel' sharpie'd on it, we thought it best to call 911" Mary Ann from St John's Episcopal told CNN
More at eleven

Women look for men to look after them, so this is like a courting for some of them

I'm waiting to see if Cooper or Cuomo give Covid a mention tonight, I'm sure they must remember that Covid was heralding the end of the world but 2 short weeks ago.
Cuomo might be in a bit of a bind tonight as no doubt he will be at pains to emphasize that the looters will be destroying property, stealing and wrecking lives in the name of George Floyd which would be at odds with his brother who is threatening to bring in the National Guard to put a stop to them.

But someone has predicted they are going to use the riots as a way of bringing about a 2nd wave
Covid 2 Attack Of The Rioters
Amazing how quickly they've forgotten about covid But someone has predicted they are going to use the riots as a way of bringing about a 2nd wave Covid 2 Attack Of The Rioters
Well, if Covid has anything about it, then this would surely be beyond its wildest dreams!!!
As for the economy returning, you would assume that that would be dependent on having some retail outlets not being burnt out.

They've got their ultimate blame game in with all this
Virus and riots, virus took us out of action and then those damn rioters helped in destroying businesses as well as spreading a 2nd wave...

The thing is when they've got enough propaganda from the riots they'll just jam live streams and the media will quickly move onto something else
They'll fizzle out because they will make sure they do

And just like that the media have started to downplay it
"violence falls on defiant night"
Yup that's the end of the riots then, it'll now be phased out and something else will take its place in the propaganda news cycle

There was violence throughout the country during this whole event but not reported by the media at all, what CNN showed was staged photo ops and any violence they showed on a loop was their own agent provocateurs
The troops in those numbers would only matter in DC not anywhere else. No need for martial law now the riots are as predicted fizzling out, most will not bother now they've been told its easing

Normally you'd be horrified to see the children of the victims in these press conferences as the grief would be too much, however, in this case the poor guy's daughter looks like she couldn't care less about it, did she actually know him?

Anything presented in the media is fake, they prefer to do it that way because its easy to control a narrative
They can't control real grieving parents for example, they'd go off script and would talk outside the studio
