U.S. President Donald Trump lambasted the nation’s governors as “weak” on Monday, demanding they crack down on protesters and arrest them after six nights of chaotic demonstrations in dozens of American cities in the wake of the death of a black man in police custody in Minneapolis. The U.S. leader told the governors in a video conference that they “have to get much tougher” with demonstrators after watching as Sunday night protests that often started peacefully devolved into clashes with police and other authorities clad in riot gear. Police in several cities fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters to disperse them, even as some demonstrators torched police cars and also ransacked and looted stores. “Most of you are weak,” Trump told the governors. “You've got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again.” One of the protests unfolded just across the street from the White House in Washington … [Read more...] about Trump Calls for Tougher Action Against Protesters
