The USA President has previously warned: ‘When the looting starts, the shooting starts’ (Picture:Getty/Rex) Donald Trump says he will ‘stop mob violence cold’ in another intervention which risks inflaming tensions after a black man died in Minneapolis. Protests over George Floyd’s death and police killings of black people in the US grew yesterday as footage of violent confrontations between officers and demonstrators shocked the world. Demonstrations have spread to London, Berlin and Toronto, as Black Lives Matter protesters rallied against police brutality and racism. But the US President’s latest intervention is unlikely to calm the situation, as he appeared to take the side of police officers, many of whom have been filmed in ugly clashes with protesters. He has previously said protesters face ‘most vicious dogs’ and ‘most ominous guns’ if they storm the White House – but denies stoking tensions. Speaking in Cape Canaveral yesterday, Mr Trump said his administration would ‘stop mob violence, and we’ll stop it cold’. He added: ‘What we are now seeing on the streets of our cities has nothing to do with justice or with peace. The memory of George Floyd is being dishonoured by rioters, looters and anarchists. We cannot and must not allow a small group of criminals and vandals to wreck our cities and lay waste to our communities.’ Earlier this week, the US President said: ‘When the looting starts, the shooting starts’. And last night he again appeared to cheer on tougher tactics by police, commending the National Guard deployment in Minneapolis and declaring ‘No games!’ He said officer in New York City ‘must be allowed to do their job!’ and taunted protesters on Twitter. Mr Trump claimed to have been watching from inside as officers ‘let the “protesters” scream & rant as much as they wanted, but whenever someone …. got too frisky or out of line, they would quickly come down on them, hard – didn’t know what hit them’. Derek Chauvin, 44, has been charged with third-degree murder in the case, after videos emerged of a white American police officer kneeling on Mr Floyd’s neck as he pleaded: ‘I can’t breathe’. But many protesters are demanding the arrests of the three other officers shown at the scene in video footage which has since gone viral. {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T43S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/05\/31\/12\/29036492-0-image-a-4_1590923093467.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-05-31T12:04:56+0100”,“description”:“Speaking in Cape Canaveral, US President Donald Trump warned his administration would "stop mob violence, and we’ll stop it cold".”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/05\/31\/7103947204986191762\/960x540_MP4_7103947204986191762.mp4”,“height”:540,“width”:960} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video After widespread outrage spread to the nation’s streets, more than a dozen cities are now under curfew, and at least 30 have been the scene of protests. Police vehicles were set ablaze and injuries mounted as the country convulsed through another night of unrest following months of coronavirus lockdown – a crisis which has left 40 million Americans unemployed. The protests – which began in Minneapolis – have left parts of the city a grid of broken windows, burned-out buildings and ransacked stores. The unrest has since become a national phenomenon as protesters highlight years of deaths at police hands. Last night, more than 1,300 people had been arrested in 16 cities since Thursday, with at least 500 of those happening in Los Angeles on Friday.

After a tumultuous Friday night, racially diverse crowds took to the streets again for mostly peaceful demonstrations in dozens of cities from coast to coast. But like Friday, many of those protests descended into violence, with cars pushing into people in at least three cities. In Washington, the National Guard was deployed outside the White House. In Philadelphia, at least 13 officers were injured when peaceful protests turned violent and at least four police vehicles were set on fire, amid other fires downtown. In the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the site of a 1921 massacre of black people that left as many as 300 dead, protesters blocked intersections and chanted the name of Terence Crutcher, a black man killed by a police officer in 2016.

A video showed two NYPD cars lurching into a crowd of demonstrators who were pushing a barricade against one of them and pelting it with objects, knocking several people to the ground. In 2014, Ferguson saw ten days of protests after unarmed teenager Michael Brown’s death, while in 1992, race riots in Los Angeles left scores dead after four white officers were acquitted following the beating of black motorist Rodney King.
