Washington, DC Protests Are Looking Ominous, as The Murderer-in-Chief Threatens Them [View all]



https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-twitter-george-floyd-death-protests-white-house-dogs-guns-a9540216.html?fbclid=IwAR1Nvbr0s8C4z7xvRKfFYiq4Zjv78Y6t5EcwUfA_JR6fDWEBxeArHYbk8t0


In a Twitter thread posted after another night of protests and uprisings against police brutality across the US, the president suggested that US Secret Service members look forward to inflicting violence.

He also appeared to encourage counter protests, promoting "MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE".

The president said: "The front line was replaced with fresh agents, like magic. Big crowd, professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence. If they had they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen.

That's when people would have been really badly hurt, at least. Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action. 'We put the young ones on the front line, sir, they love it, and ... good practice."



His posts also appeared to try to undermine protesters calling for justice in the wake of killings of black men by police by saying that the US Secret Service (which he appraised as "not only totally professional, but very cool&quot had "let the 'protesters' scream [and] 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."



This is who allegedly runs this nation. This is who youth see.

They'll move on Washington even more now.

This suited jackal will live up to his murderous intent. IF the U.S. military is worth our tax money, and worth its superior historical education, this military will not stand by and let him kill off America's next generation.
