violence president trump has vowed to deploy the military if the violence isn't reined in critics including democratic opponent joe biden have slammed trump for fanning the flames of hate rather than leading the country in crisis. president trump chose the rose garden at the white house 1st speech that was to become a show of force his response to the unrest gripping the nation in the weeks since george floyd was killers. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them i am also taking swift and decisive action to protect our great capital washington d.c. . that's chump was speaking the d.c. police were making good on that promise.

several 1000 demonstrators had gathered peacefully pretty legal protest in lafayette park across from the white house. on the streets of the u.s. capitol. backed up by mounted police officers. there the protesters with standing in the way of the u.s. president i take these actions today with firm resolve and with a true and passionate love for our country by far our greatest days lie ahead. thank you very much and now i'm going to pay my respects to a very very special place trump's destination sin john's church also across the road from the white house it was damaged by fire in unrest on sunday once that he had the bible aloft but the trump paying his respects didn't involve praying. have

a great god it's mighty good to. see what's going on and coming back back. to people greater than ever before a pro mice the future great and i sent a photo op trump's walkabout has already drawn shock criticism from his likely contender in november the presidential battle peaceful protesters. dispersed in order for a president oppression from the doorstep of the people's house the white house using tear gas 'd and flash grenades during this stage photo all we can be forgiven for believing the president's more interested in power then in principle and the bishop of st johns. said she was outraged by trump's visit calling protest sacred and accusing trump of using the holy scripture as a quote symbol of division. and let's get more now we are joined by our washington

bureau chief alexandra phenomena standing by at the white house alexander we saw trump in that report threatening military action does he have the authority to send the military and. while he has the authority to deploy the u.s. military to end civil disorder revolution or or rebellion he can invoke the so-called it's a rickshaw act that was invoked a few times in american history last time in 992 during a rodney king on rest in los angeles however normally this states would request the help of the you asked military so far no governor has expressed such a wish president could in theory you reach a deploy the u.s. military against the will of the states if they are rebelling against

a federal government a war on the able to end the violence however this is a step in times of peace could be politically very difficult and also unconstitutional and we also have to say that he's threats were were met with a lot of criticism even within the pentagon where were they are voices of expressing concern and going to come forward which is such a threat saying that they americans shouldn't get used to seeing a uniformed service members in the streets and that such a step would start there escalate the situation. we also heard joe biden the democratic present presumptive presidential nominee is saying that the president is more interested in power than principle he's accusing trump of quote fanning the flames how is all of this playing with trump supporters.

well i think. that did die hard strum supporters of the law for the president and it doesn't matter what he does because they don't believe the media they don't listen to his critics so they love the way the president is presenting himself white now as a president of law and order the president has also a white white and chong christian base and he is apparently trying to focus on his christian voters right now we so at this photo yesterday when he was posing at the st john's church with the bible in his hand he it it was met with a lot of criticism by different religious leaders but some evan jelly come leaders were happy with what the president was doing today he visited. st john paul the 2nd national shrine and later on he signed an executive order to advance

international religious freedom so all despots of course meant to activate his christian base however we also have to say that he's and it capability of of unifying the nation accent sending a message of unity to come towards the nation to to address the root cause of the crowd just by doing so he is risking losing very important voter groups such as suburban women and independent voters alexandra phenomena with a view from washington thank you. well some major media companies are joining performers and activists in a day of solidarity in response to the death of george floyd in minneapolis they are calling it black out tuesday the effort may be having some unintended consequences reporter william croft here in the studio to tell us a little bit more about that side of the story so what's been the response so far well you know the popular expression the show must go on no matter what the show

must go on that's actually not what's happening here organizers are saying the show must be paused as action with this campaign is being called for blackout tuesday calling on performers of all kinds not just famous people but anyone who creates who performs to take this day to pause what they do in their life and to put on their social media accounts a black image we can see it actually here if you were to go to instagram right now and search black out tuesday you're going to see many of people's posts just black after black after black but have a look here when we switch from black out tuesday to black lives matter another popular hash tag and of course the representation of the movement also black after black after black and that has got a lot of people affiliated with black lives movement rather upset because this is not just a throwaway hashtag black lives matter it's not just a way to show support is actually a way to exchange information to share what's going on to show what's happening and

black lives movement people are saying please we appreciate the thought but if you're going to do this but keep it to black out tuesday and keep black lies matter out of the way so don't use the hash tag black lives matter black lives today there's a very strong economic component in fact economic goal for this particular movement have activists been trying to deal with that well quite literally getting online lots of internet people going out there and saying fix this fix the issue we almost all the posts that we went through today in our research just people are out there commenting on pages we can see. here just showing commenting in the bottom of instagram post please remove this tag please remove black lives matter tags you can see this here for example please edit the caption or move black lives matter we've been seeing this over and over and over again on instagram on twitter again thank you for this thought it's a nice show of solidarity but is actually preventing us from sharing information important coordination organizational events and meanwhile don't just put up

a black image with do something constructive with the day share a piece of history share a piece of work support the black community support charities learn more about racism and of course in november there's an election go out and vote way of glue cruft thank you. well as police cracked down on the protest videos posted on social media sites show that many cases of what appeared to be targeted police violence against reporters and camera operators some counts put the number of cases at more than $100.00 including a team have a look. take. a. look at brett this is perth. we're not going to have our own the murder of a car. well that was you know your correspondent on demons he was shot at with rubber bullets in minneapolis over the weekend in a 2nd incident he and his crew were shot at again as they tried to drive away from
