The USA burst into protests after the killing of George Floyd, an African American man who was in police custody.
Floyd was arrested by an officer who included Derek Chauvin who went on to murder him by stepping on his neck with his knees in the full glare of the cameras 7 days ago. A few days later peaceful protests began in the USA.
The protests have now turned violent, leading to US President Donald Trump christening the protestors thugs.
The US government has more than once considered using the military all over the country.
On Monday, Trump called for the military to be deployed to “dominate” protesters, and demanded states do more to stem “acts of domestic terror.”
