Cities erupt in more violence as Trump decries ‘lowlifes’
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump on Tuesday turned up the pressure on governors to quell the violence set off by the death of George Floyd, demanding New York call up the National Guard to stop the "lowlifes and losers." As cities around the U.S. witnessed a seventh consecutive night of both peaceful demonstrations and bursts of looting, vandalism and attacks on police – the attacks included multiple officers shot in several cities – the president amplified his calls of a day earlier, in which he threatened to send in the military to restore order if governors didn't do it.
