Democrat approved "insurrection" (since people are just throwing that term around).
Maybe instead of calling it the Floyd riots, it should be called May 30th - because much more damage was incurred to DC on this day than at the U.S. Capitol.

From Eric Garner to George Floyd, 12 black lives lost in police encounters that stoked mass protests
Protest chants of "Hands up, don't shoot," and, "I can't breathe," emerged.
"They are bookends in a tragic streak of encounters with U.S. law enforcement, milestone markers that claimed the lives of black people. The eerily similar last words of "I can't breathe" uttered by Eric Garner and George Floyd echo across six years of accumulating carnage in the nation's history as protesters in the burning streets of American cities keep pleading for the recurring nightmare to end.
From the police chokehold that cost Garner his life in New York City to a police officer pinning Floyd's neck under his knee in Minneapolis, demonstrators are repeating the same complaints that black people are paying the disproportionate and ultimate price of lethal actions of law enforcement.
Black lives have been lost in numerous police encounters between Garner's death in 2014 and Floyd's death on May 25. Protesters pouring into the streets of major cities have recited names such as Walter Scott, the 50-year-old South Carolina resident who was shot in the back in 2015 by a white North Charleston police officer following a routine traffic stop, and Jordan Edwards, 15, who was in a car leaving a house party in a Dallas suburb when he was shot to death by an officer who opened fire on the vehicle.
While officers have been arrested and charged in some of the cases, loved ones of most of those killed are still seeking justice."

What does the president have to do with Democrat controlled Minneapolis? They wouldn't even listen to him.
Sorry - not buying that. The Democrats in Minneapolis didn't protect his civil rights. Start there.
Civil Rights Protections Under Section 1983
The official title of “Section 1983” is the Civil Rights Act of 1871. Codified as 42 U.S.C. Section 1983, it is commonly referred to as Section 1983. In larger terms, Section 1983 bars a person from using “color of law” to excuse a violation of constitutional rights.
Color of law refers to any law, rule, statute, or other legal device of a U.S. state or territory. Stated otherwise, Section 1983 ensures that federal rights under the U.S. Constitution outweigh the laws of any U.S. state or territory. In the process, Section 1983 helps protect against violations of federally guaranteed civil rights.
I've wondered about this as well. If we are going to truly be worried about attacks on our government facilities. We need to treat them all with the same disgust regardless of cause or affiliation.
