Attorney General William Barr has directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to deploy riot teams to the District of Columbia and Miami to help quell the outbreaks of violence as peaceful protests against police brutality across the country have morphed into chaotic scenes of looting and destruction.
Many nonviolent protests in cities across the United States after the police custody death of George Floyd have erupted into chaos, with Barr saying in a statement Sunday that law enforcement would target “violent radical agitators who have hijacked peaceful protest.”
