Peaceful protests sparked by anger over the police custody death of George Floyd again descended into furious riots after nightfall Monday in several U.S. cities, while the Trump administration vowed to mount a more forceful response to contain the chaos.
“We must never give in to anger or hatred. If malice or violence reigns, then none of us is free,” President Donald Trump said at a Monday press conference, at which he urged mayors and governors to “establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled.”
