Trump states: The protests are not peaceful ... George Floyd's right will not be lost.
The American protests entered their sixth consecutive day, and they witnessed violence, looting, and theft of shops and commercial companies, burning and destroying police cars and government buildings, prompting the rulers of some states to impose a night curfew or to declare a state of emergency.
Within 6 days, US President Donald Trump tweeted, commenting on the Floyd incident that took place last Monday, in Minneapolis, and on violent incidents, and accused the Antiva movement of setting fires in America and of being behind the demonstrations.
In his first televised speech, commenting on Floyd’s killing, Trump said he had sworn and constitutional oaths to protect his country and people, stressing that Floyd’s death would not be in vain.
He added that peaceful protests are permitted in the context of maintaining peace and not deviating from its path, continuing his speech, saying: "The current demonstrations are not peaceful and they pursue violence and destroy and burn public and private property," stressing that the right to peaceful protest is guaranteed by law and the constitution.
Trump announced that he had asked state governors to deploy additional forces to control the situation in light of the spread of demonstrations, violence and sabotage.
Trump said that, in the absence of the law, there will be no future or security for individuals.
He stressed his continued deployment of thousands of heavily armed soldiers to stop the violence and riots.
The US President, the organizers of this mess, vowed to punish him for many years in prison, including the "Antiva" organization, which he had previously decided to classify as a terrorist organization, and repeatedly accused him via Twitter of spreading chaos in the country.
US President Donald Trump has said that he will make a decision to deploy the army if things escalate to quickly establish security and order.
He added that his administration is fully committed that the death of the African-American citizen George Floyd will not be in vain.
He stressed that he would issue presidential orders to stop the vandalism and violence that is taking place in several states in response to the killing of the African-American citizen, George Floyd.
"I accept the peaceful demonstrations that took place to protest the killing of George Floyd, by an American policeman in Minneapolis, but I will not accept chaos and looting."
An official report issued by the American province of Hennepin revealed that the autopsy of the African-American citizen George Floyd showed that he was "killed" after the blood flow to the brain stopped because the white policeman pressed his neck, according to Reuters news agency.
The report stated that Floyd died due to a loss of blood flow due to pressure on his neck while being restrained by the Minneapolis Police, local Fox 9 television reported.
Antonio Romanouchi, lawyer for the George Floyd family, an African-American citizen who was killed by a white policeman, in the city of Minneapolis, said that an autopsy showed that Floyd died of suffocation.
Romanucci added, as reported by "The New York Times", that George Floyd died not only because of the pressure of the white policeman's knee on his neck, but also because of the other officers who helped install it.
The New York Times reported that Floyd's family hired Dr. Alicia Wilson of the University of Michigan and Dr. Michael Baden, a former medical examiner in New York City, to help determine the cause of Floyd's death.
"The pressure of the policeman's knee on George's neck was not only the cause of his death, it was also the weight of the other two police officers on his back, which prevented blood from flowing to his brain and stopping air flow to his lungs," the family's lawyer said.
Another family lawyer, Benjamin Crump, said that emergency medical records showed that Floyd had died at the scene.
He added that knee pressure on his back pressed his lungs and prevented them from entering and leaving the air.
The preliminary forensic report showed that Floyd may have died as a result of health problems and alcohol consumption, and not as a result of asphyxia caused by a policeman pressing his neck during his arrest.
The Business Insider website said the preliminary autopsy report of Floyd showed that "there were no physical findings to support the diagnosis of asphyxia."
Instead, the report noted, "the combined effect of a policeman restricting Floyd, the victim's health conditions and possible intoxicants found in his blood, all of which probably contributed to his death."
According to the report, Floyd had basic health problems, including coronary artery disease, heart disease and high blood pressure
