Outrage As President Trump Tweets ‘When The Looting Starts, The Shooting Starts’

President Trump sparked outrage with a tweet that seemed to imply Minneapolis protesters should be shot as tensions escalated over the in-custody death of George Floyd. Twitter placed a warning on Trump’s post that said “...when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” saying it was "glorifying violence." The comment repeated an infamous 1967 quote from then-Miami Police Chief Walter Headley, who promised to crack down on black protesters during civil rights demonstrations.
