STOP HELPING!

They were there two nights ago. And now multiple cities across the country are burning. https://t.co/oXKwgPTZCI

And about those “few bad cops,” again:

Remarkable on MSNBC: @AliVelshi reporting in Minneapolis as police fire tear gas.

"Nobody was doing anything. They pulled in, they opened fire."

"There has been no provocation. There was nothing that happened whatsoever. The police pulled into this intersection unprovoked."

APNEWSALERT: NEW YORK (AP) — NYPD cruisers drive into protesters who were pelting, pushing barricade against police car, knocking several to ground.

Let New York’s Finest be New York’s Finest. There is nobody better, but they must be allowed to do their job!

Yeah, this’ll help:

On the one hand, some top aides - including CoS Mark Meadows - believe Trump should deliver a formal address to the nation arguing it would offer him a chance to unify the country. Other aides - including Kushner - believe it wouldn’t be helpful, sources tell me & @Santucci https://t.co/eVemwYDooh

Mostly because:

What if he doesn’t think he benefits politically, what if that isn’t actually the consideration, and is just doing it because it’s the default. https://t.co/Tdm1gZ7mGq

Well, and:

Imagine thinking a speech by Donald Trump is what is missing from this disaster. https://t.co/1F6rH0SYzw

Meanwhile, more bad cops:

Police in Minneapolis are firing on us (press) with rubber bullets. Our sound engineer John Marschitz was hit. He is ok. We were not standing within 500 feet of any protesters at the time, and we had credentials displayed and cameras out. #cbsnews pic.twitter.com/Ai6Qd8gLjz

New York’s Finest:

NYPD violently arresting protestors, journalists. They rushed @DGisSERIOUS and i with riot shields even though we were complying and credentialed. I think this might be @letsgomathias ? Would love if someone can confirm. pic.twitter.com/eLUqrNwQBI

And speaking of not helping:

Tonight seeing VERY heavy social media activity on #protests & counter reactions from social media accounts linked to at least 3 foreign adversaries.

They didn’t create these divisions. But they are actively stoking & promoting violence & confrontation from multiple angles.
