U.S. government now sends National Guard Troops

Tonight, June 1, Washington D.C, is placed in a high alert military presence after Pres. Trump sends its 'heavily-armed' military units to protect the state from protesters that are looting, damaging properties, and such.

In his press conference, he said that he is the 'President of law and order' and 'ally of all peaceful protesters.' Trump mentioned that his role as the leader of the U.S.would is to defend the country, and that's what 'he will do.' He even called the blame to 'domestic terrorism' as he speaks to the nation.

POTUS also reiterated that he will do everything for the protests to stop and 'end now.' The President did not cater to any questions from the media on his announcement but said that "thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers" will be sent all over D.C. to bring order.

"As we speak, I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel, and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults, and the wanton destruction of property," he said. "We will end it now."

Even before his public conference, numbers of military men were already heading inside the White House and onto Pennsylvania Avenue.

Trump: 'We support the right of peaceful protests'

Tech Times reported early today, June 1, that White House had experienced a major blackout outside the building early today due to the extreme violence that was happening on the most historic buildings around White House.

It was not said whether it was intentional for the protesters to leave the place, but unfortunately, it even outraged the protesters to continue what they were doing.

Pres. Trump said that he supports all the 'peaceful protests,' but the damages now that resulted in the protests are no longer related to the memory of George Floyd, the black man that was killed during the arrest.

"We support the right of peaceful protests, and we hear their pleas, but what we are now seeing on the streets of our cities has nothing to do with the memory of George Floyd," Trump said in his remarks after watching the first manned U.S. space launch in nearly a decade. "The mobs are devastating the life's work of good people and destroying their dreams."
