"You have to dominate the streets," he said, calling on governors and mayors to deploy more forces in their cities in response to widespread protests following the death of George Floyd in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department. He said every American deserves equal and fair treatment from law enforcement and what happened to Mr. Floyd should never happen again. "Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying, 'This is a great thing that's happening for our country.' This is a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody. This is great day for everybody."
