In June 2020, Trump became increasingly frustrated with the fury ignited by the death of Floyd while in custody of the Minneapolis police, Esper wrote in the book, "A Sacred Oath: Memoirs of a Secretary of Defense During Extraordinary Times," which is slated for release on May 10.

What’s the context of this claim? People say all sorts of things they don’t mean when they’re upset.

But none were shot...... Why do these people write books and add sensationalism in them? To sell the book?

“ Former President Donald Trump wanted to “shoot” demonstrators protesting the May 2020 police killing of George Floyd…” Who the hell didn’t? I would have preferred that they simply quietly have Rip give him a ride to the train station near the Wyoming Border. (Yellowstone reference)

First, all options should be discussed.
Second, it wasn’t a protest (George Floyd riots).....IT WAS ACTUALLY AN INSURRECTION!!
See, now you add the word insurrection and they can shoot and beat unarmed people at will!
To: Erik Latranyi
I bet the truth is more likely “President discussed options for the use of deadly force in response to violent rioting and threats of bodily harm to police and citizens.”

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper says Trump wanted to 'shoot' demonstrators protesting George Floyd's death: book Shooting rioters is exactly what sane rational governments do. Especially arsonists and violent rioters.
Not shooting violent rioters is how you get more violent rioters.
