Senate Democrats unveiled a draft resolution condemning US President Donald Trump for his handling of the week-long protests over the killing of an African American citizen by the police, while the Justice Secretary confirmed that security reinforcements were sent to Washington, DC.

Democrats attributed the draft to Trump ordering federal officers to use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the protesters off the White House.

The project - which Republicans are expected to oppose and whose text was published by CNN - confirms that the protesters were protesting peacefully within the framework of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to Americans.

On the other hand, the project considered violence and looting illegal and unacceptable and inconsistent with the purpose of peaceful protests.

Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's office said he would submit the draft to the Senate today.

Schumer had said on Twitter that Trump had ordered gas bombs against peaceful protesters, so that he could take a picture and appear as a strong man.

Schumer issued a joint statement with Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in which they said that the American nation needs real leadership in these delicate circumstances, and accused Trump of continuing to "deepen division, division, hatred and violence, in a move characterized by cowardice, weakness and gravity."

The potential Democratic presidential candidate, Joseph Biden, has attacked President Trump for his handling of the country’s protests and the police’s use of excessive force.

Biden said - in a speech in Philadelphia - that Trump is part of the problem and not a solution.

A number of people protested against President Trump and his wife, Melania, visiting the St. John Paul II National Shrine in Washington in the morning, and protesters held banners affirming the importance of black lives.

Church Archbishop Michael Carey criticized Trump's use of that historic church to take pictures, and wrote on Twitter, "He used the Church and the Holy Bible building for partisan political purposes."

It is noteworthy that Trump had called in a tweet to his New York City to call the National Guard to confront the unrest, praising the security measures taken on Monday to control security in Washington, which he said had witnessed no incidents during the night.

Trump said in a tweet on Twitter that many of the arrests had taken place, and that everyone had done a wonderful job, adding that Minneapolis (the epicenter of the protests) was also great.

In a new tweet, Trump said on his Twitter account that his administration has done more for African Americans than any president has given them since Abraham Lincoln, adding that the next is greater.

“My administration has done more for the black community than any other president since Abraham Lincoln,” he said in the tweet, noting that it endorsed university funding for blacks, school selection, and criminal justice law reform, noting “the lowest unemployment, poverty and crime among blacks in history” ".

For his part, US Attorney General William Barr said that additional reinforcements will be sent tonight to Washington DC.

For its part, the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) announced that it does not favor calling the army to face civilian movements, and said in a telephone briefing that the responsibilities of the forces are to protect lives and property.

The ministry also confirmed that 67,000 members of the National Guard are deployed in the US states, the largest number in a while.

New York extension ban

For his part, New York Mayor Bill de Plazio announced the extension of the curfew in the city until next Sunday, and the extension of his hours to start from eight in the evening until five in the morning.

The authorities imposed a curfew for one day, starting at 11 pm on Monday, and then extended it for a second day because of the continued looting.

On the other hand, local media reported that a policeman died after being shot in the head near the headquarters of the Federal Court in Las Vegas, Nevada, without clarifying the circumstances of the accident.

In Missouri, St. Louis city police said that four policemen were shot during protests in the city, and were taken to hospital, but their injuries were not serious.

The curfews in more than 40 cities and security deployments come at levels not seen in the United States since the riots that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King in 1968, and the National Guard was then deployed in 23 states and Washington, D.C.
