Trump is definitely desperate at this point. He has no idea how to respond to this.
What's wrong with any of that?
Nazi avatar promotes "domination" by police force. Shocker.
Time for cattle cars?

On my dad's ranch we used a cattle trailer towed by our heaviest pickup.
Liberty avatar promotes domination by mob rule. Shocker.
Time for gulags?
Neither do you and neither do the democrat leaders of the states and cities where this is a problem.
The violence is not the root problem, it's a symptom. We need leadership that understands this. I recall people protesting peacefully about 3 years ago after Michael Brown was killed, and instead of being listened to, they were ridiculed for being un-American and anti-military. The President even called them "sonsofbitches." The message got ignored and they were verbally attacked for how the message was being communicated instead. Our leadership needs to recognize that excessive police force is a systemic problem nationwide, not just a few isolated incidents by a few bad apples. Meaningful changes like better hiring policies, better training, and better checks & balances would be a good start.
I rode in one many times to go to Green Ramp. They tried to send me to school to drive bigger vehicles, so I could drive the cattle car to the ramp. I failed that mother****er. Three or four days into class, I jack knifed the **** outta something and was sent home. I ain't no ****ing chauffeur.
Now I'm sure, as a nazi avatar, you need to get back to promoting police brutality.

It appears promotion is unnecessary.
People went on a riot and were burning down and looting the city.
Were you people up that these people are peaceful you don't seem to understand the word.

I know going in and cracking heads isn't the solution.
Those in the NFL who protested peacefully, including Colin Kaepernick, were not listened to, understood, and embraced by our leadership. Instead they were called "sonsofbitches" by the President and anti-American by many others. I don't support this violence going on, but when peaceful protests are not being listened to by the ones who most need to listen, what else can we expect? This anger didn't arise in a vacuum. And it's lazy and irresponsible to just label it as "Antifa terrorists" or "left/right wing radicals" and call it a day. That's a blatant dismissal of the root cause of the problem. Excessive force by the police is a trend that needs to be reversed.People went on a riot and were burning down and looting the city.
