Opinion: America Is Too Big To Fall, But Can Implode, By Owei Lakemfa
This is typified by the actions of President Trump, who seemed so irritated and insulted by the protests that he threatened to turn out the military to clear protesters from the streets.

A country built on exploitation and run on an unjust system, necessarily needs a brutal police force to maintain its old ‘law and order’ falsehood.
