Pentagon chief opposes using troops to quell protests
Defense Secretary Mark Esper rejected invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy active duty troops for police work during civil unrest. He noted the act should be used only in dire situations and said the current protests do not meet that threshold. Esper criticized Minneapolis police for Floyd murder and described the photo op with Trump at St. John’s Church as inappropriate.
