Violence breaks out near Trump rally in St Louis amid reports of racial slurs
Though Trump has said he discourages violence at his rallies, the Republican frontrunner has encouraged it at times. He recently responding to a protester by asking supporters: “Knock the crap out of him, would you? Seriously, OK, just knock the hell. I promise you I will pay for the legal fees, I promise, I promise.”
The clashes on Friday came as hundreds of people gathered around the Peabody opera house in downtown St Louis, many having been turned away from the over-capacity rally while others were there to protest. Videos posted to social media showed Trump supporters hurling racial slurs and anti-Islamic remarks at protesters and reporters.
St Louis police tackled and took away two men with their hands tied. One, who had a bloodied face, gave his name to MSNBC as Anthony Cage. He was taken into an ambulance, telling police: “I can’t breathe.”
