Can't you just shoot them?

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper charges in a memoir out May 10 that former President Trump said when demonstrators were filling the streets around the White House following the death of George Floyd: "Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?"

Especially given the degree of polarization in how such a POV from the president would be apt to be perceived by the split electorate.
