'We are not playing around': Trump issues fresh protest threat from Oval Office

President Donald Trump posted a video of himself speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday about protests in Los Angeles — reinforcing a threat he made just minutes earlier

"If there's an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it," he said referring the the Insurrection Act, an extremely rarely used law that authorizes the president to deploy military forces within the United States to suppress rebellion.

"If we didn't get involved, right now Los Angeles would be burning just like it was burning a number of months ago," he said.
