Yes, listening is going to stop people from looting stores and just being a bunch of thugs.

White privilege can only be forgiven once you are on your knees and ask for forgiveness after giving 15% of your income to pay for the sins of slavery and inequality.

Which side are the good cops and which side are the bad cops?
I have to ask, what will happen in a case a protester harms Trump? It is a case which will escalate beyond reasonable means.
I still say that this is a domestic political war.

Where did Trump say he is cracking down on protestors?
READ: President Trump's Rose Garden speech on protests
Read President Donald Trump's speech delivered Monday evening at the White House:
Thank you very much. My fellow Americans, my first and highest duty as President is to defend the great country and the American people. I swore an oath to uphold the laws of our nation, and that is exactly what I will do. All Americans are rightly sickened and revolted by the brutal death of George Floyd. My administration is fully committed that for George and his family, justice will be served. He will not have died in vain.
But we cannot allow the righteous prize and peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob. The biggest victims of the rioting are peace loving citizens in our poorest communities, and as they are President, I will fight to keep them safe. I will fight to protect you. I am your President of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters.
But in recent days, our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists, violent mobs, or, arsonists, looters, criminals, rider rioters, Antifa and others. A number of state and local governors have failed to take necessary action to safeguard their residence. Innocent people have been savagely beaten like the young man in Dallas, Texas, who was left dying on the street. Where the woman in upstate New York, viciously attacked by dangerous thugs. Small business owners have seen their dreams utterly destroyed. New York's finest have been hit in the face with bricks. Brave nurses who have battled the virus are afraid to leave their homes. A police precinct has been overrun here in the nation's capital, the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II memorial have been vandalized. One of our most historic churches was set ablaze. A federal officer in California, an African American enforcement hero was shot and killed.
These are not acts of peaceful protest. These are acts of domestic terror. The destruction of innocent life and the spilling of innocent blood is offense to humanity and a crime against god. America needs creation, not destruction. Cooperation, not contempt, security, not anarchy. Healing the hatred, justice, not chaos. This is our mission, and we will succeed 100%. We will succeed. Our country always wins. That is why I am taking immediate presidential action to stop the violence and restore security and safety in America. I am immobilizing all federal resources, civilian and military to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson, and to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans, including your second amendment rights. Therefore, the following measures are going into effect immediately.
First, we are entering the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country. We will end it now. Today, I have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets. Mayors and governors, both established and overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. If the city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residence, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.
I am also taking swift and decisive action to protect our great capital, Washington, DC. What happened in the city last night was a total disgrace. As we speak, I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel, and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults, and the wanton destruction of property. We are putting everybody on warning on a 7:00 curfew that will be strictly enforced. Those who threaten innocent life and property will be arrested, detained, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I want the organizers of this terror to be on notice that you will face severe criminal penalties and lengthy sentences in jail. This includes Antifa and others who were leading instigators of this violence. One law and order, and that is what it is, one law.
We have one, beautiful law. And once that is restored and fully restored, we will help you, we will help your business, and we will help your family. America is founded on the rule of law. It is the foundation of our prosperity, our freedom and our very way of life, but where there is no law, there is no opportunity. Where there is no justice, there is no liberty, where there is no safety, there is no future. We must never give in to anger or hatred. If malice or violence rains, then none of us is free. I take these actions today with firm resolve and with a true and passionate love for our country. By far our greatest days lie ahead.
Thank you very much, and now I am going to pay my respects to a very, very special place.

A picture taken after the police dispersed peaceful protestors away from his path, using teargas, is not listening. That's fanning the flames and shows that he favours an authoritative means. He went to the church to signal his bible belt followers. Which prominent leader did he meet?
Listening to key figures from the communities, showing empathy will get them to come out and start bringing the legitimate protestors in.
The criminal elements will whither away, no longer emboldened by the crowds to hide amongst.
Shooting everyone will lead to indiscriminate killing of peaceful protestors. It will escalate even further.

I am not seeing where he is threatening protesters. I also posted the transcript from his speech in the previous post and can't verify your claim?

Hey lefties, the key swing voters in the suburbs are heavily favouring 'law and order'.
Overplayed your hand, you're a bunch of destructive MFs!
So is he asking the Governors to "dominate" the protestors with flowers?
What is he asking the Governors to do?
Told you in the Trump thread that this goes well for Trump.

He's talking about the rioters. Are you suggesting stealing, arson and attempted murder in some cases shouldn't be criminal offences?
