George Floyd protests

Gov. Ron DeSantis has support from Florida’s Republicans, but Democrats and others blast his proposal as racist and unconstitutional.

The move comes as President Donald Trump, the man who propelled Gov. Ron DeSantis to the Governor’s Mansion, campaigns for reelection on a “law and order” platform.

DeSantis called for local governments that attempt to defund law enforcement to be denied state money while protecting law enforcement officers from "professional agitators."

The charges stem largely from peaceful protests that turned violent over the death of George Floyd.
