The Army was told to ready military police units for possible deployment to Minneapolis after protests escalated for a fourth night, officials said.

The orders came at the behest of President Trump, the officials said, who has been seeking options from his senior national security leaders for how to deal with the chaotic protests that have ignited in dozens of cities over the death of George Floyd.

Deploying military police units would be an escalation in the government response to the unfolding events. Military police units were used in 1992 during the aftermath to the Rodney King verdict in California.
