Carson told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, June 7, "I believe you're going to be hearing from the President this week on this topic in some detail.
The country has been in a state of unrest for the past three weeks with multiple cities across the nation experiencing peaceful protests and violent clashes with police.
The President has yet to engage the country in a dialogue that would ease the tensions brought about after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.

Even so, Carson believes that the President will set aside some time this week to address Floyd’s killing, the daily protests in response to it, law enforcement’s reaction to the protests and what the federal government will do in response.
Then Trump use of the words, “thugs” when referring to protestors in Minneapolis, and not to mention the President’s own well-documented racially insensitive past, could lead many to believe that whatever is to come will do more harm than good.
