Many are calling for a ‘healing speech’ from president Donald Trump, tackling racial inequality and police reform head on.
Those are the demands of many protesters outraged over the death of black American George Floyd at the hands of a police officer.

He said he’s an ally of peaceful protesters, but threatened to deploy the military if local officials fail to take control.
But is that the answer to growing public anger?
And will his speech give it more momentum?
