'Horrified': Around the world,
American allies are stunned (NBC News) |
|
America's
allies and adversaries can't believe what they are witnessing unfold in
Washington, D.C. — a police officer punching an Australian cameraman and
using his shield to strike him in the chest, flash-bang grenades and tear gas
outside the White House. Violent, chaotic scenes like these have been seen
elsewhere around the globe — but the world is not used to seeing them in the
heart of the U.S. capital.
"With
all of its shortcomings, the U.S. has stood for many ideals we dearly
share," a fellow at a London-based think tank said. "Now we are
witnessing an America spiraling down into chaos, poor governance, social
friction, poor policing and poor leadership."
