Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has called out US President Donald Trump.
The wrestler-turned-actor believes President Trump shouldn't be sending out the army to handle protestors.
In a video posted to his Instagram, Dwayne said, "There is military force that has been deployed on our own people. Looters, yes. Criminals, absolutely. But on protesters, who are begging and pleading, our protesters who are in pain? You would be surprised how people in pain would respond when you say, 'I care about you.' When you say to them, 'I'm listening to you.'"
