It was used by a racist police chief in reference to black protesters during the _civil rights movement_, which I think we can all agree is on the right side of history. The parallels are pretty clear to me, I’m not sure what you are missing here
I say with great confidence that Trump is too stupid to know this. Maybe Stephen Miller his far right aide did and pushed the line as a dog whistle but tbh I never heard of it either till now.
I read up on it's use in 1967. ...and it didn't really add anything. Looting leads to police/national guard having to restore order through violence.
There's no hidden meaning here.

The fact that the police chief was racist doesn't make him wrong. He can be both racist and correct that looting generally leads to shooting.
