@NJBeisner
TWO really important things: The police chief (who’s no friend of ICE) admits these protests have been violent since the first night. The National Guard did not arrive until 4am on the morning of the third day. So yes, these riots were riots before Trump “escalated” it by deploying NG.

Secondly, he admits LAPD is overwhelmed. Hence, Trump deploying NG was UTTERLY NECESSARY.

Yes, but is he aware that some don’t like his tone so it’s justified

The narrative that these riots are because of Trump's deployment of the Guard to protect federal buildings wasn't even passing the smell test on NPR this morning.

Newsome doesn't give a shite about LA. He only cares about how he can use this incident to further his political ambitions for the Presidency.

Showing up with cinder blocks in their backpacks.

I was told that photo of the palettes of cinder blocks was fake.

This whole situation exposes the weak leadership in this country from top to bottom.

Ohhhh We asked them to stop and they won't. What can we do?

Pathetic.

Isn't that assault? What if a cop pulled me over and I decided to shoot fireworks at them what would they do? J

I hope that screenshot of him calling out James Woods for posting a pic of the wrong ca riot under his administration gets used

An ABC7 News reporter suggested that law enforcement shouldn’t attempt to stop the mass violence being carried out in LA because “just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.”

Overwhelmed by fireworks?

The ones we used to shoot at each other as kids?

If a police force is scared of a bunch of Mexicans with fireworks we have a problem.

Why is he not firing back?

Those dudes throwing bricks and lobbing scooters off of overpasses should've been killed by snipers. That was attempted murder of law enforcement officers, by every known definition.
