The second Trump uses force like that the media will run with it nonstop.
They will literally compare him to Hitler.

POTUS could declare ANTIFA a terrorist organization and then send the Military after them. That would be acceptable under Posse Comitatus as it would no longer be a domestic law enforcement action but a true military action, i.e., defense against terrorism/terrorists.

That would be idiotic. Military exists to kill, and we are already sick of that with the police.
It’s an extremely rare instance that it happens unjustified. But when was the last time we had an Indian uprising? Tragic that it comes to that but it does solve the problem.

Yeah, he can send in the National Guard. What I'm say is, you won't see the 82nd out of Bragg paratrooping into Minnesota or 1st Cav rolling into Houston anytime soon.

In what way am I making a threat? I'm not even out there right now, I am just saying if you have a televised incident where the military open fires on non-armed protestors, this entire country would freak the hell out.

Yes if the Governor of a state requests it.

No, and you shouldn’t. This is tragic, but it’s not unprecedented. Law and order will prevail because our institutions are strong enough.
This is a toddler throwing a tantrum. He/ she will tire out and it will be up to the adults to fix the mess

Meh if law enforcement would start dropping a few rioters in each town there would be no need for that. But we are too soft.
How’s that gonna work out for the poor cop that drops a rioter and ends up getting locked up? frick that Trump needs to step in and end this shite. If Eisenhower can use the 82nd Airborne to integrate a school district, then Trump can use military assets to end these riots

This would be his political suicide.
He needs to override all media outlets, call for the cease of this idiocy, and say each and every state will be under state guard control, so as to restore safety and order for ALL.

What?
Those rioters have no respect for Trump. I said it before and I'll say it again. It's up to the states to handle this. The governors should solve this. If Trump federalizes any of this it needs to be at the request of the governors. They (governors) have to have political courage.

Thank God for that. Although I kind would like to see a National Guard unit do an airborne drop into Minneapolis.

I didn’t say just shoot one at random. I’ve seen multiple video clips already where deadly force would be justified. So, bust a cap.

The best chance we had for a completely dominant show of force was the protestors outside the White House.
I would have loved to see the overwhelming firepower if that iron gate was breached.

Well if law enforcement is too scared to or unable to do law enforcement, then aren't we past the point of law enforcement?
