I reallllly don't like the President mobilizing the military against citizens to quell rebellion even when its lawless violence like we're seeing. I hope it doesn't come to that. State and local officials need to find their balls and get their shite under control.

Atlanta doesn't seem as bad tonight, nor does Minneapolis.

Probably will see little shite in the cities, but one big night per city seems to be what is happening.

The other option is to cut the police loose. Then you’ll have a war. But the police will eventually win.

Democrats refuse to. When they refuse to, the feds have to step in. Should have been done last night.

Agreed however if innocent lives continue to be lost due to the local authorities not being efficient then bring in whatever needs to be done as these are not civil protest they are planned anarchy bullshite.

Because I think it's a bad place to be if the President takes the step of mobilizing military forces to act as law enforcement against citizens? That's would be a sad moment in US history. So absolutely, I hope it doesn't come to that. Locals need to get their shite together.

Defend your work.

The last thing we need is unleashed police forces. I have no clue what the answer is but people all over this country will start firing back at cops. Would take a generation to recover from it.

The people who are saying martial law have no idea what they are asking.

The insurrection act isn't near as bad, but still not something to roll out after one or two bad nights in individual cities.

Why? They elected their officials. These same officials haven’t asked for Federal help with their “protests”.

Elections have consequences.

Yeah, there's a reason we have police and the military separated.

The police are supposed to be public servants and protectors. The military is made for fighting foreign enemies.

If the military is brought in to police, they tend to treat the people as if they are foreign combatants.

Why would he do that? Things are winding down.

He isn't going to do shite and shouldn't do shite.
