This. Tom Cotton suggesting the 101st go in was fricking retarded. The "military" military is trained to kill in a combat zone. The NG is more adept at working in domestic situations.

VERY slippery slope when the public starts approving the use of the US military as law enforcement. There's a reason it's illegal and we should ensure it stays that way.

When the people of Kent, Ohio were asked about the shooting of students at the local college by Ohio National Guard troops, many approved of that use of force against unarmed protestors.

It is not illegal for the president to invoke the insurrection act and deploy federal troops to restore order and peace on domestic soil.

Just because you’re the loudest doesn’t mean that you’re the majority. Wish these idiots would realize that. Accept that you lost to trump in 2016 and accept the fact that no one wanted a communist to run for president in 2020. The silent majority will win again

Well, it's not illegal, but it's really bad news.

Yeah, the military and police have totally different missions. This is why militarization of police forces is horrible for our country.

This is the kinda mission national guard is tailor made for.

Apparently this poll is one that you can rely on as being accurate.

Good to know.

The people looting and destroying are not a majority or anywhere close. They can seem that way because it’s how news channels want to portray them.


Totally irrelevant what the percentage is, what is relevant is the magnitude and scale of destruction, which is vast.

What's sad is the black population doesn't give a crap about their lives when it is black on black murder.



While I agree that there is some some logical inconsistency here, I think we ought to also recognize that there are just some things of which we subjectively DO NOT want to become victims. For example, I'm way more comfortable with the idea of dying of heart disease, stroke, cancer, or car accident than I am with the idea of someone breaking into my home and killing me during a burglary. Arguments about how I am statistically far more likely to die of preventable illness or a car accident and thus worry too much about gun ownership just don't resonate strongly with me. I'm simply not as emotionally bothered by those things as I am about being a victim of crime. I can accept if someone has the opinion of "I really, really just don't want to be killed by the police," even if I think such such is incredibly unlikely or frivolous.
