This could get extremely ugly, more-so than it is now. The police are standing down in most areas and the rioters are taking advantage. There has to be a show of force from somewhere and arresting the three remaining officers won't quiet this.

Military can’t be brought in.

OTOH, the Guard can be nationalized and told they WILL be keeping the peace rather than this dog and pony show bullshite in Minny where they don’t appear to have live ammo.

So the Guard steps aside too. They don’t want a bunch of Kent State scenarios. But I’m with ya. Something needs to stop the flood.

Sequels are almost always more lame than the original even when they have a bigger budget like ANTIFA does this go 'round.

Democratic run cities are telling the police to stand down and praying Trump brings in the military. Just imagine the headlines!

Trump orders military to attack peaceful black folks!

Yeah, but Ferguson was in a small area, basically a few blocks, if I member correctly. This is all over the nation and it wouldn't shock me if more riots happen in more cities and communities.

Ferguson wasn’t the only city with riots. It was only today’s Minneapolis. It kicked off antifa riots all over the country where innocent civilians were attacked in the streets and beaten.

Maybe we should get the Iraq army to occupy some of our worst cities. They owe us.

Posse comitatus law.

Basically, post-reconstruction the military isn’t supposed to be operating on US soil in a law and order capacity.

There are exceptions involved.

If an insurrection is declared (ex - LA riots in 1992), the military can be deployed. Most other military uses are in a support role.

It will be interesting to see how the US government reacts if these protest extend past the weekend. I think they will. I hope I'm wrong.
