"What's going to stop this from escalating?"

"I hope it doesn't come to that. We have a finite resource of officers."

we don't need the national guard.

I am old enough and should be mature enough to where I realize this level of stupidity is inescapable, and on no level is this helping dims on the national stage.

But I still am having a hard time at staving off the thought of taking a whiffleball bat up the side of his head (I nonviolent, moistley).

This the most pig headed local government I have ever seen. They could get help from national guard, other local governments, other states. Everyone wants to help them.

This Chief is as dumb as Wheeler.

At what point does Trump just send in the fricking military?

In all fairness our culture and citizens make LaToya look better than the shitbird she is. She would look similar in this same situation

If resources are so limited, why not call out the Guard or accept federal help?

We all know the answer but I want to hear this little shitsucker try to explain it.

I think the chief is making it clear they don’t have the resources. I think he wants to desperately say we need the national guard, but is getting blocked by wheeler and the governor.

The one bit of slack I will cut is that other PDs quit helping them out because of the DA dropping charges on a ton of the rioters.
