That would be an illegal, unconstitutional order for multiple reasons. Posse Comitatus, Ex parte Milligan, 5th/6/8th Amendments; take your pick. Per the UCMJ, members of the military would be required under law to refuse such an order.

Thankfully, President Trump would never do that. Arrest looters, rioters, and those doing violence, sure. Put them on trial. Put them in prison. But summary execution by the military? What is this, North Korea?

not really

if trump can activate and send in troops to other cities, national guard when locals cant/wont deal with violence and riots, he can do it here

i get tge posse comitatus, but this also is not a proactive, offensive action, its a response/reaction/defensive measure

he’s not voerthrowing civillian govt with the military he is usign themilitary to defend agains tritoers and active shooters, and self-acowed marxist communists committing violence, ie domestic terrorism

hes notbunking them in civilian houses or shiite like that

cmon you know thats what p.c. is meant to protect against
