As an aside, most of us National Guardsman have a fair bit of experience in tense situations, having defused quite a number of them in far worse places than Ferguson, MO.

Holder doesn’t want tanks there? What about his involvement at Waco?

I have no doubt about that...I am just concerned this current administration will put some serious limits on your ability to do what you need to do...

Funny have not seen a single “ tank” in any of the coverage.

I did see one once as a kid .
An M 48 Patton parked at the corner of Madison and Western in Chicago with the main gun pointed down Madison during the 68 ML King riots....
Daley knew how to stop a riot....

I don’t think we can put that at Holder’s feet.

Oh, come on. Can we, please? He was probably alive then.

Seriously though, someone had written that they didn't know of a time when we had tanks on the streets and I wanted to point out a time I could think of. :)
