“It’s a mistake to deploy active duty troops inside CONUS. Something will happen, and it will absolutely be pinned on the president.”
In other words, it is better to bring down death and destruction on innocent people for fear of adverse political optics.
How does that differ from Antifa or BLM?
The Left needs to own their failed progressive policies, such as immediate no-bail release for looters and arsonists.
Sending the active-duty military to quell these riots gives the Left an out.
If the active-duty military can’t “fix” these failed cities (AND IT CAN’T!), then the blame for all subsequent crises will fall on TRUMP.
Let the Left own their failed cities. See meme above.
The Democrat pols in the cities that were burning made this mess, and they have to clean it up themselves.
And, as it happens, it appears that the local police and national guard were up to the task of putting this fire out, for the moment.
Today, in Los Angeles, the city council and mayor have proposed a significant cut to the LAPD budget, with the money directed at “community building”. The resolution has been posted here at FR, you can read it yourself.
Sending in the Army is pointless if the city is determined to let itself be destroyed. And the same coalition of liberal idiots who voted those people in need to either suffer the consequences, or see the light.
