On a side note, I'm sure that there brothers, cousins, neighbors, BFFs just happened to be where they were. Sure. Pure luck. Can't imagine how that happened. What a coincidence.
Trump orders were very effective that explains the noise.
“Black members of the D.C. Guard objected to turning on their neighbors.”
So where are the courts martial?
BS.
The NYT is nothing more than a yellow rag which has lost all respect. (not that it has much with me to begin with - but it doesn’t even have the pretense now)
I believe the military does After Action Reviews (AARs) on Funeral Details, change of command ceremonies and just about everything.
An AAR for this is to be expected.
Source the NYT. Nuff said.
This is why you should not use local National Guard units for stuff like this.
They might wind up scuffling with neighbors or relatives.
Protect and defend against enemies, foreign and domestic. So says The Oath. If that means your neighbor, your pew-siytting neighbor, or the parents of your child’s sweetheart, or your family!!
Did you include 100% lies when you wrote this, or just enough to cancel out any non-lies?
The really frustrating thing about the whole DC fight is that I have not seen any reports of anybody being actually hurt. Just a bunch of my white liberal friends complaining about getting smoke in their eyes, which they insist was “tear gas” while saying they were “lucky” they didn’t have a reaction to it.
And of course, outrage about being pushed a block away from the white house 30 minutes before the protests end, and outrage that after some of them threw bottles at the police who were “pushing them out before curfew”, that the police had the audacity to “tear gas” them (which was smoke grenades and some pepper balls).
If it comes from the NYT it’s a lie, simple as that.
Asaaand...it was over in 3 days. Between 27 May and 30 May, “ whatever actions” Trump took calmed things down, Antifa disappeared from DC streets, organized looting and burning stopped, our national monuments were not defaced, the WH was not stormed, and the huge crowds.....became peaceful protests
( and boy are there some interesting reports)
The journalists basically asking for mutiny and and overthrow of the prez.
This is worth a bump to compare with NG responses concerning Jan 6, 2021.
