Guard Sent into Chicago, Detroit, Boston

While the left is attacking President Trump on talks of sending federal troops to out of control cities ..

Missing from their outrage is an inconvenient history!

The deployment of regular army troops to Chicago, (and others) to control civil disorder by Democrat President Johnson!

Army Troops in Capital as Negroes Riot

We all know the word the New York Times' headline writer wanted to use.

[Grampa Dave]

The deployment of regular army troops to Chicago, (and others) to control civil disorder by Democrat President Johnson!

Of course the Chicago Police under Mayor Daily handled the situation, their way!

"Summer of 2020—Let’s do it again, Democrat, Mayors and Governors!"

Not much has changed with the 12%, I see.

Army Troops in Capital as Negroes Riot

The headline proves that The New York Times has always been racist. They must be shut down.

roving bands of Negro youths.

Were they allowed to say that? But now you be racisss if you ID their species.

[Political Junkie Too]

They will say that the District is not a state, and since it is federally controlled (at least in 1968), it was normal for troops to be there to stop the riot.

Everybody knows its OK for the Rat Party to sic armed soliders on roving bands of Negro youths.

Raciss for evil Republicans think about it or post on social media even the suggestion.

President Johnson ordered 4,000 regular Army and National Guard troops into the nation's capital tonight to try to end riotous looting, burglarizing and burning by roving bands of Negro youths.

All it takes is COJONIES...a condition sadly lacking in today’s politicians and so-called leaders.

Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, April 5 -- President Johnson ordered 4,000 regular Army and National Guard troops into the nation's capital tonight to try to end riotous looting, burglarizing and burning by roving bands of Negro youths.

Now there's a sentence you'd never see in the NYT today!

My mother, a newspaper reporter during the 1920s, was in a besieged police station in Washington, D.C., when the cavalry from Fort Meyer dispersed race rioters using the backs of their sabers.
