“....NG could also be called in to suppress any rioting, unlike in Kenya...”
I remember the non-response during the Rodney King LA riots. I won’t hold my breath hoping for a stronger response this time.
Having said that, I say, let them burn their neighborhoods and live in the ashes.
No money from me or you to rebuild.
There is a big difference, the non response was because of fear by the LAPD over the aquitial of the cops in the Rodney King beating trial. This time, in a post-9/11 world violence of that nature will not be tolerated. Plus police swat teams are trained like more in the military style. Plus there is the NG backup factor.
