I remember after about 3-4 days of the Rodney King riots Bush sent in “Federal Marshals.”
You forgot the dumpster fire called Maryland.
We are deep deep blue with a total complete rino governor.
Even in my reddish county, the elected employees are afraid to cross the governor and dole out more freedom crumbs than the governor allows.
They promised that the National Guard would be on the streets of Mpls by 5 pm yesterday. Now we hear it will only be 500 of them, and they still aren’t here. My bet is that Walz has ordered them to not actually do anything to prevent or stop the rioting, looting and burning, just stand around and watch.
.... dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I wont let that happen.

What honor? A Freeper has posted that Floyd served time for armed robbery, among other offenses. They are pretending that he was another Martin Luther King.
I wonder if they used the Target transgendered bathrooms?

Minnesota has been the most liberal state in the Midwest for a long time. This is the home state of Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Walter Mondale, and Orville Freeman. Even the Republicans elected on a statewide basis have been RINOs, like Harold Stassen and Norm Coleman. Perhaps these riots will result in the state going to Trump in November. He lost Minnesota by only 40,000 votes in 2016.
Perhaps, unless the suburban women like riots and mobs of thugs roaming the streets.
Perhaps Minneapolis needs to be taken over by a military governor-general through the end of the year. Just long enough to stop the rioting and guarantee ballot security. :)
What you say is true. But George Wallace was defying a federal court order to desegregate Alabama schools. President Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard to forestall Wallace’s use of them to defy the federal court order to desegregate.
The issue in Alabama was not about insurrection or domestic violence. It was to ensure a republican form of government, with the guarantees of 14th amendment rights and privileges for all Alabama citizens.
Trump should be doing same, now, tonight. We cannot be letting our cities burn.

Our cities? Excuse me?
Not my dog. Not my pony. Not my circus.
Exactly. The looting AND the shooting already started. The rioters were firing shots in three cities. They are coming for the suburbs next.
No, wait a minute...

Stores have been looted, one looter has already been shot and killed. Multiple fires and what do I see just now on NBC NEWs?
"Biden, Democrats accuse Trump of inciting violence."
Kentucky. For presidential elections this is a very Republican state, but we are saddled with a Democratic governor who is a control freak.
So, you are fine with our nations cities burning? Maybe Minneapolis today and your town tomorrow. Maybe even your business or employer, your home. But, okay, turn the other cheek I guess.
