DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — As unrest spread across dozens of American cities on Friday, the Pentagon took the rare step of ordering the Army to put several active-duty U.S. military police units on the ready to deploy to Minneapolis, where the police killing of George Floyd sparked the widespread protests.
Soldiers from Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Drum in New York have been ordered to be ready to deploy within four hours if called, according to three people with direct knowledge of the orders. Soldiers in Fort Carson, in Colorado, and Fort Riley in Kansas have been told to be ready within 24 hours. The people did not want their names used because they were not authorized to discuss the preparations.
The get-ready orders were sent verbally on Friday, after President Donald Trump asked Defense Secretary Mark Esper for military options to help quell the unrest in Minneapolis after protests descended into looting and arson in some parts of the city.

Thank you for the explanation. But what can be done if the Cities won’t enforce their laws and protect the citizens and property?
....Trump needs to Federalize the National Guard ....
That is a big mistake and ruins our whole structure as being a federation of states
Unarmed soldiers ? Like in Afghanistan?
That is what elections are for.
Always ready.
Remember, that Kent State moment worked.
The riots stopped right after it.
Heh sushiman...pass the wasabi. Good progress on that wall with loads of obstructions from the left. And if you haven’t noticed he’s got very good cooperation from Mexico’s president and holding them back. What side of the fence is the question?
I noticed a tweet from Gretchen and she is saying how black people are under attack every day. Not true. I hate politicians.
So nothing until November.
State police, national guard... Are the MPD standing down?
Would you go into the midst of those savages (knowing you are a target) with no ammo? Seriously?
OK, BAYONETS ONLY!
B-2 can’t carry nearly that much ordinance.
The answer is contained in a book called “Constitutional Homeland Security.” In short, you form a militia and call it a neighborhood watch.
that’s the right attitude
Let them destroy the inner cities. Remove all police and let them have at it. Won’t be long before the thugs burn it all down and kill off each other. The fools are only destroying their home/neighborhood.
Better to retreat and circle the defenses to keep them out of the burbs. That’s where I’ll be ready to fight. Business can be done remotely, no need to elevator up 1000 feet.
Chuckle.
Do you even know anything about what actually happened in Kent State?
Were you even alive then?
10 USC 253.
Not to pile on, seriously, but I can’t agree with you there.
I’ll not send any of our troops into harms way without the
ability to defending themselves and others.
Why send them at all if those ferule animals can still do
whatever the hell they want with impunity?
Send them in. If people are stupid enough to F with them,
they they pay the full price of admission.
Firehoses might be just the thing.
