Donald Trump has put the Army on notice to be deployed to US streets for the first time since the 1992 LA riots as Minneapolis erupted for the fourth night and violent protests intensified over the killing of George Floyd. A 19-year-old protester was shot dead in Detroit last night, while soldiers in North Carolina and in New York have been ordered to be ready to move in within four hours and troops in Colorado and Kansas within 24 hours. Police said the man was killed after shots were fired at a crowd of people near Detroit's Greektown entertainment district last night with dozens of protesters out on the streets, but officers were not involved in the shooting.

He did it himself, with his ill-advised Tweet, threatening to shoot looters.

That's sarcasm, right? Help me out here...

[snarkytart]

Don’t ever say can’t when it comes to them don’t ever say can’t they cheat like h***.

[moovova]

“I’m surprised people can’t see the outcome of this once the president sends in federal troops.”

If Trump sends in the troops, folks that were gonna vote for him will still vote for him this November.

Folks in the affected areas, that previously weren’t going to vote for him...may just change their minds when he puts a stop to this silliness on their towns and neighborhoods.

A 19-year-old protester was shot dead in Detroit last night,

If you don’t want to get hurt (dead), don’t join a riot.

If you bring your riot to my town be prepared to die.

Folks in my town have fire arms and this homey don’t play dat!

The rioters are termed “protestors” and with a background of burning buildings, torched cars, and general bedlam,

The media calling them protesters is the problem.

They are looters, rioters and worse. Call them what they are for 24 hours and watch the public's perception change.

Then send in the military and shut this shit down. That's what needs to happen.

“ Why? This just makes targets. They can’t even fight in a war zone. ”

If I tell you exactly how I feel about that ridiculous comment I would surely be banned.

[combat_boots]

Looters were shot when I was a kid. NG lined the streets on both sides and meant business.

[apillar]

Personally I think President Trump's strong “Law and Order” stance is exactly the right course politically. Although the middle class “soccer moms” might get on Facebook and talk about how they support “black lives matter” so their liberal friends think they are compassionate and progressive. In reality most of them are terrified that the looting and violence could move into their suburban neighborhoods and want to see the rioting put down as fast as possible.

[jdsteel]

The Marxists play the race riot card. The response is the law and order card from conservatives. Which of those two cards works better in an election? The latter.

[usconservative]

Same here. I remember that.

[elpadre]

The demonstrations ended the first night. Every night since they have been riots, not because of George Floyd, but rather Floyd gave the insurrection forces a reason to go to the streets. This what anarchy looks like.

[PghBaldy]

No. It was a stupid Tweet.

[jagusafr]

If activated by federal orders, they will be under title 10 control, which means federal, not state. If activated by the governor, they are under his command and control.

[Spacetrucker]

So did I, once. Lost the skin on my hand for my troubles - most pain I had ever experienced in my life.

[farming pharmer]

No. It was a stupid Tweet.

Sorry I had to ask. I really have sarcasm realization insufficiency!

Thank You again for REAL Information. Petunia says Stay Safe and Take Care of Yourself and Yours.

I assume your comment is facetious. But for anyone just tuning in:

Multiple violent riots happening in cities all over the country two or three days after Trump
1) begins enacting steps to curtail social media violating free speech and censoring conservative talk, a key factor our enemies need to win the next election
2) Trump showing support for HK
3) Trump removing Chinese companies from US financial markets
4) Trump withdrawing from WHO and cracks beginning to be apparent in the CCP virus overreaction, people waking up and angry with Dem mayors and governors who may have needlessly destroyed jobs and livelihoods.

The killing in Minneapolis was horrible but this coordinated series of violent riots by Antifa paid protestors all over the country and at the gates of the Whitehouse is certainly not just a coincidence.

[VanDeKoik]

I assume your comment is facetious.”

Well it isnt.

Any idiot can have two news stories happening at the same time and then just proclaim one happened BECAUSE of the other. That’s just lazy and dumb.

Like what are these riots going to do to reverse any of those things? Answer: Nothing.

Then send in the military and shut this shit down.
My mother was a newspaper reporter in Washington, DC during a race riot in the 1920s. She was sheltered in a police station; the police chief stood on the front steps with a revolver in each hand and told the crowd he would shoot anyone who put his foot on the steps. She said the sweetest sound she ever heard was the galloping hoofbeats of the cavalry from Fort Myer. They used the backs of their sabers to disperse the crowd.
