I’m very interested in the ROE. I don’t know what soldiers can do if they can’t shoot people. But of course we don’t want Kent State 2.0. The networks would love to see that.

Here’s what should happen to these criminals

Some city
Broad deserted street
tall buildings on either side
one Humvee in middle of street
crowd of looters marching toward Humvee
Taunting calls, bricks at the ready
Loudhailer tell says halt or be fired on
more taunting calls bricks thrown
1000 rounds later ....

But the mil has both a stink and pain crowd dispersal weapons - one makes a smell that only the stinkiest of skunks would love; the other radiates causing your skin to feel like it is on fire. Snowflakes will complain, of course.

Neither causes harm

Then there is the old stand by: the water cannon
