You need to find and arrest the leaders

[ClearCase_guy]

The rioters are not winning the hearts and minds of the People. As this expands it gets worse and worse for the Left.

will not carry live ammunition in their rifles

Then why arm them with rifles?

[jimtorr]

I think the key words here are .....in their rifles.....

I think they would be carrying full magazines somewhere on their persons. Why else would the above phrase be used?

I think they would be carrying full magazines somewhere on their persons.

Yeah, you'd like to think that ... but is it true?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

RICO and cut off the funding.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

they do have the power to detain individuals temporarily until law enforcement can arrest them

On display in the streets of Lost Angeless are several levels of stupid.

If you are actively joining in the riots, you deserve punishment.

If you are a useful idiot, thinking you are joining the protest, you deserve whatever happens

If you are the third level of stupid, you just "went to check it out" and were gathered up by the local or Federal authorities.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

As paid riots spread across the US. The DOJ and FBI need to find out who is funding this pronto.

[C210N]

U.S. troops in Los Angeles to help manage protests are authorized to detain people...

As if I needed more evidence Trump has already signed the 1807 Insurrection Act, and that we are now under a COG, and have been for awhile.

Anybody recall the mass deputation of National Guard just prior to 1/20/2021? I believe the number was in the neighborhood of 25,000 troops deputized.

Or, when we were told a peaceful transition to military power by Major General William J. Walker, then the Commanding General of the D.C. National Guard, as the individual who made this statement on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Arm them with Louisville Sluggers and let them SWING FOR THE FENCE!!

Oops on two

[pierrem15]

Inching towards declaring an insurrection and imposing martial law.

As others noted, arrest the leaders including any NGO officials and use civil asset forfeiture to grab their money.

Don't worry. It's not loaded.

[NorthMountain]

If it ain’t loaded, that dude is going to get beaten up with his own rifle.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If it ain’t loaded, that dude is going to get beaten up with his own rifle.

So you're sticking around to find out if it's loaded?

[NorthMountain]

You clearly don’t understand riots.

I’m not surprised.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You clearly don’t understand how many of those “unloaded” guns will be loaded.

Hundreds of people are killed every year by “unloaded” guns.
