The legal analysis is interesting. As the law is written, States have to request the military assistance. The president can't just force the military upon the states.



Ok, I'm not proud. But I know I'm not the only one who was hoping for a book depository moment today in front of the church today.

This lunatic is actually holding up a bible outside the church in DC. Just waving it around like it's evidence of something.

Police living up to their high standards:

Breaking: Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer just announced every single officers' body camera was NOT ACTIVATED during the shooting last night that resulted in DavidMcAtee’s death. Not one.

This one got the twitter restriction.

This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible

Hey, look at what I found in the bunker. They told me it belongs in this building, but it doesn't look like it's open right now.

Some fairly serious things are going on right now, violence, and people even losing their lives. Maybe save your stupid hot takes for something that isn't so important. You aren't clever, and this post made everyone cringe.

CNN reported that DC police took a knee with protestors just before the military police rolled through. Too bad they didn't get pictures.

At what point do people act violently on purpose because of Trump's idiotic speeches/tweets?

The guy is throwing gasoline into the fire. Like ####.

Wasn't that Philadelphia they were talking about? I might be mistaken though.

Oh maybe. I just assumed DC. Are there MP's in Philadelphia too?

Oh for sure. I agree with the protests, a guy was flat out murdered.
I don't agree with riots however. But nice job coming out of the wood work to deride an opinion which is the opposite side of the same coin you'll curiously silent about.
Almost like it was a whistle that you're upset about. Now try and figure out why.

I would rather see him dragged through the streets like Gaddafi was.
