Im not sure, regardless of his orangeness's wishes, that the military would be able to deploy anywhere except for that area around the white house.
Requests would have to come from Governors, which has never happened except for specific areas and usually around a natural disaster. The King riots was another one but that is pretty self explanatory.
Yesterday was a whole lot of bluster and tough talk that he really has no way of implementing.
Though i suppose he could get some Gov.'s like Haley on board, but even at that, it would only be a few states.
Im really not sure what the answer is but the looting and fires have to stop. They are really only hurting the most vulnerable in many instances.
The violence either way has to stop from both sides as well.
Police have to get a grip on their own, no question. Clearly we are starting to see at least the smallest shift that way from leadership in some areas. It may be but a small step in a marathon journey, but it all starts somewhere.
The criminals who are shooting at and running over cops for no reason other than they are wearing a uniform...has to stop. Those under those uniforms are mothers and fathers and sons and daughters just like all those who have been brutalized by the bad cops are. Same with the NG who are citizens of the very state they have been called to service in.
My worry is that niether moves quick enough to satisfy the other.....the guns come out...and we see just how dark it gets. In fact I think we are there now or will be in the next couple days.
Its all very sad but this is how revolutions often begin, and i dont think its a stretch to suggest that is where this is all headed one way or another. Im just not sure anyone will be satisfied on the other side of it though.
