I said "real protesters", not the thieves, arsonists and looters. They are criminals and opportunists taking advantage of the situation. They may claim otherwise, but most people are not naive enough to believe it. The only people rationalizing it are themselves and those who get off on it. Wanna-be rioters and thieves if you will.
Anyone who is against the rule of law and the enforcement of it are anarchist by definition.
This is your bed,

I agree.
But I guess it's up to you to decide what side you're on. For me, I am on the side of the civil unrest for the racial inequalities, and police brutality. But I am against the opportunists, and anarchists.

We just activated what essentially everybody on this forum has been claiming to be afraid of for their entire lives, but because its Trump everyone is gonna go right along with it.
If the protestors are not policing their own, and if the local govt wont, then big brother will be forced to.

But funny how preventing disease is tyranny and authoritarianism, but a crackdown by police and military suddenly on first amendment right to protest isn't authoritarianism, but seemingly deserved.
I'm not buying into the "racial inequality" argument in the US
There are far more white people killed by police in the US each year than blacks,
If the protestors are not policing their own, and if the local govt wont, then big brother will be forced to.

"...to stop the rioting and looting, to end the drstruction and arson and to protect the rights of law abiding American citizens, including your Second Amendment rights."
He is essentially saying, or reiterating once again, to use the National Guard to quell the rioters who are causing grave economic damage, especially after the economic hit from the Chinese plague, these people went overboard and literally destroyed the last vestiges of hard working American businesses.
I'm so f# disgusted.
President Trump says, if you won't do your job and protect your residents, I'll do it for you.
Good.
Trump is trying to whip the Govenors into action, does that mean he is deploying military forces?
NOPE.
He is waving the big stick on the incompetent Dem Gov.
240 blacks killed by police in the entire USA, 370 whites killed by police in 2019...
