If things continue to escalate, it is almost certainly not a bluff. The Insurrection Act of 1807 gives the president the authority to use the military in these exact circumstances. Riots in 1967 in Detroit, after the King assassination in 1968 and again in Los Angeles in 1992 all had federal troops in the streets.
I dunno, NY is downwind...
It would be like a Benny Hill episode![]()
They are busy trying not to be beat by cops...
The CNN reporters have not been bad. The desk jockeys are worthless or worse.
I loved how cnn guy noted how nypd lawyers are standing with the cops telling them what they can do
Yeah that was odd.
If you are breaking the law, and are arrested, you cede certain things, and information on ties to extremist organizations, whether it be White Nationalists or Antifa*, is one of those things.
*there is anti-fascist, and then there is Antifa. Much like there is conservative, and then there is MAGA.
MPs or actual armed forces, without Congress approval? (I'm really asking)
I thought the guy standing among the burning cars was excusing the police behavior a little too much. I mean he was bringing up that those nasty protesters were using foul language! Oh MY STARS!
Frankly I thought the behavior of the police in those scenes was indefensible and a whole bunch of cops were lucky they didn't ignite violence of unimaginable proportions. The crowd of protesters showed remarkable restraint and that it looks like the damage was focused only on police vehicles is almost a miracle.
Neither you nor anyone else in this country has broken the law until convicted. Officer Chauvin may disagree.
Well, Grover is nuts. He needs the banhammer. And no worries on the saying of anything. I honor Jup's rules, and only post the facts I hear without opinion on stuff like this.
And DGF: The Posse Comitatus Act outlaws the willful use of any part of the Army or Air Force to execute the law unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress.
Philly about to burn...and the world cheers![]()
MSNBC guest points out that every extremist murder over the last year has been right wing. The Antifa canard is just a GOP deflection from the white nationalists who support them. Those are the terrorists, and cop violence is just an extension of right wing violence into the law enforcement realm.
Sounds like a job for the Space Force.
Did the Eagles win a Madden tournament?
