Or something like that. The Q-Anon conspiracy (or Trump Administration Policy to give it it's official title) has gotten so convoluted it's hard to keep up.

He can send in Federal troops under the Insurrection Act but that's a losing policy. He owns the carnage that occurs then. Right now, the Democrats own the riots. Why would someone take that responsibility from them?

Irishman80 wrote: » You might have missed it. It's the Democrat supported BLM thay are burning down businesses in Democrat run cities in Democrat run States with the Democrat leaders refusing Trump's offer of National Guard troops. Trump simply has to sit back and hope for more riots - and the more in Swing States the better. That might be a cold view of the situation but that's what's happening.

Great job last night at the White House by the U.S. @SecretService. They were not only totally professional, but very cool. I was inside, watched every move, and couldn’t have felt more safe. They let the “protesters” scream & rant as much as they wanted, but whenever someone.... ....got too frisky or out of line, they would quickly come down on them, hard - didn’t know what hit them. The front line was replaced with fresh agents, like magic. Big crowd, professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence. If they had they would.... ....have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen. That’s when people would have been really badly hurt, at least. Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action. “We put the young ones on the front line, sir, they love it, and.... ....good practice.” As you saw last night, they were very cool & very professional. Never let it get out of hand. Thank you! On the bad side, the D.C. Mayor, @MurielBowser, who is always looking for money & help, wouldn’t let the D.C. Police get involved. “Not their job.” Nice!

Penn wrote: » The BLM protests aren't limited to specific cities due to Dem mayors or governors, it's about systemic mistreatment of a race throughout the country and a lack of support from the people who can enact real changes throughout the country to help fix these issues. The President pressures governors and mayors by threatening to withhold federal funds when they don't support him or enact his policies. He doesn't pressure them to try help the black communities in this fight. BLM have a constitutional right to peaceful protest. Trump sends in unidentified federal agent groups to arrest them. Trump could have easily shown some semblence of support and a promise to start trying to see what changes could be implemented to reduce excessive police brutality or targeting of specific groups. So what did Trump say? He also referred to the painting of 'Black Lives Matter' outside Trump Tower in NYC as "a symbol of hate". To say Trump bears no responsibilities for the size and scale of protests is nonsense.
Irishman80 wrote: » Yes, shooting someone in the back 7 times is clearly not reasonable force. But that doesn't mean I'm going to blanket blame all the police in the US. It's a country with 400 million legal guns, 10's of millions of illegal guns, gun sales of over 20 million already in 2020. The police have a thankless job.I can't understand why anyone would want to be a police officer over there.
