These cities have been putting Democrats in office for 60 years. I don’t see that changing. Police and soldiers are two different things completely. Let’s see how people will react if one of those socialist Dems occupy the Oval Office and order troops to take the streets. Eventually one will sit in there. 

they ain't going to like it at all

People who are protesting or rioting are ALWAYS citizens,  if they were before, no matter their actions, and they should be treated according to what they do, as to criminal acts. Putting the military in these situations makes us China or Russia or Germany during WW II. 

Those that are looting and rioting are terrorists and they are attacking our nation.  Only Governors can give President Trump the authority to use the military, and I think it's an idle threat to hopefully get people to simmer down in how they protest.

I do not like seeing troops on American streets. I don’t care who the President is. Unshackle the police if that’s needed. Hell let property owners know they won’t be charged if defending themselves and their property. Isn’t that what the 2nd amendment is for? It’s also to defend against a tyrannical government. Well hell military on the streets is getting pretty damn close to tyrannical. I doubt my fellow conservative friends would be giddy if Obama ordered troops to cities. They’d be 💩ing themselves. So would I. I’m 💩ing myself now too though. Bad precedent. They’ll be a Democrat in office one day. Just opening the door for folks to say “ but Trump did it” and they’ll be right. 

It was done before in Western Pennsylvania in 1794 when George Washington personally lead 13,000 militia men to collect taxes from the 500 armed men that stormed the fortified home of tax inspector General John Neville, but when they learned he was coming they high tailed it, and only 20 men were arrested, but none found guilty.  There were other distillers in other states that also rebelled against the tax, but the military didn't get involved with those disputes.  What's strange is the public saw the way George Washington handled it without resorting to tyranny. Yet some are calling the mere mention of it today tyrannical, even though I think it would just be their presence to quell the rioting and looting in some cities.  

I still can not fathom why the media think that rioting and looting is a peaceful protest, and a right of the people under the 1st Amendment.  When they are doing those things as well as killing police officers it is not peaceful.  As I stated, I think it's just an idle threat, and he doesn't intend to do it, unless cities begin to be burned down.

I don’t think the rioting and looting are protected under the 1st Amendment. Nice history lesson. Am I the only one that thinks it odd that Washington lead 13k men to collect a tax just a mere 2 decades after revolting against the British over a tax? Anyone else see the irony in that?

    What's ironic is the tax was less than what they were paying to the crown, but they thought since they fought the Revolutionary War there wouldn't be any taxes.  I haven't seen Doomer on here in a long while.  It makes me wonder if the revenuers got him or he's somewhere swimming with the fishes in the Sabine.

Still that’s a massive response for non payment of taxes after you just got through revolting over someone else’s tax. Blow their mind if they knew the taxes and debts we have. 2 centuries isn’t very long in the spectrum of history. 

Read about the Whiskey Rebellion, but these protests aren't about taxes.  I was simply presenting some history of our nation when military force was used to quell the the temperament of people. It was simply a threat, and that was all it was, and I think that President Trump is trying to do that as well.  He understands that Americans are hurting, but we don't need chaos in our country.  We live in a different day and age than President Washington did.  It does somewhat blow my mind how much taxes we pay today vs. the 1% tax rate that they were paying to the crown back in the day.  https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/what-we-get-wrong-about-taxes-american-revolution  .

Probably most idiotic post you ever made well done.

As per good conversation, I would try to also give you such a compliment, but much like your hero Trump, I think you would top yourself with something even more incoherent and stupider in the next post, but thanks, anyway! 🤔

And I bet ya there ain't no way in hell all those people are citizens; not of the USA anyway. Give me a break. 

You miss THIS part in your rage????   if they were before

American citizens should not be fired upon by our military for protesting. Law enforcement should take a measured and appropriate approach when enforcing the law. That should be enough.

I agree.  They should first ask them nicely....then say pretty please.  Then take appropriate steps to quell the lawlessness.  Nobody has been fired upon for just protesting

I don’t like big federal government. It doesn’t get much bigger than active military being deployed on citizens. Just a different opinion. I love the military. I don’t trust big government is all. I don’t care which party is in charge. 

If military action is required, it should primarily be the states calling in the National Guard, ideally by governors ... when a state governor refuses to accept responsibility and take action, or is incompetent, I believe possibly a council of governors in coordination with the President could form a multi-state national guard force to step in .... in extreme situations involving organized large scale rioting and killings this council could ask for active duty military assistance through the POTUS ... this would only be for extreme situations  ...

I do believe our active duty military should be permanently deployed and positioned to defend our sovereign borders against foreign drug traffickers and illegal border crossings ... our current border patrol is sadly undermanned, out gunned and totally insufficient to handle the job ...

Rage?  Quit projecting.  That don't work on this old Dawg.  You're on here literally EVERYDAY raging against the greatest President of my lifetime.  As to the rest of your rambling nonsense,  meh.  "If they were before American citizens should not be fired upon by our military for protesting."  First,  that statement in whole makes no sense.  2nd,  nobody is being fired upon for simply "protesting."  Again,  Give Me A Break.

You didn't see the video of the officers marching down the street yelling and shooting at residents on their balcony?

They're too busy defending everybody else's borders.  What's the purpose for a military,  if not for protecting it's citizens from foreign invasion?  Sadly,  our corrupt leaders in DC have failed us miserably.

And what might have happened  BEFORE that that you didn't see?  Quit being so easily triggered by a media that means to create news instead of report it.  You're better and smarter than that.  I don't know you but I can tell.  Don't be a useful idiot.  Free your mind. ✌🏻

 I heard a good argument on why we should use the military today.  It  was made by a well know Houston liberal, and that being that the military would not hide behind the Blue Code of Silence.  If they did anything inappropriate they would be judged by a military court.   I don't think it will happen however.  People need to take suggestions out there like a grain of salt by President Trump.  He fishes for solutions, and see if anything bites.
