Trump is right - Military should assist in riot control

[lennypartiv]

We spend a lot to train our troops, let's put that training to good use. If groups of people are causing trouble, using the military to keep the peace makes perfect sense. Other countries do it, we should be able to do the same thing here.

---Trump has taken a special interest in staffing the Pentagon, believing he was stymied by civilian and military leaders who resisted demands in his first term to withdraw troops deployed overseas and use the military to put down domestic unrest. Hegseth has long kept close ties to Trump, and the former president has continued praising him and watching Fox News even while criticizing the network as a whole.---

Nightsticks & blackjacks work well to quell riots!

 

[Rambunctious]

The one thing that should be an automatic job termination for a Governor... Mayor... Sherriff... Police Chief and DA is to allow a riot and massive vandalism to go on for days...
We have always used the National Guard to quell riots... after the Sylmar quake in the 70's the guard had orders to shoot to kill looters... and the looting stopped before it happened...

They damn sure stopped the DC riots.....Once they were finally called in by LBJ.

On Friday, April 5, President Johnson invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 and dispatched 11,850 federal troops along with 1,750 D.C. Army National Guardsmen to assist the overwhelmed D.C. police force.

Marines mounted machine guns on the steps of the Capitol and Army soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Regiment guarded the White House.

The 2nd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, North Carolina and 6th Cavalry Regiment from Fort Meade, Maryland were among the principal federal forces sent to the city.

In the 1992 Los Angeles riots, the following were activated and used:
California National Guard.
U.S. Army.
U.S. Marines.
It was whole scale chaos and the combination of military resources brought order to the carnage.

Most of the shooting victims at Kent State were innocent bystanders. The NG troops were lousy shots.
