I just read about it. Weird I didn't hear about it earlier, but it seems like this is spreading all over.Protests in Houston may have turned into riots, as well. People are being warned to avoid downtown Houston tonight.
Cops showed, stuff is on fire and tear gas and shit now.
Robert Evans has been covering the protests in Portland where no violence has broken out (despite some attempted vehicular violence by passers by), unlike a lot of cities. WHAT'S THE CONNECTION?
There is precedent, however. The military was used per the Insurrection Act to help quell the 1992 LA riots.And the extreme right wing news is gleefully reporting that the Pentagon has ordered the Army to have military police ready to deploy in Michigan.
This is a test run for November. To see if the military will obey unlawful orders to act against American citizens.
True, there is precedent, but I don't really think that Dolt45 is going to show restraint and act according to the law. He's going to test the limits of his authority.There is precedent, however. The military was used per the Insurrection Act to help quell the 1992 LA riots.

Yeah, there are anarchist troublemakers who specifically go to these hot spots just to stir up shit. I remember many were identified during the G20 meeting in Toronto years ago, when I lived there.I thought it was common knowledge that there are "opportunists" who flock to riots, like IRL Internet trolls.
