Are there innocents among the crowds smashing shop windows and dragging out what they can? Those are not the “good guys.” Didn’t you see that woman getting beaten with wooden boards as her husband pleaded with her attackers to stop? They understand only violence and a lenient attitude will only ensure that they do this again.

Terrorists kill innocent people, their not telling the Military to kill innocent people.
 
@Mikey  
Not if their careful. They can’t just ignore the rioters and looters and just let them kill people and ruin people’s livelihoods, they have to do something.

When the fuck did this place get invaded by the absolute dregs?  
Military shouldn’t shoot anyone with live rounds, by that point it’s just gonna turn into complete chaos. There’s so many people bound to get killed in the crossfire, there’s no “being careful” about it, bullets don’t care what they hit

Do you really think those airborne infantries he’s suggesting to use would just kill alleged terrorists without causing collateral damage to the homes and property of innocent people, or killing innocent people in their own homes? How about we not use infantry designed to kill crowds of people in other countries like Syria and Iran on our own fucking citizens???

You do realize that infantry are soldiers on the ground, not drone strikes? “Airborne” basically means paratroopers and they are rapid-response.

The GOP senator mentioned using 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry, and the 101st Airborne, though.

Yes. And now Trump is following suit by saying “Imma have the military shoot their own citizens!”
 
And of course he randomly mentioned the 2nd Amendment in that diatribe. No doubt to trigger the pavlovian response from his supporters, but that itself raises another issue. We now have the president telling the military to murder its own civilians. Where’s your 2nd Amendment Warriors now?
Background Pony #FE3C
@Dustcan  
Can you really describe thugs who are torching and looting their own society “citizens”? I would object to such drastic measures if these individuals would be prosecuted afterwards but we all know that won’t happen. Violence is justified when it is in response to violence. 2nd Amendment supporters feel the same way, that’s why many are willing to defend their homes and businesses from the looters.

The police have a monopoly of force in enforcing public security. They do this poorly quite often and in some occasions may even be resisted with justification, but they nonetheless offer a service and are preferable to no security. Again, if the police do not intervene then private individuals will, and they will have justification to forcefully act against looters in the police’s stead. The looters are the aggressors here and have to be gone before any changes can be made.

@Background Human  
The presidency is often idiotic but the military wouldn’t necessarily go into killdozer mode do to his tough talk. Still he will probably end up increasing tensions and the potential for violence. I think the military may honestly be needed in some areas but I’d rather leave it to the national guards for now as I don’t want a habit of the president usurping state’s on policing.
Background Pony #FE3C
@Dustcan  
Which is why municipal governments should be using the police to stop the rioters, and if they can’t do it then state governments should be using the national guards. The reason why the army is being proposed as a solution is precisely because the lower governments are not preserving the public peace when they’re supposed to. Federalism is a good system but the mayors and governors in charge appear to be totally divorced from public interest.
