As marines descend on LA, as Trump moves closer and closer to martial law, it will be tempting to victim-blame. To equivocate. To find some reason the protesters deserve what’s coming. They don’t.

thenation.comWhat I Saw in LA Wasn’t an Insurrection. It Was a Police Riot.As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

Trump was quick to send troops to California, but do you think he would’ve picked up the phone on January 6?

Good article. Tells me the facts. Turns out, Trump was not responding to violent protestors. The protestors were responding to violence by the military.

This shows ghe LAPD training. Police chief should probably train police on proper procedure.

This is proper procedure for pigs. They are doing exactly what their bosses want them to do

LAPD has been one of the most violent police forces in the country for decades. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I'm the author of the piece: veteran, went to Afghanistan twice. I'm not for this, for whatever that's worth. A lot of my friends aren't either, and we're about to find out how active duty feels very soon I suspect

Thanks - "Temporary Duty" expenses. Looks like lodging $191 and meals $86, so $277. If there are 3,000 individuals involved then that is $828K per day to stand around and pose behind the CA police. www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-...
