No, those are only KKK members. Real Americans are cheering on the rioting and setting fires themselves. Or at least giving money to bail out anyone who gets caught beating women in the street.

TV said so.

If the military is called in I hope they give them baseball bats for quelling the riots.
Now let me explain, before anyone goes off half-cocked.

If they are sent in they will probably carry their rifles. Empty Rifles
No one will have a bullet. No way in hell they give a 22 year old or younger man a bullet to use against Americans.
But the idiot rioters don't know that and may shoot them thinking they are armed.
The rifles make piss poor objects to use if trouble starts. too hard to swing.
Give them baseball bats.

So......how can most Americans want Trump to stop the rioting, yet most Americans are also voting for Joe Biden?

If they're voting for Joe Biden, why should Trump GAF what they think?

The US Military - Invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act

Generally Speaking The Army, Probably the Marines as well


How Is the National Guard Different from the U.S. Army?

The National Guard serves a dual role in the U.S. military by serving the community and its country. Most of the time, it's under the control of individual states, with the state governor acting as commander in chief. When this occurs, guard units are used to supplement the U.S. Army, bolstering its forces with additional combat units. The Guard responds to domestic emergencies, overseas combat missions, counterdrug efforts, reconstruction missions and more. However, the president can activate the National Guard and place it under federal control.

Soldiers in the National Guard train one weekend each month, with one two-week training period each year. They're typically called into action by a state governor, who can send them to the site of any officially declared emergency in the state. This is usually a weather-related emergency, but civil unrest or terrorist attacks are other emergencies they may respond to.

Would the force of the National Guard be restricted as to what they can or cannot do or are they merely a show of force meant to intimidate?

A show of force working with the Police .... NG is not usually issued Ammo - lest there be another Kent State


Personally I thought we used to shoot looters :sshrug:

But strictly National Guard? I would be intimated by that, but if the NG really can't do anything under Posse Comitatus would the people causing the trouble be intimated by that? Is there a different set of engagement rules under Insurrection?

The NG is NOT prohibited by PC .....


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. It was passed as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and was updated in 1956 and 1981.

The act specifically applies only to the United States Army and, as amended in 1956, the United States Air Force. Although the act does not explicitly mention the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy has prescribed regulations that are generally construed to give the act force with respect to those services as well. The act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor. The United States Coast Guard (under the Department of Homeland Security) and United States Space Force (under the Department of the Air Force) are not covered by the Posse Comitatus Act either, primarily because although both are armed services, they also have maritime and space law enforcement missions respectively.
