So the OP drops this feces bomb and hides? I would love to hear his solution to all this. At first I was on the "just let the lefty cities burn" side but after a little more thought I'm torn. After all we as taxpayer are going to pay for all this one way or another.
Yeah, I guess we’ll see if this improves or gets worse. I expect deploying army guys to detain citizens doesn’t bode well.
For the sake of brevity I will not quote that.
The answer is when they are asked to do so by the State in question.
It is a really really bad precedent to be setting. When Biden or the next wacko lefty bird puts them on us, remember this.
Hell ****ing no.
They never learn, that's why they're on that side of the isle. Once the mind virus has infected them, no matter how many times they see their policies result in total devastation they will think that they just need another try.
If you let them into your communities, your communities will look exactly like the communities they fled from.
Don't be fooled by them playing lip service that they had a change of heart either, the second they enter the polling booth, they beg for the same policies to come to your neighborhood.
There may be very rare exceptions, but they are almost unheard of.
Eh. Maybe if it bothers you turn the channel?
I guess you need to be more specific about what you’re reacting to. If it’s to what happened in Portland, they were there to protect federal property. I don’t see a problem with that. If they’re there to stop people from protesting that’s clearly a problem to worry about but I don’t see any indication of that happening. If you’re talking about sending federal agents to cities to work with state and local law enforcement, notwithstanding the fact that it’s unsolicited, it’s not to work independently of the state and local police. I suspect that many of these city officials not wanting the help actually want it, but don’t want to say it publicly. And of course the press is going to spin this as Trump fascism.
ANTIFA = Anarchist/Socialist
BLM = Socialism/Separatism/Reparations
This is not Waco, Ruby Ridge or Wounded Knee the Federal government is protecting Federal Property. The time for petty ideological stands is drawing to a close. Getting the vapors over witnessing Federal forces in a semi Communist state won’t do any good. The fight between good and evil is afoot as always.
The precedent has been set long before now. The Little Rock riots of 1954 are just one example. Do you really think the lack of a precedent would ever stop a wacko lefty? Even if the lack of a precedent were a possible impediment, the media would just invent the "precedent" or whatever cover they needed.
Many of them never learn because they never have to face the full consequences of their actions, they are either protected from those consequences by pandering politicians or they have the means to insulate themselves from those consequences. The ones that truly are incapable of learning are those that recognize the consequences, flee, and then have the hubris to promote the same damn stuff that destroyed the place they left while thinking it could never happen again.
[This. It seems quite congruent that socialism and liberalism always believe last time wasn't true socialism or liberalism and they'll surely get it right next time]
I think you're on to something here at least in some cases.. Listening to the Chicago Mayor, I got the impression that she was secretly glad for the help but had to go through the OMB motions.

Words matter. Federal agents aren't federal special forces. I think the OP is a little provocative.
Yes. If rioters damage federal property the feds are authorized to use force to protect the property.
I'm not sure if 100% on on board with this next part: if the local/state government refuses to protect citizens and their property against rioters, the federal government has a duty to protect citizens from damage. Of course this principle can be abused, if words become deemed hateful violence. So I'm not sure I'm all for that just yet.
"Mostly Peacefull [except for those brief moments where they set fires and shot people] protests"

warzone? Cities burning? Really? My sister lives in Portland and hasn’t reported that...

How many people have died as a result of the protests? Like legitimately protesters killing people? I think I heard of a few shootings, not many if any deaths but I’m not following it religiously.
Are local governments being overrun? Is the national guard overwhelmed? The states haven’t asked for help for the reasons I mentioned above.
Curious, have you been threatened or has your home damaged?
I worked downtown before Covid. I’m Remote now. Our tower was damaged that one weekend, but I haven’t heard of any more destruction in Indianapolis since chargers were made against the officer in the Floyd incident.
It seems unnecessary and moving towards totalitarian in my opinion.
