No. They are taking this very slowly because it is a very serious issue. The military doesn't just start rushing into something like this.
I feel like I'm going crazy listening to people make calls for the MILITARY to get involved.
- awnird 6y agoThe military got involved in Ferguson lol.
- 0x1F8B 6y agoFerguson did not involve the transfer of power of the executive branch of the USA.
- TehCorwiz 6y agoSo it's acceptable to police people protesting police violence but not those who are preventing the operation of our government? Really? What the fuck are "...enemies foreign and domestic." If not people disruption our democratic processes?
- 0x1F8B 6y agoNo it's not acceptable. But let the police get the situation under control. Why bring in the military?
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoPerhaps so. How soon, though? Not in the first half hour...
- ezluckyfree 6y agoThe national guard was deployed at BLM protestors during Trumps bible photoshoot.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoThey were deployed during ferguston and portland.
- tgb 6y agoThis is a great example of gaslighting. The speaker of the house calls for national guard deployment while rioters are literally in the House chamber. Yet we're the crazy ones for suggesting that they get involved? This is what the National Guard does, it's not begging for a military coup.
- 0x1F8B 6y agoThe history of any military interceding in election issues is not a good one. There are police for this and this is incident is developing. Give it time before you call in the guns. I'm not gaslighting anyone -- I'm saying this needs to be handled delicately.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoThe history of violent mobs interceding in election issues is not a good one! If the incident is allowed to develop any further, we'll end up in a situation with competing claims of legitimacy and the military will have to intervene anyway.
- 0x1F8B 6y agoBy all accounts the people in power were committed to certifying the election. We've got no reason to think they have changed their minds on this. The police were underprepared and overwhelmed by protesters (terrorist, coupists, whatever), they also chose not to fire on these protesters, so this happened. Let the police get it under control, let the election get certified (whenever and where that happens), and then we can begin to sort this mess out. That process may yet involve the National Guard, but their role and objective should be crystal clear.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoWhy should we be confident that the police will be able to get it under control?
