You are paying attention to the rioting, and you know bloody well it is about his death. Without the rioting, you'd just see some dark plot against your fuhrer by the Pope or someone! :)

only an idiot thinks that looting a big screen tv from a Target store is about anyone's death...

The one white who was the first to break windows, more than an hour before anyone else, was a police officer, and had nothing to do with Antifa. There has been no one caught with anything to do with Antifa yet.

Trump has placed 4 active duty military police units on alert to help quell the growing riots. That seems to be mighty thin ice to me considering the posse comitatus act.

If we were running out of National Guard, I could understand trying to suspend the Posse Comitatus Act. We are nowhere near there.

But, I am not very concerned about this yet. trump likes to waste taxpayer money on his fantasies which he never executes. Remember his fantasy about suspending the Constitution and declaring martial law in Chicago. Nothing ever came of that other than some wasting of taxpayer money.

I am far more concern about trump's calls for genocide and mass rebellion. Some of his less stable supporters are going to kill people in acts of terrorism because of his calls for violence.

When I told you it isn't in the constitution but a law you got very quite on the subject.

It is a law under the Constitution. trump says he has the right to disregard the laws, because of his interpretation of the Constitution. That interpretation is no one else's.

"The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat", and calling for taking up arms against the states. trump is extremely irresponsible with his words in a way we have never seen a president be before... Though his actions would better be described as irresponsibly lazy. This still leaves open the danger, and even absolute certainty, that his less stable supporters will kill Americans.

There may be something in the act that we are unaware of. I would hope the president and SECDEF would know if it's legal.
 
After being hammered by Trump, China responds with: What about Minneapolis?

And across the Internet in China, commentators and ordinary people alike co-opted a phrase House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) used to describe the pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong last year, that the protests were “a beautiful sight to behold.” Posting photos of burning buildings and looters smashing up a Target store, the Central Committee of the Communist Young League asked: “A beautiful sight to behold?”

I just found this.

KEY EXCEPTIONS TO THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT
A summary of key exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act follows:3
• National Guard forces operating under the state authority of Title 32 (i.e., under state rather than federal service) are exempt from Posse Comitatus Act restrictions.
• Pursuant to the presidential power to quell domestic violence, federal troops are expressly exempt from the prohibitions of Posse Comitatus Act, and this exemption applies equally to active-duty military and federalized National Guard troops.4
• Aerial photographic and visual search and surveillance by military personnel were found not to violate the Posse Comitatus Act.
• Congress created a “drug exception” to the Posse Comitatus Act. Under recent legislation, the Congress authorized the Secretary of Defense to make available any military equipment and personnel necessary for operation of said equipment for law
