Trump, Milo, & the War on Cops

Excerpt:

On February 1, rioting broke out in Berkeley to prevent a flamboyantly provocative Donald Trump supporter from speaking on the University of California campus. Black-masked anarchists beat and pepper-sprayed supposed attendees of the event and hurled explosive devices at police officers; the vandals ransacked and torched banks, retail businesses, and campus facilities. University and city police did nothing to quell the mayhem.

The Berkeley riot is a wakeup call, representing several converging trends in American culture: the virulent anti-cop hatred spread by the Black Lives Matter movement; police departments’ withdrawal from proactive policing in response to that hatred; academic victim culture; and anti-Trump hysteria. Such political violence is likely to spread if law enforcement does not resolve to suppress it at its first outbreak.

In 1838, speaking at the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois, Abraham Lincoln warned that “there is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.” When the perpetrators of such injustice go unpunished, Lincoln said, “the lawless in spirit are encouraged to become lawless in practice.” The nation’s police must show an unwavering determination to restore order when it collapses; intelligence officers, including the FBI, must pay particular attention to rooting out mask-wearing anarchists. California and other states have laws against wearing masks to facilitate the commission of crimes. Politically correct concerns about head scarfs should not inhibit a crackdown on this pernicious trend.

This isn't a second American civil war underway, it's a regional fascist insurrection.

The government is fomenting and allowing riots and at the same time pulling out its defense forces.

The media is doing its part, promoting a perception that this is the will of the American people.

At a certain point the President will need to acknowledge this is insurrection and mobilize the National Guards.

I believe it is a States Governor that has to mobilize the National Guard. So in Fascist Liberal States like California, they would be mobilized to protect the rioters instead of stop them. :rofl2:

Yes, but I believe the POTUS can do so in the case of insurrection.

And if the local mayors and governments will not protect the rights and property of the people from the insurrectionists, it may fall upon the POTUS to do so.
