Why don't they just use an LRAD?
Hell, if most heard a few gun shots (you could literally fire blanks into the air) they'd probably assume it was a mass shooter and disperse quickly.
They should fall back and then call in an Air National Guard A-10 with a 10k HD camera above the cannon streamed live to every channel.
 
"deportations are now the moderate option"
I love this so much. Especially the implications.
They will be escorted to the police station and then released with no charges.
FEDS are involved, federal charges are very real thing, and we could see people AT LEAST locked away for 4 years due to this
Yes Trump. Become the Lincon you were always meant to be! Grind the traitors into dust!
this is even funnier if you know history. good reference =)
 
This is the first time since 1965 the president has utilized the national guard without a request from the governor

Apparently they haven't been invoked enough from then up until now. That's why the country is so fucked and lawless and has been for ages. Let a problem fester and the problem bomb explodes everywhere. Trump is the first President to come along in most of our lifetimes who's actually willing to crack a few eggs to make an omelet and good on him.
 
Lenin only got anywhere because the Russian Empire itself fell apart. There is a good chance he'd be just as ineffectual as the lot in modern Los Angeles are.
without WW1 the communists probably never come to power. WW1 was the flashpoint for many of the awful things happening today, actually.

Newsom has formally asked for the return of national guard troops to his control and called the deployment unlawful, this is unironically the closest we have been to state bucking the federal governments power since the nullification crisis

Personal sources telling me the national guard is standing down until they get a understanding of chain of command in this situation.
 
Whole bunch of arrests. Lots of wamen this time.

You can tell they're nowhere near as prepared or supported this time. They got trapped really easily on that freeway.

Statement from former Vice-President Kamala Harris:

“Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city.

Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.

This Administration's actions are not about public safety - they're about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process.

Protest is a powerful tool - essential in the fight for justice.

And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.

I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.”
Nah fuck off. You only call it chaos because you don't support it. There are no rights, freedoms, community or anything in a society that treats foreign invaders better than its own citizens.
