Crazy aint it. Theyve got an entire Apartment building evacuated and blocked access to reporters, 2 blocks from main containment area.
so is it a Boston style hot pursuit peek search, and then they leave my property?

No I dont support this. Did you watch any of the live reporting tonight? There hadnt been any looting or violating anything tonite. Just typical protest control tactics by Law Enforcement. The Cops out numbered protesters tonight about 500 to 200.
So what is the issue about this?
You advocated the NG to come in to stop the riots. I help train NG and Army Reserve units in shooting when they come to our range . Our range pays for the ammo.
With current Government regulations the Army Reserves/NG get less than 500 round a year to qualify.
How can you expect the NG to quell a riot with that type of training? They get no additional training for crowd control in their normal duty's,

Sounds like they Inadvertently ordered an evacuation then didnt know what to do with residents.
I advocate that the Guard protect protestors. Looters are another matter.You advocate the NG to protect the looters?
Nope. But it's still more than a lot of police departments get.You think 500 rounds a year is adequate training?
And where do you draw the line between the two? How many reporters take it from a "protest" to a "media event."I have watched the live feeds. It's now a media event. No longer a protest.
When the media began inflaming it to keep it alive is when I quit following the story. It overshadowed another event I was trying to follow; the airstrikes against ISIS. I have no idea what is going on with our air assets assisting the Kurdish move to retake the Mosul dam. All I was seeing on CNN were reporters trying to inflame the situation with all the looting and rioting. And it was the same on MSNBC and Fox. The gist I get is that news is media driven, spurred by ratings, and that the reporting of serious news is secondary in priority.
