Sounds like they Inadvertently ordered an evacuation then didnt know what to do with residents.
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,
Oh pooh. What does shooting 500 rounds have to do with the conversation. The Guard is a Military Unit. The Militarys can protect a few protesters. Local Law Enforcement is doing a piss poor job in handling this situation. Anyone with eyes and a sense of patriotism can see whats being reported and the local boys effed up this whole situation.
Them local PDs are walking all over the rights of citizens. Whos standing up for citizens? Dont they have Constitutional Rights to assemble and protest.....free from Police intimidation tactics?
I watched quite a bit of live feed tonight, didn't see anything thrown at cops, no looting, no violence of any kind. But I did see people arrested for peaceful protesting and the freedom of the press restricted.
what a sad state of affairs, if this happens where I live my only credential is a Oklahoma DL.
You advocate the NG to protect the looters?
You think 500 rounds a year is adequate training?
They get no training In crowd control.
I have watched the live feeds. It's now a media event. No longer a protest.

I advocate that the Guard protect protestors. Looters are another matter.
Nope. But it's still more than a lot of police departments get.
And where do you draw the line between the two? How many reporters take it from a "protest" to a "media event."
And--while we're on the subject--does the First Amendment not apply to "media events?" Again, distinguishing from active criminality--into which category looting would fall--what is acceptable in your world? What is protected by the Constitution, and--since you're judging--where would you, as a District Court judge--draw the line?
Does police officers threatening to shoot reporters for reporting accurately cross that line, or is that reporting just an unacceptable "media event?"
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.
Yep - and it's almost deer season, yet the media NEVER even mentions it. Totally ignoring the important stuff, keeping us distracted with this other crap.
