Did you not swear an oath when you signed up for the Navy?

"If a few of the people committing violence (riots / murders) in a city are severely injured or killed by the U.S. military, upon orders from the President, will the riots and murders be reduced?
What about OPINIONS from ATS members? Do you have one on the subject?

The undercover gestapos worked for keeping bars and restaurants closed during the Covid Crisis. Heck we got Mom and Pop places still afraid to reopen because them since they are only allowed 25% capacity.
Why use the cops...call forth the militias that everyone is scared of...

Many of the restaurants are afraid to open here too, due to the 25% occupancy limitation, and the danger of putting dining tables out in the parking lot.
After reading the President's Tweet this weekend about sending in the military to stop the riots, if the Democrat Governor of Minnesota requested it, it got me to wondering....

No.
If some looters tried coming at my house, yeah they'd get shot.
But me and my Marines would not follow orders to shoot Americans. And haven't served with any COs that would even try to order it.

I'm wondering why doesn't Trump just sit down with the protestors, see what they want and make a deal with them, like he suggested that woman from Michigan to do?

Not where I work. Monday night we opened full bore. I bought the house a round of Crown and we saluted our governor with a shot and a giant middle finger.

You could be right. We'll see how the public feels if the present riots start taking the lives of U.S. citizens.

Have you noticed that police in America, even in the small towns look less like police and more like Batman with 30 things hanging off their belt and 16 layers of clothing. For Gods sake, you're not invading another country and unless you work in a very rough district in an inner city, it's just unnecessary and does nothing for public confidence.
People don't want to view or perceive their local police force like military. They should be like sheriffs used to be in small towns, the same as you only heroes because they put their life on the line to protect you and keep order. People you trust, people you respect, people you admire.
All we have now is a militarized police force that "shoots first" and asks questions later. It's a systemic problem that unfortunately can't be fixed overnight but I think it's very clear to all Americans...... It needs to be fixed. Enough is enough.

30-something yr old white woman found topless, raped, and murdered right in the heart of the riots in MN. Someone reported it as being 3 men.
Good idea. Obama had a "Beer Summit" with a White Guy who shot a Black Man.

On July 16, 2009, Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested at his Cambridge, Massachusetts home by local police officer Sgt. James Crowley, who was responding to a 9-1-1 caller's report of men breaking and entering the residence. The arrest initiated a series of events that unfolded under the spotlight of the international news media.
