Are we headed for a major internal US conflict?

So Trump just tweeted this out.

Are we about to have some major conflict? I read earlier National Guard was sent to Minneapolis.

That seems like a very ominous threat.....

That method of operation works pretty well for us here in NW Florida after a hurricane.
I'd say it's worth a shot.

I've been hearing civil war and conflict between different groups for years.

Reality is people don't mind authoritarian government, they just want their flavor. And they're content with taking turns.

See, who says the president does not listen to us?? He is clearly listening to ats. There was no real reason the rioters should have ever even overran the third precint. Only an order to stand down could have allowed such an outcome.

I don't really care much for target, I probably would have used it as an excuse myself to load up on some freebies. From a contingency perspective this just shows an utter lack of any kind of leadership within the Department to allow such an outcome.

Is that how they will respond to a terrorist attack too, just run away and allow the destruction of your base of operations???

Its looking more like a Hollywood production at this point. Anybody see busses bringing ppl in?? Keep an eye out for stuff like that.

I think that would be a violation of Posse Comitatus, which "limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States".

So much better than past President's who would merely say, "Cut it out you guys!"

Yea, hinting at using the military domestically is super legal and super cool.

Using the military to quell domestic terrorism should be allowed.

We agree on alot

On this we disagree.

I the police have lost the city why shouldnt the military come in.

Should we just allow domestic terrorists to run free? Or should we further militarize our police forces to stop these domestic terrorists?

That's what the National Guard is for.

Have we forgotten?

I think throwing around the term terrorist for people we disagree with is dangerous.

The people rioting are tearing apart their own community out of anger against one man (more if you count the police who didn't stop him). The actions of those men do not reflect the community or nation as a whole... Their actions are illegal and should be punished. (edit, both the officers and rioters)

Do you think calling in the military will solve anything? No, it would likely make it worse.

It would also set a precedence, and the definition of terrorist will over time be used more and more. There will come a day they define people terrorists you disagree with, and by then it will be too late.

There are other ways to deal with this, like the existing laws we have.

One person's domestic terrorism is another's declaration of independence.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The depth of the perception of governmental overreach and oppression runs really deep in American DNA.

a reply to: Vasa Croe

He's going to be GLUED to the coverage of the National Guard quelling the Minneapolis riots. They're token riots really, weak and nothing like the Reginald Denny thing. Funny, I forgot the name of the black guy who got gang mobbed on video by the cops but I remember the name of the white truck driver who took a brick to the head and suffered brain damage.

Cant we all just get along?

a reply to: CriticalStinker

They are terrorists

Destroy cities such as this is terrosism.

The military should be called in if the national guard is unable to regain control.

Should we also not call ISIS terrorists? After all they primarily affect their own communities, and they also feel they have justified anger.

Maybe you will prove right.

Lets leave these terrorists have control of the city, then when some civilian takes matters into his own hands, they can lynch them

Sorry, I dont think allowing left wing terrorists to burn down our cities is a smart move for the country to go in.

It will set a precedent, burn, rob loot; nothing will be done. There wioll come a day when they destroy your lievlihood, and nothing will be able to be done.

My bad you are right. I remember the founding fathers stealing and burning their neighbors property to fight King George.

I say call up these independence declarers and give them your address to come steal tvs and burn down your house.

All in the name of freedom, right?

a reply to: Grambler

Lol, left wing terrorists. Always have to make it seem so political. This is deeper than politics.

You really think those rioters all vote? Sure, they want whats beneficial to them but it's not like they follow CNN.

Can you give them one good reason to vote Republican considering their demographics?

You betcha they did. Boston Tea Party comes to mind. America was built on insurrection. Apology accepted.

No I think they almost all believe in the left wing establishment narrative that the USA is a racist country, and cops are hunting black men to kill.

Ignoring the political ideology that fanned the flames of these riots and acts of terrorism only allows the problem to continue.
