Federal and local leaders on Sunday began to ease restrictions and deployment of military forces in response to nationwide protests sparked by the police-involved killing of George Floyd that continued over the weekend.
President Donald Trump on Sunday tweeted that he had ordered the National Guard to withdraw from Washington, D.C., but warned that they can "quickly return" if demonstrations once again escalate.

Did something shift behind the scenes?
Have the organizers been contacted by the authorities?
Didn’t some Florida National Guard just arrive and get sworn in as marshals?
Need more info........
Plans laid, pray for success.
Yes and that along with several others. Call it deterrence. Brilliant idea!
Did something shift behind the scenes?
No, the National Guard has NOT been withdrawn-— this is “news” from the DOD bureaucracy that wants it to be so.
Only if the “organizers” have all been arrested... which is entirely possible in a rather short time. Thus editing out only the looting criminal element who clearly are not “protesting”
Still stupid in Portland (that has a ring to it)
Seen on the back of Hong Kong T shirt, “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity”
I haven’t heard a whole lot of the ‘demonstrations’ in DC last night, then again I watch very little ‘live’ TV.
It would be something if a street sign and a few thousand gallons of paint may have put the lid back on it.
I had heard a report yesterday evening that BLM types had been putting up tents (the open ones) and handing out water and snacks?
Haven’t heard if they cleaned up after themselves..
Then again, the LIBs figure leaving a lot of trash gives the ‘little people’ an opportunity to make money.
(I went into a gas station and threw a cup and something in the trash bin and a guy cleaning the parking lot came up to me and profusely thanked me for ‘helping’ him.
I went on to tell him that if EVERYONE were as ‘thoughtful’ as me and put their garbage where it belongs, HE WOULD BE OUT OF A JOB.)
So now he doesn’t know if I was ‘helping’ him or ‘hurting’ him.....<: <: <:
What shifted out in the open is that rioting declined dramatically in the last 48 hours. It has nothing to do with police or military deterrence, either. It stopped because the organizers recognized the terrible optics of having white anarchist misfits burning down black neighborhoods.
Yes. Saw pics on someone’s Twitter thread. I didn’t take down the address, much to my regret just now.
I believe that Trump is able to stand down some National Guard troops because he has other assets in place.
A fellow FReeper posted a link from Brian Cates’ Twitter a couple days ago. I have not seen this widely reported. If all is true, it explains a lot about how Trump is handling the crisis:

Guess the look at me brats got bored and decided to return to the basement
Yes, President Trump had the Florida National Guard sworn in as temporary U.S. Marshals. (Arresting authority) Behind the scenes, the ATF, DEA, DHS, FBI, etc. were used to round up the ANTIFA and other “agitators” before they could get to the demonstrations. Also the mysterious bricks and other projectiles were rounded up. ANTIFA vehicles had all sorts of weapons in them. Providing easy evidence of terrorism. This was done over most of the country quietly. Notice how quiet the protests have become. Slight of hand: look at the military in this hand while I clean things up with the other hand.
Did I miss something?
Like a lying ass headline the other day declaring the mayor of D.C. has tossed them out of the city?
When your enemy is trying to commit suicide, why get in his way?
Something additional may be in the mix. I’m hearing info that’s making me wonder if city/county/state health departments are starting to see a spike in WuFlu cases associated with the protests...and are attempting to hide that information.
“Didn’t some Florida National Guard just arrive and get sworn in as marshals?”
I saw that too. A unit from the Florida Army National Guard (Commanded by a supportive Governor), were sworn in as Federal Marshals. That allows them to exercise law enforcement powers, including arrest, which Active Duty Military can not.
They could be housed at the many Military bases in the DC Metro area, for rapid deployment.
Just the best president EVAH
Unexpected
Massive
Devastating
All done at Trump Speed.
Heard that too. Brilliant move. US Marshals report to DOJ.
These temporarily deputized US Marshals are also National Guard and LEOs.
This move quashes any bid by mayors and governors to disband police or NG, or criticize POTUS’s plan to use the Insurrection Act.
Multi-dimensional chess again!
