It was the police response to the riots when they brought out the military hardware.
And the riots had already started and would have continued with or without the military hardware. It’s purely an excuse to justify their lawlessness, just like they will riot tonight that the curfew has been lifted.
The little thugs have won the street wars. Now come the big thugs who will carry that victory to city hall the courts and Congress. And who’s going to stop them?
We’ve set quite a precedent with this surrender - and we’ll be paying a heavy price.
