I had listened to the emergency police scanners during that time. I thought I had heard that the National Guard was in place, staged, but there was never a call for them. If they were in place and were not allowed to help control the violence, I want to know who issued the standdown order. The police should’ve crackdown when the first rock was thrown or window was broken! Instead they let the place burn.
We already know that if obama or Holder were not the one who gave the standdown order then it was somebody acting on their authority. So if there is an official investigation at all it will go down like the one on Benghazi did (which is still ongoing...)
The good news is that burning the place down backfired on obama and Holder. The whole thing looks silly, counter-productive, immature, wasteful, stupid,....etc
