Governor Abbott Surges State Resources In Response To Protest Violence

May 31, 2020 | Austin, Texas | Press Release

Governor Greg Abbott today surged substantial statewide resources to cities throughout Texas in response to escalating protest violence. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has also deployed tactical teams to assist state and local law enforcement. The Governor has ordered thousands more troopers to these cities and more than one thousand National Guard to assist the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and local law enforcement in their efforts. These efforts are in addition to the Governor’s actions yesterday when he deployed DPS troopers to Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin and activated the Texas National Guard.

“Texans First Amendment rights are absolute and will always be protected,” said Governor Abbott. “But violence, vandalism, and looting will not be tolerated in this state and those found in violation of the law will be arrested and prosecuted.”

I think the chief of police, or someone very high up in the police department in Minneapolis , is. a black man.

It’s funny to hear that there’s all this racism when there are black officers in high positions in police departments all across the country.

Since these riots are not local and spontaneous, they are not likely to burn out soon.

They will have to be extinguished.

I’ve got Lookner open in a tab - I’ll be able to hear him from the kitchen when he comes on.

Hurry to the next planned riot and get you big screen TV free! Like I said, these cities need more Korean shop keepers if that is what it takes!

Georgia just called up another three thousand guardsmen

ANTIFA don’t want to mess with those southern men. They’ve served multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. They don’t play

Don’t take this the won’t way, however, I will be glad when you don’t have to create these threads. This nonsense had to stop.

Frankly I want to see a bunch of them get hurt bad and taught the consequences of their conduct. Kinda like Chicago ‘68.

Also I want to see a millennial answer to the Chicago Seven, except make it A Hundred and Eighty Seven or whatever, all going to the Federal Pen for a long time...

If any of the instigators are foreigners I’d wish to see them hanged as spies.

I cannot believe what I’m seeing on the television right now, live from Philadelphia, the destruction of the police cars the property and the police just stand by! Where is the national guard! Why in the world is there no National Guard posted throughout the city to prevent such destruction? Where is the governor? Where is law enforcement, to stop this!

The Bolsheviks are leveraging all this. I am waiting for rioters to be shot by snipers on rooftops or in upper windows by antifas to be blamed loudly by all on Right Wing Terrorists.

Thank you very much for the thread, although I am not looking forward to more.

Last night made me very damned angry. I cannot believe they beat that poor man like they did, I cannot believe this is being allowed to occur in various Democrat controlled cities.

Since these “protests” all over the country are almost certainly being coordinated and supported by enemies both domestic and foreign, they need to be treated much more seriously than others we’ve seen in recent years. (Some of those had outside agitators involved, too, but not to this level.) They pose a threat to the United States itself and should be treated that way.

Police need social media experts to track and monitor these radical communists communications in order to identify plans, deploy forces efficiently, identify thugs and their financiers.

Without good policing and long jail time these vermin will continue the anarchy.
