Talk about trying to put words in my mouth!

If police cannot maintain control of the streets - the only option left is soldiers on the ground - this is how to run a country 101.

Casual criminals jump on the protest bandwagon and turn these things into looting sprees. Short memories some people.

Horrible scenes of an old lady protecting her shop being attacked by looters/protestors. This just strengthens the resolve of the establishment to use the stick rather than the carrot.

Exactly

Yes we are too busy arguing if the rioters and looters might be of colour or local not agreeing that they need to be stopped in a civilised country!

Peaceful protesters welcome just in case the thickies get confused.

So all a wanna-be dictator needs is a few vilent infiltrators in order to get justification for brutal military crackdown on legitimate protest?

Worked for Hitler & Stalin!

Only if the protests continue to be violent, destroying public and private property; and injuring innocent bystanders. If that continues - send in the army.

PurpleGorilla is supposed anti-elite socialist who wants the military to crackdown on protesting people.

You know it makes sense.

Isn't he also the first President to have to go down into the bunker to be protected from his own people?

He must be. The idea he cleared peaceful demonstrators out with tear gas so he could photo op outside a Church is incredible. There are times to show strength, against unarmed peaceful protesters is not one of them.

[vetran]

You confuse / equate rioters with protestors as you wish, there's no reasoning to be made here with that thinking.

Those Peaceful protests sorry spooters riots have been going on for a while now.

This is a planned attack on democracy by people who mean us harm those harmed will include people of all colours.
