[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, let's all vote for the guy who wants to invoke the Insurrection Act next time there's a BLM rally. What could possibly go wrong?[/quote]

No one believes this bs anymore. [/quote]
Why not when Trump is out campaigning saying he’s going to do it? Are you calling Trump a liar?

DP.  I have no problem with this.  None whatsoever.  Perhaps rioters and looters would think twice, for once, before terrorizing cities and police whenever they want to throw a tantrum.  And you realize, it's been used before?  From your own link:

"Presidents have issued a total of 40 proclamations invoking the law, some of those done multiple times for the same crisis, Nunn said. Lyndon Johnson invoked it three times — in Baltimore, Chicago and Washington — in response to the unrest in cities after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.

During the Civil Rights era, Presidents Johnson, John F. Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower used the law to protect activists and students desegregating schools. Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Arkansas, to protect Black students integrating Central High School after that state’s governor activated the National Guard to keep the students out.

George H.W. Bush was the last president to use the Insurrection Act, a response to riots in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of the white police officers who beat Black motorist Rodney King in an incident that was videotaped."[/quote]
