Send in the Marines!

“One would certainly expect the state to crack down on people engaging in violent acts in public. However, the US government, broadly defined, has scores of police forces – federal, state, and local – that would be far better suited to intervene than soldiers.”
“Twenty-plus years of war and occupation in Afghanistan prove that they are not a force capable of restoring civilian order.”

The Trump administration is sending 700 troops to LA to put down immigration riots.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
“Marines are deploying to the Los Angeles area to protect federal buildings and personnel in the wake of weekend protests over immigration that have already led President Trump to federalize National Guard troops, defense and congressional officials said.
The troops [. . .] won’t engage with protesters, the officials said.”
The deployment came amid heated protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has carried out thousands of raids to deport illegal migrants living in the US since Donald Trump returned to office.
The protests have devolved into chaos across several LA districts. In some cases, demonstrators hurled objects and launched fireworks at riot cops, who responded with flashbangs and rubber bullets. Similar protests have erupted in San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Louisville, Atlanta, New York and elsewhere in recent days.
