The National Guard was deployed faster to protect dollar tree than the United States Capitol.

[onecaliberal]

This pathetic and completely ridiculous.
NOT ACCEPTABLE!

1. Please provide link.

3. Turn on your TV or stream what's happening 10 miles from the Floyd trial.

National Guard deployed 5 minutes after curfew. You can see it with your own eyes.

[LakeArenal]

21. I barely get US television. So thanks.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

2. So Trump shirked his response so no one else should respond quickly?

[onecaliberal]

4. Yes totally. That is exactly what I said.. I wasn't pointing out the fucking ridiculousness of it.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

7. So what is your point then?

That Trump was a shitty President?

[11 Bravo]

22. Do you object to being reminded?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

23. I don't need to be reminded, especially here

Especially in a badly worded OP that seems to imply that it's bad that the MN National Guard was called out when the DC Guard wasn't.

[11 Bravo]

24. You drew an inference that I did not.

I read the OP as an obvious rebuke to the malfeasance by the Trump administration on January 6.

[iemanja]

5. The guard had already been deployed

because of the Chauvin trial.

[onecaliberal]

6. Yes but the protestors were not allowed to mill around and

Leave when they felt like it. They are being tear gassed and rubber billets are being used.

[iemanja]

9. the point I was responding to

was the speed of deployment.

[onecaliberal]

10. If the white men im charge weren't so worried about optics

They wouldn’t have ignored the Intel and the guard would have already been at the capitol too.

[iemanja]

14. The comparison you are making is illogical

Therefore the rest of your argument is all over the map.

Yes, the delay in deploying the guard in DC amounted to treason. That has nothing to do with the speed of guard being deployed in Brooklyn Center because the guard was already deployed in the area.

On the other hand, you argue against deployment of the guard by pointing to behavior of police (rubber bullets, etc.), which also makes no sense.

[onecaliberal]

18. If the Intel would have not been ignored the guard would have already been

In DC. The guard is in Minneapolis because of tue trial. The insurrections should have been met with the DC Guard and the same gas and rubber bullets they met BLM with last summer.

[iemanja]

20. Agreed

but more so since BLM never tried to overthrow the US government.

[question everything]

8. The Minnesota Governor deploys the Minnesota National Guard. He has not authority on

the ones in D.C.

This is just flaming for the sake of flaming.

[onecaliberal]

11. No it's making a point; even if you don't see it.

[sarisataka]

12. Solution-

Put Minnesota in charge of security at the United States Capitol

[iemanja]

15. That I can get behind!

Walz can handle it!

[Scrivener7]

13. You are absolutely right. The comparison is horrifying and maddening. Not sure why you are getting

heat for pointing it out.

[progree]

17. Exactly This!👆

[mahatmakanejeeves]

16. I know I'm asking for trouble, but

it's a matter of jurisdiction. The DC National Guard is under the jurisdiction of ...

checking ...

District of Columbia National Guard

The District of Columbia National Guard is the branch of the United States National Guard based in the District of Columbia. It comprises both the D.C. Army National Guard and the D.C. Air National Guard components.

The president of the United States is the commander-in-chief for the District of Columbia National Guard. Command is exercised through the Secretary of Defense and the commanding general, Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ), District of Columbia National Guard. The Secretary of Defense has delegated his command authority to the Secretary of the Army for the District of Columbia Army National Guard and the Secretary of the Air Force for the District of Columbia Air National Guard. The District of Columbia National Guard is commanded by a major general with a brigadier general as his or her adjutant general. The mayor of the District of Columbia, the United States marshal for the District of Columbia, or the National Capital Service director may request the commander-in-chief to aid them in suppressing insurrection and enforcement of the law; however, there is no chain of authority from the District of Columbia to the D.C. National Guard.

So it's as if you're comparing apples and some other kind of fruit.

[onecaliberal]

19. Just pointing out how differently

Black protestors are treated than white. No fruit, just a fact. The fact is everyone knew the insurrectionists were coming. Just like they know the verdict could cause unrest.
