Does deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles represent undo escalation, or is it equal force?
IMO deploying the National Guard is an undo escalation that will result in violence on the side of the protesters. The LAPD could have stopped this - - but they fucked it up again like so many times before. By deploying the National Guard, President Trump will create a crisis and an opportunity to institute marshal law.
None of what is happening in LA right now needed to happen. LA city officials fucked this up, again! City officials should have clearly communicated ICE lawful purpose carrying out warrants. The City should have engaged community leaders to work with ICE and carry out those lawful warrants publicly and peacefully. LAPD should have been out in the community working with ICE and those community leaders too ( again, openly and peacefully! )
LA politicians and the California Governors office let this situation happen for their own selfish political reasons and they should be punished for it.
President Trump will use this crisis as opportunity for regime change.
Now the people of LA, and California, are seriously fucked.
