Trump administration 2024-2028

How powerful would the imagery be if a few protesters just ran out onto the route and simply stood in front of an Abrams? It wouldn’t last long, but they only need a photo.

There will be plenty of opportunity, maybe even more time than needed. Engine breakdowns are always at the ready to ruin any parade.

Well apparently some of the USMC in 29 Palms are refusing to move out citing it as an illegal order that would violate Posse Comittatus, apparently an 0-6 Colonel is demanding JAG review before he agrees to move the Regiment

Have the massive holes Trump made in the JAG leadership even been filled yet?

Got sourcing on this?

I am really hoping that LAPD has a better explanation for this one.

I’d like to see the purported video of them initially doing the damage. If the cars are drivable but the windshields are smashed all to shit, I could see breaking the remaining glass out entirely so it could be slowly driven away off scene and recovered, and whoever’s driving has visibility.

Mislabeled I think- that gear doesn’t look like National Guard. That’s some sort of police team.

If only cops had some sort of uniform to distinguish them from paramilitary or military forces. It'd be unfortunate if cops didn't look like they were about to storm Fallujah.

Same as the original post is a snip that is mostly likely out of context — but was used as background by the news channel to have LAPD discussing vehicle damage by rioters. (Not a good look their LAPD PA team, and probably should have talked about what the B roll etc was to be used for that). .

Correct. It has been confirmed that no Mil have been used in LE roles at this point.

Well down on the Mexican America border at certain places and times, Fallujah is an accurate synonym.

Similarly there are legitimate times that LEO’s should be able to hide their faces to prevent their identities being known.
Counter Narcotics against Cartels being the easiest one to hold out as a reason.

But wearing masks to shoot reporters (more than one) with less lethal launchers isn’t one.
