We’ve learned no such thing. I can’t even imagine the fact pattern you


Think supports that. There was some actual rioting going on when this began. There isn’t for the most part anymore. It stopped from passage of time, from police efforts, and from efforts of other protestors who didn’t want the violence. But it stopped, partly because local officials were all over it. I know so many people who live in NYC, and there is no rioting there. But there is a spike in instances of gun violence and other crime, which is making people jittery.

Sending in military styled masked dudes in unmarked cars in the vicinity of federal courts will not do anything to address the crime spike. It will reignite protests, and make them appear as violent as possible, with tear gas being fired at the protestors, which makes for great apocalyptic TV imagery.

That’s the goal of current Trump policies. To create that imagery for their campaign.
