@no1marauder saidPost a video from the jan 6 riot, tell them it's LA, and watch these fascists scream this is why they need marines to protect their safety.
I don't watch 10 minute propaganda You Tubes with a narrator committed to the type of right wing exaggeration you use here constantly. We already heard how cities like Minneapolis were "burned to the ground" during the disturbances after George Floyd's murder.
Mike Johnson on the news saying whatever means necessary is super creepy. Like, dude, you're the speaker of the house.

Yet you claim to be a rational, open-minded free thinker.
What you are doing is denying reality.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidThe LAPD has almost 9,000 officers besides the Federal law enforcement agents on the scene. Local and State authorities say that is sufficient to deal with the situation and there is no legal basis trump has used that justifies federalizing the Guard.
"a small number of instances where property was damaged".....
Keep listening to the fake news channels and ignore what you can see with your own eyes:
There's a TON of property being damaged.

Call that a small amount, do you?
That is all you need to know but you won't see that on right wing created You Tubes (which appears to be where you get all your (mis)information from).

@Cliff-Mashburn saidIt's hilarious you think propaganda videos that any schmuck can post on You Tube are "reality".

@no1marauder saidIf that's true then why haven't they been able to stop all the property destruction and attacks on LEO's?

Why has the violence continued to spread and escalate?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidNope, I'm stating a reality that the property damage is relatively minor and there have been no serious injuries.

You can stop posting You Tubes; I won't watch them for reasons already explained. If you want to post articles from right wing news sources specifically estimating the amount of damage and any injuries, I'll take a look.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidIt hasn't.

"The official also says the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has made 29 arrests, almost all for failing to disperse, which is a misdemeanour offence."

Trump wants to shut down the protests, he isn't worried about minor levels of property destruction.

@no1marauder saidProperty damage is already in the millions of dollars, but hey, just keep burying your head in the sand.

Only minor injuries so far, not for lack of trying though. When someone is finally killed will that make you happy? Because they have been trying to kill officers.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidIs there any non-You Tube source supporting such claims?

@Cliff-Mashburn saidA "massive" protest in LA Saturday night:

"A second protest in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night attracted approximately 60 people, who chanted slogans including "ICE out of L.A.!""

Granted there was a somewhat larger gathering in Paramount, 15 miles south of LA, involving 350 to 400 protesters.
None of that equals Cliff's usual "Chicken Littling".
@no1marauder saidYou look like an idiot sticking your head in the sand when confronted with factual evidence.

You did the same when blm was burning cities down. Do you think anyone believes you?
@Cliff-Mashburn said
They are massively outnumbered and aren't allowed to fight back, what would you expect them to do?
Trump should authorize the use of lethal force against all rioters.
Rifles of the IRA lyrics
They burned their way through Munster
And laid Leinster on the rack
In Connnacht and in Ulster
Marched the men of brown and black
They shot down wives and children
In their own heroic way
[Chorus]
And the black and tans
Like lightning ran
From the rifles of the I.R.A
