Really though, that's happening in Provo freaking Utah? Probably one of the most conservative places in America? Are these people shipped in from somewhere to do this?

I can't even understand that tweet. Old and white = white supremacist?
Check with Lost Texan he has the answer. What I can’t figure out is if the dominant racist are old white people why are the young black, white and other colors doing all the looting, and destruction. How many old white guys have you seem tearing down statues, burning buildings and destroying everything in sight. One thing we are guilty of is answering the call to defend this nation when called on. But that doesn’t count for much with young professionals who think their ideology is superior to any who have walked the earth before them. Okay on to the next project.

I’m extremely disappointed that this bullshit has been allowed to go on this long.

Trump and his administration have lost my vote. I can’t support someone who sits back and lets the streets and businesses be overrun by chaos. The time to act has long since come and gone. Threats don’t do it for me. They’re protecting statues of dead people while living people are being shot at and beat up.

This is bullshit.

The police power belongs to the states, not the federal government. The problem is the "see no evil" attitude of many state and local officials. If you think things are bad now, wait 'til Biden wins.

It’s not Trump who is allowing all this carnage. He cannot order the local law enforcement people to intercede. He can call upon the state militias but they would be subject to a rejection of the governors who are the primary orders they control. The democrats have been hoping Trump would intercede because it would give them lot of fodder to blow up everything by interfering with a protest.

Absolutely. I get it. State controlled police.

What’s the remedy when the states don’t allow the police to keep order? Any rouge governor is allowed to turn off law and law enforcement and let their city be overrun? Burned to the ground?

Trump is helpless in all this?

Not only is the police run by the state, but all of these states this is happening in, are controlled by democrat state leadership.

If Trump sends troops into NY or Minneapolis and they kill someone (either legitimately or illegitimately), the headlines will scream "TRUMP HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS!!" Too risky this close to an election.
