observations my military mind is nagging me with . . .
both "martyrs" "Good and Pretti" were armed with dangerous weapons;
they were allowed to get cheek-by jowl with LE during legal operations;
not only to interfere with LE but to cause harm to them;
a woman so close to an officer such she has to be pushed away and fell on the ground is not "pushed to the ground"; pushing someone away is self-defense by non-lethal force; not even resorting to tear gas or other non-lethal methods; why did she want to get that close to LE?!?! hmmmm? She wasn't handing out cookies;
MN cops are not protecting the crowds nor LE, but allowing "protestors" to become rioters by not keeping them back; dereliction of duty; an open invitation to inevitable confrontation;
establishing a perimeter around LE to keep crowds away [for their own good!] does not require the insurrection act;
the commander on the ground has the authority to do this force protection, and if he does not have enough forces to to do, the federal government needs to provide them;
ICE lacks training?!? they are trained in their mission; should not have to be expected to do mob control;
why isn't the government protecting LE, with trained police and mob control?? Not saying who; US Marshals? military MPs? Just DO IT! Establish a perimeter, barricades, just DO IT! Need not interfere with surprise . . .
