With all due respect, you are utterly ignorant of the USA, The Constitution of the USA, USA government, and USA politics. Since the 1990's we have had Presidents off "messages of unity" when this chit happens. Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, and Obama. All it has gotten is worse.There are literally millions upon millions of black people in America that are not looting and want nothing to do with violent protests. But they have faced racism and are behind what BLM stands for in some ways, but not all ways. But it is front and center and has the microphone, so they are using it. The danger they face in aligning with part of the BLM agenda, is that they get accused of supporting looting and violent protests. Like what I am seeing in this discussion. Maybe those that are posting here, actually have talked with their black friends, co-workers, neighbors about it and understand their views as well. But I suspect many of you posting haven't talked to them to try to understand.
Its unfortunate that you have an election process going on that will not let ANYTHING get done about the protests and violence. It is in the GOP's best interest for it to escalate because they have heavily invested in a polarized fear mongering election platform that is central to the law and order messaging.
Ironically all of this is occurring under Trump's leadership and policies. Its amazing that he is using news footage of events that are occurring now, under his leadership, as a campaign platform for a prediction of what might happen under Biden's leadership. But he is not doing anything about it. He is in charge now. So he should be able to stop it now and demonstrate how his law and order agenda will end it all right now. If he can't do it now, how can he do it starting in January 2021?
I really wish that the GOP had a better choice back in 2016. I fear that you are actually going to lose conservative government leadership in the US because of Donald Trump. And in the meantime, he has stirred up more racial division since the 1960s that he has no solution for. If he has a solution, he has not done a good job articulating it.
Trump doesn't have federal power over the states (read that 5 times). Law enforcement starts with the city/counts and the individual states. Unless invited by the state government, you need a federal crime for the feds to get involved. From day one, Trump has said restore law and order. From day one, he has said the feds will help. From day one, Democrat Governors and Mayors rejected his help. Not because they wanted to protect their citizens, but because they thought they could score political points. They where wrong. Law and order always wins with Joe and Judy lunch bucket. All you need to do is look at Kenosha. Trump offered troops. Denied. Until people got killed. Then the troops showed up along with Fed law enforcement. They ended the riots in hours. They literally pulled the antifa thugs off the streets as they where gassing up. Two nights of actual protests followed. We'll see what happens tonight.
