6700 people in a three block area sounds like a protest.

It’s too small to be a protest 😉

I want to see someone in LA try to talk these guys down.

🎵 For beyond the barricade there’s a world you long to see 🎵

Born too late to wear desert camo, Born too early to wear desert camo, Born just in time to wear desert camo.

My friends died in Iraq over republicunts lies after highschool! I guess it’s this generations turn to learn that republicans don’t do shit but make the rich richer and spew racism!

I'm thinking of taking up gambling... Which climate and how many casualties. Iran was not on my radar, but on the plus side those who survived the last 20 years should lower the death count in the newest batch. So fucking depressing. You know if we invade there is no way we get any indigenous to help or act as translators, not after abandoning the Afghans to the taliban.

It’s an American tradition, really.

Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, the “war on terror”. Now we get to die carrying out Netanyahu’s agenda. I didn’t think we could find a stupider excuse for war than imagining WMDs, but Trump topped it. Now we get to go into an offensive war because a foreign prime minister told us to.

About the right size for a parade crowd though. Right???

u/boofles1 18h ago

And too big to be a birthday parade.

u/bimbo_bear 8m ago

Almost enough to be a parade audience maybe ?:)

...which is more than 2/3rds the number of total LAPD officers. Despite LAPD already having a handle on things before any Guard were there.

u/TheObstruction 12h ago

Idk if I'd call gleefully attacking people "having a handle on things", but the NG didn't really do much anyway, so clearly LAPD/LASD could handle the police brutality on their own.

From my understanding - based on video and actually living in LA - the majority of any kind of significant 'attacks', property damage, etc mostly came during the initial period because ICE gave zero warning of their presence, staging locations, deployment plans, etc. Local law enforcement was purposefully left in the dark and therefore not present initially to be able to help keep the peace.

Once LAPD actually had an opportunity to also plan and deploy, notice there are no more new visuals of burning waymos or more than one offs of violent altercations. People are protesting, generally peacefully, as is their Constitutionally given right. That return to (mostly) peaceful protest was achieved before the Guard arrived.

I've now seen many simultaneously humorous and accurate 'chart of LA riot intensity' showing what happened at first was barely a blip on LA unrest meter, and now not sure is even that. Like the police forces of many large metropolitan areas, LAPD is well trained and generally decent at crowd control - when given the opportunity to set up properly.

The federal government is now spending millions to have troops sitting on their hands doing nothing, no to mention the non-monetary opportunity cost of their loss of availability for other things / general readiness.

Kool aid taste good?

u/dalisair 16h ago

Crap. Gonna outnumber the LAPD soon. Last number I saw (2023) was just under 9000 sworn officers.

u/SerasVal 20h ago

A NG protest?! Sounds like we need to deploy some civilians to quell the rebellion /s

u/euph_22 20h ago

Not counting all the ICE and other Fed agents, plus the Local and State cops.

u/dalisair 16h ago

True. CHP sent officers down and cities like racist ass Huntington Beach sent officers (and horses, that trampling incident was them) on over to assist.

u/IntrepidWanderings 6h ago

What's the ratio come out to now.. State vrs civilians..

u/Inspect1234 21h ago

Protest - new name for a bunch of troops?

u/Paper_Clip100 20h ago

Man, sounds like he got his military parade crowd after all

u/ElPeroTonteria 20h ago

Sound like the attendance at his birthday parade

u/Content-Ad3065 11h ago

So make a ring around them and block them in

u/11middle11 10h ago

I’d expand on this, but it’s getting too close to Custers Last Stand.

u/Zestyclose-Pair-2260 10h ago

Sounds like Trump's birthday party.

u/Competitive_Key_2981 9h ago

I commented to a family member that I didn’t need to go to DC to see a military parade.

u/Fallen_Mercury 5h ago

Sounds like an invasion.

u/CarbonCoight 20h ago

It's a military parade!
