    Maybe they shouldn’t let federal troops take over their state? They act like they’re not a top 10 military unto themselves.

      Well, there are legal proceedings trying to show that using the federal troops in this way is illegal and have them removed. What exactly are you proposing, that the LAPD start a war with the Marines?

    Ah, right, the fascist ones. They love the idea.

    I thought whenever military are sent to an area to control … they are ‘OCCUPYING’ it and controlling it for themselves through force

    … like what they’ve been doing for years in foreign countries.
