When civil authorities tell local police to “stand down” in the face of civil insurrection; to tolerate looting, arson, and vandalism; then the grownups in the room have other means of restoring order.
Don’t want the military on your streets? Then DO YOUR JOB; maintain order. Do NOT suggest the “de-funding” or “abolishing” the police is a rational solution. Yet, that’s exactly what our radical Left “leaders” are openly advocating. It’s literally INSANE.
