Wow. This man needs a lesson on how to deescalate a situation properly. Will this heavy handed approach really make people less angry? I doubt it..

The National Guard would go to stop violence, wouldn't it?

Pretty interesting how people even here try to invert the situation for political reasons.

You tell me, he quite literally says the military is with him and ready to shoot when people start looting.

Please tell me how I am inverting the situation? Or should I use your translation book to make sense of his tweets?

If those "people" started looting my property i would have very much liked for someone to shoot them

Ah so now they are "people"? The people who loot should be arrested and tried. Once you start using force many innocent people will be caught in the crosshairs, this will only further escalate the situation.

I don't have a dog in your fight, but you are aware that "arresting them" is literally done by force, right? And from what I hear, whether you send in the National Guard or a militarized police force is primarily a political difference, not so much a question of escalation.

You can't arrest someone whom you've just shot dead.
