the initial 2,000 National Guard soldiers were not given food or water
They're relying on their own limited internal supplies of packs of bottled water and MREs.
That's grumbling territory but not actually making them upset or discontent.
You'd probably piss them off by eating really good food in front of them and taunting them into deserting their assignment for a killer street taco
killer street taco
Pristine lowriders cruise up. Guys and girls get out. The music is starts really pumpin' and everybody is really jumpin'. Then there's a street flotilla of Killer Street Taco trucks with a lot of food preheated and ready to eat. Everybody grabs something to eat plus a drink (beer if they want) and as they eat, drink, and dance they chant to the Marines. "You want some?" "You know you want some." "It's gooooooooooood."
In the good ol days an army marched on its stomach! If these guys were in the Grande Armée they'd have already deserted!
AFAIK, reactionaries HATE the BLM protests (no idea why), even so far as to slander them and randomly go on rants about events that they didn't personally witness or lived within 100 miles of, so I presume that Trump intentionally recreating them synthetically is probably really annoying.
For the LAPD specifically, the Switch 2 just came out and now you can't play it because you suddenly now have to work overtime for an indefinite period of time? Fuck that.
Friend worked at a gun store in 2020 and he said every day would come in and try to buy an AR-15 because they were genuinely terrified that black people would come to their sundown town suburb to burn their houses down.
I remember meeting a couple of these types too and they were 100% sincere with their fear of their homes being burned down by rioters (all miles away from any city/protest). I think a large part of that fear is that deep down they know they deserve something like that happening to them.
Y'all remember when the BLM protests burned down every city in the country? Because reactionaries do.
They claim that there was billions of dollars of damage to public and private property
It may have even been as much as a bazillion
fucking piss babies. What kind of modern amerikkkan police department can’t handle beating down their own citizens. disgraceful
Obviously the LAPD has gone woke and soy and needs to be immediatly dissolved
Because they’re mad someone else might take their overtime bucks
LAPD is mad someone else is trying to get in on their action. They want to beat and shoot all the protestors themselves. Not very into sharing
fear for their prized crayon collection
Honestly? Probably easy good publicity.
