Tom Cotton: Send In the Troops
MORE LIKE SEND IN THE CLOWNS
By Tom Cotton
Mr. Cotton, a Republican, is a United States senator from Arkansas.
June 3, 2020
MR. COTTON HEAD, IS A JINGOIST WAR MONGERING CHICKEN HAWK
THIS VIOLATES THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT, AND WHEN THIS WAS TRIED IN THE THIRTIES THE US MILITARY LEADERSHIP CONSIDERED IT, RIGHTLY SO, TREASON AND AN ATTEMPTED COUP ARRESTING ALL INVOLVED

This week, rioters have plunged many American cities into anarchy, recalling the widespread violence of the 1960s.
New York City suffered the worst of the riots Monday night, as Mayor Bill de Blasio stood by while Midtown Manhattan descended into lawlessness. Bands of looters roved the streets, smashing and emptying hundreds of businesses. Some even drove exotic cars; the riots were carnivals for the thrill-seeking rich as well as other criminal elements.
Outnumbered police officers, encumbered by feckless politicians, bore the brunt of the violence. In New York State, rioters ran over officers with cars on at least three occasions. In Las Vegas, an officer is in “grave” condition after being shot in the head by a rioter. In St. Louis, four police officers were shot as they attempted to disperse a mob throwing bricks and dumping gasoline; in a separate incident, a 77-year-old retired police captain was shot to death as he tried to stop looters from ransacking a pawnshop. This is “somebody’s granddaddy,” a bystander screamed at the scene. THIS IS OF COURSE NOT TRUE, IT IS THE BIASED POLITICAL TWISTING OF 'FACTS'.
LEFT WING RADICALS COULD BE SUBSCRIBERS TO MOTHER JONES, THE NATION, JACOBIN, MONTHLY REVIEW, ETC ETC. MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF AMERICA OR THE NDP IN CANADA
These rioters, if not subdued, not only will destroy the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens but will also take more innocent lives. Many poor communities that still bear scars from past upheavals will be set back still further.
One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers. But local law enforcement in some cities desperately needs backup, while delusional politicians in other cities refuse to do what’s necessary to uphold the rule of law.

Activists attack the New York Times for giving ‘fascist’ Tom Cotton editorial to call for violence against protesters
June 3, 2020 By Sarah K. Burris- Commentary
Activists and commentators are furious that the New York Times gave the column width to Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who has been advocating the violent overthrow of the protesters if necessary.
While that move is illegal and a clear violation of the Constitution and Cotton’s oath of office, he took to Twitter to encourage murdering protesters instead of arresting them
“No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters,” Cotton tweeted this week

You think that Cotton is using the Times' neutered bothsidesism to call for domestic massacres but in fact the Times ownership and leadership are using Tom Cotton to launder their own desire for and advocacy of domestic massacres in the name of order and getting back to Cipriani.

Some elites have excused this orgy of violence in the spirit of radical chic,
ELITES DO EXIST THEY ARE KNOWN AS THE 1%, THE RULING CLASS,
THE CAPITALIST CLASS, THE BOURGEOIS, ETC. ETC. THAT IS WHO THE ELITE IS NOT LIBERAL (EDUCATED ABLE TO READ) LATTE DRINKING FOLKS LIKE ME
AND YOU
THE RADICAL CHIC IS OF COURSE A COOL REFERENCE TO TOM WOLFES BOOK ON THE LIBERAL NY SCENE IN THE SIXTIES WHERE PARTIES WERE HELD FOR THE BLACK PANTHERS IN THE COCKTAIL SET, ALL VERY CHI CHI AND ELITE
AND OF COURSE A REFERENCE BACK TO THE LAST TIME RACE RELATIONS WERE THIS FRONT AND CENTRE, THANKS TO THE BLACK PANTHERS.
calling it an understandable response to the wrongful death of George Floyd. Those excuses are built on a revolting moral equivalence of rioters and looters to peaceful, law-abiding protesters.
AH THE GOOD OLD FALSE EQUIVALENCY ARGUMENT.
A majority who seek to protest peacefully shouldn’t be confused with bands of miscreants.
TRUE BUT THE SENATOR HAS, DONE SO DELIBERATELY

TRUE IT IS CAUSED BY RIOT COPS
On the contrary, nihilist criminals are simply out for loot and the thrill of destruction,
TRUE NICE USE OF TURGENEV, VERY 19TH CENTURY RUSSIAN 'NIHILIST CRIMINALS. THIS LOADED PHRASE FROM LAST CENTURY;'THE THRILL OF DESTRUCTION' WHICH USUALLY CONFUSES IT WITH ANARCHISM WHICH IS DELIBERATE.
with cadres of left-wing radicals like antifa infiltrating protest marches to exploit Floyd’s death for their own anarchic purposes
NO ONE INFILTRATES PROTESTS YOU IMBECILE WE ORGANIZE THEM
LEFT WING RADICALS COULD BE SUBSCRIBERS TO MOTHER JONES, THE NATION, JACOBIN, MONTHLY REVIEW, ETC ETC. MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF AMERICA OR THE NDP IN CANADA
ANTIFA IS ANTI FASCIST AKTION ORIGINALLY A GERMAN ANTI NAZI RESISTANCE MOVEMENT IN GERMANY IN THE 1930'S
SO IF YOU OPPOSE THEM THAT OF COURSE MAKES YOU A FASCIST
OF COURSE ANTIFA IS OFTEN PART OF THE LARGER INTERNATIONAL ANARCHIST ORDER AS FRANK FIGLUZI OF MSNBC LIKES TO CLAIM, THIS IS FICTION USED BY
POLICE FORCES TO GAIN MORE FUNDING, IT GOES BACK TO THE 19TH CENTURY
WAR ON ANARCHISTS WHICH LED TO THE CREATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE ORGANIZATION, INTERPOL BY ANY OTHER NAME
THE MYTH OF ANTIFA BEING VIOLENT RIOTERS CAME FROM THE RIGHT WHO ARRIVE AT DEMOS WITH GUNS AND ARMOUR LOOKING LIKE ASSAULT TROOPS AND WHEN CONFRONTED BY PEOPLE WITH SHIELDS TO PROTECT DEMONSTRATORS (WHICH IS WHAT ANTIFA DOES) BEING CONFRONTED BY A LARGER ANTI FASCIST LEFT OPPOSITION THE WANKERS WENT ON ANOTHER
WHINE CAMPAIGN CLAIMING IN THE RIGHT WING PRESS THAT STOPPING FASCISTS IS SOME HOW AN ISSUE OF FREE SPEECH.
These rioters, if not subdued, not only will destroy the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens but will also take more innocent lives. Many poor communities that still bear scars from past upheavals will be set back still further.
WHAT RIOTERS? THERE ARE NO RIOTS WITHOUT RIOT COPS.
One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers.

The White House, June 1.Credit...Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
The pace of looting and disorder may fluctuate from night to night, but it’s past time to support local law enforcement with federal authority. Some governors have mobilized the National Guard, yet others refuse, and in some cases the rioters still outnumber the police and Guard combined. In these circumstances, the Insurrection Act authorizes the president to employ the military “or any other means” in “cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws.”
This venerable law, nearly as old as our republic itself, doesn’t amount to “martial law” or the end of democracy, as some excitable critics, ignorant of both the law and our history, have comically suggested. In fact, the federal government has a constitutional duty to the states to “protect each of them from domestic violence.” Throughout our history, presidents have exercised this authority on dozens of occasions to protect law-abiding citizens from disorder. Nor does it violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which constrains the military’s role in law enforcement but expressly excepts statutes such as the Insurrection Act.

For instance, during the 1950s and 1960s, Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson called out the military to disperse mobs that prevented school desegregation or threatened innocent lives and property. This happened in my own state. Gov. Orval Faubus, a racist Democrat, mobilized our National Guard in 1957 to obstruct desegregation at Little Rock Central High School. President Eisenhower federalized the Guard and called in the 101st Airborne in response. The failure to do so, he said, “would be tantamount to acquiescence in anarchy.”
ANOTHER FALSE EQUIVALENCY, THERE WERE NO RIOTS, GUARDSMEN STOOD STRAIGHT AND SILENT, THERE WAS NOT VIOLENCE WITH THE GUARD.
ALL RIOTS WERE COP RIOTS AGAINST BLACK DEMONSTRATORS DEMANDING THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS
More recently, President George H.W. Bush ordered the Army’s Seventh Infantry and 1,500 Marines to protect Los Angeles during race riots in 1992. He acknowledged his disgust at Rodney King’s treatment — “what I saw made me sick” — but he knew deadly rioting would only multiply the victims, of all races and from all walks of life.
Not surprisingly, public opinion is on the side of law enforcement and law and order, not insurrectionists. According to a recent poll, 58 percent of registered voters, including nearly half of Democrats and 37 percent of African-Americans, would support cities’ calling in the military to “address protests and demonstrations” that are in “response to the death of George Floyd.” That opinion may not appear often in chic salons, but widespread support for it is fact nonetheless.
The American people aren’t blind to injustices in our society, but they know that the most basic responsibility of government is to maintain public order and safety. In normal times, local law enforcement can uphold public order. But in rare moments, like ours today, more is needed, even if many politicians prefer to wring their hands while the country burns.
