Violence is never a good thing, but protests are often a good thing. Our founders protected the right to protest for good reason. Treating peaceful protesters as though they are rioters undermines a sacred first principle of our freedom. pbs.org/newshour/show/portla…

Graffiti on a courthouse is a tiny fraction of the problem in this country compared to what the coronavirus is doing to us. Yet we’re spending a fraction of the resources on fighting coronavirus that we’re spending to fight people who would put graffiti on a federal courthouse.

The local government shouldn’t allow it. The state government shouldn’t allow it. And if they needed help, they had a legal right to call in the National Guard and ask for help. Do you think the federal troops going into those cities is doing anything more than creating violence?

I am retweeting an earlier thread using “went into” rather than “invading.” But to be clear, you can rest assured that if any Democratic president tried something like this, Republicans would be using the word “invading.”

When US troops go into another country people ask "What's the mission, and what's the exit plan?" So what's mission & exit plan with feds in our cities now? How is it quelling violence when it's creating so much of it? And does anyone really think they have plans to leave????
