This is clearly a coordinated strategy from the White House. It is irresponsible and it is escalating an already tense situation. Remove your heightened troop presence now.

Does asking rioters to leave work?

You ignorant twits......continue to let violence ruin your city and state. I feel horrible for those God fearing business and homeowners who love there. Trump has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with your situation.. worked out great for Minnesota and Seattle......

They need to FORCE federal troops to leave.

Why doesn't the Governor call in the National Guard, it's an invading occupying force that needs to be expelled. States rights ain't that right Republicans?

Mar, when the state government fails to protect legal taxpaying citizens then the Federal government has to step in. The concept to let people commit crimes because they are antisocial isn't a reason to put people who don't agree with them in danger.
