BREAKING: The Trump administration just ordered the Army to put active-duty military units on the ready to deploy to Minneapolis in response to protests of the murder of George Floyd by local police — under an authority that hasn’t been used in nearly thirty years.
This action would needlessly escalate the situation, and endanger everyone involved — from civilian protestors to our active-duty component. Readying active-duty troops to deploy on U.S. soil — with NO request from state and local officials — would also be an unprecedented abuse by our wanna-be authoritarian President.
If Donald Trump executes these orders, he would be deploying American soldiers against American citizens on American soil. All while the President makes the situation more dangerous by stoking racial tensions and encouraging violence via his disgusting tweets.
