Will The Military Become The Police? - 13

Will the real Uncle Sam please stand up ...
In this series (which I suspect has been seen as hyperbole by those who are infected with the "it can't happen here cognitive virus") the issue of the effects of disobeying or ignoring the wisdom and understanding of our founders has been considered.

One post in the series went so far as to list vast amounts of military war equipment that was being sent to every state and county around the country (Will The Military Become The Police? - 10, September 9, 2014).

All that was missing, in terms of using that equipment against protestors, was the good judgment of officials in states, counties, the military, and the White House.

That may no longer be the case:
"He specifically called on governors across the country to deploy the National Guard and vowed to deploy the U.S. military if states refused to comply.

'Mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence ['domination'] until the violence has been quelled,' Trump said."
(Donald Trump Vows To Crack Down On Anti-Racist Protests In Surreal Rose Garden Speech, emphasis added).

The military's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff marched along behind the president, together with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense.

This is as close as it gets.
