Antifa LMAO a bunch of tee shirt (went to a riot and all I got was this lousy Tee) wearing window smashers. Now that SkinHead, Tiki Torch Carrying (nice Gilligan Island's touch), Locked and Loaded gang that was down in Charlottesville I'll get outta the way of.
No, you have the right to ignore So back to history, you first example is flawed as Washington was not president and it was military man against military man. 2nd example, whiskey tax, they raised a force to collect taxes but no conflict occurred, nobody got shot. Going back that far is hopeless in any case as there was not a clear idea of police yet, everything was sorted with militia and army. The first police department was after 1840. 3rd example is at least in modernity but again, ex military men vs military and police. With all of 2 deaths day one and this shooting was not ordered by Hoover even if he did burn their camp tents afterwards. And then we are back to 1878 when police existed as well was army and the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act Which is the law that matters now and the one Trump has to have a way around, not in a single geographical location like Little Rock but on a national level..
“When the history of the Trump presidency is written, the clash with protesters that preceded President Trump’s walk across Lafayette Square may be remembered as one of its defining moments.” The New York Times has the definitive account on how it came together.
A good leader is one who knows when to listen and when to shut up. Trump, with all his tweets, wants to be heard rather than to listen. His priority is more with opportunistic photo-ops than to be with people who are hurting. You don't need to be a liberal or a conservative to show empathy. Why is that so hard to understand?
Trump is a good leader. The photo-op was a nice thing. We have different views, same as the people of this country.
