Only like 24 hours too late

Yeah, no idea why they weren't prepared at all. I'd say "Trump", but DC's mayor is a democrat

Trump turned down the National Guard request originally, but I don't know what power he has over the FBI in this scenario.

I don't think the president has that much power over what the FBI does, tbh

Some supervisor or Sergeant is going to say, fuck it all and make an order.
Things will play out, and Trump's commands will be forgotten.

Ultimately this, no one is required to follow through with an unlawful order.

Well yeah that's why I'm curious, because a bunch of these Trump chuds were already all over DC yesterday so that's why I don't really understand why these FBI guys were only deployed significantly late today after shit got real bad.

Yeah that's what I'm confused about, doesn't really make much sense.

FBI is under the command of the DoJ so he has no direct control. NG is under the command of the state governors and the president is the DC governor but Virginia was kind enough to lend DC theirs.

right wing counter-protest groups as well as antimask protests have been given very long leashes all year. people seem to have also forgotten groups were storming state legislature offices and barging in chanting when the stop the count shit was going on this year and quietly being ushered out or ignored

the cops mostly have viewed these guys as allies all this time

So it really was Trump's call as to whether to send in the NG?

At least it's the fucks in Washington who are being inconvenienced.

I would have actually respected the BLM protests if this is what they were, instead of burning down mom and pop shops.
