It's not that anyone needs years to learn crowd control formations and tactics. It's that when one is trained in aggressive deadly warfare tactics, switching to non-deadly has been challenging in the previous attempts to use marines for that purpose.

I'm not scared of immigration. Ok you're turn. Why are you scared of the thing that has been happening consistently for 400+ years?

On the spot training is not the same as years of institutionalized training and practice that the police and Guard receive. They not trained to do that, either in a civilian environment.

The greater LA area is one of the biggest urban areas in the world and is an important part of the country. I lived for a few years in a cute rural Iowa town of 2000 people that was an hour away from the nearest highway. It was riddled with alcoholism, poverty, and drug use. These aren't things unique to big cities or southern California. If you're writing people off as unworthy because they have these things in their society, then you're writing off most of the country.

Riots happen in many big cities around the world and police are trained and accustomed to dealing with it as a periodic law enforcement issue.

Why are you scared of immigration? I love how you claim to have an "honest question" and then simply troll people in your own thread and hijack any attempt to talk about your own opinion lol. Its like even you know that you have nothing worthwhile to say.

It's a claim based on the circumstances. Marines have zero training in crowd control or policing practices. The ONLY POSSIBLE reason to include then is as a provocation. Sure once trump turned it into a national spectacle it ramped back up.

Sure it is, one day after announcing the deployment, trump himself had a giant tweet about how the rioting had calmed down, claiming it was because of his troops, even though none of them were there yet.

Focus little buddy. Why in your addled brain do you think that immigration is anything but a net positive for the country?

Weak argument considering the rioting was calmed down by LAPD before the guard and marines were even deployed, and that the attention drawn by the deliberately antagonistic use of these troops seems designed to illicit more rioting. If the intent was to protect federal personnel, deliberately provoking more rioting potentially on a far larger nationwide scale just puts more of them at risk.

If trump is allowed to bypass the immigration courts entirely, as he has been trying to do for months, then who is to know how long someone has been in the country? With no judicial oversight of their process, what's to stop them from next sending US citizens to these foreign concentration camps?

Riots are a normal part of law enforcement in many big cities and there was nothing noteworthy about the level of rioting in LA.

I see your presence here is still as pointless and impotent as ever.

If you've been paying attention you'd know that Trump has been chipping away at immigration courts and trying to bypass them entirely. The whole point of due process in a law-based society is to prevent capricious behavior by those in power. If person can be arrested, declared illegal, declared a gang member etc and then immediately sent off to a concentation camp in a foreign puppet dictatorship, that's what no due process looks like and is fairly close to the current situation.
