| The good insurrection vs the bad protest |
«IS THE UNREST in Los Angeles a one-off? Or is it the beginning of a summer of unrest, and of crackdowns by President Donald Trump, who has no patience for protesters in Democratic cities? (...)
On June 9th the Pentagon announced the deployment of hundreds of marines to the city to backstop the National Guard. That is unwise. Marines are not experienced in law enforcement. As the defence secretary likes to point out, soldiers are trained to kill.
On the contrary, when the president who pardoned his own Capitol-charging insurrectionists sends in troops to take on Democrat-supporting Angelenos, his loyalists are more likely to put aside their worries about the economy or the fuss surrounding the ex-DOGE boss, Elon Musk. The danger is that Mr Trump tries this tactic in other Democratic strongholds, too.»
