LA protests: US court allows Trump to keep control of California national guard while lawsuit proceeds

6. What is the definition of a riot?

The People have a right to peacefully assemble. Sure, there were cars burning, some property damage, I guess (who did that?), but by no means did we need Federalized troops and active-duty Marines out there pushing the protesters back. Protesters, not rioters. Trump's pronouncements that the whole city would have burned down is utter nonsense. The media showed the same three cars over and over again, while the cops stood down and watched.

If this snowballs, rump will then have the blueprint for quelling dissent with brute force. We are going to turn into Tiananmen Square. From brave Chinese to Ukrainian farmers, we have examples to follow. The nonviolent protests from the 60s worked well on No Kings Day. The 17th is coming up in July. Do it again, only bigger. It has to increase, not decrease.
