I wish Erin Burnett would stop saying this is the first time this has been used since 1807. It was used in 1989 to stop looting after Hurricane Hugo and in 1992 in the LA riots - but at the request of the state Governors.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
As many news crews, streamers and people recording on their phones need to be brave and keep recording everything that is going on there. The world is watching in horror. Come the end of all this, there will be a lot of martyrs I dare say.
And honestly, whilst of course you don’t want to see escalation, it would be an even bigger tragedy for Trumps bullying tactics to win, for the riots to be quelled by overwhelming military force, and for things to return to the way they have been.
Can I say hand on heart that I would be prepared to literally put my life on the line if I was over there? I don’t know. But I hope there are enough people there braver than me to force real action and change

Sorry. It's just CNN I've been watching. Got in bed now though. Dread to think what will have happened come morning.
You'll be waiting a while as I can't be bothered going digging it back out. If you read the thread though you'll find it easily enough like a few others on here.
You didn't post it anywhere, I did dig back when you last claimed you did. You repeatedly corrected other poster's statements but have nothing to back your correction up with?
Alrighty, I'll keep waiting.
I would hope that parts of the military will stand up for this. They are loyal to the flag, not a tyrant.
Can I safely assume they only have bats because they all have criminal records? 
I didn't post it no but it was quite easy to find if you read through the tweet and comments. I'm not obliged to think for you. If you simply want to believe everything you see thrown up on twitter on face value be my guest.
So you claimed it without anything to base it on? Why?
Surely the local department didn't just say that when someone called up about it? If that's true then I don't know what to say. There's alot more wrong in America than racism alone. The whole country is broken.
What you on about? Stop trolling.
That’s fecking disgraceful, exactly what I feared from Trumps antics..
Actually the best thing to happen is for something violent to happen like Trump ordering the cavalry to deploy and for them to fight the protesters.
I know it's easy for me to say this behind a keyboard but for the change to succeed it has to go to that level so that the neutral people would also join to change the country.

People came in here making a claim, you repeatedly corrected them, it isn't too much to ask on what basis you did so? When asked you said dig back, when I did there was nothing. If it's so easy to find, mind doing so again? Because I sure couldn't.
Why they are wearing masks? It makes them look less masculine.
People made a claim from a ridiculous source. If those people had looked at it properly, as I did, then they'd have found the guy wasn't an FBI agent and the video being posted was over a year old. I simply pointed that out to which those same people acknowledged upon looking at what I did.
In answer to your question yes I do mind. You can go do that yourself.
I don't think it's really important if he isn't an FBI agent or not, racial profiling was still involved and that's the point.
So I'll just assume you made it up. You are no more trustworthy than that "ridiculous source" and accuse people challenging you of trolling. If you had any way of knowing if he was a FBI agent you would have surely mentioned it by now. I suspect you don't. You just put it out there. God knows why...
it’s a bit scary to be considering this since you are talking about civil war, with bunkerboi havink the nuclear launch codes. But yes. If anything I would actually hope the military would be more disciplined and reasonable, compared with the US police who at this point purely resemble vigilantes and gangs. I can’t imagine them feeling quite so tough if actual, legit army soldiers were telling them to stand down.
its a lame attempt at gaslighting.
I didn't say it wasn't the point? I just pointed out what was being said was misleading. It's @Abizzz who is obsessing over it. Not me.
I beg your pardon? How is it?
What a stupid post. Several other posters have already told you yet you still keep rambling on. Give it a rest.
Unsurprisingly, they all look massively unevolved
The worst of these coppers who are treating civilians like enemies are ex-military.
It’s extremely naive to say the least that a force as professional and heavily indoctrinated in the chain of command like the US army would side with the protesters. This isn’t Hungary 1956.

So you mean, the previous tweet isn't to be trusted? But this one definitely is?
Thanks, that was all I was asking for!
Keep waiting.

FBI is a small and irrelevant part of the story. The story is really about unlawful arrest, and IMO people over stressing the FBI connection are gaslighting.

They know each other you clown. Literally laughing about the situation with each other all over twitter and instagram.
I’m just pointing out that @TheReligion was truthful in both the man not being an FBI agent and in the video showing an incident from a year ago.
no problem and thanks
Hmmm, whilst I agree there's a bigger picture, I'm not sure you should be using the word "stressing" in an anti-gaslighting post.
Damn, the Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Washington is going off on Trump.
They are also from Philly
