Because they’ve been slowly sounding out how much they could get away with for a long time: pushing the envelope a little bit further, seeing what the response is, and then pushing it some more then they see they can get away with it.
A few protests can be handled by cops, what they’re scared of is a repeat of the BLM uprisings. They’re trying to get ahead of the problem before it spreads to every city.
BLM spread because of police brutality and overreactions. If they are trying to “get ahead of it” by escalating into extreme violence quickly it will only escalate the protests faster.
The way to “get ahead” of BLM and actually subvert it is to do what Joe Biden and the Democrats did. Coopt the peaceful elements of the movement into the corporate, NGO and DNC controlled sphere, alienate and isolate the radicals, give promises of reforms and then never do anything. Every heavy handed thing the Trump administration did only made the protests in 2020 worse for them and empowered the radicals.
Some of the cities are sanctuary cities and the mayors have ordered the local PD to stand down and not join ICE/DHS.
Bringing in the National Guard is a way to circumvent that and get ICE reinforcements without having to do the slow legal confrontations to dismantle what’s left of sanctuary cities
They know that as the empire continues to fall and their overreach begins to affect more lives, protests will grow.
The standard pigs can handle what we have now, they can’t handle what is to come.
Whether this move is to pre-empt a coming change of the “big beautiful bill” that guts medicare/medicaid and other social programs, an even broader “sweeping net” policy on immigration, direct hostilities with Iran/China, something else, or all of the above…
They are predicting a broad national outrage over something.
No, they didn’t need to to this, LAPD was reported the protests as nonviolent before the national guard was deployed. This is the Lil Donnie’s personal revenge against LA and California, and I’ll bet it’s just the start.
And? Liberal goldfish mind can’t remember all the nonviolent protests crushed in just the last couple years alone?
Making this out to be “Lil Donnie’s personal revenge against LA and California, and I’ll bet it’s just the start” is why im calling you a lib. Like you think idf trump dies today that’s it? You people are out of your fucking minds when i see you say shit like it’s “about” “making him king” like jfc
Of course I don’t think this ends if he dies, and yes, I am aware of other peaceful protests getting crushed, I’ve been at of them myself.
It’s very obviously more than just his personal revenge, but its a silver lining for him and yes, he does want to suspend election through marshall law, it’s in their published plan.
Can we stop with the stupid personal attacks and talk about the facts like adults?
God damn it, its not about controlling protests. Its about squashing resistance. They know that in LA county the cops are not going to help them detain people. They want to send people who DONT live there and have NO connection to the people and the place. So they are INDIFFERENT and follow orders. They are going to make an example of LA so no other city gets inspired by LAs resistance.
Yeah that’s obvious, I just wasn’t mentioning all that, and I’d go a step further: this is about declaring “open rebellion” and responding with marshal law and suspension if elections. It is laid out exactly that way in the Project 2025 planning documents.
My initial comment was just pointing out that the reason stated for deploying nation guard was complete bullshit, but that’s to be expected from the liar and chief.
Remember! They wouldn’t do this if they didn’t think they had to - this government action comes from a place of weakness, not strength.
No it comes from long experience of knowing they will get away with it.
Then why didn’t they do it before? Or sooner?
There’s a reason they delayed doing this.
Because they’ve been slowly sounding out how much they could get away with for a long time: pushing the envelope a little bit further, seeing what the response is, and then pushing it some more then they see they can get away with it.
They don’t have to, though. There’s a vast army of pigs in California. Way more than enough to handle protests of this scale.
They’re doing this because they want to.

I didn’t say it would work, I’m just saying that this is their plan. Make people too afraid to protest.
That’s clearly their plan for the anti-genocide protests, after all.
Well, it implies they don’t think they can trust the vast army of pigs in California to carry out their plans, right?

This is likely a part of the Authoritarian plan, as opposed to a response to loss of control.
It’s not about a loss of control, it’s about maintaining control to prevent a loss of control. They don’t want another BLM summer.
I still think that they have been looking for an excuse, in order to change the paradigm in a fundamental way.

Ok liberal
I am simply pointing out a fact: LAPD issued a report yesterday afternoon stating the protests were nonviolent. Take it or leave it tankie.
And then what? Did they immediately follow it up with a threat, in true cop fashion? They did? Nice, I feel safe and appreciated already

Guys, guys, did you know THERE’S A DANG CHEETO! IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
Username definitely checks out.
Shitlib instance checks out, can’t wait to never see a lemm.ee poster again
Then I guess I’ll just have to join Hexbear so I can continue this beautiful exchange of ideas.
Nah we have standards here
careful, if you do that you might learn something
Unironically you would be happier and I would be happy for you
.ee checks out
They need to do this to maintain authority and control. I don’t mean they need to do this for public safety or anything.
Sure, sure. It’s also to incite further action so they can implement marshal law and suspend elections.
inciting a civil war isn’t what a government that is in control tries to do
Usually, you would be correct. This government is a little different.
…for reasons that don’t bear explaining, apparently
