President Trump ordered military support for local police to "prevent crime," drawing immediate backlash over potential civil rights violations.

I got this from reddit. In one of the comments I found this about Washington state: Governor Bob Ferguson signed into law a bill that restricts out-of-state military forces from entering Washington. House Bill 1321….

I suggest we write our local governments to enact the same type of law before it is too late.

    If you’re not already, I advise you to be white and male pretty quick. This is definitely a prelude to martial law.

    Crime is whatever he says it is I guess, and includes but is not limited to having the wrong skin color.

    The slippery slope has arrived. WTAF?? My heart is with my American friends who are having to live through this nightmare. My Canadian heart is thankful that we have Carney at the helm for the time being. I’m wishing the best for the Australian’s upcoming election (elbows up, mates!). Sadly, the relief from stress of having Carney win the election has been short lived.

    My understanding is that the washington law has an exemption for troops activated by the president or something. So it is mostly toothless. But it is symbolic. And in this case that is worth something.

    So local police will now have access to nukes?

    Because at this point that’s almost the only thing they don’t have yet.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
