Damn they’re really going after Cubans even though they tend to swing really conservative. They really are just letting the rascism get before political strategy.

I feel like I also saw them just clearing out people on the street at night, although it’s hard to tell with all the different kinds of police there. I also remember CHP being involved with the clearing out of protestors back when the UCLA encampment was happening. So they can definitely be involved with other things so it would be nice to see the governor back his words up with action from any law enforcement he has control over.

California Highway Patrol has been at these protests doing crowd control so if those are under the governor it would be nice if he used those to help protestors or better yet sent them home.

I think the problem though is neither side is going to back down which means clashes between troops/police is going to keep escalating until someone at one of these events pushes things too far and the troops/police end up firing on people. Especially as they are most likely going to start trying to push to end the protests through arrests rather then just focusing on control which will just antagonize people more. Realistically what other end scenario is there to this if Trump keeps throwing gasoline on the fire? It’s either gonna be a brutal crackdown on the protests with “less then lethal” weapons done by the military or end up being a bloodbath. Either way both outcomes would be horrifying to see happening in America, dictators use the military to put down protests and if we let that happen without any kind of severe backlash then we’re pretty much fucked.
