Shocking no one Trump tweets he won't go to Biden's inauguration, sealing his reputation as the world's biggest toddler.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNational Guard in DC is under the control of the Secretary of Defense
"The Pentagon placed tight limits on the D.C. National Guard ahead of pro-Trump protests this week, trying to ensure the use of military force remained constrained, as the Guard carried out a narrow, unarmed mission requested by the city’s mayor to help handle traffic ahead of planned protests.
In memos issued Monday and Tuesday in response to a request from the D.C. mayor, the Pentagon prohibited the District’s guardsmen from receiving ammunition or riot gear, interacting with protesters unless necessary for self-defense, sharing equipment with local law enforcement, or using Guard surveillance and air assets without the defense secretary’s explicit sign-off, according to officials familiar with the orders. The limits were established because the Guard hadn’t been asked to assist with crowd or riot control.
The D.C. Guard was also told it would be allowed to deploy a quick-reaction force only as a measure of last resort, the officials said."

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAnd the Pentagon placed limits on them, not wanting to look like the same overkill with BLM. It was an epic mistake. I know Capitol police have also come under fire, but consider that Trumpers have had two other rallies since November that were both flops - a few bar fights and stabbings but both barely attended and no impact. They wrongly assumed this would be similar.
