History tells us that many presidents have a number of times activated the military, and sent troops into various states. Thus folks should not become confused by media and Dem claims that Trump's actions for L.A. are unusual, or are illegal. Such false claims should be ignored.

Summary, quotes:

< 1861 The Civil War, President Lincoln, six state militias

< 1957-58 Desegregation of Little Rock, Arkansas, Eisenhower

< 1962 Integration of University of Mississippi, JFK

< 1963 Integration of University of Alabama, JFK

< 1965 MLK’s March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, Lyndon Johnson

< The Detroit Uprising of 1967, “Pillage, looting, murder, and arson have nothing to do with civil rights,” said Lyndon Johnson.

< 1968 Riots Following the Assassination of MLK, Lyndon Johnson

< Cuban Refugee Crisis of 1980, Jimmy Carter, Coast Guard Reserves

< The 1992 Rodney King Riots in L.A., George H.W. Bush

AND now Trump. Yet the media has already been falsely trying to blame Trump for sending the Marines and the National Guard into L.A. And the precedents have occurred under both major political parties in the White House.

Such false media claims should be ignored.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Because I find this topic so horribly disturbing--not only the riots but also the Newsome's completely irresponsible and likely illegal actions in response, I'm trying to keep my involvement in these discussions to a bare minimum, but I see bad things on the horizon. When a state governor, city mayor, and Congresswoman (Maxine Waters) publicly speak out against law and order in the manner in which they've done, this bodes poorly for the state, and possibly the country.
