Martial law will not accomplish one thing. It would only serve to hand those who want to start some sort of war between groups the fuel they have been itching for.

The voice the nation is hungry for is reasonable, concerned, understanding national leadership that says to law enforcement its time to detain all of the officers involved while the investigation moves forward and to protesters "we hear you" and will convene a commission to address law enforcement excessive use of force and lethal tactics against unarmed citizens....

Until there is meaningful engagement NOTHING will stop protest......

Martial Law - What happened at Kent State University must never happen again.

I had understood that all during the filming of Gunsmoke he was in much pain from an injury and that he couldn't stand or walk for any sustained length of time

That's why Matt was always seen in his office or leaning up against the bar in the saloon and Dennis Weaver had to come running with a limp yelling "Mr. Dillon, Mr. Dillon!"... then the cameras moved on to the next scene shot

I know it's off topic but I still watch Gunsmoke. The stories are mature, good acting and good story line. Zero special effects.

They should have shut this down the first night when the the protesters turned into a rioting, destructive mob. But NO they let it go on night after night until it spread to the entire country. Mobs, their selfies, clubs and matches.

I disagree with Marshal Law at this point. What is needed first is for the leaders of these cities to step up and allow the enforcers to do their jobs and clear this mess out without fear of repercussions for lawful response. The governors and Mayors of these states and cities have succombed to common sense because of the fear that they will lose votes. I got news for them, They are losing votes every second they delay putting an end to this violence. The point is made, let the people vote and stop voting to repeat the same response you constantly get.
