All it will take for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing. All that is necessary for the forces of evil to take root in the world is for enough good men to do nothing. All that is needed for the forces of evil to succeed is for enough good men to remain silent.

Edmund Burke

[Hayek1957]

The Posse Comitatus Act (1878) restricts the actions of the Federal Government to enforce domestic law and policies within the United States. This act is used in conjunction with the Insurrection Act (1807) which ensures that the Feds cannot intervene without without the consent of that state’s governor or legislators.

The Feds can still intervene via FBI and all of the other federal agencies which is apparently what is being done now.

Maybe the local law enforcement should take action to quell these outbreaks first.

None of this maters if they are protecting the destruction of Federal property.

Paul, you'll soon learn you're just in their way and an obstacle to their objectives.

The parents of these spoiled kids must be so proud. If you don't correct the child when they do something wrong they will continue being bad.
These mayors/governors have lost control of their children.

I don't believe that local politicians can release federal prisoners.

Hey, I pay for those federal buildings and they need to be protected

...

even police SWAT teams and riot control teams aren't trained or adequately staffed to deal with what is going on in these big cities

the Feds are caught between a rock and a hard place on this one...this is a lose/lose situation for them

the mayors are clue-less...they are totally unable to deal with this...they're just sitting back watching their cities burn and get trashed hoping it all just goes away

It takes courage to be a leader...not seeing much courage outside of Texas right now

And it's not just here in the good old U S of A

Almost without exception, riots in other parts of the globe are not related to the ongoing Marxist takedown of the United States. They are occurring for other reasons, from the "yellow vest" protests in Paris, to Indonesian protests against a draconian criminal code, to CCP crack down on Hong Kong. These people never heard of George Floyd. That event was the "trigger" for this Marxist movement.

DIFFICULT … when they are being ordered to "stand down" by the authorities in these cesspools.

The mayors have already done this and they are local.
