> Indeed it was a curfew violation. That is not a valid reason to illegally use the might of the US military.

Is that a law you can cite or your opinion? I’m really asking, IDK

Playing devil's advocate, didn't they call in the national guard though? That's what the national guard is. I guess I am not surprised at seeing military grade machines.

The national guard has a bad track record, but at least it is legal and their job. The US military cannot legally do this.

The devil seems to be doing just fine without any help these days.

Last night they attempted to burn a church directly across from the White House. These are domestic acts of terror. The military's highest responsibility is to protect the nation.

Arson is a crime, but a crime worthy of the US military? That feels insane.

The choppers were by all accounts being used against groups of peaceful protesters who were nowhere near the church in question. They were not the ones involved in the arson.
