This is an arrogantly sloppy false flag event.

21. why would that justify a government takeover?

...which is what is being discussed here?

What justifies Donald Trump deciding he knows better then the governors, mayors, city councils, and local police how to manage their crime?

All of those were actually elected by the majority of residents to manage their own affairs.

What is superior about the federal government who can't even manage to keep rioters who attacked the actual nation's Capitol in jail- whose president pardoned around 200 people accused of assaulting police; whose president pardoned the founder of the underground illicit drugs marketplace Silk Road during the first two days of his new administration; pardoned two police officers who were convicted in the 2020 murder of Karon Hylton-Brown, a 20-year-old Black man...

We're supposed to believe that a president, whose criminals that he's pardoned, willy nilly, just keep committing crimes, is some kind of crime-fighter?

The man convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, essentially election fraud, who is still lying about his crimes?

The man who stile national security documents, many still unaccounted for and presumed missing?

The man found liable for fraud for inflating his net worth to dupe lenders?

The man found liable for defaming and sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll?

What part of this says Donald Trump is legitimately concerned about crime in the Democratic cities he's invading and occupying with armed troops?

How many more criminals is Donald Trump going to release after they're caught by police, or after they're convicted?
