I believe that various examples of this and numerous people being killed invalidates the claim that the national guard shouldn't be on the street with clear curfews to protect life.

I agree that it is a dangerous situation and also want to protect lives and the rights of citizens.

Are safety and the right to peacefully assemble so at odds?

The national guard protecting the lives and rights of its citizens is a far cry from being dominated as a part of a battle space.

If we consider that there may be substance to other viewpoints as opposed to only opposition to our own we could work at addressing some of the root or common goals instead of focusing on division.

Why don’t states and or citizens feel comfortable utilizing the national guard?

Is it reasonable to fear an escalation which may place the American people and their constitutional rights in jeopardy?

Are there approaches that would deescalate the situation that should be favored over those which risk even greater division (in particular between the citizens and the military )?

I mean establishing a curfew during the night, not stopping peaceful protest.

>>bobmcb+0M1
So do you advocate for the means by which peaceful protestors (and press) have been dealt with after curfew? Is assault a reasonable response to curfew breaking?

Looters should be assaulted instead of arrested? Where is the due process?

People have been assaulted on their own porches, is any of this resolving the situation or escalating it at the cost of the rights and well being of the citizenry?
