Once
again I am posting something to my Writing Workshop blog and not posting to
social media (yet), but I want to get this up today (July 23, 2020) before it
becomes “old news” or a foregone conclusion. But I am not interested in the typical social media fracas.
Questions
I have About the Deployment of Federal Agents/Troops to US Cities
1.
Is
this a prelude (intentional or unintentional) to an “emergency” declaration of
martial law and the suspending of the November election?
2.
Who
are these agents/troops? Under whose command or jurisdiction? Law enforcement
or military?
3.
Any
or all recruited just for this purpose? If so from what population?
4.
Do
they believe in what they are doing or are the “just following orders?” The Nuremburg
Trials clearly established that “following orders” does not excuse immoral or
illegal acts.
5.
If,
after the fact, these actions were officially found to be illegal or immoral,
would those who carried them out on the ground be held accountable as well as
those who gave the orders?
6. If the rationale for sending these agents/troops is to deal with street violence in these cities, how does detaining peaceful demonstrators help with that?
