Subject: Re: War ravaged Portland
But we agree: Portland is totally peaceful and there's nooooooooo problems at all!

All cities, small and large, have problems. The larger the city, the more complex the issues.

However, the real question is why are armed military troops being sent to American cities for policing duty (something they were never trained for) when they were never requested by the local police, the city mayor, or the state governor?

Except for very specific reasons (natural disaster, etc.), it’s just plain un-American.
