I asked for neither your Opinion,
your Acceptance
nor your Permission.

States are responsible for policing the citizens of their cities. Federal armed forces are for protecting the nation. If we want to utilize federal forces to police citizens then states should have a say. I don't see any reason why we can't have that conversation. Right now the executive branch is overreaching and forcing itself on the states.
I can't help notice how you didn't answer the extremely simple question... weird...
But you are wrong on multiple levels of your post.
The President absolutely has the power to use federal forces in states.. it's called the Insurrection Act and it's been law for over 200 years. Multiple Presidents used it.. were they "dictators" too or does that only count when President Trump does it because he's Hitler?
And this idea that the states get a say is retarded. Simply put: They don't. Federal law doesn't magically stop at a blue state's borders and federal agencies don't need a special pink permission slip from a mayor or a governor.
So stop with the "ZOMG OVERREACH!" stupidity. It's called the Constitution, the law, and precedent. It's all there.
Its down from what it was 5 years ago. But thats not the point.
The army isn't recruited to do policing of citizens. Thats not what it's for. Cities and states deal with local policing.
I'd ask the enlisted and veteran members of this board their opinions on federal forces policing day to day crime in America?
