Idea of deploying 101st Airborne Division or any other military division into streets is an absolute disaster. De-escalation is needed, and good police forces know how to do this. We should be focused on "Protect and Serve" for Americans, not "Close With And Destroy" tough talk
We've seen law enforcement/public safety in many places helping de-escalate without heightening tensions and firing projectiles. There's been community policing for decades where we can work with partners to calm things, rolling in more hummers and tear gas will further agitate
public is already confused at what they see. Police in some jurisdictions dressed like its Baghdad during the surge, some look at video on social media or on their street and already assume its the military, no way to know what's police, national guard, DoD - a mess
Each of these entities have different training, rules of engagement, different understanding of the communities, likely have no preparation for the current scenario, never rehearsed it = recipe for disaster
