Just a heads up but the “tear gas and rubber bullets” story is a trial run for a smear campaign about Trump ordering the guard/military to deliberately gun down “protesters”
It won’t matter that the first example is likely to be an armed rioter attacking law enforcement

Biden’s campaign have sowed a deliberate seed as well that it is possible simple to shoot to wound in a life threatening crisis situation, ergo, any death is a deliberate choice. Every LE officer knows that’s ridiculous. That won’t matter either
The “evidence” will be hearsay, cropped pictures, edited videos, wrapped in outrage and raw emotion. Any questioning of it will be denounced. Repetition will be used to make the story appear definitive
No evidence will be provided that Trump ever ordered anything. Instead his tweets will have “set a tone” or an “atmosphere” or it was a “dog whistle” only the military can hear
Then the story will move quickly onto what should be done about this heinous crime? That’s probably day two *at the latest*. Then the media moves into chasing comments about the story. Quotes of people outraged, signing petitions, all to reinforce it
Then squish Republicans will denounce what “happened” (even though nobody will know) and call for an investigation of something they’ve prejudged by denouncing. The media will say no investigation is needed, it’s all on video (even if it’s not on video), we demand action instead.
This outrage campaign will go on for days and be used as gasoline fuel to justify even more homes and businesses being destroyed, lives being wrecked, innocent people assaulted and killed, and yes, the right to protest and assemble unfortunately infringed as collateral damage
Eventually, the investigation will likely find the shooting either didn’t even happen, or was justified. This will be called a whitewash and will in fact prove “systemic racism”. This is a never ending loop. Won’t matter if the military shooter was black or Hispanic either.
In the unlikely event there was something wrong with the incident, no matter how little, that will instead prove the case that Trump is a murderer, because he’s Commander in Chief. How did a systemically racist system give the right result? Because the protests forced it. Perfect
Then an independent investigation probably funded by the same people who fund Fusion GPS will announce it has proven Trump “may” have ordered the shooting “if” it happened, and refuse to produce any evidence. The parts in quotes will be removed from any media headlines
Statistically speaking, many people a week are shot & injured by law enforcement trained to operate in an urban environment enforcing domestic laws. Add in the military in unfamiliar territory & widespread chaos and rioting, it’s a recipe for this scenario playing out
Plus add to the mix ongoing shootings by other criminals, or gangs, or citizens in justified shoots protecting their property and lives, you’ve got a big pool of shooting incidents to pick from. Antifa and the media only need *one*, and it doesn’t even have to be true to work
Those interested in maintaining law and order and informing the citizenry of the facts need to consider how to counter this campaign, because if the military deploy, it is coming - it’s only a matter of time

And just to be clear, the preferred scenario is that the local governors and mayors deal with the situation in conjunction with federal authorities, get the rioters off the streets and avoid the need to deploy the military in the first place
