Military trucks carrying troops have pulled onto White House grounds
Brian Bennett ✔ @ByBrianBennett (Time Magazine)
At 5:05 pm, I counted 9 two and a half ton military trucks carrying troops in tan uniforms and helmets pull off 17th Street into the White House grounds.

1. They Will Kill Everyone In Order To Protect Their Cult Leader
**** ALL THOSE COPS PROTECTING THAT MOTHER ****ER.
I'ce been reading reports all over facebook and twitter about all the random shootings the military and police are doing into peaceful crowds..
Not one ****ing photo of any injuries more than bruising- probably from pepper balls.

3. Not cops
Military personnel who must obey his orders.

44. I believe they won't
I am suspect I may have more familiarity with members of the military than you.
I am referring of course to protesters outside the grounds. If they come into WH grounds the rules change.

53. I don't think that the crowd outside will try to storm the White House. nt

64. Of course not
My fear is for the peaceful protesters. I remember Kent State.
That's really what the left is pushing for.

10. It is my understanding that the military
cannot be used on our soil in that manner.
Am I wrong?
And in this case, does it matter?
Their understanding of law is so overwhelming...

11. I remember in 1974 when people worried Nixon would pull shit like this.
My faith in there being an election in November is waning.

@barbarastarrcnn
Just in: Active duty military police battalion (200-250 MPs) now in process of deploying to DC could be in place by tonight: defense officials. Mission is security not law enforcement. Two defense officials said troops will be coming from Fort Bragg North Carolina.

They wear desert camo
We got rid of the tan shit in 2005.

28. Holy shit, this is just freaking unbelievable.
Man on man, what have we come to, America? I so thought we were better than to elect drumpf, I keep thinking this can't get worse and yet it does! I fear for the people on the streets tonight and hope most of the assholes causing violence on purpose stay home, although I expect the opposite. I hope the innocents can stay safe and away from the nightmare I fear will be reality on the streets of DC tonight.

30. I thought they could not use the US military inside the US!
I hope a reliable network will explain the difference, maybe thru a reputable retired military person. I know we can’t count on any active military colonels or generals since they would have their head handed to them if they came on and explained to the American people. Trump would not like it.

62. It does make him look weak.
Remember when hundreds of righties were outside the White House with guns and President Obama and the Secret Service carried on as normal. I can't see the SS going for something like this unless Trump demanded it.
