Officers ordered to stand down and allow vandalism and desecration of memorial

[Irving]

What happens when armed citizens band together and decide that if the police won't do there job to protect life and property they will?

I think if armed citizens band together to prevent protesters from throwing paint, then the problem will have gone out of control a long time ago.

So you are saying you believe this will never go beyond paint throwing. I doubt anybody here is going shoot someone for throwing paint. My point is if it is allowed to "escalate" how many people are going to step in to protect their life and property when the police won't, and what does that look like?
