Democrates can again taking credit for being idiots; suggesting that the military be unarmed when trying to quell riots.



Gen. Milley Says Soldiers Sent to DC Amid Protests Were Given Bayonets

Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) and Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) sent a letter to Milley on June 22 with concerns about the reported use of bayonets.

“The escalation and violence leading up to and following those killings included those same troops meeting peaceful demonstrators with bayonets,” they wrote.

However, Milley did not say in his response letter that bayonets would not be used in the future for domestic protests.

In a statement to the AP on Thursday, the two representatives said, “While we are grateful for General Milley’s responses to our questions concerning the arming of troops with bayonets for potential deployment against protesters, we were disappointed he was not willing to commit to banning the practice.”

“We recognize the necessity of the Joint Force preserving flexibility to respond to varying circumstances, but it is difficult for us to imagine a circumstance which could necessitate or justify the deployment of bayonets against American civilians,” the representatives added.

Protests have broken out across the country for over a month over civil unrest following the death of Floyd, who died in Minneapolis police custody after a police officer pinned his knee into Floyd’s neck on May 25.
