Almost an Iraq style headline:

3 injured, 1 dead at insurgent checkpoint

Ya, you want to protest outside city hall, while still allowing people to go about their business? Sure, fill your boots, even if it’s some stupid thing based in nonsense. I won’t agree but not everyone has to agree with each other. But this roadblock shit? Fuck that, they should be getting shut down immediately and as violently as required. I have zero sympathy for anyone killed doing it, I only feel bad for the drivers who get fucked at this point.

The Executive branch does not have authority at the street level. If it did, Obama would have been an even greater disaster than he already was. As is we're still dealing with his legacy as the most divisive person, not just president, the most divisive person in history.

The tools you list are only available if the President declares an insurrection exists in the state. At present time, conditions do not warrant such a drastic measure.
