 This video has less AI-generated content but it goes a long way towards
 showing that these protests are anything but peaceful. Of course,
 knowing the way the Left loves to redefine terms, maybe setting police
 cars and Waymos on fire and looting stores is now deemed peaceful
 protest....
 
 Given the numbers of rioters, it now makes sense to me that this is more
 than the police can handle on their own. Calling in the National Guard
 makes sense now. I still haven't heard why the Marines got called in; I
 would have thought the obvious thing to do was deploy more National
 Guard if the initial deployment wasn't enough.

 I have to admit to being curious about why Waymos seem to be getting
 singled out for destruction perhaps as much or even more than police cars.
 

 
Supposedly it's because they are seen as surveillance vehicles. I
guess the cameras are recording all the time
