And they basically did nothing but stand around. I think they arrested one guy? And that one guy was most likely being an asshole and pushed his luck past the brink. Also, there was only 700 of them.

Yes, it was an egregiously corrupt use of the military, but that’s not even close to using weapons of war on an American city.

Such an asshole…
