Governor sending Guard Troops to DC

I notice the headline in the paper this morning.

https://www.newstribune.com/news/missouri/story/2020/jun/04/missouri-national-guard-sending-300-troops-dc/829729/

Quote from the article:
"When you see a Guardsman, please know that we care about you, we care about each other, we care about our collective freedom to demonstrate peacefully, and we care about protecting life and property," he said.

I'd say if they cared they wouldn't send the troops.

The term, actions speak louder than words, will be the judge of that.

We will believe it when we see that.

So far, the notion that cops are there to serve and protect has been nullified by actions and is turning into, "To Attack and Persecute." The squad cars should have that written on them.

We had better witness the Guardsman behaving in ways that contrast that, every time and all the time.

We will be watching.
