>When Trump tweeted out in May that “when the looting starts the shooting starts,” this was a direct call for violence. Sorry FTP, y'all need to learn the law. In most (if not all) states, rioting is a felony that law enforcement is authorized to suppress with deadly force. It typically inherited its verbiage from Blackstone's Commentaries to include mutiny and insurrection and stipulates two things: 1) Law enforcement has to inform the mob that they're engaged in an unlawful assembly and must disperse. 2) Law enforcement can then shoot anyone who fails to disperse. Not arrest, prosecute, try, convict, and jail. Shoot. On. The. Spot. Trump's tweet is no more a call to violence than "When an axe murderer hacks down your bedroom door, the shooting starts." Yeah, it does, and you dont need a trial. The law provides an affirmative defense for summary use of deadly force.
