POLICE SHOULD NEVER, EVER.  SURRENDER THEIR PRECINCT. USE THE NECESSARY FORCE TO DEFEND CITY PROPERTY.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

I am ashamed of the Minneapolis and Seattle Police Department and the other city police departments that turn tail and run, especially  when they abandon and surrender their police stations. They say they fear they will get hurt? Come on. That comes with the job. Every individual has  the right to defend their home. These precincts and stations are the officers homes.  Following the recent give-a-way of the East police precinct in Seattle, the chief said it was not her decision to give up the station. WOW! Talk about passing the buck.Well, who's decision was IT to surrender a police station?

Folks, a police station, full of  armed police officers that has an arsenal of  additional weapons at hand, who have communication with other police precincts throughout the city of Seattle and other surrounding cities and who can request backup and yet, they do NOTHING except surrender their ground to a DOMESTIC TERRORIST mob. It's DISGUSTING.

The Police Chief, police command structure or police supervisors should have immediately warned the rioters and anarchists that they will be subject to arrest if they  failed to comply when ordered to disperse to leave the  area and building.They should  have called other districts for backup. If the rioters and anarchists  failed to comply with the issuing orders the officers should have  initiated non-lethal means (tear gas, pepper spray, pepper balls, rubber bullets, etc., in order to "stand their ground and defend the police precinct  against looting and  destruction." Chances are after the first mob rioter or anarchist was hit, the remaining mob would have quickly complied and retreated.

If the mob of rioters and anarchists chose to continue with their assault on the police precinct and police officers, the officers should have responded with deadly force, as an act of self defense on their lives.

There is no excuse for any police department in any city in the United states to not stand their ground and defend their precinct or station. An act of attacking and/or assaulting a police facility is clearly DOMESTIC TERRORISM and the mob, rioters and anarchist have to to be taken into custody and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The police in Seattle gave up their station precinct and then the domestic terrorists took over  a section of at least  six or seven blocks of Seattle city property  indicating that the zone was no longer a part of the United States. And the the Mayor, Governor, Police Chief and police command surrendered to these demands also.

I predict that if Mayors, Governors, and  Police Chiefs and command across the  nation continue to be passive and allow domestic terrorists to rob, steal, commit arson on public building and take over blocks of city property under the false guise of "it's a peaceful protest", these unlawful acts will spread like a cancer throughout city after city.

A show of force, law and order has to be put forward from the get go. DO NOT let civil unrest and disobedience even get started.
I would suggest these mayors, governors and police chiefs set specific hours  and time limits for protests to go forward and limit protests to daylight hours, require the leaders of the protest group(s)  apply for a permit to protest before they can march in protest, limit protests and marches to specific routes or areas, ONLY. Another possible suggestion is to fence off the particular area for the protesters to  protest in whether it be one block or  seven blocks..

If anyone attempts to protest outside the designated zone, they would be subject to arrest. I submit the above suggestions would keep legitimate protesters honest and they could and should get their point across.

Folks, DOMESTIC TERRORISM should not and cannot be allowed. You cannot pander and negotiate with domestic terrorists. If you give them an inch they WILL TAKE A MILE. This is a proven fact by the situation going on in Seattle at this moment.

I suggest that as soon as the first bottle is thrown, the first window smashed or the first fire is set, the National Guard and/or State Police should be there to back up the city police so as to immediately arrest the violators.  Further, any person that assaults a police officer or fireman,EMT or safety personnel during a protest event has to be taken into custody. Period!  And, that's my opinion. I suggest you consider the situation and come to your own conclusions. You decide.
