11. Don't think ICE is shooting anyone in LA. It's LAPD and they aren't wearing masks.

Nor are they shooting with lethal intention. That’s not to say rubber bullets, etc., aren’t dangerous and unwarranted. Hope Bass and Newsom come up with something that cools things down.

LA needs to show they can handle this, without Guard or Maines even having a pretense to attack. So far, troops appear hanging back around Federal buildings.
