These aren’t areas chock full of Trump voters, you know. Sure, there are bunches, but, Democrats are the majority, and Dems are the ones who have rioted
Los Angeles County Sheriff has ‘zero tolerance’ policy for looting/violence this week: report
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office said it would exercise a “zero tolerance†policy this week as many businesses in the city prepare for the possibility of unrest after the election.
Bill Melugin, an investigative reporter for Fox Los Angeles, tweeted that deputies are already working 12-hour patrols and are operating three mobile field stations. There will be Special Response Teams prepared to deploy across the city including in downtown Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva said law enforcement was able to learn from the unrest that swept through much of the city in the wake of George Floyd’s death last May.
Unfortunately, Villanueva might be a bit outnumbered, and the National Guard might too late in being deployed when Biden voters riot

If Biden voters are so peaceful, why the need to board up?
Oregon Gov. Brown to place National Guard on standby ahead of election
The Oregon National Guard was directed to place its members on standby ahead of potential election unrest in Portland, Gov. Kate Brown announced Monday.
Brown said she is also exercising her executive authority to create a joint incident command structure in Portland, with the Oregon State Police and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office co-managing the police response in the city.
“Every Oregonian has the right to express themselves freely and to peacefully assemble. However, I want to be clear that voter intimidation and political violence will not be tolerated. Not from the Left, the Right, or the Center. Not this week, not any week in Oregon,” she wrote in a release by the governor’s office.
None of the violence we’ve seen has come from the Right/Center. It has all started with Brown’s own voters. And Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler will probably have his police stand down yet again, and Brown will probably not actually use the ONG unless they start trashing the suburbs.
NYPD issues pre-election warning to known rioters, agitators: ‘We know who they are’
The New York City Police Department put known rioters on notice ahead of Election Day as the city braced for possible protests over Tuesday’s presidential contest.
“Our intel has gotten a lot better. Our responses to getting cops out to the scene has gotten a lot better,” NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan said Monday about the protests that raged in the city over the summer. “We’ve identified those who are willing to cause damage and destruction, and we will be on them. We know who they are.”
But, the hyper-leftist mayor will probably have the NYPD stand down.
Monahan said officers will be out to protect everyone’s right to vote, engage in peaceful protest and respond to calls for service. He also urged organizers to avoid looting and violent clashes between demonstrators and police.
“When you see those who are trying to turn your protests into something that it was not meant to be, to turn it into violence, that’s the time to police your own people,” he said.
It’s not Trump voters attacking police. If Trump loses, I expect a few tears from a few, but, at most, maybe a caravan of vehicles from Trump supporters like we’ve seen, then back home to get on with their lives, and work towards 2022 and taking back the House and Senate (I fully expect to lose the Senate if Biden wins). No riots, no vandalism, no assaults, no arson, no looting. We’ll congratulate and move on with our lives.
I don’t expect Democrats to win gracefully, though. I expect a few fights to start because they won’t shut up, and some friendships to end because Dems won’t shut up. And, you could easily see the unnecessary marches from Biden supporters turning violent. Not badly, but, some. They don’t take winning well.
If Trump wins, though, that’s why shops are boarded up, cops and National Guard ready to be deployed. Biden voters will go apeshit, and make the previous “mostly peaceful” protests look like chump-change. They’ll be burning down their own cities.
