The IRF battalion — which deployed to Iraq earlier this year to quell Iran-backed violence — brought approximately 750 soldiers, ten Black Hawk helicopters, and four Chinooks, according to sources. The helicopters are utility, not attack, and are used to transport troops short distances.
The aircraft are just one of the ways troops could be transported, but would give the IRF the ability to rapidly deploy to a number of locations in the D.C. Metro area quickly.
The force was ordered to the region on Monday afternoon, after being told to be ready on Saturday, sources told Breitbart News.
Two more IRF battalions have been put on short-notice alert status — meaning they would have to be ready to deploy within two hours if ordered.
The orders to the IRF and other active-duty military units come as President Trump urged state governors to take back the streets from rioters, who have engaged in a spree of violence, looting, destruction of property, and other crimes.
Washington, D.C., stayed relatively quiet on Monday night compared to previous nights after the deployments were ordered.

The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump indicated that he might take direct control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to quell the riots. This appears a reference to Section 1-207.40. Unlike the Insurrection Act, this provision is ...
...written in mandatory terms and no qualifications. The law gives the President the discretion ("may direct") and gives the Mayor a mandatory obligation ("shall provide") the services specified by the President. In other words, he could take effective control in tasking ...
..the D.C. police with deployment or enforcement roles. "Emergency" is left ambiguous under the law but few courts would question that rioting qualifies. In other words, this could be used by the President in any dispute over his plan to "dominate the streets."
Notably, Gov. Cuomo just raised his own authority to take over the streets in New York City after criticizing the performance of Mayor de Blasio and the NYPD. In the case of Washington, it remains a federal enclave and even more subject to such authority.

Las Vegas: Rioter Shoots Police Officer in the Head from Behind
[BREITBART] Las Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told a press briefing an officer was shot around 11 p.m. Monday night and is at death's door and on life support at University Medical Center.
Lombardo said officers were dealing with a large group of rioters at a George Floyd protest near the Circus Circus hotel-casino when the officer went down.
Rioters were allegedly throwing rocks and debris at the officers before the officer was shot, KTNV Las Vegas reports.
"Our officers were attempting to take rocks and bottles from the crowd," said Lombardo during the presser. "Officers were attempting to get some of the protesters in jug when a shot rang out and our officer went down."
SWAT and K9 at the scene responded and were able to apprehend the suspected shooter while a second shooting was also notified:
The second incident occurred at the courthouse on South Las Vegas Boulevard after officers who were posted to protect it from rioters. They encountered a suspect at approximately 11:22 p.m. armed with multiple weapons and appeared to be wearing body armor.
When authorities approached, the suspect reached for one of those weapons and was subsequently shot by the responding officers, ABC News reports.
The suspect later died at the hospital.

Buffalo Officials Appear to Have Caught 'Idiot' Who Lit City Hall on Fire
[Townhall] Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown was outraged after watching video surveillance of the criminal who threw a flaming object through the window of city hall on Saturday night. It was one of the more destructive acts performed in the city this weekend as the protests against the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd turned violent. In his reaction to the mayhem, the usually soft spoken Mayor Brown surprised the city by using stronger language than he's perhaps ever used before.
"We have you on camera, you idiot," Brown told the city hall assailant.
On Monday, the Buffalo police appear to have captured and identified the idiot. The perpetrator is named as 20-year-old Buffalo resident Courtland Renford. He is being held on state and federal charges for the act of arson. He is facing a minimum of five years in prison.
“We came to riot,” wrote Matthew Lee Rupert on his Facebook page (now deleted). Rupert is charged with civil disorder, possession of unregistered explosives and participating in and organizing riots. He’s the first individual charged in federal court for crossing state lines to incite a riot.
There’s no indication of Mr. Rupert’s politics. He was arrested in Chicago after posting his intent to start riots there.
Between eight and 10 white men and women “were clearly coordinating with each other. They were walking around the building, taking notes,” Cranley said.
“You would have some of these folks try to get all the way around the building, and they were clearly taking notes on how many cops were there, looking at windows and entrances to the building,” Cranley said.
On the other side of the building, Cranley said, he saw a white man who appeared to hold an incendiary device and repeatedly point to a window.
“He was consistently pointing to a window in full view of the cops,” Cranley said. “He clearly knew he was being watched.”
Cranley believed those “agitators” wanted to provoke police. A police spokesman said several officers, including Chief Eliot Isaac, saw this happen. Cranley believes their intent was to “provoke a response from police, presumably to get the cops to fire into the crowd.”
“This guy went through the motions of pouring a liquid very conspicuously onto his shirt or a rag … and when he went to throw it, fireworks went off at the same time,” Cranley said. “Then a whole bunch of water bottles were thrown at the cops at the same time.”
Minnesota, New York Officials Say Evidence Shows Weekend Riots Were Planned, Chicago Demands Fed Investigation Into ‘Organized’ Violence
[DailyWire] “Speaking at an afternoon news conference today with other officials, Lightfoot didn’t say whether the groups are out-of-state left-wing anti-fascist organizations generally known as Antifa, right-wing agitators, local street gangs or something else. She said she’s asked three federal agencies—the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms & Explosives, and the U.S. Attorney’s office—for help, with a focus on AFT’s bomb and arson unit,” the outlet reported late Sunday.
I believe the man who first appears at 23 seconds is dead.
I'm sure Bolshitube will remove the video soon so archive archive archive.

New York Night-Time Curfew Extended to June 7 after Looting
[AnNahar] New York's mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters that a 8:00 pm to 5:00 am curfew, due to come into force Tuesday, would now run until Sunday. It comes after a curfew on Monday that began at the later time of 11:00 pm failed to deter rioters from looting a number of luxury stores across Manhattan.

#1 Last report from my neck of the woods; Quincy crowd dispersed around three hours ago, Boston may still be limping along and Brockton's winding down as we speak (dispersal around 11:20). All three local stations have stopped broadcasting so further updates are unavailable.
Summary - no damage in Quincy, some cars getting abused (but not set on fire) in Boston & Brockton, no apparent mass looting anywhere, though I'm sure some stores got trashed & looted somewhere that's yet to be reported.

#9 Further north in the New England area, they had what looked like Quincy College Kid Protest II - Electric Boogaloo in my hometown of Manchester, NH. They had some candlelight vigil in Stark Park (north Manchester), and I love how they moved all the black people to the front for the cameras because the rest of the crowd was 100% honky; none of them over 30. It was like racking up a ton of cue balls.
Further in town, I heard they clogged up South Willow Street for an hour or so; not sure where they started from, so more nuisance than anything else. Unlike the protests there a few years ago, I don't think these jagoffs were bussed in from Boston because of the protests there. Again, if the first crowd is representative of the asswipes on South Willow, it's young idiots and college kids on this one.

#19 So... Has anything been done with Trumps designation of Antifa as terrorists? Any arrests? Funds seized?
Has he actually taken over the DC police? Deployed any troops to put down the rioters?
No?
Why should he get my vote again? This is a basic function of government, and he's derelict.
I think US Marshalls should be arresting every mayor and governor who "gives room to destroy" for violating the rights of the riot victims. I'd settle for action taken against the rioters. But nothing's being done.

#22 Has anything been done with Trumps designation of Antifa as terrorists?
OODA, Rob. First they have to collect information, then they will do things. Or perhaps they are doing things without announcing it to all the world, like going through the data collected from the several thousand arrested thus far...
But in the meantime, did you see the video of all those khaki-coloured vehicles driving down 14th Street, and read about the arrival of the 82nd Airborne?

#25 I agree with delay if it means ripping them out by the roots when they finally act.
I also think that every Mayor/Gov giving their rioters room to vent should be removed at the first opportunity special election or Nov election, whichever applies.

[Breitbart] An 82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force battalion arrived to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland Monday evening for a civil unrest mission in the nation’s capitol, according to sources.
