Actually there are a lot of Former Military and righteous citizens willing to Volunteer their services, be read on to the the RIOT ACT and used as UNARMED backup support personnel.
I personally like to see a modified version of the 1714 UK Riot Act enacted in the USA.
Something that would allow police officers at the RIOT scene to declare physically aggressive mobs to be unlawfully assembled and a threat to public safety.
Allowing the use of force to legally be disperse the Rioting Mob, using any non-lethal short time debilitating means necessary. All without civil or criminal repercussions.

Let's face it. Just like the Derek Chauvin trial, unless Kyle Rittenhouse is convicted of two counts of premeditated murder, and sentenced to death, there will be riots.

[PJMedia] Without bothering to give its hapless readers any reminders about how and why Americans got stuck in Afghanistan in the first place, NBC News reported Monday that "the Pentagon is stepping up efforts to get family members of U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, creating a database of the dozens who are trapped there."
That’s terrific, but why now? Why the long delay in moving on this? And why was priority placed on bringing unvetted and unvettable Afghans into the United States rather than getting the Americans out? As usual with Biden’s handlers, no useful answers are forthcoming.
NBC noted that on Thursday, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl "issued a memo asking any U.S. military personnel and DOD civilians with immediate family members who need help leaving Afghanistan to email his office." Wonderful, but why did it take him two months since the American military withdrawal to do this?

New documentary reveals explosive claims about four Army KIAs in Niger
Army Special Ops soldiers were killed in October 4, 2017 ISIS ambush near Tongo Tongo
Killed were four members of Operation Detachment Alpha Squad 3212: Sergeant La David Johnson, Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Johnson, Staff Sergeant Bryan Black, and Staff Sergeant Dustin Wright
Military brass claimed they went 'rogue' in attempt to capture ISIS leader
But documents suggest they were following orders in a foolish mission
Film claims high-ranking officers tried to cover up orders to protect themselves
ABC News documentary, 3212 Un-Redacted, will be released Thursday on Hulu
The ambush occurred one day after US soldiers and Nigerien forces attempted to locate and capture or kill Doundou Chefou, an ISIS subcommander in the region.
Ibrahim Doundou Chefou, a Sahel Fulani herdsman who got his start fighting against Tuareg cattle raiders from the Sahara, then eventually was promoted to #3 in the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara. The attack was ordered by ISIS-GS #1 Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi (also spelt Adnan Abou Walid al Sahraoui, nom de guerre Lehbib Ould), whom the French rendered toes up in September.
After two failed attempts to locate the insurgent, the convoy was returning to base when partner Nigeriens insisted on stopping in Tongo Tongo to eat and meet with village leaders. The meetings dragged out, leading the US soldiers to suspect that they were being stalled and delayed.
After leaving Tongo Tongo, the unarmored convoy fell into a trap and the Nigerien supporting forces melted away.
The trap: Twelve Green Berets and 30 Nigerian soldiers were reportedly attacked by 50-100 ISIS gunnies —depending who you believe — with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades.
In a chaotic confrontation, outnumbered three to one and without air support, the US forces lost four soldiers.
In a press conference discussing the findings of an AFRICOM investigation, General Thomas D. Waldhauser, then head of US Africa Command, claimed that Squad 3212 lied about its stated mission and never disclosed it was seeking Chenfou. But, according to the documentary, even a redacted AFRICOM report contained information contradicting that version of events.
The details of secret missions ought to be kept secret in the immediate aftermath and perhaps beyond, especially if higher ups want to try again. But surely there are ways to do that without unfairly blaming the innocent.
According to the report, 3212 was headed back to base when the unit received orders to head northwest toward the border of Mali, where officials had detected a cell-phone signal that suggested Chenfou was in the area. ODA 3212 Captain Mike Perozeni is on record vigorously objecting to the new objective, requiring his team to forge off into the desert at night.
He and the Master Sergeant were among the six disciplined for insufficiently training their team for the mission. Higher ups were not.
Nonetheless, his commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel David Painter demanded ODA 3212 adhere to these new directives.
Perozeni's protest over the order to pursue Chenfou flies in the face of the claim that the team was on a rogue mission to capture the insurgent -- a discrepancy that has never been explained.
The documentary also portrays interviews with family members of the fallen soldiers, who say that the Pentagon's falsehoods and inconsistencies about the incident were present from the beginning. While some of these discrepancies can be chalked up to early confusion in the fog of combat, the documentary makes the case that military leaders intentionally obfuscated facts in order to protect Painter and his boss, Colonel Brad Moses.
CYA is the technical term...
The film proposes that Squad 3212 was sent, ill-equipped and without proper support, on a foolish, dangerous mission, and then was set up to take the blame in order to protect military brass.
The attack raised questions about the US military's role in Niger, where about 800 US military personnel are stationed to train local forces and operate drones.
Across Africa, the US military maintains a network of 29 bases, according to a declassified map from 2019. Some two-thirds of the approximately 6,000 U.S. troops in Africa are stationed at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti City.

Loyalty up follows loyalty down. The command here had totally offed up and pitched into the trash any slightest semblance of loyalty down.
So there will be no loyalty up, without which you cannot operate effectively.

Yup. You'll notice this pattern - whenever elites fuck up, it is always someone else's fault. Some low or middle ranking stiff is always to blame. They didn't follow the plan, they ignored their training, etc. Not surprised in the least.
[Rudaw] The spokesperson for the Iraqi foreign ministry told Rudaw on Thursday that they have begun registering Iraqis who are stuck on the Belarusian-Polish borders to bring them back home.
"Early today, with instructions from the Iraqi foreign minister, the Iraqi Embassy in Moscow began registering those people who want to return to Iraq," Ahmed al-Sahaf told Rudaw.
He called on the Iraqis to submit their optional return requests, adding that those who have lost their passports will be issued temporary ones.
Thousands of migrants colonists, mostly from the Middle East and Iraq in particular, have tried to cross into European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... nations from Belarus since early last summer. The EU has accused Belarus of orchestrating the influx of migrants colonists to punish it for imposing sanctions against the country.
Sahaf said that nearly 600 Iraqis have requested Polish residency so far, adding that "the Iraqi government continues its diplomatic work with these countries in order to return these people and defend their rights."
The return flights will be free of charge, according to the spokesperson.
When asked what steps his government has taken to prevent the further migration of Iraqis, Sahaf said they have suspended the work of Belarusian honorary embassy in Baghdad.
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) spokesperson Jotiar Adil told Rudaw on Thursday that out of nearly 17,000 migrants colonists on Belarusian-Polish borders some 8,000 are from the Kurdistan Region.
Undersecretary of the Iraqi Ministry of Migration and Displaced, Karim Nuri, told Rudaw on Thursday that the people of Kurdistan make up 80 percent of all Iraqis on the borders of both countries.
Belarus’ neighbours have fortified their borders against the migrants, leaving thousands desperate in a country they had thought would be an easy gateway to western Europe.
Dominik Musial, consul general of Poland in Erbil, told Rudaw on Wednesday that the immigrants trying to enter Poland “have been equipped and prepared to forcibly cross the border.”
"We're evidently dealing with a group of people who are trying to forcibly, force enter into our country," he said.
Media coverage is portraying the people at the border as "the sole victims of the situation," he added. "I understand they are. They are. But we also need to look at them from a different viewpoint: they are also intruders."
Belarus' Minister of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Makei said on Wednesday that European countries have deployed 15,000 troops “against crying women and children to prevent them from getting into Europe... I cannot comprehend it. This is a violation of all possible norms.”

[AlAhram] Italia has granted citizenship to Afghanistan's first woman chief prosecutor after she fled the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... takeover of her war-torn country, a minister said on Thursday.
Maria Bashir, 51, was evacuated in September after the United States withdrew its last troops on August 30.
As chief prosecutor in the western province of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... since 2009, she had battled corruption, violence against women and child marriage.
The US State Department recognised her with an award in 2011 for showing courage in the face of Taliban threats, and Time magazine listed her among its 100 most influential people the same year.
Justice Minister Marta Cartabia said Italia, through giving her Italian nationality, wanted to show its "support to all the other Afghan women, who continue to fight for their freedom and rights at a high price".
Cartabia had welcomed Bashir when she landed in Italia on September 9.
As it approved the decision late on Wednesday, Italia's cabinet said Bashir had "worked closely with the Italian authorities while they were in (Afghanistan), contributing to reinforcing institutions and, more generally, the rule of law".
In comments relayed by the ANSA news agency, Bashir said she was "honoured" and hoped to be able to continue working for Afghan women, "with the help of our Italian friends".
Bashir lived under Taliban rule in the 90s, which she described in 2010 to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime as "a particularly grim time for women".
"Everybody was scared to go to work and I, too, had to stay at home. So, I started a secret school at home, for the neighbourhood girls," she told the UN body.

Earlier, the Iraqi Ministry withdrew the cultural attaché at the Iraqi embassy in Lebanon, Hashem al-Shammari, and referred him to an investigation after university degrees of Iraqis studying in Lebanon reached about 27 thousand. al-Modon Agency said.

[IsraelTimes] PM reportedly acknowledges Biden’s campaign promise and domestic sensitivities, but says his government views reopening of mission to Paleostinians as ’unacceptable’.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has reportedly reiterated to visiting Democratic US Congress members that he won’t allow Washington to reopen the US consulate.
US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan... ’s administration has said it will reopen the diplomatic mission historically responsible for Paleostinian affairs. The consulate was shuttered by then-US president Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... in 2019 and its staff was folded into the US embassy — which had been moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem a year earlier — in what the Paleostinians viewed as a downgrading of their ties with the US.
The mission was based on Jerusalem’s Agron Street, in West Jerusalem, and had a consular services office in East Jerusalem, which the Paleostinians claim as the capital of their future state.
Israel must accredit the consul general that the US sends to Jerusalem, according to the diplomatic protocol.
Bennett has called the planned move "unacceptable," though he acknowledged the domestic political sensitivities within the Democratic Party and Biden’s election promise to his voters, the Axios news site reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed Israeli official.
"I am not going to... try to score political points over this issue, but the government position is that reopening the consulate is unacceptable," he told the visiting congressional delegation, according to the report.
The Democratic delegation, sponsored by the dovish J Street organization, is led by Rep. Rosa DeLauro and includes representatives Mark Pocan, Barbara Lee, Melania Stansbury and Jamaal Bowman. That delegation also met Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
Bennett also met Tuesday with a separate, bipartisan US delegation, which also met Defense Minister Benny Gantz and traveled to Ramallah to meet Paleostinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh.
"The issue of the consulate came up in each of our meetings," said the head of the delegation, Democratic Senator Chris Coons ...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School.... , stressing that "it is important for the United States to continue to have an open dialogue with the Paleostinian Authority."
Bennett told news hounds Saturday that "there’s no room for another American consulate in Jerusalem," clearly stating that his government would resist moves by Washington to restore the Paleostinian mission. Bennett is a hawk who opposes Paleostinian statehood.
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said at the same news conference that Israel would have no objection to the US opening a mission in Ramallah, the PA’s seat of power.
Shtayyeh claimed Wednesday that the United States does not need Israel’s "permission" to reopen its consulate, urging Washington to honor its diplomatic pledges.
However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... a senior US State Department official recently acknowledged that Israel’s permission would be required before the United States could reopen the consulate.
[JPost] Israel, UAE, Bahrain and the US Navy are holding a multilateral maritime drill in the Red Sea.
In a message to Iran, Israel is taking part in a multilateral maritime security drill in the Red Sea along with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and US Naval Forces Central Command’s (NAVCENT) in the Red Sea.
The five-day drill includes at-sea training aboard amphibious transport dock ship USS Portland ...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others... focused on visit, board, search and seizure tactics.
"The training will enhance interoperability between participating forces’ maritime interdiction teams," read a statement by NAVCENT.
While the Israeli Air Force had previously taken part in international drills with the UAE, this drill marks the first time that Israel publicly trains with the UAE and Bahrain. It comes as a result of the transfer of the responsibility for Israel from the US Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... Command (EUCOM) to the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
It is believed that the move will not only simplify the cooperation with American troops in the region, but can also create the potential for a regional coalition with Arab countries that have normalized ties with Israel against shared threats posed by Iran.
The 5th Fleet has sometimes clashed with Iranian vessels in the Persian Gulf, and as tensions remain high, Israel’s addition and subsequent drills can be seen as a message to Tehran.
"The Iranians are independent at sea, and must be kept away from the Red Sea so as not to infringe on Israel’s freedom of navigation or to carry out maritime terrorism," said a senior Israeli Navy officer.
Iran, he said, is attempting to entrench itself not only on land in the region but also at sea, where it has used drones and other platforms to carry out attacks.

[JPost - Juice Power] Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) unveiled a family of new electronic warfare (EW) systems on Thursday which can combat a range of threats, including UAVs, ships, missiles and radar systems.
The Scorpius family of systems scans the entire surrounding area for targets and deploys narrowly focused beams to interfere with multiple threats across the electromagnetic spectrum. The system effectively disrupts the operation of electromagnetic systems, including radar, electronic sensors, navigation and data communications.
Scorpius has unprecedented receiver sensitivity and transmission power, allowing it to detect and address multiple threats of different kinds simultaneously from much farther distances than it was able to do in the past.
The Scorpius family includes five systems: the Scorpius G (ground), N (naval), SP (air - self-protection), SJ (air - standoff jammer) and the Scorpius T (training).
The Scorpius G is a mobile, ground-based EW system used to detect and disrupt ground and airborne threats. The system can be quickly deployed by vehicle and is a "soft-kill" air defense system that creates an electronic dome of protection above a wide area.

[AnNahar] Israel has warned Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... against initiating any military action, as it announced that it is willing to offer "concessions" in the negotiations over offshore gas and oil resources.

[IsraelTimes] Saudi outlet says Quds Force chief in Syria accused of ’major breach of Syrian illusory sovereignty’ after attacking US forces, placing Iranian weapons in unapproved places.
Syria’s leadership has shunned the commander of Iran’s Quds Force in the country after he almost caused an "unwanted regional war" with Israel, according to a report Wednesday.
Mustafa Javad Ghafari
...also spelt Mustafa Javad Ghaffari, but not in our archives either way ...
has also been "excluded" over a series of actions he took that were viewed by dictator Bashir al-Assad as "a major breach of Syrian illusory sovereignty at all levels," according to AlHadath, a Saudi television network operated by Al Arabiya.
The report said that acting "contrary to instructions," Ghafari led "a number of activities against the United States and Israel that almost led to the entry of Syria into an unwanted regional war, including the attack on American targets in Syria on October 20 by Iranian-backed militias."
That drone attack targeted a remote US military base, causing no casualties.
The report also said that amid a series of alleged Israeli raids, reportedly against Iran-linked targets, "Ghafari admitted the presence of Iranian elements and weapons in the areas where the Syrian regime prohibited their deployment."
Citing an unnamed source familiar with the developments in Syria, the report said the move against Ghafari was taken by high-ranking officials in the Assad regime, after "months of disputes."
Among his misdeeds, Ghafari "transgressed Syrian customs and smuggled goods with the aim of creating a ’black market,’ which constitutes a challenge and competition to the Syrian market.
"The Iranian forces in Syria have repeatedly exploited the Syrian natural resources for their personal interests, as well as looting economic resources and evading paying taxes to the Syrian state," it added.
The source said Syria’s move was "part of the negative trend facing the Iranian position in Syria and in the entire region," as well as a "blow" to the vision of Qassem Soleimani — the previous Quds Force chief who was assassinated by the US almost two years ago — of establishing continuous control from Iran ...The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan.

[JPost] Talking tough. How's you predecessor decomposing?
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Aerospace Force, warned on Thursday that if Israel starts a conflict, Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... will "destroy" it, according to Iranian media.
"The Zionist regime officials know that they can be the initiators, but the end is with us," said the commander. "The end of this work is the destruction of the Zionist regime, and if they give us an excuse... their destruction will certainly be advanced historically."
Hajizadeh said that Israel is the only country in the world that talks about its own survival and continued existence.
"A regime that speaks about its existence is doomed to destruction, and such a regime cannot talk about the destruction of other countries, and the threats it issues are mostly for domestic consumption," he said.
The IRGC Aerospace Force commander called Iran’s security "exemplary," saying he did not need to talk about the country’s capabilities "because the enemy is talking enough about Iran’s missile and defense capabilities."

Hajizadeh pointed to efforts by world powers to add negotiations concerning Iran’s missile program to the talks on returning to the JCPOA nuclear deal, saying Iran’s drones have become "a thorn in their side," and that this shows the country’s strength.
On Wednesday, IDF OC Artillery Corps Brig.-Gen. Neri Horowitz said that future conflicts with Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip or Hezbollah in Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...a strong argument in favor of European colonialism, even French colonialism... could involve festivities between drones.
"The enemy is evolving in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon," Horowitz said at the UVID 2021 conference. "We must know how to distinguish between a friend and an enemy and deal with enemy capabilities."
The chief artillery officer added that unmanned vehicles will join combat alongside manned forces in a variety of operations, including attacks, evacuations, security patrols, maneuvering in enemy territory and helping expose the enemy and allowing soldiers to see and hear in all environments.
Horowitz added that he sees unmanned aircraft as "an element in the security and strategy of the State of Israel," and that in addition to the two UAV units already operational in the Artillery Corps, a third unit will be established in the near future.
On Monday, an Iron Dome battery fired a missile at a Hamas drone crossing into the sea from the Gaza Strip, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
Israeli media reports indicated that the small drone was unarmed and was being used for surveillance. The drone did not enter Israeli territory.

[AlAhram] The number of terror attacks decreased to 131 during October in the Middle East
...defined on the map at the link as from Pakistan in the east to Turkey in north and Mauritania on the Atlantic coast...
instead of 140 attacks in September 2021, according to a recent report by Egypt’s National Centre for Studies (NCS) on the state of terrorism in the larger Middle East.
The report said that 116 out of the 131 attacks were carried out in countries with political instability in the region, representing 88.5 percent, while 15 attacks, around 11.5 percent, were carried out in stable countries.
All the terrorist attacks in some of the region’s countries — which are suffering from conflicts with gangs — were excluded from the report.
The pattern of most attacks, as usual, varied between armed attacks and explosions. The report monitored 56 armed attacks — 55 of which in countries with political instability and one in a stable country — while 50 explosions occurred in the region — 44 of which in unstable countries and six in stable ones.
The NCS report also referred to an increase in kidnappings and killings by terrorist organizations, with eight operations recorded in October 2021, comparing to 3 operations throughout the month of September.
The rate of suicide operations, however, remained stable during the last two months at four suicide operations.
The report, the tenth by the NCS, placed Iraq in the September report at the forefront of terrorism-stricken countries, with 54 terrorist acts carried out there. Afghanistan ranked second with 36 attacks and Somalia the third at 17 attacks.
The report also revealed the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

Finally, the report praised the distinguished efforts of the security and intelligence services in both Iraq and Sudan which led to the successful capturing of Sami Jassim,
