He made a tough call and a smart decision.

Something that bloated piece of orange pig snot in the WH is incapable of making.

7. I found his press conference to be very underwhelming

Yes, he talked tough about Trump. Outside of that he never answered any question directly nor did he give any specific answer as to how they were using all of the additional personnel that have been brought in. He said the guard and other law enforcement wer distributed around the city protecting other banks, store, pharmacies, etc.

It almost seemed like he was indicating they had abandoned the 3rd Precinct area to the throng and were protecting the rest of the city

8. He was being extra careful not to give out tactical information I think.

9. I can understand not giving exact details

but he seemed to not have any idea.

Also he seemed very irritated by the question, which obviously would be one of the first questions to be asked.

ETA> upon reflection, another possible explanation is with Federal folks in town, he might find himself in a power struggle with how to handle the crisis. The Feds shouldn't have any say in the matter but reality might be less than ideal

I am concerned of MAGAt instigators showing up.
