"Don't Mess With Texas"
We're a wild bunch!
We had one case where a man saw his next-door neighbor's house being burgled, called 911, grabbed his shotgun (I think it was), stepped outside as the 911 operator told him not to go outside and not to shoot at them, yelled something like They're getting away, and shot them dead in the neighbors yard as they left that house...during daylight hours.
Many wanted charges pressed, but it got no-billed.

I do recall that case.

This same thinking goes back to right after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and then did not strike the West Coast.

Your information is incorrect on various strikes on the West Coast. Balloon bombs were floated onto the West Coast. There was a community in Oregon where one such balloon drifted to the ground and a family was killed by Japanese balloon bombs. Documented on the internet.
In addition, Japan built a number of small submarines with covers for aircraft housing folded wing aircraft. The aircraft could be launched from these housings much like off an aircraft carrier. This fleet was separated to approach and attack both the West Coast and East Coast. Those attacks did occur and again the statistics are available on the internet.
Many are quite unaware of the approaches Japan made from both the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.

I am quite aware of Japanese submarines off the coast of California since there was one about 40 miles North of where I am sitting. My point was there was no Pearl Harbor on the West Coast.
I will still maintain that because of the number of privately owned firearms in America with the numbers growing, it would be a mistake for a foreign government to try to take over this country.

As an ex cop I have to disagree. Unless the running man has already harmed someone AND may harm someone else imminently the cop may not shoot. The old Fleeing Felon rule is no more.
I stand corrected.
As a cop, do you have any comments about governments that tell tell cops to 'stand down' when actual crimes are being committed..

Those governments that tell the police to stand down rather than enforce existing law are going against the Constitution, against established law that Congress has enacted. Whatever law was voted upon either by city or county managers, state or federal congress is/was for the benefit of all citizens. For let’s say, a city mayor or the governor of a state to allow civil unrest indicates that person is going against established and rightful law. Those people should be removed from office immediately as a danger to the citizens.
You will notice I do not include peaceful protest.

Portland's mayor is looking for a way to stop the destruction as the peaceful protests continue to get out of hand. It is almost 6 months that these protests have occurred almost nightly.

I am wondering if those peaceful protests have EVER been peaceful. I don't think so.

Well of course they have. The BIG news is supposed to be the violent protestors and the mayors/governors who tell the police to stand down and not do anything about the violence, murders and property damage that other Americans pay to keep from happening with their tax payments. But of course now that Biden is POTUS and not Trump, the Left welcomes all of the above. The Left WANTS these things to happen. With more violence, more division between Americans the NEED for Big Government to step in and declare IT to be in charge and subsequently take over Americans by reducing rights in the name of safety for all.
Yes of course the Left Wingers here will disagree with me and put me down for even thinking such things will happen on THEIR watch. Let's wait and see.

Maybe if the dumber than dirt leftist morons stopped calling the RIOTS peaceful protests and treated the RIOTERS like the CRIMINALS they are rather than like peaceful protesters the "peaceful protests" would stop. That would require being more intelligent than dirt though, something sorely lacking in the left.
