COLLINS But something that ░░░░░░░░ president said about you ░░░░░░░░ and what you have ░░░░░░░░ about the situation I ░░░░░░░░ like for you to ░░░░░░░░ to that right now ░░░░░░░░ starts Trump If we ░░░░░░░░ t there if we ░░░░░░░░ t bring in the ░░░░░░░░ Guard and the Marines ░░░░░░░░ would probably have a ░░░░░░░░ that was burning to ░░░░░░░░ ground just like it ░░░░░░░░ a number of months ░░░░░░░░ with the housing You ░░░░░░░░ have had a big ░░░░░░░░ there If we weren ░░░░░░░░ in fact the police ░░░░░░░░ said so much If ░░░░░░░░ look at what his ░░░░░░░░ were he said We ░░░░░░░░ very lucky to have ░░░░░░░░ them If we weren ░░░░░░░░ there that city would ░░░░░░░░ been burning to the ░░░░░░░░ We d be burning ░░░░░░░░ now Clip ends COLLINS ░░░░░░░░ that how you would ░░░░░░░░ your statement sir McDONNELL ░░░░░░░░ we we were not ░░░░░░░░ a position to request ░░░░░░░░ National Guard We have ░░░░░░░░ protocol that we work ░░░░░░░░ through First we bring ░░░░░░░░ all internal resources to ░░░░░░░░ on the issue whatever ░░░░░░░░ is Then we mobilize ░░░░░░░░ department or part of ░░░░░░░░ department to be able ░░░░░░░░ get everybody out there ░░░░░░░░ with the issue If ░░░░░░░░ don t have the ░░░░░░░░ at that point to ░░░░░░░░ able to do that ░░░░░░░░ through the sheriff we ░░░░░░░░ mutual aid and we ░░░░░░░░ our law enforcement partners ░░░░░░░░ police departments and sheriff ░░░░░░░░ department throughout the Southern ░░░░░░░░ region to assist us ░░░░░░░░ doing what it is ░░░░░░░░ need to do We ░░░░░░░░ at that level now ░░░░░░░░ we re nowhere near ░░░░░░░░ level where we would ░░░░░░░░ reaching out to the ░░░░░░░░ for National Guard at ░░░░░░░░ stage And my hope ░░░░░░░░ that things are going ░░░░░░░░ the right direction now ░░░░░░░░ that we wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ had to have done ░░░░░░░░ or we won t ░░░░░░░░ COLLINS That s notable ░░░░░░░░ hear you say that ░░░░░░░░ re you re actually ░░░░░░░░ near that stage in ░░░░░░░░ of what this looks ░░░░░░░░
