The history of violent mobs interceding in election issues is not a good one! If the incident is allowed to develop any further, we'll end up in a situation with competing claims of legitimacy and the military will have to intervene anyway.

By all accounts the people in power were committed to certifying the election. We've got no reason to think they have changed their minds on this. The police were underprepared and overwhelmed by protesters (terrorist, coupists, whatever), they also chose not to fire on these protesters, so this happened. Let the police get it under control, let the election get certified (whenever and where that happens), and then we can begin to sort this mess out. That process may yet involve the National Guard, but their role and objective should be crystal clear.

Why should we be confident that the police will be able to get it under control?
