No. The problem is, the situation will only get worse with escalation. Not better.

There is a massive difference between rubber bullets and live ammunition.
Almost everything Trump has attempted to do, has to some extent, been blocked in the courts. Sometimes temporarily...other times completely. And the temporary blocks are all still active cases, that stand a good chance of getting permanently blocked in the future.
The problem is, the media isn't covering that enough. They like the drama...so, all they report in is the shit that gets clicks. And boring court details don't attract a lot of interest. Especially considering that by the time anything is resolved, the news steam has long since moved on to other, more recent scandals.
If you've already decided that you want a civil war, then Trump doesn't need to find an excuse. You're going to force his hand. And any possibility that those soldiers might be on your side, disappears.
Only if people go into this looking for it.
He needs to be bankrupted. Then he needs to be blacklisted. He should never be allowed near money again.
That's an Onion article. You can tell because Trump hasn't been shooting protesters for months already. That's what comes next. And that's when it stops being a protest, and turns into a civil war.
Don't be so eager to make that happen.
That's the Insurrection Act. The only way Trump could invoke it, would be if the protesters were armed and attacking the government. That's the entire reason why armed protests are a very bad idea in the US.
But, when you say, "they"...you are painting the entire protest as violent, unless you make the distinction that it isn't. And the vast majority of protestors are simply exercising their 1st amendment rights, in a perfectly legal manner.
The people setting those fires should absolutely be charged for their actions. But their actions don't negate the Constitutional rights of everyone else who is protesting. And calling in the National guard before the local authorities have declared the situation to be out of their control, is a direct violation of Constitutional law.
Dude...that is a massive difference.
