A hand labeled "LA protesters" is barely above water. Another hand labeled "Gavin Newsom" reaches out to help but insted just gives a high five labeled "California will sue Trump"

A couple other people provided the info for your questions but bear in mind that although he is able to do so, the conditions set by the legal bits allowing it were not met and are being challenged. This is why Marines are being sent in addition to NG troops. If the NG deployment is negated, there's not as much that can be done for a deployment of federal troops.

    Well said. So frustrating that when there was a literal insurrection against the capitol on Jan 6, nothing happened beyond some local police. Those same “less lethal” rounds shooting foreign journalists right now should have been used to prevent traitors from trying to take over the government, we should have mobilized the national guard immediately but instead it’s really important that they protect the brownshirts

    You can take a good bit from that. Bearing in mind that the understaffing was by design and Diapers was shitting himself with excitement watching a crowd of morons fight for him, thus rendering the chance that reinforcement would be called less than zero...

    All that aside and given the force on scene: there were no rubber bullets. There was little tear gas. There was no effort for crowd control until after things turned violent.
