You call in the national guard
But no one is doing that? You have a bunch of peaceful protests that the police want to portray as looting and rioting so they can get out their jackboots and step on some throats.
- alistairSH 6y agoThe National Guard is not a police force. It's a military organization. Calling them in for crowd control should be an absolute last resort. Yes, I realize the NG has MP units, but they don't have any super-powers or training that regular riot units in the police do not.
- tw04 6y agoThe National Guard is a military force. They aren't trained for non-lethal combat and quite frankly shouldn't be, that's not their job. Even if they WERE, it takes DAYS to get a unit online and ready to operate, that's not an acceptable timeline for a scenario in which Police would need to use non-lethal force.
