T10 activation, but no Insurection Act so can't preform LEO duties.

Seems like most likely usage is making a cordon while ICE conducts business, with whatever log support is needed.

Wonder if these 2k troops are coming from CA or other states? That's a whole other can of worms.

At the very least, I hope they're activating mostly MP units. They get much more training in DOMOPs and are less likely to do dumb shit (in my personal experience).

Love the article. The national guard activation is causing legal concerns. The Antifa domestic terrorists and illegal aliens are waving foreign flags and burning ours- setting fire to businesses, vehicles, property, and injuring LEOs. But the NG activation is the real escalation.

Send the marines for all i care- they’re going to vilify you for it anyway, might as well be heavy handed and give them something to cry about.

Last time this happened (2020) tens of people died and $2B of damage. I’ve had enough, I voted for it, send them all. Dudes are bored not deploying anyway.

I don't see anything that is a legal concern about this. The guard does DOMOPs for support a fairly decent amount.
It'll (maybe) become something if Newsom really pushes it, but thats more because States usually have some more say in if their units get T10 activation.
Good example is a few years back where there was debate on activating some units to do the border missions and those states said no.

It does happen without State support, but that's a bit rarer. I'll bet by next week they've got an "understanding".

Now if they send in Marines or invoke the Insurrection Act? There will 100% being people losing their minds and filing lawsuits.

And quick reminder for the suicidal empathy crowd about the use of the guard- Tim Walz used the NG to shoot paintballs at people on their fucking porch to endorce the George Floyd curfew in Minnesota. There’s video.

I thought that was local pd? Maybe I'm combining the porch+paintballs with the dude who fired back because cops were popping off from a van without identification.

Either way, trash all around.
 
When I was at Knox, we had active duty Soldiers on a volunteer basis of course for crowd control at Churchill Downs. You had two groups, uniformed and business casual (Churchill Downs provided a polo). This nonsense about the National Guard is a red herring.
 
Sheeeeeit, everyone who matters knows the NG option is 100% legal. State and Federal Government, advocacy groups, etc. Look at the language used in news stories and press releases. "Illegal" isn't being used to describe the Guard's activation or involvement. There are "concerns." The boogie man is coming!!!! Drone strikes for everyone!!!!

Whinging and whining trying to make this something it is not. Political theater.
 
Only leftist democrats could stage an event that gets Elon and Trump to both post "common ground" tweets on social media.

Plus - I'm all about Californians setting fire to their state. Hot dry summer and flames in California...
...more PT drill Sergeant - more PT

Why not. '72 GOP and Dem conventions were both held in Miami. Nixon was concerned about hippy riots. He sent 2nd Bn 6th Marines--my unit--and a battalion from the 82nd Airborne. We lived in a tent city between runways at Homestead AFB and practiced riot control drills and bashing hippy brains on the tarmac every day.

Go big or go home.

Moderation is for cowards.
 
Well, according To KABC in Los Angeles, this "is just a bunch of people having a good time watching cars burn"
Having a good time watching cars burn?
HAVING A GOOD TIME WATCHING CARS BURN !!

- then the Mayor went full Kevin Bacon from Animal House - "all is well, remain calm"
Well alright then girls and boys - we might as well embrace the chaos - its time to throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care.
WAVE.THEM.LIKE.YOU.JUST.DONT.CARE.

Hey girls, hey boys
Superstar DJs here we go!
Somebody say 'ho' (ho)
Say 'ho, ho' (ho, ho)
Now somebody, anybody, everybody scream...
...the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
(We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn)
(Burn, motherfucker, burn)

Don't send in the National Guard - send them some gasoline.

Same thing in '82 at 7th Marines in Pendleton. Riots in LA over the "chokehold" the police kept killing "nice citizens" with.

It as a big deal news deal at the time. Noone wanted anything to do with "riot control, stateside"
