    Honest question(s):

    Does the National Guard for a particular state answer to the governor as their “Commander in Chief”? What about State Police, County Sherrifs, local police?

    If the former is “yes,” and the latter is “no,” that would suggest that National Guard being mobilized is a better protection against the actions of fascist police than not.

      Sorry, I was bitching about the cops, not the National Guard.

      You’re correct, they’re more trustworthy, and he’s right to deploy them and not just rely on cops who don’t respect him at all.

      I’m just pissed that it’s been allowed to fester this long and has gotten so bad.
