Hmmm. I’m not sure how to feel about this. It makes me a little uneasy. Judging by the comments, I’m not the only one. What do y’all think?

National Guard shouldn't be used as policemen

National Guard shouldn't be used as policemen

Except in cases of natural disasters like hurricanes, tornados, etc.

In those situations they aren't really functioning as police

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 143-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both democracy and personal liberty.

What happened to all the social workers these defund the police dems said was the answer to solving the crime problem?

The city of New Bedford's School Committee last week asked for the N.G. troops to be deployed within the local high school to curb the violence.
They were refused.
Maybe this will change some hacks perspective going forward.

So the guard being used as security detail checking bags is illegal?

They can shoot looters so they kind of are.

Looters on the subway?

Robbing vending machines?

Good point. In that case they should use the butt of their rifles. If they have no authority to use force then they won't help.

So before defund the police there would be cops by the turnstiles. Now many jump over. Revenue is way down.
Follow the money.

Leftists cry about policing and now policing in their cities will look a lot like it does in third world countries where paramilitary units with AKs hang out on the streets. Maybe NYC has actually devolved to that level.

Leftists cry about too much policing and now policing in their cities will look a lot like it does in third world countries where paramilitary units with AKs hang out on the streets. Maybe NYC has actually devolved to that level.

The city council has been trying to make things tough for cops to do their job. Every arrest is racist aditude.

I know this will start an argument, but State National Guards are not considered Federal Troops unless Federalized by the POTUS
