Even the reporter says "they're testing their response time and coordination tactics"..... but one has to ask..... is there not a "Posse Comitatus Act" in our Federal Law statutes that keeps the military off of American streets?

I cannot speak for the US military as a whole; there may be some secret plan in the works, but as a Guardsman, I can tell you we do routinely practice our riot control training, where we line up with shields batons and helmets, but we've been doing that for over 20 years. I have yet to actually do any of that outside our armory.

Practice is one thing.




Will you take up arms against family and friends should your government order you to?




If they are rioting against unconstitutional actions of the government?

Add to that question "if they are rioting".

National Guard units operate under the authority of a state governor.

Anyway, it looks to me like this thread is just another exercise of paranoia and fear-mongering.

Seems a POTUS can federalize the National Guard anytime he "sees a need" for it,especially to squash "Insurrections" in the US itself!

It's only paranoia until it happens!

Would seem to me that those who fail to believe it could happen would sure lose a lot of friends if it did...... one way or the other!

Wonder how the Jews felt?

Yes they do but they can also be Federalised(I think that's the term) when they are called into active service and under command of the President.
