Despite comments made by Donald Trump just now (“we’ll see”), the US military is set to temporarily deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles while additional National Guard troops arrive in the city, a US official has told Reuters.
The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a battalion would be sent, but for now, the Insurrection Act is not expected to be invoked.
The official added that the situation was fluid and could change.
Who is going to enforce any of those laws? The same police who are all too happy brutalizing peaceful protestors? I think we’re way past the point of laws making any difference with this administration.
You’re not wrong, but it still needs to be called out. And our troops need to know that it is incumbent upon them to refuse to follow unlawful orders.
They’re the federal government’s troops not yours and they’ll follow their masters orders they are not on the same side as you.
