since we're not a state, he doesn't need our Mayor's permission.

Black Hawk helicopters and APCs rolling through the streets are active duty, not national guard.

I've seen reports that the Pentagon is keeping them here as a show of force without actually using them for law enforcement. Either way, they're here and heavily armed. It's disconcerting.

My only hope is that soldiers are better trained and more diverse than police and may be less likely to kill Americans.
