Trump is spinning further out of control, causing more chaos, and lawlessly consolidating authoritarian power.
Courts ruled his CalGuard takeovers and local militarizations are illegal.
If Trump lived in reality, he'd see crime dropping in SF. Troops don't belong on American streets.

Man oh man.
Kent state was several orders of fuck-ups.
What it wasn't was intentional.
Speaking from personal experience, because I spent a long time in the CalGuard... I got LOTS of riot training. CalGuard took it really seriously after 1992.
By virtue of what my unit was we got LAPD training.

i don't want to dunk on any of the people who replied or quoted this with a "well ackshully the national guard will shoot protesters, look at kent state," but my request is to a) remember that kent state was over half a century ago and b) read about the NG's response in its aftermath
and if you call out the national guard and tell them to, against their training, their mission, and likely the intuitions of the service members, use force against protesters, there is a good chance you are on the path to losing face, with no other way to escalate. (3/?)

The reason they’re sending Marines instead of more of the 20,000+ remaining CalGuard is that Trump wants to hear it said that he sent in the Marines.

Unfortunately, this is probably mostly for show; unless a judge issues an injunction *and* forces DoD to comply almost immediately, it's unlikely to change much.
If he was serious, @governor.ca.gov could simply instruct the CalGuard that the DoD orders are illegal, and order them to stand down.

Not that I know of - they're not conducting law enforcement operations, they're supporting the agencies conducting the operations. Since it's CalGuard operating within CA at the direction of the CA government, it's not really an issue that I can see anyone needing to challenge.
