Yea as vasa was saying that was probably training specific to natural disaster and civil unrest...all NG guys get the standard boot camp reprogramming any other soldier is first introduced to.
The National Guard are not brainless robots lol. They are people who live and work in the state they would be deployed for things like this. My dad was in the Guard during the Chicago riots in 1968 after Martian Luther King was killed. He was Sniper. They were deployed into Chicago during the worst of it but before hand they all as a group discussed what they would do if the order came down to shoot, they all agreed they would not shoot their fellow Americans!

The Commissioner just stated the area is 80 square miles, exponentially larger area than Ferguson.
The 5000 NG is a drop in the bucket, he also stated he has 5000 out of area officers too. The NG will be deployed to hold areas and protect structures, the police will be responding and moving crowds and in front lines. The NG are extra manpower to hold areas once cleared.
They wont be there till tomorrow though, that is when the curfew goes into effect lol. Talk about Democratic ignorance. The Governor should have intervened and stomped on this woman's toes yesterday.
The commissioner stated the NG are there now.
Yes, that Mayor is an example of community organizer without a clue, probably emulating her hero President.

I think the world, as a whole, is a lot more violent than when your dad was in it. Or at least the violence is being "displayed" a lot more....to the extent that it is glorified in both the heroic sense and the gangster sense.
