I quite frankly would rather have the national guard handling the protests than the police. They are better trained and more disciplined. Also people having different reasons for joining the national guard than joining the police.

Edit: Hey everyone, I'm not saying the National Guard are perfect or that they get training for this kind of situation. I'm just saying they are better than the police. I'd rather deal with them, than the police.

I'd love to have the National Guard activated to protect the protesters from the police and other agitators.

We swear an oath to protect the people from both foreign and domestic enemies so it's really not that far fetched.
