National Guard in DC will be able to use lethal force at the discretion of commanders

In Washington DC and in most jurisdictions around the world, non-lethal weapons are de rigeur when dealing with civil disturbances, but given the recent events of Wednesday, it is felt that more caution is in order.

According to Yahoo News, Brigadier General David Wood said in an interview:

“There’s no hiding the fact that soldiers and airmen do have lethal force with them. How those rules of the use of force are engaged is just dependent on the scenario and in that situation. We are going to try to deescalate as much as we can [before taking up weapons]. The way we deploy it will depend on the situation and the commander’s intent.”

Just to note, in my community, probably 50-60% of the people are armed at any given time.
