Hector Amaya, a security forces officer with the 113th Squadron, was patrolling the National Mall with fellow Airmen when he witnessed a Park Police officer being assaulted while directing traffic on August 16, 2025.

Suspect was evidently lacking in situational awareness. Good job by Air National Guard Staff Sgt. Hector Amaya!

I wonder what the rules of engagement are here. Anyway, it might be a good idea to swear in these Guardsman as (temporary) Deputy US Marshals. That would give them police powers and a bit of protection if things go south.

So glad to see Trump reassert federal control over the district and get the outrageous crime under control. This is a -disgrace- in front of the world that nobody else had the backbone to address head on.

Not even Ronald Reagan took over DC. You would think he would have done it.

Here's a step in the right direction:

There has to be some of Obama’s billion rounds of 40 cal ammo scattered all over DC, along with millions of 40 cal pistols that got dropped from service almost before they really started getting issued.

I am assuming the park police “officer” was a woman.
