Any deployment of Active duty mil or Federalized NG inside CONUS will require the Act or martial law.
JTTF. Like the beautiful takedown of a she-antifa.
Special Ops may well go in and snag the provocateurs/leaders or something.

Well that’s what I would think too, however, I’m not sure that is true anymore. Given all the stuff that has been passed since 9/11. I do know that Federal Agencies can request assistance of DOD by memo. Given the explosions and arson, ATF for example might ask for help of a special team.
And what if we have foreigners from other militaries(sleepers) bombing and setting fires? Would the military be able to be used for that?
And in a state of emergency, the President has a lot of extra powers, and many of the laws restricting use of military have exceptions.
And there’s the Joint Terrorism Task Forces to be used. Also don’t forget that every agency ordered loads of arms and ammunition—ie apparently have a “swat” team/special ops type team that has Federal jurisdiction over Federal crimes.
And also the Stafford Act might just have some additional leverage to allow POTUS more options. In addition, while governors are bad-mouthing POTUS for political reasons, they may also quietly agree or ask for help-cause they have to know that such discord could hamper their own re-election.
I assume nothing, and I do believe that much is happening that we are not aware of yet. Nor will we necessarily be told about it. And I don’t know that we know all the sneaky laws that were passed —if LSM didn’t report it, who has time to read thousands of pages of US Code?
