Yeah, I’m not liking where all this is going.

So this is what they are officially calling it.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I hope the ACLU challenges this in court, and prevails.

We’ve never needed such forces before in our country, this is an outright lie. Something is afoot and we’re not stupid. Given Biden’s careless remark, something is brewing and it ain’t from without, it’s from within. No, I don’t wear tinfoil hats either but I didn’t spend 31 years in LE without becoming skeptical and know BS when I see or hear it.
See, it doesn’t fit, for disasters, that’s what FEMA is for, nothing fits. Local LE dept. ARE equipped for disasters, I’ve been there, done that. The LEOs I know that are still working have been cross-trained in Homeland Security and go on FEDERAL details concerning illegal immigrants (this in Texas), disasters come and go and we’ve always handled it, called in the Guard when needed, that’s what THEY are for.
I originally understood that several thousand were from 3ID and I’m sure they bolstered that number from other units, many of those young men have several combat deployments under their belt, not sure if they have hurricane relief training also. /s

The military is not law enforcement and are not the best at handling terror strikes. The civilians have plenty of training and capabilities. This is about something else altogether. I fear this is about controlling We the People once something is announced that we won’t tolerate.

What scares me is this totally by-passes the National Guard, whose job should be to protect us domestically. I suppose the problem being is that the Guard is controlled by the governors of each state, not the executive branch. Also, presumably, it would be difficult to get Guard members to "pacify" residents of their own home state, and more effective to have federal troops to do it.

In the event of civil disturbances and other types of national emergencies, he said, other designated U.S. military units could be ordered by the president to help civil authorities establish order as part of the Garden Plot domestic security plan.
