I think you might well be right. All I know is that the Military would not want to be in the middle of this.
They fight for the Nation, not a man, and if push comes to shove, I think they want to be able to stand down against orders to deploy in the united states Illegally. As is suggested by some in talking about 80K troops training in Georgia to act as peace keepers inside the country. They can’t legally do that, deploy to function in that capacity. Perhaps they do not want to play their trump card too early?
Heck if I know. I am most likely real far off the mark. I am too tired, not thinking straight.
I think I heard of an incident in Samson, AL, where a unit interfered with police work in a murder case???
