Even in the worst 1960s riots I don’t think the insurrection act was brought out.

This time it really IS insurrection.
The troops will be deployed strategically. They need to break the insurgents and the governors with unarmed NG are incapable of that.
“They were confined to an inner city.”
No. They were simultaneously in multiple cities all across the country and in So. California they spread beyond L.A.. I know, we lived through them. Same in NYC area. Altogether they were far bigger and wider than these riots have been.
