The threat is further compounded by the fact that our Governor is in an awkward position, with respect to calling up the National Guard, in advance of the actual conflict, lest he appear to be trying to sensationalize the problem, for political advantage. That is assuming he stays in the race until the Convention.

The threat is further compounded by the fact that our Governor is in an awkward position, with respect to calling up the National Guard, in advance of the actual conflict, lest he appear to be trying to sensationalize the problem, for political advantage.

Here's what a responsinle governor does.

1. Train and equip the NG for riot control. This should have begun months ago.

2. Ensure max. number of NG are drilling during convention, so that they can be deployed quickly if necessary.

NG are typically not deployed unless LE is overwhelmed, or that seems imminent. NG are last-in, first-out.
