Not a good move. Leave it to governors and national guard. Even in the worst 1960s riots I don’t think the insurrection act was brought out.
I think it even may that that is what the Left is attempting to provoke Trump into doing. I think it’s a bad move.
We did it during the LA Riots in 1992
Even in the worst 1960s riots I dont 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.

You didn’t bother to check out a bloody thing before judging the President, did you? It was invoked after Hurricane Hugo (1989) and the Los Angeles - Rodney King riots (1992), and was even amended in 2006 to clarify that it should have been used after Hurrican Katrina (2005): “During the crucial hours that followed the hurricanes landfall, Governor Blanco asked President Bush to send everything you have got. However, the Governor refused to relinquish control of the state National Guard troops to the President. Moreover, Governor Blanco did not want federal troops entering the area to assist with law enforcement.”
In fact, the media’s labelling it as “The Insurrection Act” is itself political mischief. The current act is called, “Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order.”
You are a bad move.
It won't work.
