  @jeffjarvis Yes, that's alarming. But that's not what those soldiers signed up for. I wonder how that will play out? I wonder when journalists will be able to speak with the Guards that were sent to L.A.?

    President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles has resulted in low morale among the ranks and the misuse of federal power, as the troops are not being deployed to protect the public but to intimidate those who dissent.
