    The approval process for the use of National Guard forces in the District of Columbia has been streamlined by the Pentagon. The announcement comes after months of study following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.http://apne.ws/CHXy5Fe

        The defense secretary will have sole authority to approve requests that would involve D.C. National Guard personnel participating in civil law enforcement or that would require their deployment within 48 hours.

        Lloyd Austin did a wonderful job of winning the Afghan War; his modern warfare tactics will be forever remembered. Giving him more authority and power was an easy choice to make.

        So now according to @AP a group of people trying to violently subvert democracy by hunting law makers in the capital during an official session of congress to certify an election against the current admin is a "riot"? @Ap would call this a coup if it was any other country.

        You cannot read anything uncritically, not even AP articles. Just look at this weird hitpiece, where taxidrivers swear theyve seen small cheap motorcycles flatten old men.https://www.montereyherald.com/2013/07/05/a-plague-of-motorcycles/ …

        This strikes me as violating the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which has long restricted the military from being used to enforce domestic law. I get that there is a loophole because DC isn't a state, which might make it technically legal, but it violates the spirit of that law.
