This is Truth!!
really?
I served in the Military for thirty-five years before my medical retirement.
I was assigned to Nat Gd units in several states as a full time trainer and the CinC was the Governor, unless the unit was federally mobilized, and then it was transferred to the potus.
In some states the guard fights fires, helps with flood duty, and, in some cases, riot duty (Newark comes to mind). When mobilized for War, they are federal, not state troops. We did train to "police the streets". With a duel mission, NG troops train for both local support and as a back-up (and sometimes in front of) Active duty troops.
As an NG trainer, we prepared for civil duties, fire, flood, civil insurrection and the like. In NJ we even had a "weather route" to pick up and deliver needed medical personnel to hospitals in order to keep them open during extreme storms.
Chicago is a failed city. They cannot clean this city up alone, they just do not have the resources. Is chicago on the same level as newark was during their riots?? Not yet, but it is getting there. NG troops would support the local PeeDee and they would be under the control of the Governor.
As for Armed troops. In newark we were not "allowed" to hot load our weapons. My Scouts carried an extra mag(marked in red paint) with silvertips, as a "just in case". Not legal at the time, but we were not stupid either.
