Yeah, and also, while I'm still really pissed about fascist leaders trying to do fascist shit even if they're dumb as hell about it, I seem to recall that during the height of LA protests earlier this year the NG troops were a lot less likely to be violent towards protesters than the LAPD troops because NG has a totally different culture that actually encourages deescalation and just cleaning up broken stuff (whether it got broken during a protest or natural disaster). Like, it's completely fucked that I'm hoping one armed occupying force will make another armed occupying force act less shitty, but I think on the ground the NG's presence might actually cause ICE goons to be less likely to shoot innocent people.
That all being said, I hope a federal judge kicks the Trump adminstration's ass to the moon for pulling this shit.
Yeah, ICE want cops/NG to stand between them and protestors, but like in Chicago if cops/NG do t show up, ICE will shoot peaceful protestors with actual bullets.
The real test is going to be when cops/NG are there, and ICE still shoots a peaceful protestor with real bullets.
We'll have to see which side cops/NG fall on.
If they'll go against peaceful protestors, or arrest/detain the unidentified and masked person who just fucking shot someone
I don't want to see it, but fuck do I want to know which way it'll shake out...
It's going to be a major inflection point
