Trump deploys National Guard to Los Angeles

It’s his job to protect our country from invasion…hope he scratches 😉

"Violating the Posse Comitatus Act carries legal consequences, though prosecutions are rare. The law establishes that anyone who “willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws” is guilty of a federal offense, punishable by a fine, imprisonment for up to two years, or both. Prosecutors must demonstrate intentional misuse of military personnel in a prohibited enforcement role."

Your phrasing is fascism.

There is no legal basis for the California National Guard to be used against the People of the State esp. where the Governor and local officials have determined it is completely unnecessary.

LOL @ "completely unnecessary".
Looks pretty necessary to me:

And those "few" arrests and cases of property damage are growing rapidly with no end in sight.
These are terrorists, not protesters:

OMG, People were yelling at cops! Send in the Marines!

Yeah, a few fires the first two of paper cups and a piece of wood, both in the middle of the street. A car on fire which is somewhat serious, but nothing local law enforcement hasn't seen before.

Your video just proves how Bass and Newsom correct.

Tell it all big boy…

“Federal courts have upheld these restrictions. In United States v. Red Feather (1975), the court ruled that indirect military assistance, such as providing equipment or intelligence, does not necessarily violate the act, but direct participation in arrests or searches does”

“Several legal exceptions allow military involvement in domestic law enforcement. The most notable is the Insurrection Act, which grants the president authority to deploy federal troops to suppress insurrections, domestic violence, or unlawful obstructions of federal law when local authorities are unable or unwilling to maintain order”

I think the word you're looking for is "vandals". Not legal, but again, nothing local authorities can't handle.

Thanks.

Hegseth isn't talking about "indirect military assistance, such as providing equipment or intelligence".

The LAPD and Sheriff's Department have been deployed so they are certainly "willing" and the unrest is relatively minor.

They are doing a lot more than yelling at them.
They are throwing rocks at police cars driving by and smashing their windshields, setting their cars on fire, throwing explosives at them.
But if it makes you feel better to claim they are just yelling at them, stay happy in your delusion.

The LA mayor said in a news conference that she has ordered the police to stand down and not do anything to stop them, so now what?

That's all that was in the first video you posted, so I responded to that.

You're grossly exaggerating as is your MO. There have been some examples of what you describe, but the levels of violence and property destruction have been minor with no serious injuries. This is clearly not a situation which meets the legal requirements to federalize the State National Guard without a request from the Governor.

If she did, that was after the National Guard was deployed.

No it was the very first day when she went on the news. She ordered LA cops not to help ICE/FBI in any way. She was in full support of the "protesters."
