- Trump sent Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles
- California challenges legality of use of Guard troops
Aug 11 (Reuters) - A landmark trial kicks off on Monday over the use by Donald Trump’s administration of National Guard forces to support its deportation efforts and quell protests in Los Angeles, in a legal challenge to the U.S. president’s break from long-standing norms against deploying troops on American streets.
The three-day non-jury trial before San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer will determine if the government violated a 19th century law that bars the military from civil law enforcement when Trump deployed the troops in June, as the state of California claims in its legal challenge.
When is the military going to start protecting the constitution and the people from a tyrant. I can’t imagine there are yesmen in every rank of command, is there!?
Every soldier is trained to quiet the voice inside their head that tells them to stop or they wouldn’t be a good enough soldier to make command in the first place.
That is the difference with officer training.
My experience was different. But, then again, not American.
Uh …
Ah shit!
Sir, yes, sir!!
