AP: National Guard troops ordered to Los Angeles by Trump find quiet streets and few protests

[spanone]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Around 300 National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles early Sunday on orders from President Donald Trump, staging outside a federal complex that remained largely quiet and without major protests following two days of clashes with immigration authorities.

The deployment marked the first time in six decades that a state’s national guard was activated without a request from its governor, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

On Sunday morning, some of the troops were stationed outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, dressed in tactical gear and holding long guns in front of armored vehicles.

A small number of protesters gathered at the scene, along with Rep. Maxine Waters, a Democrat, who demanded entry to the facility.

2. And that should be the headline

everywhere. Good job by the outlet above (ap news), but unfortunately, much of the corporate media is all in on hyping this along with the administration.

3. Good for Maxine Waters!

4. Why doesn't he just release more water and flood the protestors?

Seriously one of the dumbest things ever be ever heard of anyone doing. But we’ve forgotten about that. COVFEFE was just laughable but this was knuckle dragging stupid.

5. Everyone knows he's trying to provoke. I'm glad many there are not falling for it.

Melt away, come back later.

6. I didn't think he could call out the NG,

But, from the article:
"trump invoked a legal provision allowing him to deploy federal service members when there is ”a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.”"

Hegseth is threatening to send in the Marines.

This all sounds like dangerous bullshit.

7. How long before he starts bragging about "saving" L.A. from the protesters?
