No.

I mean, the post is still relevant. But a three month old account with one post and two comments could be a question mark.

You can take a good bit from that. Bearing in mind that the understaffing was by design and Diapers was shitting himself with excitement watching a crowd of morons fight for him, thus rendering the chance that reinforcement would be called less than zero…

All that aside and given the force on scene: there were no rubber bullets. There was little tear gas. There was no effort for crowd control until after things turned violent.

A couple other people provided the info for your questions but bear in mind that although he is able to do so, the conditions set by the legal bits allowing it were not met and are being challenged. This is why Marines are being sent in addition to NG troops. If the NG deployment is negated, there’s not as much that can be done for a deployment of federal troops.

The State Defense Force is only a thing in some of the states, and an active unit in less than that. They’re really not even a consideration in any defense strategy.

The dumbass takes pleasure in seeing people fighting and dying for what he perceives as his sake.

The NG actually is the militia. They’re normally state level but can be called up to federal level for reasons that are currently being badly misused.

The Guard was federalized which takes them out of Newsom’s control and puts them in Dipshit’s control.
