Isn't it bad enough that we have to put up with cops in darth vader uniforms at these large events? How are they going to be more effective than what the cops already do besides escalating the level of force? Also, I thought this responsibility was on the state governors and the national guard in times of crisis.
The military has no place doing this and is in violation of Posse Comitatus.
I think the real question is what are they getting ready for? Are they expecting an economic collapse, another terrorist attack, or some 'electioneering' protests?
I assume they aren't trained in domestic laws either. How does that even work? Do they perform and arrest or just harass people if they see them doing something they think is wrong? Do they even have to have warrants?
This is very scary.
