The Posse Comitatus Act is a nearly 150-year-old federal law that limits the U.S. military’s role in enforcing domestic laws. At its core, experts say the law reflects America’s long-standing belief that law enforcement should remain in civilian hands, separate from military power.

The criminal statute prohibits military enforcement of domestic law. It also prevents the military from investigating local crimes, overriding local law enforcement or compelling certain behavior.

What Trump is trying to do is not only against this law but the Constitution.
Trump has been running this country like a dictator for over 6 months now and it is time that Congress got their head out of their ass and do something about it before it is too late.

That applies to federal military forces. The National Guard prior to 1903 was called the "Organized Militia." It is state controlled--unless federalized under certain circumstances--and can be used for a variety of purposes that the federal forces can't be used for, including law enforcement.

Clearly Safiyah Riddle, the author of the piece knows shit about the US military and is talking smack after maybe 5 minutes of research. She also obviously doesn't know the US Coast Guard is a quasi-military service that is run, in peacetime, by the Treasury Department, not the DoD. It originally was called the Revenue Cutter Service until 1915 when the lifeguard service was combined with it to form the Coast Guard.

Here's a brain fuck for you from the article

"The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to deploy troops during invasions, rebellions or when local authorities can’t maintain order."

The police DC police were hardly keeping order.

Only Trump believed that. And he lied.
