I got this from reddit. In one of the comments I found this about Washington state: Governor Bob Ferguson signed into law a bill that restricts out-of-state military forces from entering Washington. House Bill 1321….
I suggest we write our local governments to enact the same type of law before it is too late.
If you’re not already, I advise you to be white and male pretty quick. This is definitely a prelude to martial law.
Also straight, healthy and neurotypical.
And not poor, billionaire would be preferable.
That’s the essential ingredient
Martial law here we come
Frack, BSG was good…
Police are the violent arm of the state, the fuck he on about lol? Cops don’t protect shit but capitol.
Crime is whatever he says it is I guess, and includes but is not limited to having the wrong skin color.
Send them to the White House where the frequency and scale of the crimes is the highest
What about Posse Comitatus?
That only applies to Title 10 troops.

My understanding is that the washington law has an exemption for troops activated by the president or something. So it is mostly toothless. But it is symbolic. And in this case that is worth something.
So local police will now have access to nukes?
Because at this point that’s almost the only thing they don’t have yet.
TL;DR:
Trump just signed an executive order to send military resources (equipment, training, etc.) tonlocal police. Critics worry it could overstep civil liberties and violate laws limiting military involvement in civilian policing. The plan gives officials 90 days to figure out how to do it, and it’s likely to face legal challenges. Trump’s pushing hard on his “law and order” agenda, targeting sanctuary cities.
