@cbsnews: National Guardsmen were seen armed with weapons on the boardwalk of The Wharf in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. A military official told CBS News earlier in the day that some members of the Guard would be armed starting tonight. The step is an escalation in Pres. Trump’s takeover of policing in the nation’s capital and comes as nearly 2,000 National Guard members are stationed in the city, with the arrival last week of hundreds of troops from several Republican-led states. #nationalguard #washingtondc
Sooo national guardsmen being armed is wrong? I’m confused at the point being made here

It’s about time our streets were cleaned up. It’s sad it had to come to this point but at least it’s getting done.

I think every capital of the world should have their nations guard patrolling, should be the safest place in the county

oh no, the national guard, armed and guarding the Capitol. the McDonalds in Cincinnati that i go to has a unit constantly patrolling the parking lot. it's nice not worrying about somebody breaking into my truck when i go in for lunch. I'd imagine DC residents feel the same
