#3 I wouldn’t have thought ...

Everything You Need to Know About Martial Law

"But contrary to popular belief, simply calling up federal or state military members to assist during times of natural emergency or civil unrest is not necessarily the same thing as implementing martial law."

California National Guard

"When under the control of its state governor, National Guard functions range from limited actions during non-emergency situations to full scale law enforcement of martial law when local law enforcement officials can no longer maintain civil control."

#5 In this case, I bet "help" means "open any bottlenecks in distribution."

#6 Oh Nos, people with assault weapons on the streets of SanFran. [don't worry, they won't get ammo so the locals can relieve them of carrying that iron].

#7 Posse Comitatus only applies to federal military. As long as the state Guard units operate under state authority and funding, they can be employed in law enforcement activity. Even with Posse Comitatus, if the Insurrection Act is applied, federal forces can be utilized.

#8 Maybe the guard unit has mobile coolers and can handle transportation of the bodies out of the city. This activity will potentially help Newsom in the polls as each stiff can be fully identified in the process so that his or her voting can be made more consistent going forward at a lower cost. Voting stiffs with out of state registrations can can be cataloged for future requests for absentee ballots in potential presidential primaries.

#9 Fentanyl comes from Mexico, as I recall. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to send the National Guard to interdict the border between Mexico and California?

One would think so but, remember, we're talking about Newsom so it's unrealistic to expect anything he does to make sense.

#10 I guess they were used to clean up Tenderloin so Newsom could walk through and yuk it up for a photo shoot.

#12 I was the initial Counterdrug Coordinator and Commanding Officer of the California National Guard Counterdrug Program stared in 1991. A Title 32 Active Duty unit yhat at its peak had over 450 active duty soldiers and airmen supporting federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. It has existed since then and among its activities is a significant intelligence capability supporting analysis and assessment of trafficking. This is actually a positive, not an act of martial law. There are decades of expertise and skills the CNG can bring to this.

#15 You want to interdict fentanyl at the choke points: the border and factories that make it. Once in the cities, the drugs are quickly distributed to hundreds of thousands of gang bangers, immigrants and illegal alien dealers.
