Right... Because you need 700 highly trained military personnel to deal with civilians.

They should refuse the orders and arrest Trump and everyone else involved in this shit. Which includes a lot of the administration.
Traitor president.
The sooner Americans learn to accept this is the historical event currently unfolding, the sooner we can take care of him and his enablers.
"Assist" is doing some heavy lifting there...
I keep seeing people talking about the Marines and the National Guard being deployed, and this is certainly egregious and the blame for it rests squarely on Trump's head... But I have not seen many people mention that the LAPD are not being deployed by Trump. They are being deployed by Californian Politicians, and from the livestreams and videos I've seen, the police are the ones shooting LTL rounds and flahsbangs at civilians and reporters. Let's not lose sight of the fact that the police response has been unacceptably violent, national guard or not. It is the violence from the police that has historically, and will in this instance as well escalate the situation.

Not American so could be wrong, but there's a law that they can't do police services unless activated by the state not the president so that will be interesting
I hope their always faithful to their country, not their dictator
You had three homonyms in your sentence and took the bold strategy of using the same spelling for all of them but got it right twice.
66%, still passing.

From what I've heard about the high integrity of the U.S. Marines, I wouldn't be surprised to see them on the civilian side of the line.
Protestors should start bringing packs of Crayola to lure them across the line.
Or just start throwing crayons at the Marines, I'll bet the dress blues in my closet they'll laugh at that.
It depends. One of the things you want to do as a dictator is to bring in units from distant areas, because the local ones will see the people as their neighbors. Trump made that mistake, so I doubt the Cal Guard is going to do anything. The Marines are from Twentynine Palms, but they could be from anywhere originally.
