The president deploying the national guard, let alone the fucking MARINES, to “assist police” is a direct violation of the posse comitatus act, which was written to SPECIFICALLY PREVENT ANY PRESIDENT from using the military as law enforcement
Trump has been using the Constitution as toilet paper with zero consequences. Why do you think he cares about this?
We know who is really behind this stuff: Russell Vought.
The remaining question is: how to make it look like a suicide?
Doesn't matter if it's illegal, if there's no consequences
This is what so many people fail to understand.
When your boss steals $100 from your paycheck, you're supposed to file a wage claim, wait years for your day in court, and even when you show that the company stole from you, the punishment for them is a small fine ($50 per person first time, $100 per person every time after that). You don't even get the fine. The fine is paid to the state.
Now flip it around and imagine what happens when you steal $100 from the company. Immediate legal repercussions, multiple court dates, probation if you're lucky and jail if you're not.
The entire system is designed to fuck people as hard as possible while reserving the kid gloves for corporations and oligarchs.
I am gleefully awaiting the day protesters start disappearing federal agents/national guard. Fuck all fascists, even the ones "just following orders". No habeas corpus is a two way street motherfuckers

Well, it actually does matter this time around. I think this is going to come back to Trump if we make it through long enough. California doesn't fuck around.
The "police" are already illegally supporting ICE in their sanctuary city.
Pigs are always class traitors
