The DoD doesn't step in without a Presidential Declaration, period. You think Trump is going to bailout a Left wing moron? Laughable. And yes, blue flu will keep plenty of LEO's home and the Virginia NG units will easily catch it too.

If any significant portion of law enforcement or National guard of any state deserts or refuses to keep the peace when ordered to do so, regular troops will be on the ground with the quickness.

You believing that politics has anything to do with a presidential response to a loss of public order in the above scenario is peak naïveté. Yes. Trump would activate federal troops immediately, deploy VA’s guard elsewhere, and shut it down.

Eta: but I must reiterate—this entire situation is a nothing burger. There is no law, and there will be no law like the one Northam is going on about

that would be a very high cost of enforcement, which is one of the goals

troops, thousands more police, judges, jailers, prisons, few conviction due to jury nullification

billions and billions spent enforcing their will on a population that wants no part of it

keep it up enough and they will resent their money going to that instead of their own roads, schools and pet projects

They will eventually quit.

Keep the peace? Refusing to enforce these laws isn't going to result in civil unrest, just politicians stamping their angry little feet.

My 20+ years in the military and extensive legal training on deployment of Title 10 forces on American soil calls bullshite on your assertions here. You are wrong.
