Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said the California National Guard is being deployed to Los Angeles overnight Saturday as the nation's second-largest city faces another night of rioting in response to the death of George Floyd.
"The California National Guard is being deployed to Los Angeles overnight to support our local response to maintain peace and safety on the streets of our city," Garcetti tweeted late Saturday night.
Surely it's inconceivable, that any of this is related to two-and-a-half months of shutdown, of denial of basic business activity and societal function? It's impossible, isn't it, that unemployed, desperate and just plainly annoyed people would lash-out, given the least pretext?
Governors begging the federal government to bail them out again? Oh the irony.
Most of the time, the National Guard is under the control of individual states, with the state governor acting as commander in chief. The Mayor's request for the guard was made to the Governor.
You clearly aren't a scholar in government or law enforcement.
The news is that Garcetti only called out the troops after many residents of Beverly Hills complained that the mob was getting way too close to them.
Uh, oh, tough decision; curry favor with the thugs or alienate the dem mega-donor base?
As usual, money talks the loudest.

Sounds like a good rumor/conspiracy.
Beverly Hills is NOT a part of the City of Los Angeles. Moreover, maintaining public safety and order is in the interest of everyone (residents and elected officials who might want to run for other offices in the future).
