Bluster

Untrained, overweight and self-indulgent. Probably couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo if he tried and would **** all over himself the minute fire is returned. This is Trumps base.

I honestly need to do some research on what he can and cannot do (Outside of Washingon DC, the rules don't really apply there). There are certainly some options for action without the State's governor, Arkansas 1957 is proof of that. If the folks in charge have any sense, they will probably be used first to replace police in non-front-line positions. Securing police stations and jails, monitoring stations (to include Border Patrol, I recall the USBP were brought up for protests in California around 2003) letting the cops free to go to the streets. There is precedent for that, and it's less inflammatory. However, as mentioned, the 1992 riots were quelled with military support. Only one or two firefights, it took particular gumption to take on organised armed soldiers, I served with some folks who were involved. The use of the insurrection act if State assets become overwhelmed isn't the worst idea, but as far as I know, the States aren't there yet and it could have been rather more diplomatically invoked than the combative narrative he's been using.
