Quoting: Stumpknocker I served in the 82nd, and cannot imagine a deployment against US citizens, even though I strongly disagree with the looting bullshit. Now, if their group, Antifa or whatever, is designated a terrorist group, that may open them up to military action. I don't know. I was under the same impression as you, but then I did some quick research. There is an exemption to Posse Comitatuts for cases of civil unrest.

[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255)[1] (until 2016, found at 10 US Code, Chapter 15, §§ 331–335, renumbered to 10 USC, Chapter 13, §§ 251–255) that governs the ability of the President of the United States to deploy military troops within the United States to put down lawlessness, insurrection, and rebellion. The general purpose is to limit presidential power, relying on state and local governments for initial response in the event of insurrection. Coupled with the Posse Comitatus Act, presidential powers for federal military law enforcement on U.S. soil and unincorporated territories are limited and delayed. |

The vastly more important aspect of the declaration is NOT to allow direct military involvement via deployment with weapons. It is to give legal authorization to utilize the vast surveillance apparatus against them. They will know exactly who is talking to whom. FISA goes both ways. |
