The Atlantic: Even the men and women of the National Guard seemed flummoxed, at times, over what exactly they were supposed to be doing in the nation's capital. ... Their mission is ostensibly to stop violent crime, but many here and beyond fear that Washington is being used as a test case--the blueprint for Trump to deploy the National Guard across the country as a paramilitary police force--and that Americans are being conditioned to accept authoritarianism.
There is also the concern that the Guard is not actually making much of a difference. To wit: On Wednesday around 3 p.m.--less than a week after Trump declared on social media that "Washington, D.C. is SAFE AGAIN!"--a woman was stabbed near a major intersection along the city's H Street corridor. Guard members had been passing through the intersection all day, and a trio happened to be finishing lunch on the patio of a taqueria directly across the street when the stabbing happened. Still, the suspect managed to flee.
