So, I ran across this today:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/10/chicago-lawmaker-send-national-guard-stop-violence/

I like this one sentence:
She also asked that the governor appoint a task force to “guide the
behavior of the National Guard. We don’t want them to have us fearing them
also. We want them there for safety and protection.”

And then there's this one:

Rep. Mary Flowers, also a Democrat, disagreed with Ms. Davis’ assessment
that troops are needed, but concurs “that the governor needs to do
something. We must be respected in our community. We must have jobs in our
community.”
So lets see, you want the National Guard to help with violence, but you
don't want the people fearing them. Fair enough I guess, but what exactly
do you want them to do? I mean, if they are not going to carry their
weapons, and just escort people around unarmed, well I am sure that won't
last long since the criminals will still have their weapons. If you arm the
National Guard, you are going to have a VERY VERY restrictive ROE to draft.
And what happens if one of the soldiers is shot at and they do what they
are trained to do, which is shoot back? What if there is collateral damage?
The questions go on and on.
Personally I don't think that this is the right answer. There really has to
be a better way to deal with the violence there. And gun control is
obviously not the ans
