The National Guard troops were from the D.C.. Many of of the Guards are African American. They were horrified in being used against their neighbors.

I don’t know what city and state it was in, but I saw a photo of a Black female police officer in riot gear on the streets, and she looked very unhappy. Some of the comments underneath the picture said she was crying, but I didn’t see anything that looked like tears, which absolutely does NOT mean they weren’t there. But she did look very unhappy, sad, or something.... like she really didn’t want to be there.
