    thank you for the insight. In my country Germany it is prohibited to use the military in the interior, except for relief in natural catastrophes. Unfortunately this is something where the right wing nut jobs love to “open the debate” every decade or so.

        Ya, i think you’re pretty much correct here.

        Also to add, the National Guard members are also much better trained and expected to hold much higher standards because they are still a hand/finger of the trained military…so, just because they are told to show up anywhere (example this picture) doesn’t mean they all got itchy trigger fingers and things could go bad real fast; to compare to most other events with other uniform types we hear about all the time….

      Don’t know if that is still holding up, but the German ministry of defence put terrorist attacks on the same list as natural disasters in their „Weißbuch“ around 2016. So theoretically we could have, what for historical reason we should never see again: The military enforcing inland. And while in Bavaria climate crisis protesters are held in detention under anti terror law, the picture discussed here could become reality in Germany faster than we might think.
