Trump never intended to use military to stop the rioting. It was a show meant to be a distraction, while the real action - placing federal tactical units was going on behind the scenes. Brian Cates:  https://threader.app/thread/1268573651672104967  The whole thread is worth the read.  Here is an excerpt :  Remember what Barr announced on Sunday:  The federal response to the Antifa violence & rioting & looting is being facilitated through the 56 FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces embedded within all 56 of the FBI field offices across America.  Federal agencies are not limited to just the FBI.  There are multiple federal agencies involved in this.  The US Marshals are involved in this. The ATF is involved in this. The Bureau of Prisons [trained riot squads] are involved in this. The DEA is involved in this. Trump PUT ON A SHOW for 3 days by shuffling 2-3 military units around where the press could see them, the 86th Airborne and the 1st Cav. While reporters & Democrats FREAKED OUT about that, distracting themselves quite nicely, Trump & Barr continued to coordinate the response of MULTIPLE FEDERAL AGENCIES being coordinated to get to the riot scenes thru the FBI's JTTF's. Everything is now in place, so now they can ANNOUNCE it. The tactical units from the FBI, the ATF, the BOP, the DEA, the US Marshals, and other federal agencies, have now been successfully dispersed & positioned.  Trump was never going to us the US military to go in and stop the rioting.
