I think they’ll have the same beanbags, rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper ball ammunition as police. Deploying the military to fire live ammunition on protesters is a good way to turn a mass protest into a mass uprising. Why would they bother? It’d make more sense to use the same less-than-lethal rounds and let the protests fizzle out like usual.
The police still shoot with beanbags. Something tells me the national guard is using live ammo in the same scenario.

Well if the George floyd protests are any indication, I didn’t see no less lethal on the guard.
At the same time, nobody fucked with them from what I saw, so that’s good I guess.
