National guard participation
My grandfather was a member of the national guard during the riots, and was deployed to help maintain order. He was given a firearm, but no ammunition, under orders to act intimidating, but not actively engage the rioters, according to his account. Can anyone verify this? 2600:1007:B1A4:FEE:F4FB:DBDB:64E0:E31A (talk) 18:00, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
