The Marines and the staff of the National Guard, which are used under the protests in Los Angeles, will operate according to the same rules of violence and, according to two US officials, will not be included, unless it is necessary.

The rules of violence that the staff examine are excited as far as possible to de -escalate the situation as far as possible.
“The arrival of the state armed forces in Los Angeles – without clear coordination – presents a significant logistical and operational challenge for those who have been accused of protecting this city,” said Jim Mcdonnell, head of the Los Angeles police authority.
“In addition to our mutual auxiliary partners, the police department of Los Angeles has decades of experience in the administration of great public demonstrations, and we are still confident that we can do this professionally and effectively,” he continued. “This means that our top priority is the security of the public and the officials on site. We ask for open and continuous communication lines between all agencies to prevent confusion, avoid escalation and to ensure a coordinated, rightful and proper reaction during this critical period.”
Retired Air Force Brig. General Thomas Edmonds, former vice -geme of the Michigan Air National Guard, told ABC News: [National] Guard Officer, I would immediately request clarification to the sake of my people’s will. I would say what, when do we turn fatal violence? “
Edmonds said it seems that the military “defines the mission as a non-in-laws element implementation”.
“But they use them with the law enforcement officer as their” protection “. And I don’t see the distinction there when I protect a federal official [or] Federal building, [and if] I am busy enforcing the law. “
The Marines and Wächter troops who are sent to Los Angeles are cited by the army Major General, General Scott Sherman, the deputy commander of the US Army North.
There are a total of 4,800 soldiers under title 10 Status: 4100 of them National Guard Soldiers and 700 Marines in active service.
Title 10 of the US code contains a provision that enables the President to request members of the federal government to the service, “a rebellion or danger of the rebellion against the authority of the United States” or if “the president is unable to carry out regular forces”.
According to the US Northern Command, the use of the 700 Marines should “ensure a reasonable number of forces for the continuous coverage of the area”.
The force used is known as “Task Force 51”, and civil servants insist that the troops were trained in de -escalation, mass control and constant rules for the use of violence.
