A major criticism of President Trump activating National Guard troops to support his anti-crime actions is that they aren't trained as police. Fair enough.
The National Guard must include units that are trained and equipped as military police (MPs or SPs). Why doesn't he activate those for law enforcement support?
MP equipment includes restraints (cuffs or ties), night sticks, and non-lethal weaponry (stunners, mace). They train to deal with unruly, even violent individuals in uniform, training equally relevant to civilian miscreants.
I haven't seen this question raised elsewhere.
