What? Did they ever hear of the state police? (AL Department of Public Safety). I was a police officer in AL in the 1980s, in our 10 Codes a "Double 0" office down, would literally bring police (city, country, state) from over 50 miles away. They absolutely didn't need US troops. No federal troops should ever be used on US soil unless a Federal Emergency is declared. If one was declared, then fine. If people think it doesn't matter, they were just being helpful, then let's just agree with the liberals and disagree with the US Constitution.
