The national guard ARE a military force.... they’re not police.
Unless they are an MP detachment.
My nephew is in one of them here in NY. He’s done one tour in Afghanistan so far.

Either way I knew this was coming because they would not stop rioting. Now thing will be worse
Dead Kennedy’s “Riot”
Rioting, the unbeatable high
Adrenaline shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it’s all gonna blow right now
Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass, scream with a laugh and wallow with the crowds, watch them kicking peoples’ ass
But you get to the place where the real slave drivers live
It’s walled off by the riot squad aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around and play right into their hands
And set your own neighborhood burning to the ground instead
Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Get your kicks in quick, they’re calling the National Guard
Now could be your only chance to torch a police car
Climb the roof, kick the siren in and jump and yelp for joy
Quickly, dive back in the crowd, slip away now, don’t get caught
Let’s loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don’t fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun
Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse now
The raging mob has lost its nerve
There’s more of us but who goes first?
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they’ve won
It’s all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can riot all that they please
Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
