That figure is DEFINITELY low; by my sources, there was a running gunfight between police and the rioters when the Unified Command Post was overrun.

I got reports of up to 75 armed rioters engaging police. Once the NG finally got deployed, I lost the report stream; no telling if the Guard joined the fight.

This tells me that the Guard was there to protect state assets and not engage the mob. Police had two tactical units at their disposal, and they thought they were badass enough to handle the situation...
