With ammo for their guns?
With Gov. Larry Hogan in office now, do not be surprised that those guns are “loaded.”
Or even be issued weapons?
Given how things are, I would half expect them to be ordered to hand out water and bag lunches to the ferals given the PC whacked society we live in.
I would go with armed ground troops with whatever armor and APC available with choppers and drones overhead armed as best practical.
“With ammo for their guns?”
How about armed with job applications for McDonalds? That will make the rioters shriek in horror and run away.
