The National Guard has been guarding your butt since 1635. They are soldiers and airmen and have special status that the regulars don’t have. Posse Comitatus doesn’t apply to the NG on state duty. Regulars are not allowed police powers in the CONUS. The Guard is not restricted by that Civil War Reconstruction era law when activated by their governors. My understanding is that the Guard are acting under state orders and are not federalized for this mission. Yet.

Never slurred the Guard...spent 24 years in uniform and another 15 working with those in uniform...pointed out they were NG and that it would not make sense to become suicidal because of another’s comment...the other and I misunderstood each other as bad as you obviously misunderstood me.
