2 Troopers appear to be carrying the FR version of the HK416F. Reports indicate the men of the ranks think highly of the rifle.

3 Heck in the US, the governor or president can call out the militia. Open season but with bag limits, unless they're caught on your own property, castle doctrine.

10 how will similar rioting here in the US affect the mid-terms?

Red state governors will quickly shut that nonsense down; red state voters will go strongly Republican in support. Blue state governors will dither and blue state judges will set them loose as quickly as they’re arrested, but a lot of votes have already been mailed in — if it matters beyond the margin of cheating — so it will mostly accelerate decisions to move to safe red states.

Or so I suspect — politics isn’t really my strong point.

11 [AI]
soldiers in DC

As of October 2026, there are approximately **4,500 to 4,600 National Guard soldiers** deployed in Washington, D.C., as part of the **Joint Task Force – District of Columbia**. This deployment was initiated in August 2025 by President Donald Trump under a declared "crime emergency" and is set to continue through at least the end of 2026.

The troops, drawn from the **D.C. National Guard** and 11 other states, are tasked with supporting local and federal law enforcement, including street patrols, monument security, and protecting federal facilities. All deployed guardsmen are now **armed with live weapons** and conduct joint patrols with the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. While the administration cites crime reduction as the justification, critics and some legal observers argue the deployment is unlawful, with a federal court ruling it illegal in November 2025 (a decision currently on appeal). The deployment has been marked by significant incidents, including the fatal shooting of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom in November 2025 and a non-fatal shooting of a Georgia Guardsman in October 2026.
