Election year stunt, perhaps? Seems like rather poor timing to me (Daniel Penny case looming, recent migrant murder in GA), but maybe they're anticipating a very exciting spring and summer.
Of course it's a stunt. The National Guard doesn't do shit. They actually just stand around obvious static areas where the cops aren't needed, so the police can actually go to places where crime is actually bad.
This means that the police are probably just going to harass normal people rather than criminals and illegals in order to make normies feel like something serious is happening, while not doing anything to touch these politicians favorite criminals.
The national guard being posted up is just a scare tactic, they really have no authority to do anything. A friend of mines husband was NG and basically anytime they did stuff like this (airports, subways, sports stadiums) they were told to call the cops if something happened. They weren't even allowed to keep their guns loaded.
Also it is doubly stupid to think checking bags is going to stop criminals. Criminals don't carry weapons in bags, they're in their pockets or wristbands.
Reserve soldiers are not cops. They don't have any special police powers beyond that of a regular citizen.
I bet a shiny dollar that they won't issue them ammunition because the politicians are terrified that the National Guard might shoot people who need shooting.

I remember the National Guard being crying pussies during the Floyd riots.
"The big bad Orange Man made me point a gun at my fellow Americans! Abloo hoo hoo!"
HE GASSED AMERICAN CITIZENS FOR A PHOTO OP
Oh my god I hate that fucking line.
It's more retarded than "Don't say gay".
I don't remember that. I remember the SecDef doing that, but that's because he wanted a coup.
I thought the NY police getting beat up on a livestream was their only job. TIL.
Their job's to attack the public. Criminals, especially brown ones, are v their gods

So what you're saying is National Guardsmen are loot drops for dindus?
Yeah, it's not going to do anything, the police have to do the heavy lifting.

That's what makes them so dangerous.
