to assist local law enforcement and the Washington State Patrol as needed to quell any election-related unrest.
The same chumps that let armed thugs roll up on him on January 6th, 2021?
Inslee really needs to get a hold of his fucking Sherrifs. Half of these “constitutional sherrif” fuckers who think it’s up to them to interpret the constitution are in fucking Washington state. I think the movement started in Washington.
Washington cops are out of fucking control. I don’t trust them to be neutral arbiters of the law
Honest question(s):
Does the National Guard for a particular state answer to the governor as their “Commander in Chief”? What about State Police, County Sherrifs, local police?
If the former is “yes,” and the latter is “no,” that would suggest that National Guard being mobilized is a better protection against the actions of fascist police than not.
This is Washington State, not Washington, D.C.
D.C. doesn’t have a governor, it has a mayor.
To be clear, I’m aware, Inslee is my governor. That’s why I’m sick of the cop situation here.

On January 6th, we had armed fools rolling up on Inslee.
But the shitty cops issue goes waaaaaaay back.
I remember when a police union ran a police chief out of town because he had the audacity to suggest drug testing his cops after a few were caught doing drugs in their police cruisers.
Fair enough then. The January 6th part made me think you were talking about D.C.
