Yeah, I noticed that too. I am torn on the issue, really.
Americans, black or white or whatever, have something in them(the majority, anyways) where we are just suspect of governmental force. Sure, many of our police departments have "militarized" in some ways, but actually sending in troops could rub people the wrong way.
I don't live in a poor and dangerous neighborhood, so my opinion doesn't count as much I don't think. However, as someone who values safety over most things(and conceal carries), I would personally welcome any help to protect my neighborhood if things went down hill.
