They busted some police who were also in the N'l Guard.
The Oath Keepers have a lot of members in law enforcement,
I would expect some are also Nat. Guard.

I remember Pres. Anwar el-Sadat's assassination ... not posting video because I bet most remember it too. He sat in a review stand surrounded by security and was shot by his own troops in broad daylight. ... MLK< JFK< RLK<
