National Guard soldiers march down a street, a quiet residential street. The people recording are on the balcony or deck of their home - they are not out in the street or even in their yard. One of the NG shouts "Light them up!" and the soldiers stop, turn, set and fire rubber bullets or pepper balls at the people on their own balcony of their own fucking house. But it's okay with you because curfew, and since protesters are subject to the curfew too, that means no one can go sit on their own porch? No. Just. No.
