So now they will take DC police away from their jobs protecting District residents, so they can protect the National Guard, who are being used as props?

Wait until the administration learns about all the mass shootings committed by White, Christian men.
The Trump administration said Wednesday that it had stopped processing immigration applications from Afghanistan, hours after officials in Washington detained an Afghan man they said had shot two National Guard troops near the White House.

Here's what to know.

I hope the two National Guardsmen are OK.
Using the National Guard as props is dangerous and unethical.

These 3 things can all be true.
