The guard is a MILITARY force.
It seems like some people think that they're just cops with pepper spray, rubber bullets/bean bags and tricked out uniforms.
When a military force shows up in your neighborhood and tells you to "go inside your homes" you either do it, or face the consequences. Most of the time, you're lucky you even have a choice between those 2 things. In any event, there is no 3rd option.
I know you didn't attend an accredited law school, but there is a difference between a "curfew" and "martial law".
The curfew order, signed by the governor, restricted access to public places after sundown. It did not say you had to stay indoors on your own property. In fact, you could even have a firepit going in your back yard if you so desired.
The National Guard exceeded their mandate, and took issue with people sitting on their front porch. The National Guard fucked up.
Naturally, of course, you side with the National Guard because you're a good "authoritarian follower".''
