"National Guardsman and women are trained to kill people on a battle field. That is what they are trained to do. They are not police. They don't know how to do crowd control," Gov. JB Pritzker said.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Hmm, will JB be whistling this same tune during the convention?
The National Guard is most certainly trained in crowd control. It is also trained to provide services during National Disasters, and secure said areas from LOOTERS. And yes, they are trained in battle field tactics and the Rules of Engagement. Every time Governor Flintstone opens his mouth, he lowers the IQ of the entire state. And please don’t let me start on BJ the Clown
National Guard should be saved for the next round of Democrat funded BLM rioting, looting, arson
The National Guard is used to assist local agencies in emergencies, disasters etc. There is an emergency in Chicago, there is already a disaster. Pritzger and his fellow democrats are too stupid to see what’s going on and if they do they don’t care.
National Guard are suppose to be trained in how to control crowds. Of course Pritzer is a lying idiot. Real agenda is to allow people to loot since those looters comprise one of their voting base.
Wildings make the silliest choices – just ask BJ.
