The National Guard is trained to help domestically in a variety of capacities, says Professor Emeritus William Banks. "That said, they are members of the military, not law enforcement, so they are largely trained to supplement military jobs," he says. Banks was interviewed for the PBS NewsHour article "'Optics matter.' National Guard deployments amid unrest have a long and controversial history." 06/10/20
