National Guard Deployed in Los Angeles as Protests Intensify: What Business Owners Need to Know

Fast Guard Service Ready to Support Property Owners Amid Growing Unrest

As tensions escalate in Los Angeles, the federal government has taken unprecedented steps to restore order. President Trump announced the deployment of over 2,000 National Guard troops to the city for a minimum of 60 days, calling the situation “a serious uprising” that must be contained to protect national stability.

“There are violent people in LA and we are not going to let them get away with it,” the President stated during a live briefing. In a pointed remark that’s stirred national attention, he added, “If they spit, we hit,” signaling a hardline approach to rioters and protestors alike.

🧱 Sparks Ignite: From Protest to Confrontation

According to both LAPD officials and media reporters, the mood had started to de-escalate earlier this week. However, the arrival of the National Guard and subsequent use of tear gas on demonstrators at a peaceful gathering appears to have reignited tensions.

In one controversial scene near a Home Depot, protestors were seen near pallets of cinderblocks, which some claim were left there as part of normal inventory security. Others allege their presence could incite violence. This has drawn comparisons to the early days of the George Floyd protests in 2020, as cited in Wikipedia.

🛡️ Why Private Security Still Matters—Even with Troops on the Ground

Despite the military presence, not all commercial properties will be protected. In fact, the Guard is tasked with protecting public infrastructure, not private assets.
