I think it was an appropriate activation of the National Guard, SFC Ricardo Ruiz. I've heard all sorts of criticism of the whole operation (law enforcement, politicians, National Guard), but I think they're probably doing their best. I especially like the idea that the National Guard was used to secure HQ areas and not out on the front lines, engaging with the demonstrators. I think that was the right decision, but - of course - people criticized that aspect of it as well.
