Don't get too carried away with this. Bush did the same thing for Obama. Looks like it's just to allocate federal resources/moneies to supplement local agencies, since this will be a large scale event.
For a lot of LE agencies, a 'state of emergency' has to be declared to be repaid for any OT accrued during whatever the 'emergency' is. At least that's how my agency is.
I really wouldn't read too much into this or take it as a sign of 'Happening'.
The puzzling part is the Biden team said they were doing the inauguration 'virtual' because of 'muh covid' yet there's all of the standard 'inauguration' stuff in DC like jersey walls, generators, etc. Could be, given the 'magically sudden' change in narrative, see NY Gov, about 'muh covid' they may have changed their minds about virtual?
Really only time will tell, but having a history of these being done for inaugurations in the past, and knowing how 'states of emergency' relate to federal funding for debts incurred by local government agencies during 'events/disasters', I wouldn't read too much into this, and just chalk it up as standard procedure.
Bush was on Obama’s team. That’s why this is perfect. They can’t claim he’s a “dictator” because 1) they themselves have been calling for the national guard and 2) there is clear precedent. This is huge.
I'm completely on board for their being a plan and a move in the 11th hour, but really, I think with this one, people are simply just reaching.
I could be wrong, I really could be, but to me, this just all looks standard so that the Fed Government can give money to Capitol Police, DCMP, DCFD, etc, for OT they sustain from having to work this event.
This happens literally all of the time with LE/Fire & EMS/Local Government Agencies when SOE's get declared. They have to submit some paperwork off and then get reimbursed from the FED GOV for their costs during things like this or natural disasters so that these types of things don't blow their fiscal budget away.
I'm sure other people here who work in public safety/service can attest to this.

It's a necessary move to invoke IA
