The military opening fire in us citizens on us land is treasonous, and a complete violation of their oath
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The Posse Comitatus Act, however, does not prevent state National Guard units from assisting law enforcement within their home state or an adjacent state when requested by the state’s governor, or when placed under federal control through the presidential invocation of the Insurrection Act of 1807.

10 US Code § 802 Art. 2 (3)(A)(ii) members of the Army National Guard of the United States or the Air National Guard of the United States, but only when in Federal service.
It is military down there, already.

I think so too.
