Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused President Trump of being part of the problem Thursday as violence, unrest and racial tension remain prevalent across the country. "When they occurred, we didn't have to call in the National Guard." Jay Nixon did indeed call in the National Guard. The Maryland National Guard was called up, the first time for a civil disturbance in the state since 1968. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency and called in the National Guard after Charlotte's police chief said he needed the help.
