It appears the state of Georgia, or someone with access to uniforms and guns, has deployed child soldiers to confront protestors in Atlanta.

This is child abuse.

This looks like National Guard gear to me. The smallest kid is carrying an M16A2, which isn’t used in the regular military anymore, for instance.

National Guard discipline tends not to be the best so my guess is someone in a NatGuard unit dressed those kids up like that. The unit designation (name) would be printed on the back of that truck behind them if anyone filmed that.

None of the weapons have magazines and thus are not loaded (could still be a round in the chamber).
