I still don't understand this line.

Why is body count the only measure of whether a group is dangerous?

If a group is attacking law enforcement, even with non-deadly force, they need to be dealt with. If they are doing it for political reasons, it's domestic terrorism.

If Portland were handling this properly and Trump just wanted to nose his way in so he can distract from Epstein, then I'd agree federal troops should stay out. But that's not what is happening. Portland has long told police to stand down from Antifa, and local judges give them slaps on the wrist when they do get arrested.

Here is my rule of thumb regarding federal law enforcement involvement in local matters:

- Does it cross state lines, or interfere with federal authorities, territory, or property? If yes, then the feds have every right to get involved. If no, the feds should stay out.
The real line is this Druff. The Portland PD have repeatedly refused to protect federal buildings in city. As they are considered federal property then Trump has ever right to order the National Guard to help secure these buildings and deal with criminal activity directed towards any federal property.
