Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
Nixon didn’t order the Kent State deployment. It was Ohio’s state governor, Jim Rhodes.

That’s true enough, I should have said supported and perhaps instigated (by insulting the students beforehand) rather than ordered.

Which makes this situation all the more remarkable, since Trump called in the national guard without Newsom’s approval.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to call the national guard to stop riots. It also allows the military to be sent in.
LA has had the marines sent in to stop riots in the past so this isn't exactly a new thing.
