New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered additional National Guard presence at airports around the Empire State in an effort to better ensure travelers to the state do not have COVID-19.

Gov. Cuomo announced the increase of National Guard troops Friday and urged people not to land in the state unless they have proof they have tested negative for the virus.

Travelers who do not have proof of a negative test must quarantine for 14 days while those with proof only have to isolate for three days. The move comes ahead of the holiday season as the state continues to battle the coronavirus.

Marines stole the spotlight from the National Guard in the LA Riots

In the early 1990s, the streets of LA were a dangerous place. Even the LAPD officers who regularly walked their beats admitted to losing the streets to the tens of thousands of gang members who controlled much of the city’s south side. Los Angeles was soon a powder keg of racially and socially fueled frustration that exploded on April 29, 1992. Four LAPD officers were acquitted of using excessive force against Rodney King, a black motorist who was beaten by the officers after evading them on a California freeway.

Their acquittal sparked the 1992 LA Riots, a huge civil disturbance that covered 32-square-miles, from the Hollywood Hills to Long Beach. Eventually, the governor of California would call in more than 10,000 California National Guard troops and 2,000 active troops to quell the riots. That wasn’t enough. Then-Gov. Pete Wilson, a Marine Corps veteran, knew what he needed and asked President Bush to send in the Marines.
