The National Guard has drastically increased its response to unrest sweeping America over what prosecutors say was the murder of a handcuffed black

man by Minneapolis police. There are now more than 17,000 National Guard troops in 23 states and the District of Columbia have been activated to help

quell the unrest.

Thatโ€™s more than a three-fold increase in just over a day.

โ€œThe hardest mission we do is responding in times of civil unrest,โ€ Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, chief of the National Guard Bureau, said in a statement

posted on the NGB homepage ."The activation of Guard members in response to civil unrest has unfolded in multiple cities in the wake of the death of

George Floyd in Minneapolis."
