We worked with local municipalities around Kenosha to get them on board. And they came very well. And at 2:00 clock in the morning, people need to know this. Our National Guard is only allowed to move if we are requested. And Kenosha asked us at 2 o'clock in the morning. That same day, after 2 o' clock in the morning, we had people on, we had National Guard there, and we doubled it every single day. (45:56–46:06)
