Great, the Marines in LA will have normal service weapons but won't carry tear gas.

From KTLA under “Rules of Engagement” section
https://ktla.com/news/local-news/la-protests-live-updates-monday/

In “Marine Deployment” section:
“The Marines are being deployed to protect federal property and personnel, including federal immigration agents, U.S. Northern Command announced Monday.

Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act to allow them to do law enforcement. It has not been clear if he intends to do so.”
