The 150-year-old law that governs military’s role in local law enforcement

That applies to federal military forces. The National Guard prior to 1903 was called the "Organized Militia." It is state controlled--unless federalized under certain circumstances--and can be used for a variety of purposes that the federal forces can't be used for, including law enforcement.
She said the same thing, but just better researched:
National Guard members are under state authority and commanded by governors, so they’re generally exempt. However, the Posse Comitatus Act applies to National Guard forces when they’re “federalized,” meaning the president puts them under his control. That’s what Trump did in California over the governor’s objections.

Clearly Safiyah Riddle, the author of the piece knows shit about the US military and is talking smack after maybe 5 minutes of research.
You could have spent 3 minutes of reading the article and realized you were wrong.

She also obviously doesn't know the US Coast Guard is a quasi-military service that is run, in peacetime, by the Treasury Department, not the DoD.
The Coast Guard is no longer in Treasury, but rather in Homeland. Funny how you missed that. It has not been in Treasury since 1967. It was in Transportation from 1967 to 2003.
 
Here's a brain fuck for you from the article

"The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to deploy troops during invasions, rebellions or when local authorities can’t maintain order."

The police DC police were hardly keeping order.
What invasion? They keep order just fine. It's the US policy that fails.

Drug dealers and gangs exist in Red states and cities.
