I think you are mixing this up with the function of the executive goverment in a state with alleged separation of powers (one of the fundamentals of democracy).
A president himself sending out forces is in fact not normal.
citizens are the government though. if they are not, its not democratic country.
Still, there should be no need to even threaten citizens with violence and if there is, it should be resolved mutually instead of just oppressing the people into submission.
Is this some kind of quote? Because 90% of what all governments do is exactly that: using weapons against their own citizens.
Yeah. In Germany it’s called the “violence monopoly”.
thats like literally what the executive does

Especially when both that city’s mayor and state governor explicitly do not want those troops there.

Did you mean that people in government are citizens? Because I’m a citizen of my country and not in the government.
Correct. The United States is not a democracy. It’s barely even a “representative democracy”.
