Some feel the National Guard exists to protect the citizenry and their right to protest. Not to shoot at them for doing so. Also note that the guard was in retreat when they turned and fired.
FWIW, my oldest Brother has a close friend who was a Kent Police officer present for that mess. After it was over, he turned in his badge, saying he couldn't work for any organization that took killing it's own citizens so lightly. He said he'd overheard other cops and Guardsmen bragging and joking about the events, well within earshot of their superiors. Using phrases like "turkeyshoot" and "...shooting fish in a barrel."
