Federal troops are always a last resort when it comes to policing matters for a couple reasons: A. Troops' ultimate mission is to protect U.S. citizens from foreign threats. B. Government fears that troop activity in domestic territory may spark hostilities and resentment for the military. This hurts the image of, and respect for, military personel. C. That's what we have police for.
