A National Guardsman Sent To LA Protests Is Under Investigation For Ties To Proud Boys July 2, 2020, Christopher Mathias, Huffington Post

Facebook Sgt. Brian Jackson of the California National Guard posted this Facebook photo on June 2 while deployed to police Black Lives Matter protests in Los Angeles. It shows him standing in front of a military vehicle inscribed with a slogan for the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group.

Some of Jackson's Facebook friends wrote "POYB" and "Uhuru" — a common Proud Boys chant — in the comments below his photo.

The message inscribed on the vehicle, "POYB 2020," is an acronym for "Proud Of Your Boy," a Proud Boys slogan derived from a song in Disney's "Aladdin."
