Drawing the ire of the federal government. If their commander refuses, he'll be removed and replaced with someone who will comply.
That commander is appointed by the CA governor, and I don't see Newsom fighting the feds on this (or much of anything, really, so far it's only been joint lawsuits against economic issues). Conceivably, Trump could argue that when federalized, he could remove the commander himself and appoint an interim commander, or just leave it unfilled and have DoD control them directly.
Their feelings. Soldiers are humans, not machines. They will go with their hearts and minds to decide whom they fight for.
Hopefully, they will decide to side with the good guys, not Agent 'Krasnov' Orange.
You are a naive liberal
The national guard is under federal control. California will have its own state guard.
They swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. They have a duty to ignore, report, or even actively resist an unconstitutional command.

Yep, really chickened out of deploying Gestapo.
Realistically, the rioters are going to eventually be condemned by the peaceful protestors, and the general population will soon follow, thus giving support for law enforcement to squash them and end the fiasco. This has been the case for a loooooong time.
Normally I might agree but this is LA. They've been through this shit before.
the rioters … peaceful protestors
Then the peaceful protestors don’t really care about advancing the cause they’re protesting for.

Ah yes, I'm sure those peaceful protesters during the civil rights movement didn't care about the cause they were protesting for.
