Correct. That's why New Orleans suddenly had an influx of California Highway Patrol officers (and others) running around to do the dirty work. They're not local (and therefore are unsympathetic) and are more predisposed to a confiscatory mindset.
Soviets did this too, used faraway troops from one side of the empire to do the dirty work of the other.
Think about the UN - will Pakistani troops really have any empathy for US citizens?
