There appears to be the conflating of two separate points to arrive at an unsubstantiated conclusion.

They include the ‘real possibility’ of calling on military assistance

As I quoted previously, in less inflammatory versions of this story, the military would be called upon for transport and supply duties - no one (to the best of my knowledge) has shown any evidence that military personnel would be involved in riot control.
It’s an old tabloid trick - put two separate things close together, and hope readers will be fooled into thinking they are linked, thus stoking outrage/upset/whatever...
