Why hasn't this been talked about more in the media?

About a week ago, a small town in Alabama witnessed a string of 11 homicides. U.S. Army troops, not the National Guard mind you, but U.S. ARMY TROOPS, were called in to aide the police. The Govenor was called about why ground troops were there in the first place. Govenor said he didn’t know anything about this. So who called them in? According to the U.S. Constitution this is illegal. Back in 1868, I think it was, President Hayes signed a new law that prevents the U.S. military from aiding civil law enforcement. So if the Govenor didn’t call them in then maybe it was President Obama? I’m just guessing. Its a very interesting topic, just wanted to get anyone elses opinion on this event. Kind of strikes me weird that no one in the media has brought this to our attention. Let me know what you guys think.
