Important question, are the police & army genuinely loyal to president or would they let him down at the first opportunity? #Egypt #Morsi

Good question. Somebody loyal to President Mohamed Morsi is reportedly shooting tear gas at protesters from the Presidential Palace.

On the other hand, according to unconfirmed reports from numerous Twitter users, some Egyptian riot police sympathize with the protesters.

This Tweeter says some Egyptian police took off their uniforms, left them in a heap on the ground, and joined forces with the anti-Morsi protesters:

I hope so. The MB purged a lot of generals and also high ranking police officers (others were shot dead by “unknown assailants”). But there has long been suspicion that even some of the lower ranking officers don’t want to have to spend the rest of their lives enforcing sharia.

What comes around goes around in Egypt, but none have guts to do so in the land of the free and the home of the brave. :-)

It’s a preview.

Not happy to say it, but still, might as well face reality.

You make a good observation. What used to be the land of the free is now the Land of the freeloaders.

And brave? Not so much.
