Metro officers deal with large crowds all the time, but nothing like this. The crowd included former military men and ex-cops, people with various motives, their fingers poised just above the triggers of powerful weapons. With so much firepower in so many hands, a small incident could have set off a bloodbath and left nearly two dozen officers dead.
Assist. Sheriff Joe Lombardo:"We were outgunned, outmanned and there would not have been a good result from it."
I-Team reporter George Knapp: "A lot of scenarios could have played out that would have left a lot of dead officers."
Assist. Sheriff Joe Lombardo: "If you just have a backfire, somebody pops a firecracker, then it's over. We're done. We are going to lose that battle that day."

And a lot of dead peasants, as well.
And you believe you would just have lost that day? A blood bath is coming. Make your choice which side you will be on.
But, the citizens who “outgunned” you, held their fire.
They don't count dead peasants. As long as the officer gets to go home safe, he should blast away.
A lesson that needs to be repeated during the next over-reaching incident and everyone after that.
Heard from a guy who’s neighbor works for the ATF that one of the driving decisions for the BLM to back down is they there were several Navy Seals that recently left the service showed up amongst the crowd.
It would be a different twist/perspective, right?
And don't you forget it.
Hmmm.....
Hence the true reason behind the movement of “gun control”. It’s about the “control”, and only indirectly about the gun.
No kidding?
Perhaps it should be a lesson to you goose stepping bozos in government to keep your paddy fingers off?
No?
Too easy?
See you at the next government thuggery boys..
“But, the citizens who “outgunned” you, held their fire.”
The problem with multi-party confrontations is both sides have wild-eyed paranoid nuts. I blame the government on this. I’d like to see all governmental paramilitary curbed. There is no need for them. If force is needed we have sheriffs and national guards. I recently read there are 170,000 certified federal SWAT agents. They have armored vehicles. Take a look at Venezuela to see how those vehicles will be used.
Typical cops.
No dogs to shoot, so they shoot cows instead.
My comment #12 - Prophetic? No, just common sense.

Worse part is they think they’re in a war. What war? Even worse, they think they’re soldiers. Condescending poseur fops.
We’re willing to die for our country. We won’t let the liberals destroy the constitution and take our freedoms. I hope the tree of liberty doesn’t need watering with the blood of patriots, but I believe there are millions like those that showed up that day. Wait until several million walk on DC. I see that happening and am ready to go (I won’t take my guns snicker snicker and with that many we won’t need them).
There will be lots of new toys for us to play with!
