Wouldn't surprise me if many of these SWAT types were battle hardened vets.

Well a bunch of jumped up forest rangers with tactical gear interspersed with a few mercs were terrorizing citizens until the Constitutional militia showed up. Then it was a whole nother siteeatshun. :-)

Especially after 9-11 people CHEERED the militarization of our police. Get the terrorists. get the bad guys. Get the thugs.
Wasn’t such a good idea, was it?
To: detective
Hitler called it ‘Secret Service’
Stalin called it KGB
Obummer calls it SWAT
There really isn’t much difference folks, we’ve gotten right up with these thugs.

Try not to get too comfortable with numbers.
Read Clear and Present Danger, by Tom Clancy. The chapter is called: The Battle of Ninja Hill. It’s fiction, but it illustrates what a trained and equipped force can do to superior numbers. Attrition.

Nope. I must admit that I initially supported the creation of the DHS. I soon realized what a mistake it was. Along with learning my lesson

The vets I knew from World War 2 and Korea did not want to dressup in camo and bully unarmed citizens.

The BLM “gestapo” is only one of many branches within our gubmint with paramilitary groups. It is high time the gubmint be neutered.
