Same as New Orleans:
The cops responded and CONFISCATED GUNS, sometimes slamming totally law-abiding grandmothers, slamming them violently to the ground.
In a desperate situation the authorities will crack down on the EASIEST targets —the law abiding citizens.
Doing that underscores the image of others that they’re in control. It also helps them FEEL they’re somehow still “in control”.
The law abiding citizen is the one they[ the police] want to control. They are the ones that pays their salaries. they are the ones that, through their labors which are taxed to the braking point, keep the Government operation. they are the ones that the police will use deadly force against to control. The police care nothing about controlling the criminal and parasite element. There is no benefit to controlling them. It is the law abiding tax paying working citizen they intend to keep their boot on the neck of.
Ironic, is it not? This all began because a cop DEFENDED his person and property against a thug attacking him ... And most of America - excepting the worthless knuckle-dragging black sh*t heads in Ferguson - sided with the police ... Now, the cops stab the same citizens in the back, all for want of our own protection.
