> I was driving home from work yesterday and noticed a sign on the side of the road that said, “Police Training ahead”. There were 2 of those armored vehicles painted flat black and lots of guys with military style weapons and uniforms conducting some kind of training in the parking lot of what used to be a bank. I understand that the police need to train but this was in a relatively conspicuous area near a busy intersection. Why do it there at 3:00 in the afternoon during rush hour? Has anyone else ever seen a sign that reads, “Police Training ahead”. I haven’t; and I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. This is an odd thing to see especially in Vancouver (Orchards) Washington.

You probably already know the answer. It was probably a show of force to the public to create fear and a loss of hope in rising up against the might of the “state”. 0 loves to use psychological manipulation; its one of his allmarks (other than lying and deception). It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he had issued a memo to police agencies across the nation to do this and supplied them with military grade firepower to showoff to the public create fear particularly in conservative regions.

I keep remembering a comment that resonated with me.

"These militarized police appear intimidating, but are not prepared to operate on an even force basis."
