On the 25th "anniversary" of the government siege of the Branch Davidian property outside of Waco, TX, Mance talks to the producer and narrator of the 1997 documentary, "Waco - The Rules of Engagement.," Dan Gifford. In this expose, Dan was the first to reveal the lies, and outright crimes, State agents committed against a group of people that turned out to be innocent of any misconduct under the law.
He wakes up thinking it’s maybe a home invasion and immediately lights them up and their vests offer little protection
They come stumbling out dazed and wounded....one profusely...in the smoke and haze....cameraman right behind what shoulda been shock and awe easy
He gives up to spare his family from the indiscriminate spray in return
Cops all survive but the one will likely never be the same
And they learn that overwhelmingly force and nice toys ain’t always enough even against one old seasoned prepared guy
Cops are too effing militarized...I think they dig playing MACSOG wannabe
Brain over brawn
I think this was Arkansas...anyhow it stuck with me
Remember now that lots of cops are ex military.
Two things:
If CW2 does happen the antiSecond Amendment forces will have a huge advantage.
There will be no geographic delineation as in N v S, but rather neighbor v neighbor.
May become necessary but won’t be pretty.

Better to take a government job then work within than to try any resistence at this point, it’s too far gone

Ironic on the day the FBI shows up at Roger Stones house with 20 plus agents armed with full automatic military weapons, body armor and armored vehicles for a non violent person that is to be charged with a process crime.
The American people must take action against the now out of control police state actions of federal law enforcement. When is Hillary Clinton going to be raided? When is James Comey going to raided? When is James Clapper going to be raided?
Folks when we have a two tier justice system combined with soviet style police state thuggery ultimately it can’t end anywhere but brutal conflict between the people and government.
The people must use their authority over our government to end the militarization of our law enforcement entities. We must outlaw the use of military weapons, military equipment and military training for any and all civilian police. Including all federal agents. What in the world are non military federal agents doing with thousands of machine guns? Why do they have night vision equipment and other gear specifically designed for war and for use only by our military? Our neighborhoods are not battlefields. This has to end. Only two groups should be allowed military weapons under our constitution and that is our military and civilians. Civilian possession of military weapons is guaranteed by the 2nd amendment and congress is allowed to maintain and support our national military. Militarization of civilian police on the other hand clearly violates our founders intent to protect against the dangers of a standing army.
What we saw today on CNN carried out by the FBI was in fact a military operation directed at a united states citizen. Far more innocent people are being killed by para military SWAT operations than are ever being saved. These SWAT teams are a menace and represent a clear and present danger to individual liberty and freedom. Any perceived benefit to these militarized SWAT forces are far outweighed by the loss of innocent life and the overall threat to liberty. They must be outlawed.
Remember a few years ago when federal agencies from the IRS to the postal service were amassing ammunition by the billions?
Yeah.. so do I.
Remember when, based on a tip, the FBI did that predawn SWAT raid on that Cruz kid and prevented the Parkland School massacre? Oh right, that didn’t happen. The FBI did nothing with that info and dozens died.
Thanks FBI!
They must be outlawed.
I have been preaching that doctrine for over twenty years right here.
My general perception is conditions are worse than ever. It’s us against them mentality, and one can certainly understand the feelings of those of color vis-a-vis the perceived police state, much less the notable whites who seem to garner their share of no knock raids that result in real disaster. Fortunately in the case of the latest raid, they did knock if I have the story straight.
EVERY LEO should read this!
Department of Education too.
Quote from the Constitution? Oh, sorry, that document has been neutralized.

Here’s another incident of a police raid gone awry:
South Carolina police shooting: 2nd officer dies after Florence ambush

Authorities say Turner was among seven law enforcement officers shot by 74-year-old Frederick Hopkins. They say the decorated Vietnam War (veteran) opened fire without warning when officers arrived at his home Oct. 5 to speak with his son about a sex assault investigation.

Yes it sounds like they did but with CNN there its very clear this was done for intimidation. This man was no danger to anyone yet the FBI used a military raid. Their excuse is he could have destroyed evidence. So again where were the raids when hillary and her staff were smashing cell phones and using software to destroy digital evidence? Where has there been even one raid on any of the dozens of known democrats that have lied and destroyed evidence? Not that democrat raids would justify SWAT teams but it proves these military raids are being done selectively for oppression and intimidation. It’s the very definition of a police state.
