“Name one military action against a citizens in the last 50 years.
...and, whether you can name one or not, we should watch them carefully. We should watch judges, legislators, councilmen, teachers...all of ‘em.
Are you saying we shouldn’t?”
Other than the Kent State Massacre in the 60’s I can’t think of any offhand. Should we watch them? Of course we should. Should we view and treat them as some sort of inherently malevolent thugs, with no value to us? No.
Exactly. However, if you had been able to name more than one example over the past 50 years, we might view them differently.
On the other hand, I can name 10 questionable actions by law enforcement against citizen in the last 6 months.
Kent State was not a military action as it was carried out by a state National Guard unit under the provisional orders of Ohio Governor James Rhodes. This was a police action carried out by a unit acting with police powers. Absent a nationalization of those guard units by the President with orders for them to organize under the chain of command of the national military they could not perform a military action.
Branch Dividians?
Nobody ever heard of WACO??
