sport: "Don't delude ypurself into believing that the police over here [U.S.A.]will resist orders from their superiors to round us up and put us on the trains."

That's very hard to even imagine...

First, my understanding is: every government official, at any level of authority, is required by law to disobey illegal orders.
That did not stop the rounding up of Japanese-Americans during WWII, on orders from President Roosevelt, but since then many rules have been modified to prevent such mass incarcerations, absent due process of law.

Second, I'd be curious to know just who you might mean by "us", kemo sabe.
Law abiding defenders of our Free Republic?
Champions of liberty?
Veterans and descendants of our Founding generation, Uniting generation and Greatest generation?
Loyal allies and supporters of Israel, plus many others threatened around the world?

Very hard to imagine mass incarcerations of such groups, which are today considered the "backbone" of America.

Of course, open rebellion, insurrection and "domestic violence" are opposed in the US Constitution, so anyone suggesting such things might expect a tough time of it.
In that case, justice would be administered lawfully, constitutionally, and there would be no need for government to threaten families of law enforcement officials assigned the task.

The one group which might plausibly come to mind -- illegal aliens -- for lawful mass incarcerations and transportation back to their countries of origin, seem unlikely to experience anything resembling such actions, since today even our more conservative candidates are afraid to use mild terms like "self deportation" in public.

So I can't imagine it.
Doesn't mean it won't happen some day, but that would be a vastly different world than the one I've lived in and helped to defend, lawfully.

Second, I'd be curious to know just who you might mean by "us", kemo sabe.People such as myself if I am still living when that time comes. People such as others on this forum. I had implied that you would be, but, I will retract that. Conservatives,legal gun owners, freedom lovers, people who do not worship Government officials.This constitutes a partial list that the directive will go out to round up. The actions of the round upees is another question. It will be answered one way or the other at that time. Again, I apologize for implying that you were one of "us". The Aassume bug bit me hard.

I don't find it hard to imagine. The standard Nuremberg defense was “I only did what I was told.” This is human nature to trust and follow orders, sorry to say but most people are sheep and that is ok.

What scares me most is young people who don't ask why we are doing this. There are exemptions. But they have been trained to not ask questions and punished if they do. Look at how many accept homosexuality, they will do what they are told.

You and I may be a sheep dog but most are not. Bravado is nice but until our possessions, loved ones and lives are truly threatened, we DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WILL DO.
