My son is a cop in the small town department here. Maybe 24 officers in whole department. They initially have been told that black lives matter intends to protest in this little town of 12k people in the mountains of Kentucky. They have also been told and agree peaceful protest is fine, but looting and riots will be put down quickly and hard.
I intend to be standing a post at my mother-in-laws business with an G3 and 1911 with my youngest son, he will have an AR-15. My Dad and brother will be standing guard at his business with an AK-47, and an M1 carbine. These businesses are 80 and 60+ years old. They have served black, white, and brown people equally without issue in that time but the owners refuse to be looted and burned out by a pack of savages. It’s going to be a long weekend.
Good luck to all of you!
The mayor of our little berg - a feckless sow - piously intoned that she would tolerate no vigilantism. Kinda tells you where her priorities are! Oh, and she made sure to board up city hall before disappearing from the scene.
Best of luck to you.
I wish you well.
