maybe not the military, but the local police would.....look at the increasing amount of violence and retribution the cops have had on people.....they shoot first, then explain....they’ve threatened people who’ve video’d them...
I think what you are referring to is a minority. And in spite of the training the cops get, which equips them far better for civil disorder than you or I are, they are not trained and equipped as active duty military are. There are enough AR 15s around here to keep the local police in total lock down if the populace felt that threatened.
Some of what you mention is more in the order bullying, the victims are essentially defenseless.. The whole equation changes when the victims no longer feel hindered by rules and law. When survival becomes the driving force, these potential victims (armed) are going to look a lot less appetizing to bullying police, which again I think are in the minority in most cases. Corrupt law enforcement administrators that foster and enable that type of behavior on the part of police will have a very different attitude when they know someone could be 250 yards away with an AR 15 aimed at them on their way to the office. What should be kept in mind in these discussions is that intimidation is a two way street.
A lot of good law abiding people in this country have turned the other cheek because they are good people. This has fed the bullying and intimidation by the loony left. *If* they should be finally aroused to the point that they say "enough", a lot of these people on the left are going to quickly crawl back in their holes. Betrayal, not confrontation will become their modus operandi.
