zeugma, there’s no need to reply.
Perhaps you’ve seen this before. I am debating if I should delete the last sentence.
IMO, it should be common knowledge where your city, state and federal officials, the county bureaucrats and local and federal police officers live, every single one of them!
It is not difficult to make someone live in fear for their lives as many of you already know. Making our elected officials acutely aware of that feeling is not a popular idea amongst the posters on this thread but having that taste in your mouth is not one quickly forgotten. Don’t go after them in their protected offices when their families are as vulnerable as our are.
If our LEO’s or military troops under the orders of our elected local, county, state or federal officials ever administer violent treatment to US citizens then it should be returned in equal force to their superiors families.
I promise you that a single bullet through the kitchen window of the Mayors house will make for an excited dinner conversation with his wife. The Mayor will then understand exactly what he did when he ordered violence against his townspeople.
The Chief of Police’s wife isn’t immune from explaining to her husband what a wonderful job he’s doing if her home receives a copper jacketed message through her front door or bedroom wall.
There is no need to go after the street level officers, their bosses are the ones who issue the orders and they should be the ones to receive the 2200+ foot per second message.
While I can see your point, I have to respectfully disagree. "I was just following orders" hasn't been an acceptable excuse since Nuremberg. If the JBTs have to worry about not making it home, perhaps they'll start questioning their orders, rather than making excuses for them.
