Hollow points no less. Interesting choice for “target practice.”

No way to stop this communists empire that I know of except civil war, which will be damn hard and costly.

Not to defend government actions, most police departments practice with the ammo they will be using on the job.

The “National Civilian Defense Corps” is ramping up, bypassing the established military structure altogether.
The Tonton Macoutes were a Haitian paramilitary force created in 1959 and reporting directly to François ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier until his death in 1971. ‘Papa Doc’ came to power in 1957, as a democratically elected leader on a populist platform. He had previously served as Minister of Health. After an attempted coup against him in 1958, Duvalier rewrote the Haitian constitution, making himself a ‘President for Life’. Believing the Army was planning to overthrow him (as they had previous leaders), he disbanded all law enforcement agencies in Haiti, including the army. He executed all high-ranking Generals. To keep law enforcement completely loyal to his own ruling family, he created the Tonton Macoutes, who were granted automatic amnesty through his powers for any crime they committed.
The “National Civilian Defense Corps” is just The Won’s version of the Tonton Macoutes.

Yea, they don’t want to have to rely on lies to get armored vehicles like they did at Waco.

These rigs get terrible fuel economy and tire life due to the weight of the armoring.
Just perfect for your local DHS cruise to McDonalds for lunch.

DHS, the manpower of the USMC and twice the budget. And aimed right at the American people.

The one difference is in the quality of the people.
Kind of like the inverse of the Marines from ones I’ve seen at airports.

There are two types of SRT guys in this world. The first type are the ones that know what they are doing. The second type are the ones that call themselves “operators.” Unfortunately, there are too many of the second type.
