What a crock of BS. No one was shot, no one was killed a baby died of complications (tear gas) later in a hospital.
Yes. I learned about that in “Unintended Consequences”.
Shameful, murderous, and despicable. Sickens me.
Then you learned junk history. That link in a total fabrication. You have to be a complete nut job to fall for it.
When local cops are given military gear and training, then they effectively become military troops.
When local cops' funding is dependent upon federal grants, and those grants are conditional upon local cops obeying federal orders, then they are federal troops in all but name.
The Sheriffs office thought, why don't we hold a photo op of our SWAT capabilities. So, they all gathered together, dressed up in their lil black/olive get-ups, donning all their military toy’z and stuff. Bearcat Armored vehicle in the background.
So, what better way to get the money shot than to fly their newly acquired surveillance drone overhead and capture the inglorious moment.
HOUSTON...we have a problem!!! The operator lost contact with the drone. It began buzzin around out of control, causing Swat dudes to run for cover...and finally crashed into the side of the Bearcat SWAT van.
I thought....wow! It's good day.

Don’t most educated people know that; do you think MacArthur, Patton and Eisenhower world be silent and unpatriotic today because they obeyed an order to disperse the Vets in 1932? Don’t let that awful event override the point that we are in a very bad situation now with communist running the government and in need of much stronger anti-communist leaders and actions. I could have said Washington and you could have brought up the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791; or Andrew Jackson and you’d said what about the Trail of Tears in 1831; or Thomas Jefferson and you’d bring up Sally. Don’t you know how MacArthur and Patton felt about communism.
Oops!
Sad thing is, probably half of the people on this “freedom” loving site are cool with living in a police state. That is as long as the cat in the white house has the right letter next to his name. Hell, revise that...most of them will bow, stoop and genuflect to anything wearing a shiney badge and a fine hat, regardless of who is in the white house.
I don’t mind once believing something that’s not true...that’s the way of learning, doesn’t make me a nutjob.
Be nice if instead of calling names you could show how that’s a fabrication...
I’d love for that not to be true actually.
