Those who abuse power are typically “effectively trained to do so”.

I’m not surprised that you are avoiding answering the question.

How many Freepers? How many of their spouses, their children? Their friends? Their neighbors? Their pets?

All of that (and more) is what is at stake.

.... So you are saying that if you were taken hostage by a well armed well organized group while making a withdrawal at a bank .... you would rather put your fate in the hands of untrained people with squirrel guns that were at a bar across the street than a well trained unit prepared and trained for hostage rescue?

..... Again .... please direct your concerns towards the abuse of power and those that seek to destroy our freedoms .... not toward the first responders .... they are trained to do their jobs and do them well.
