Our military is not separate from the population. They live among us. They have civilian friends. If it does come to an armed revolution much of the military would join in, others would refuse to fight and stay neutral. I think few would attack the civilian population. (My emphasis)

Who do you think is on these SWAT teams? That is why they where masks. They hate citizens, and they love to see people cower at their feet. They are the neighbors who never talk to you.

We lost more Americans to police violence last year than we did to the Taliban or Al Qaeda.

SWAT teams are a different case. Too many police live in the “us and them” world.
