I recently read there are 170,000 certified federal SWAT agents. They have armored vehicles.

We can't really do anything about the proliferation of those vehicle to local communities.

We can do something about our reactions and attitudes.

I recommend beginning to think of those vehicles as resources for our side.

Do not ever think that MRAPS are invincible. They have known weak points. And a certain type of cocktail doesn’t discriminate by vehicle type.

EXACTLY! The people that would man those vehicles to impose government tyranny don't live behind barbwire and machine guns. They live in our communities. The go out and pick up their papers in their robes. They shop where we shop. They drop their kids off at the same schools we do. They'd best remember that before they make things go sideways. Patriots should remember it after things go sideways.

Back in 1970, there were lots of warnings about the Feds wanting a Federal Police Force. It appears it has happened without the public finding out about it.

Yep. For every can, there is a can opener.
