Omar says some protestors 'felt terrorized by the presence of tanks,' National Guard
The Hill ^ | May 31, 2020 | Justine Coleman

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Sunday that while some Minneapolis residents felt safer with National Guard troops on city streets after demonstrations over the police-involved death of George Floyd turned violent, others “felt terrorized by the presence of tanks” while protesting.
.
.
.
The congresswoman also called for “nationwide reforms” beyond “just getting justice for George Floyd” by charging the other former Minneapolis police officers “who stood by idly” while former officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck.

SEBASTIAN: Remind me a little. What do we do at the "Ministry of Alteration?"
COP: You... change people, sir.
SEBASTIAN: In what way?

To purify democracy.

When real tanks are present and open fire with machine gun and canister (buck shot) main gun rounds, they will know real terror and those left standing will go home or at least away.

Perhaps street side beheadings would be more preferable to the Congresswoman.

Some people are terrorized by the actions of actual rioters and looters, Ilhan.

I wonder what the correlation is between these rioters and all the prisoners given early release due to Covid-19?

Applied for the Darwin Award.. hmm.. doesn’t seem very bright.

But, this is the point of 2A. But, even a gun isn’t much good against rocks and bottles thrown from cover. This is the point of Police and laws, and civilization.

Oh my....I’m glad they weren’t terrorized by Molotov cocktails, looting, brick and bottle throwing, and arson....

“Buying” them was not an issue, mostly given away as grants on long term lease*.
However, maintenance is required as part of the deal and it’s not cheap.
So some cities keep them running, some do not.
Those that fail to keep them in good condition may lose them.

*Technically the military retains ownership.
Otherwise the cities would sell the vehicles, kind of like welfare queens selling their food stamps.

“You can’t set it on fire...”

Uh, yah, you can.
That is what the Molotov Cocktails’ were originally for.
