“In general most cops should join our side. killing them would only alienate them. “

Not sure by “join our side”, but if you think that they will endanger their pensions for some ideal like the constitution you will be sadly disappointed. Just look through history and you’ll see that when push comes to shove the cops/military will go with whoever is paying the bills. It is only when those in power can no longer pay the bills that things get interesting, otherwise these guys will do anything required to keep that pay check coming, including busting your head if you’re out in the street protesting.

But like I’ve said before, killing cops is the best way I can think of getting killed yourself. It’s stupid to think that people will rally to your cause by killing those people that most still consider to be “protectors”.

People only respond when they think that there is something in it for them, otherwise they would prefer to stay on the sidelines waiting to see which side is going to win AND then jumping in to cheer that side.

Lastly, the whole idea that a militia/guerrilla action against the federal government can win is folly. Isolated pockets of resistance will be taken care of fairly quickly as their neighbors will rat them out or they’ll be starved out. The only successful guerrilla wars that have been won have been backed by governments (think Vietnam and Afghanistan where the Soviets and the US backed the insurgents that eventually won) or have used drug running to fund their activities.

no doubt there would need to be big money financial backing from some large industrialized country.
