“..The conversation would go something like this....”
Actually, it would go more like this:
Officer Friendly and Agent of State Accompanying:
Where are they? (once)
You: No gots ‘em.
Where are they (twice, raises rifle)
You: I told you. Ain’t got ‘em.
Where are they (grabs one of your children or your wife and places gun to their head.)
You: Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Where are they? (pulls trigger, grabs next screaming child).
If it comes to door-to-door, they ain’t worrying about warrants, or your rights, or anything else.
Do you think for one minute these animals wouldn’t hesitate to do you, your kids, your wife, and everyone in the house as an example to the rest of your recalcitrant neighbors?
And it would be because you resisted arrest, you had drugs in the house and a lot of cash, you were a white supremacist racist paramilitary extremist, etc., etc.,
Never forget who these folks are, never forget WHAT they are. They’re NOT your countrymen any longer; they’re the enemy.
There is some evidence that the “Special Units” trailed the Wehrmacht into Poland and the Baltic countries suffered a crisis in morale after a period. Seems like there’s a limit to the atrocities that men who view themselves as soldiers will put up with. Even if the subjects of those atrocities are considered ‘enemies’ and ‘sub-human’.
