Seems to me riot police used to use shields and fire hoses, not M4s and mounted weapons. There is a reason the military and police are separate—when we deploy it’s to kill enemies; when they deploy it’s to protect the public?
Thugs, wannabes, and cowards are a bad combination, and in this situation, those terms can be equally used on both sides. May God save this country, though we scarce deserve it.
Yes, I do not like that either. If their intent is to shoot to kill, the weapon choices are ideal. Otherwise... What? What is their intent?
Why not call in an airstrike? Laugh, but who would have thought that they’d have what they now have, 20-30 years ago?
Well, FRiend, I have just about all the firearms those cops have in my safe. You want to go out and face a mob armed like that with a firehose? What happens to the surrounding neighborhoods when all the firehose cops are shot?
Obama’s collectivist vision does just what you are talking about and what most countries experience, but we have never in America: the government deploying forces against its own citizens as enemies of the state.
You probably know this, but more people have been killed by their own governments then by all the invading armies in history.
We have been so blessed in Ameirca. We know nothing of the misery that has been the norm throughout the sad history of man’s oppression of his fellow man.
