"...conduct a no-knock raid at 3:00 am..."

Concur with your real-world post.
Most of us have families we love. Good friends. Solid well-paying jobs with big responsibilities.
Nice homes.

Who effortlessly transitions from all that...to shooting people out on the front yard?
It won’t be the flick of a lightswitch. It will be a pot of water that s-l-o-w-l-y starts getting warmer…purely to isolate us over time.
Media will conspire to paint decent patriots as complete nutjobs...so kiss your longtime job goodbye, too.

Perhaps You will realize when your Good neighbor disappeared in last night’s raid
That a certain family member was the COP that dragged him off...
Perhaps then you will see it’s time to
Stand and fight!

Or take a Knee.

Abigail Adams said it pretty well: ‘I feel a pleasure in being able to sacrifice my selfish passions to the general good, and in imitating the example which has taught me to consider myself and family, but as the small dust of the balance when compaired with the great community.’
