re: #248 JDRhoades

Seen the pics here of the cops aiming weapons, including sniper rifles, at unarmed protesters? All it’ll take is for someone to make a loud, sharp noise—like knocking over a trash can—-before they lose their shit and start spraying bullets.

Here’s a scary fact: the so-called SWAT teams for a lot of towns aren’t the highly trained specialists of TV and movies. They’re beat cops who volunteer to do a couple extra days of training a month for a few extra bucks and the chance to play with bigger guns than usual.

Just looking at all those paramilitary geared up SWAT/Bomb squad/DHS/Border patrol guys, you would think we suffer terror attacks weekly or more, but only have a car stolen or shoplifting happen once or twice in a lifetime.
