re: #27 klys

…so, pretty much, a lot of what we already see from the Tea Party?

One proposed explanation I’ve seen for the completely irrational response of the police in preceding days to this incident is the acceptance of the RWNJ “imminent race war” fantasy by relevant law enforcement organizations.

IMO, this is the closest thing I’ve seen to a plausible explanation. Complete and total incompetence would not (IMO) focus so relentlessly on military-style escalation.
