    To be fair, the purpose of real military forces is to kill real soldiers.

    That’s the point. Send in the stupid violent cannon fodder to gin up a reason to federalize the national guard.

    They’re cosplaytriots fighting people that are unwilling to fight back. There’s no price for being boot camp dropouts with a badge.

    That is always the first thing I notice every time I see a video of these clowns. They are REALLY bad at this shit. The amount of times you see like one dude just wander away from his backup with his eyes on his phone is fucking hilarious. The only reason these guys aren’t getting blown away every day is because no one is trying to.

    TL;DR : we already know it, they’re a bunch of cosplayer that think that their « jobs » are a CoD’s game.

    They’re thinking that intimidation will not bring violence to them

    Be safe out there. Love & Rage

        Many of them WERE cops with no avenue of promotion. ICE gave them a pay raise and the ability to see the country.

    They’re posturing like they want to be tested on their military tactics right? Am I picking up on that?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
