Not quite like this in America, to my knowledge.
The Mafia has targeted cops who got in their way. Black Panthers. Angry African Americans after the Rodney King incident. The klan. Bootleggers protecting their hooch. But never has cold blooded murder of our defenders been whitewashed by a President as some type of almost justifiable civil rights movement in retaliation for, "hundreds of years" of oppression. And never has a POTUS fanned the flames with such talk while the burning, looting and murder spiral out of control.
I still say, he's the enemy within. Hope I haven't offended any O fans.

Doesn't any previous action set a precedent ? Whether right or wrong. I'm waiting to see who committed this last atrocity. This country has certainly lost its way. Things are drastically wrong. |

Their superiors and the media's mind set is to always send the police to a gun fight with bats. Because it doesn't offend the criminals. We support the police in our area, good or bad they need our support.

Other than the MLK riots of that era (in certain cities, and including the firemen/EMS), not in virtually any city in the nation (though thankfully it has not been in every city) (but you can bet this is being discussed and planned for in every city pre-shift briefing in the nation) |

I heard the prez is working his way to proclaiming marshal law situation, if that were true, what would that entail, far as citizens are concerned? I see all this negative crap, going in to a direction but I don’t know what it is. I know this is kind of silly, but it almost appear as a diversion for bigger things to come. Maybe I am just reading too much in to it.

If that happens they will go for confiscating guns. That will be a certain SHTF scenario.

you may or may not be reading too much into it, but judging by the overall trend of things, I doubt it. Reminds me of a old saying. Just because I'm paranoid, doesnt mean someone isnt after me. |

You know, there is a movie out there and it is a true story and much of it is based on facts, It's called Panther, it is about how and why the Black Panthers started and they used there Constitutional Rights to get there point across. The feds were scared chitless after they teamed up with the hippies. The thing that always stuck in my head is how the feds derailed the Panthers, so they could prosecute the leaders. Point is the feds seem to create the negative conditions with arms in the train car and drugs, so they could nail them. But before that, they couldn't legally touch them. If you get a chance, watch it, and you may wonder about what is going on today, is it just random, or is it planned. The point I am trying to make is not about the Panthers, it's about the strategy used to derail them, real life stuff.
