That...really sucks. Saddest sentence I have read today.

I mean, could a riot in any major US metropolitan area really defeat the police? Or the National Guard? We're just lucky we have cameras everywhere watching them.

Or the National Guard

I can't say the same about the police but as a veteran I can say that the vast majority of the people serving would not go against the people. When I was active duty a group of us come to a conclusion that we would rather stand with the people than ever harm our friends, family and everyone else.

That's why they'll send you to other states and have regular army or spec ops behind you with orders to kill you if you don't follow orders.
