I'm just gonna keep posting this any time I see the military acting as a police force.
There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
-Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica (2004)
What about when the police force acts like a military? what happens the.. oh.. nevermind
Such an amazing show and accidentally sorta predicting a number of events that are happening now?
"All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again."
Science fiction has always been a vehicle for social commentary
Maybe they shouldn't let federal troops take over their state? They act like they're not a top 10 military unto themselves.
Well, there are legal proceedings trying to show that using the federal troops in this way is illegal and have them removed. What exactly are you proposing, that the LAPD start a war with the Marines?
Why would pigs and bootlickers killing each other be a bad thing?
You're right, it would be super cool to kill lots of people and blow up all the infrastructure.
Which ignorant fucksticks don't fear marines being deployed against American citizens?
Ah, right, the fascist ones. They love the idea.
its also a russia thing to do, trump follows putins playbook.
I thought whenever military are sent to an area to control ... they are 'OCCUPYING' it and controlling it for themselves through force
.... like what they've been doing for years in foreign countries.
The problem is that the distinction between the pigs and soldiers is academic. But didn't we always know that the skills learned in Iraq and Afghanistan would be applied at home?
