We Do Not Need the Military to Police Our Streets
We have well-trained, efficient police for that.
This business of policing American citizens with our own military is not normal, and soon Americans will learn the differences between their local & state police officers and armed US military. The military is trained to occupy a city. Occupied cities are at the mercy of the military. There are almost NO similarities in how they operate. Police keep the peace and enforce the laws, they are trained to “protect and serve” the public, they enforce our laws.
Military, once occupying an ordinarily enemy city IS the law. Citizens must do as they are told, or get hurt and/or incarcerated. That is how they are trained.
In their training, they completely control the citizenry and anything else they want to control, or even end, like a life. The military is not trained to observe civil rights, because they normally give none to the people of captured cities. They are trained to take FULL control of captured cities. They also end or close whatever their leaders tell them to, including businesses, restaurants. schools, hospitals, and public events.
The military would not allow protests in an occupied city. Those cities have been defeated, captured, overtaken, and yes, occupied.
