      Two National Guardsmen respond.

      “Oh, shit. Geez - they sure pumped a lotta bullets into that woman. What do we do???”

      “I dunno. Hand out more donuts?”

      “At the very end - how many shots was that? Two?”

      “Three? Maybe four? We gotta wait for the instant replay.”

      “The what?”

      “The videos. The videos, dummy.”

        This is actually the better alternative where their bootlicking instincts don’t take over and they instantly light up whoever ICE is shooting

          Yeah, they’re going to start blasting protesters at some point, might as well lube them up with coffee and donuts.

    If the national guard handed me coffee and a donut, I would take it as explicit confirmation that they weren’t gonna help me against ICE

    Maybe I’m paranoid, but this seems like an opportunity for someone to do a false flag attack that would justify full military occupation. Again, maybe I’m paranoid.

      If Trump and his cronies were competent - they would have already done a false flag.

        I think they may have already tried several times just that they’re so far detached from reality that they false flagged things nobody really cares about. Like Charlie Kirk, faking that assassination attempt on trump, I think there was a xitter hack they tried to make a hullabaloo about…

      It’s pan o plomo. There isn’t a need for a false flag to justify it if liberals see the occupation force as their friends.

    I mean yeah, they aren’t federalized. This is exactly the thing that Waltz would have them do in an attempt to de-escelate.

    Ok so they’re going to do the whole “we tried to be reasonable, we tried to de-escalate” routine first and then they’re going to escalate to mass crackdowns and violent military occupation to enforce a stop the protests.

    This is portfolio building for a plan that’s already in place. The plan is to make the protests look bad when it escalates despite their attempts at being “reasonable” and “nice”.

    If actual protestors won’t escalate they’ll use their own double agents among the protestors.

    This feels like the first frame of a “how it started vs how it’s going” that’s going to do huge numbers in about a week.
