There is a clear difference between how police treat unarmed protesters and how they treat protestors when a large amount have rifles and vests.

I have a feeling upcoming union protests will have a much stronger response from police in the next couple years.

Look up why they originally banned machine guns for private ownership. Or what the US Army Air Force's first bombing mission was.

I still have trouble accepting how few people know that.

It blows my mind that it's largely forgotten that we had to (as private citizens) go to fucking war with companies in the first place.
