Sec. 4. Using National Security Assets for Law and Order. (a) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement.
the funny thing is, it seems like in most situations where an amerikkkan trooper and a cop interact, the cop is always way more unhinged and lacks trigger discipline of any kind, just panic. not that that makes me feel better about the military policing of the core, it just goes to show how psychotic cops are.
I remember reading a story about an ex-army guy that joined the police, who kept trying to de-escalate all sorts of situations, because a man with a gun wasn’t too scary considering the wars he served in.
One day he attempts to de-escalate a guy that was attempting suicide by cop, it started working, but was taking a long time. Eventually, his PD showed up and shot the guy.
The army guy was eventually fired for supposedly endangering PD and civilian lives by not acting fast enough on shooting people.-

Do you have any links where I could read more about this?

Thank you!
Wasn’t it that he’d deescalated, disarmed, and cuffed the guy and another cop just shows up and executes the passive, already captured person?
Not that the US military is good but soldiers have better training, clearer and better enforced rules of engagement, and generally didn’t sign up to brutalize the people of their own country (just others).
This is true outside of the US too. As a general rule soldiers are much more likely to get pissed off when you tell them to shoot at their fellow citizens than cops are.
The military is also sold as a way out for high schoolers with minimal job prospects. Probably a majority of US soldiers right now are in the military for the benefits and not for any patriotic/psychotic reason. Not to hand it to the US military or anything but the average private isn’t evil the way the average cop is.
Yeah a solid half of the military hoped they’d get put in some sort of admin position, never leave the base, get college paid for and never think about it again
Is it really that low? I’d have said 90-95% weren’t suckers.
This is just going to be giving those trigger happy cops a promotion and more authority.
