Won't just be the cops.

Who pays the Army? How many will just follow orders? (There is precedent on this. Look at the Bonus Army fiasco).

The cops have everything to lose if their masters are dangling from an oak tree. Their job is to enforce Guy of Gisbourne's rules.

The Army is a whole 'nother ball game. They are sworn to "Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." And the vast majority actually believe that. Officers and enlisted.

Remember all those photo ops Hillary did in Iraq, the ones where the troops in question are standing around with their fingers crossed, the signal that they are there under duress?

The Bonus Army was from a time when the Army was frequently used to break strikes, and when the Army viewed the people in the Hoovervilles as communist.

When was the last time the Army was called out to suppress a riot? 1970, at Kent state? There is no evidence that even the JSC can trust the Army to protect them. And, most soldiers are on the Net, now. They aren't living in a knowledge vacuum. They don't have the "Us vs. Them" of Lawdogs.
