They are supposed to do what all the scary looking gun toting goons posted on the street corners of dictatorships worldwide ... intimidate people. Now we have our own goons. It always comes down to this.
They’re not goons. They’re cops.
Generally speaking, good people have nothing fear from police officers.
I am not intimidated.
Reminds me of Heathrow, 1991. They had troops with semiautomatic weapons in flack jackets patrolling the terminals. Of course, the IRA had motared the place once.
I suppose Bernie Goetz is deriving some small measure of vindication.
