Sounds like a trial run.
If I were the commie in the white house, the first thing I’d do.....
I’d have the feds start “tipping off” local cops to surround militia members in the middle of the night, hoping somebody would panic or think they’re getting robbed thus open fire.
Voila. Militia member shoots police officer. CNN takes it from there.
If challenged, deny everything and announce the police got the wrong house and are sorry.
Supposing other militia members decided to get into the act and anonymously arrange to have a swarm of cops do a midnight raid on a house at one end of town and then they simultaneously cause a big ol’ ruckus at the other end of town.
Separate but related: Some cops are good, some cops are bad, but almost every cop feels like they’re above the law because they are the law. Protect and serve is no longer what they’re about.
