That’s not the SWAT team...those are officers in their “riot gear.”

They must have been expecting a large crowd and thought they would need to keep people “back” from the building.

Obviously not a concern.

The scene commander may have done everyone a favor by “overpreparing” and creating a great photo op.

But the scary thing is that these cops essentially turned on the very people they pledged to serve and protect. There is more going on here than meets the eye.

In my state, NJ, there is a big push for police department consolidation. The stated goal is to reduce law enforcement costs. But I think the real goal is to grow the power of the law enforcement unions. Remember, every society needs police. The Onadas administration is courting the police, tyhrough their unions, with promises of higher pay and more power.

People need to wake up. Can you imagine the police acquiring the same power as the teacher’s unions—and only answerable to the tyrant in the WH?

Though the presense of the SWAT Goons is silly, the fact that these policeman sold out is not.
