This is part of a 200-man army sent against a man they claim owes back fees -
WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS??????
The phrase "The clothes make the man." is very appropriate here. When they change the uniform and the weapons of the police officer, and the tactics they train with, they change the man. As the famous Stanford Prison Experiment showed, people can suspend their normal moral framework and adopt a completely immoral framework by being asked to fill a role where that behavior is deemed appropriate. These "officers" are dressed and being trained like they are doing patrols in occupied Baghdad. Consequently, they start to see everyone as an "insurgent."
On the other hand, the citizens who are witnessing this police transformation are adopting a mirror image phychology. They see themselves as being occupied by an invader. It really isn't that surprising that the cowboys developed the attitude that this was a life or death struggle. And it is not the fault of the cowboys that it escalated this much. It was caused by the police, their uniforms, their training, and their attitude.
We need to push back on this new police force, or they will start the civil insurgency they would claim they are trying to stop.
no joke. are these guys mercenaries straight off the boat from Kandahar or have they just watched too many movies? I mean, seriously. This is muy muy malo juju
