What Would Happen if "Battle of Athens" Round Two Ever Becomes Necessary?
A good article about the militarization of our police departments.
THE FOUR RULES
1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.
2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.
3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.
4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.
Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum
Sam Adams, more than beer
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
― Samuel Adams
― Samuel Adams
Lincoln on power
"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Good article, but a couple of points:
1. Most police aren't gun folks. Having the weapons is not the same thing as knowing how to use them.
2. Even with having all those weapons, they will be outgunned bu the people that DO know how to use them....we use them for fun several limes a month. SHooting a cop isn't that different from shooting a deer, or a squirrel, or even a paper target ....aim, squeeze, etc.
3. Once their buddies fail to return from a mission, and their armored vehicle is badly damaged, they will think twice. WHen 10 go out and 6 come back, with one dead and 3 in the hospital, their priorities will change.
4. Not to mention the fact that when they kill decent citizens, they will find living in a community to become less than pleasant. Families suffer because dad works as a police officer...People give momma a hard time at the grocery because hubby is a cop, Not to say that many people won't be hurt or killed to make this happen, but at some point dude and his family gotta leave town because they are ostracized and can't live there.
Also if there was an Athens round II, the democrat political machine would call in the FBI ASAP and Eric Holder will see a racial angle to this and bring in the Feds or the state.
I don't know about Athens 2 but I want to see these vehicles running in a couple years after the maintenance costs start to really build up.
They would lose again... And we'd lose some on our side too...
