Yeah, one thing it demonstrated to me was that the idea that “most police are good and won’t enforce illegal/unconstitutional edicts” - is pie-in-the-sky bullshit.
If this country EVER had decent people in positions of law enforcement, those days are long fucking gone.
It was obvious that the FBI is nothing more than the military wing of a political tribe, but I always thought the local cops in most places were above that sort of shit. Nope.
What was supposed to happen is that any mayor who ordered such edicts on local businesses was outright ignored/boycotted by law enforcement at worst, arrested by law enforcement at best.
I could make the same argument against the current iteration of our military, as well. Chain-of-command is supposed to go out the window the moment that the command starts doing unconstitutional, tyrannical bullshit.
Personally, I blame the moral degradation of our culture. Everything is downstream of that.
Once the vote is compromised, there is only one option left..and it begins and ends with armed men who have a moral code which supersedes chain-of-command. That code is enshrined in the constitution. Too bad that so many ignore it in favor of those who have literally stolen and sold the country.
In any successful violent revolution, at least some faction of military trained men is necessary. Armed civilians can buttress such a force, but cannot succeed on their own. I sure hope such people still exist, but I see little to no evidence that they do. If they did, things would not have gotten this far.
