Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here. They've revived their personal army (apparently Florida is allowed to have their own "state guard" which operates wholly independently of the federal government), and now they're strengthening the capitol. I think they may actually be expecting for some form of rebellion or civil unrest, large enough that the cops wouldn't be able to handle it.

Oh I don't think cops are going to be on the side you're thinking

[–] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well if you are thinking that the cops will be on the people's side, boy have I got news for you.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They want you to think it's Dem vs Rep while they're doing Poor vs Rich.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And the majority of cops will take the side of the rich, for some reason.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The some reason is money.

Because that's what they were created to do ... keep the Black slaves in check.

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I misread the post as stating that the police would be defending the people against the internal military. Yes the police will be murdering the civilians.

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FYI, that state guard is a flop. They can't keep anyone in leadership positions & no one wants to be in it.
