      If this timeline is crazy enough, I can see marines giving a warning shot over LAPD heads when they start doing funny things.

          But a Marine in bargain-bin decade-old hardware will absolutely walk straight up the barrel of a “less-lethal” loaded rifle and physically manhandle the cop in luxury fascist tech who thinks <40 hours of range time means they’re ready for combat.

          You’re letting your fantasies escape through your skull holes, comrade. The military is going to point their guns, just as the cops next to them will be, at the people protesting the kidnapping of their neighbors by the gestapo.

      I was going to say something like this. I would rather my protest be surrounded by Marines from 29 palms then the LAPD. I’m a bit biased for being a veteran myself, but I trust cops a lot less. Not that the military can’t do any wrong.
