In capitalist America, in order to go to work every day you have to let the military search through your belongings. Once you pass the military checkpoint you must still be wary because there are police officers disguised as civilians hiding in the crowd.
Are they?
Yes, they are. Cops kill over 1000 people every year in the US. We have no idea how many shots are fired, especially when they're popping off because an acorn hit their car or something stupid.
Maybe it's just less interaction with the public idk
It's the less interaction with people thing for sure. The shit the NG did during Katrina or even Kent State is horrific, the more exposure to civilians they get the more awful shit will happen
There’s an even more recent example with how states deployed NG during the 2020 BLM protests
Yeah, I linked an article about that one ng genius firing on a car because a cop with a beanbag gun said "light em up"
Literally any excuse to pull the trigger is good enough for them
Looks like contradictions need more sharpening.
