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.
tbh they're much less likely to murder me than a cop
I just don't want cops. Anything is better. They're structurally the worst of the government gangs.
Obviously not having armed men on trains is the best option but lol
Christ, you think this shit is bad? Wait until they start making you pull the subway cars yourself.
Cops have all the gear that national guard have because this is a fascist country. Even if you don't think national guard are less terrified and bloodthirsty than cops (structurally there's reasons to think they are), you're still left with there being little other difference aside from the uniform.
rabid zombie murder ninjas are probably less likely to murder you than a cop
Wow… blown away rn. Just looked it up and it’s true. Zero deaths from rabid zombie murder ninjas in the US last year. We need to get these guys on subway patrol asap
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.
LOL. I used to work at a large state air national guard base. The most ridiculous thing I've ever seen is guardsmen, walking back from getting their mcdonalds delivery at the main gate, DRAGGING THE MUZZLES OF THEIR RIFLES ON THE GROUND. Congrats, you've just upgraded from fairly untrained and mostly terrified to completely untrained and completely terrified armed psychos roaming the community. Name something more amerikkkan.
I have a hard time believing that anything in the US is worse than its police. At the very worst, National Guard are just as bad as cops. I could believe that. But worse? Nah.
