You mean The "Iraq definitely has WMDs" New York Times? Yeah, I think I see why you got a skewed version of the story.

Zero evidence? The DOD just released a memo last month saying they can provide potentially lethal assistance to law enforcement. They might not have used the military to go after anyone yet, but they're laying the groundwork.

DOD DIRECTIVE 5240.01

(2) The decision to approve requests for these types of permissible assistance described in Paragraph 3.2. to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities are reserved to the Secretary of Defense:

(c) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated. Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support.

Either your source is biased or you have some reading comprehension issues. He didn't illegally sell guns and only fell afoul of ATF rules after they changed the rules without any input from Congress. There was only one raid because they postponed it when they found out he wouldn't be there. He didn't need to be there for them to execute their warrant, but he did need to be there for an extrajudicial execution.

The one where a federal agency got a search warrant for a man's house (not an arrest warrant for him) and called off the raid when they found out he wouldn't be home, so they could try again when he was there to create a situation where they could justify murdering him. Look it up, it's fucking wild.

No, Biden didn't threaten to use F-15s, he just said that if you want to resist his hit squads you'll have to do better than Bryan Malinowski.

Not to diminish the seriousness of Trump's rhetoric, but threatening to use the military against citizens is one of the few issues that is actually a 'both sides' problem.

And, by the way, if they want to think they — it’s to take on government if we get out of line, which they’re talking again about — well, guess what?  They need F-15s.  They don’t need a rifle.

I don't usually agree with my Trump culty neighbor's FJB flag, but it's not unlike a broken clock.

The inaccurate ones are the scariest. That crab isn't remotely natural, it must be the work of a truly gifted and insane necromancer.

Yeah, let's keep a list of who's not armed so they can cross reference that with their sign list before they go on the offensive. Great idea.

At that point you’re looking at a potential mass stabbing incident

At which point the NYPD will hide because that's scary

Pretty sure when it said 'buy a predator' it meant 'pay the ATF $200'

Big IF

And yet they didn't release the footage. Either there's no knife or the behavior of the police was outrageously incompetent. If they were justified they'd be tripping over themselves to show it.

Are the NYPD still carrying guns with a 12 pound trigger pull? Why can't they aim for shit?

The police didn't shoot him in the head. They were just doing their jobs as we asked them to and somehow that happened, total coincidence.

cops said was armed with a knife

You know they lie to cover their own asses, right?

Take the guns from the police and give them to the embryos. I think you're on to something here.

“We will be working through the timeline of today, but make no mistake, the events that occurred on the Sutter Avenue station platform are the results of an armed perpetrator who was confronted by our officers doing the job we asked them to do," Donlon said.

Could we maybe not ask police officers to escalate minor and petty conflicts all the way up to shooting everyone in the immediate vicinity?

"these beast of the fields"

Fucking dimwits

“Law enforcement cannot do this alone,” Monaco said during a gathering in Washington of federal law enforcement officials, members of the 3D-printing industry and academia. “We need to engage software developers, technology experts and leaders in the 3-D-printing industry to identify solutions in this fight.”

Good luck with that, it's basically impossible. The best they could hope to do is have commercial printing services watch for and refuse to print the devices. Anyone can look up the patent for a Glock switch and design and print one themselves. It can't be blocked on the printer level because that would require the printer to be a lot smarter than they currently are, and any such blocking could be bypassed by building a printer from scratch (not easy, but totally doable).

World powers ... don't want Truth Social

Oh, I thought it was everyone
