>and if local or state police weren't effective enough, they would welcome federal police. I don't think anyone wants a timeline where tanks are patrolling the roads. There's a reason our military outside the national guard doesn't focus on domestic action unless there's a dire emergency. >They see some dude with a criminal record and face tattoos and think "this person probably shouldn't be in our country". You could disagree but this is the normie take. The US doesn't exile people. Pretty sure that's illegal and it makes no sense anyway. Who's going to take in a legal US Citizen who does not want to leave the country? People's feelings do not supercede the law of the land. >A lot of people in a big city just see filth and people sleeping on the street and are annoyed that things have gotten like this. clearly not annoyed enough to figure out why things got like this as they keep pushing for zoning laws and defunding shelters.

> I don't think anyone wants a timeline where tanks are patrolling the roads. There's a reason our military outside the national guard doesn't focus on domestic action unless there's a dire emergency. This was mentioned a few decades ago (in 2004, the post-9/11 environment) by Battlestar Galactica: > There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnZ53lPPsF0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnZ53lPPsF0 * https://www.vox.com/xpress/2014/8/14/6002211/battlestar-galactica-had-the-perfect-argument-for-keeping-police-and https://www.vox.com/xpress/2014/8/14/6002211/battlestar-gala...
