d (deprecated_ii@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Dec-2022 12:32:15 JST d you can't view law enforcement, federal or local, as if they're a military unit
the main reason is law enforcement doesn't have its own logistics capability; they just order shit online like everyone else and it shows up in a truck someone else owns. that doesn't work so well when hostilities start
but they also haven't been trained to fight as a unit. even FBI HRT would get their shit wrecked by any small, competent infantry element because the SWAT types train to deal with contained threats in a secure environment. that's the opposite of what you deal with in a war, especially a civil war with no defined lines
they're most accurately viewed as what they are: a big violent gang- Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this.

Far from the expected super-slick my-body-is-a-weapon operators they like to pretend they are.

d (deprecated_ii@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Dec-2022 13:47:48 JST d @PvtProperty they'd lose a handful of cops in one day and then suddenly all the cops would pretend they'd been on the locals' side all along Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this.
