Can the SWAT team put down and arrest an armed mob/unidentified secret police?
That is what these unidentified secret police really are. Send in the SWAT team with their military vehicles and announce put down your arms and lay down. Arrest them on the spot. Check out their credentials down at the station. Could be stolen or fake. Block their escape in their rented vans or shoot the tires if need be. Announce that anyone holding a weapon is now considered an aggressor.
Precedent? Texas State Police arrested some militia folks under similar conditions.

No way will municipal thugs take down Federal Thugs. They are cut from the same rotten cloth.

(4,514 posts)You've got SWAT teams, NG and law enforcement units full of Trump cultists and his militias and secret police to back them up. Anytime states rights vs federal on a large scale, the stage is set for an insurgency or even civil war. I have hope we can back away, but I am preparing for the worst all the same.
