A reminder that sheriffs are generally elected and are almost always attention seeking assholes. ACAB to the grave.
Edit was for clarity.
So the military said “no.”
He just hasn’t removed the right people…yet. The military will be coming, make no mistake.
IMO it’s unlikely, from the day you “swear in”, throughout all of boot camp and at regular trainings after its beat into you that you serve the constitution and that you can and SHOULD disregard an illegal order and what constitutes an illegal order AND an illegal order from the Commander in chief especially is still an illegal order and should be dealt with accordingly
And let me tell you, there’s far far FAR more enlisted just waiting for an illegal order to come through so they can finally tell an officer to go fuck themselves
So much wishful thinking.
The US military is the biggest commitor of war crimes behind Israel, they regular slaughter civilians and laugh about it, and the only ones to ever get in trouble and serve time are always the whistle blowers.
What planet do you live on?
Is it time to be violent yet?
@_wizard@lemmy.world , They already decided. Stand down men!
You yanks should have started the violence well and truely by now tbh! Now it’s just a combo of sad and horrifying watching this from afar!
I could only attempt to imagine, :( I really hope this mess is over as fast and as neatly as possible for you guys.
You mean the police aren’t already militarized? We had them riding APCs out here in PDX in his first term. Oy vey do I hate this man.
