With weapons? I have never seen that in my life. Ok, twice. New Orleans was under martial law during Katrina and the Rodney King riots with the Marines.

I was involved in both events. Not so much LA riots, I did see them roll out but more Katrina.

"Lower you weapon soldier,.. over."

Spez:

For those two FIB Agents who did not get the reference, it's from N.O. after Katrina. As is shown HERE.

There is no reason to walk around with weapons. One person guard them in the truck but I do hope you are right and they are just young kids unaware.

I hope you are right but it freaks civilians out. It was the main complaint I recall from Katrina. The people were really scared and unhinged about it but we had to have weapons. There was no police. We were the police and we don't have a lot of pistols unless it's a deployment overseas.
