If you see those guys walking down the road next to your "protest" I bet you change your plans real quick!
Of course, there will still be some idiots who think they are making a statement or something.
But anywho, I have always been intrigued by snipers and counter-snipers.
I was never able to be a steady enough shot to do that, plus completely wrong career track, but they are right up at the top of the "badass" list of military jobs.
It’s good to let your weaker naive enemy know that you have huge fucking guns. Also it’s good to show them that you got some big ass sniper rifles on your back too.
Like the girl bot said, keep the destruction at a minimum because it's us that have to pay for the carnage when it's over, not these jobless, godless communists.
It's called a use of force continuem. The fact that there are uniformed service members there with riot gear speaks volumes. At this stage, they don't need weapons against "peaceful protests". This is a chess game.
That said, just because they are not holding weapons does not mean weapons are not there. This issue would be resolved in minutes if it got out of hand. Trust our military leaders
We do have the "non-lethal" devices you describe. The reason the soldiers are not armed is so an overzealous 18 year old does not kill a protester. Yes we are different than China - these people are trying to keep protesters's safe and the White House secure from rioters. Tank man was not run over by the tank @Tienanmen Square.
Are you for real? The national guard killing anyone ended at Kent State. They are trained to control crowds without weapons that kill. They use tear gas, pepper spray, smoke, packets of balls that explode.
Tradition? Give me a break... You're reaching back pretty far to run that narrative. Show me a governing authority that has not committed that sin and I will show you one that has rewritten history.
Esper just had them disarmed. So no weapons. It will be a mess.

And the will to use it all if needed
The cream of the crop.
If you haven't see "Enemy at the Gate" please do. If you have seen it, you know why I said that. ;-)
Sexxxy AF
Lord have mercy, those guns... 💪💪 Now I have to go repent!
My thoughts EXACTLY!!!
“Hi guys! Have a nice peaceful protest. Let’s not meet in my official capacity.”
Those arn't guitars.....
Kek!

Hard to trust Esper with the way he went outside his chain of command the other day
It's a chess game friend. Sometimes you can't tell people the truth, you must show them.
I hope you're right fren, clown world is reaching critical mass
Wonder if Esper's statement of no guns was to egg the terrorists to DC and away from other targets.
Trust the captains and SNCOs on the ground who’ll be the ones directing response to any problems.
like jim mattis?
Fired by 2 presidents. What a legacy
Peace through Strength!

Killing Protesters is a USA tradition, going back to at least the Anti Draft Riots in Baltimore, MD just before "Lincoln's War"

Esper was merely an obstacle. They are now temporary Marshals. Espers can spend this time contemplating resignation or being fired.
He's just covering his ass, he will follow orders.
Guaranteed there are vehicles very near with all their gear.
Yep. Quick Reaction Forces plus helicopters.
I hope this is just more fake news from the Washington ComPost. Either way, it is dangerous news.
