Cant speak on that.

Yeah

Most Canadian veterans have that attitude and are not defenders of the government but of the land and its people though there are jackboots among them they seem to be a minority

Luckily

Police seem to be 50 50 up here

Huh, I just learned about something the Philadelphia police did in 85

Was that when they dropped a bomb from a chopper?

Yeah

They dropped a couple of one pound packages of spicy noise playdough on children

I knew about the time they firebombed black wall street in Tulsa but not this

If I recall, and I might not be recalling correctly, mind, it was a black group who had issue with the local government. The official story was they had machine guns and bombs and were planning sketchy stuff. I’m not super familiar with the whole story.

If we knew everything sketchy/illegal all the various PDs have done, and it was public knowledge, we probably wouldn't have to worry about corruption for long

If police stopped having special protections, it would go a long way towards that goal.

Athens Tennessee, 1946. Can we bring that back?

At least the public standing up to corruption rather than sitting back and saying "that's just the way it is and always will be"

Oh yeah they flattened a neighborhood to get them

I think it was a militant offshoot of the BPP

I only heard about Athens fairly recently. Back when people held people accountable.

My memory is a little hazy on this one

The Battle of Athens should be mandatory in history class

That would teach that it’s okay to not only question, but overthrow authority. That’s no bueno in the public indoctrination system.

Excellent example of why everyone should be armed and an excellent example of veterans honouring their oaths

Oh of course the government wouldn't like people to know that

Thays why they brush the patriot war and all the other rebellions from 1837 right up till the 1880s under the rug in Canada. They make it out like it was drunken hillbillies who had no support and there was next to no fighting or casualties which was the opposite

The problem was the British Empire learned from their mistakes in the Revolutionary war

So we didn't stand the same chance as the United States and we didn't have another superpower like france to turn to for help. The Americans tried to but didn't want another war with England after how the war of 1812 ended

I'm always a bit sketch when it comes to the government committing atrocities in the name of taking down a small group that supposedly plans on doing some really bad stuff. The government won, and needs to justify their actions, of course they're going to make out the people they murdered to be bad guys. Anti government and owns a couple of full autistic weapons? = deranged cult that wants to mow down civilians.

Yep

They could be for all I know, and we'll probably never know.

History is written by the victors

But the survivors know how to write too though it's harder to track those writings down

Bruuuuuuh
