what legit leo training involves helicopter bs, hmm? it's that sort of stuff that gov't use against "rebels". and guys like you approve of it, until YOU are the one being attacked. no, the waco and Ruby ridge abuses of power were NOT adjudicated, either. the prosecutor REFUSED to charge those Nazi bastards.
:cluebat:
Really, there's no possible law enforcement application for this?
There's NEVER been ANY type of criminal activity that could be dealt with with this equipment -- in fact,
required it?
Like anything else it is a sword that cuts both ways.
When we learned to split the atom we learned how to destroy a city with one bomb, but we learned how to provide power for it with one reactor.
A group of highly trained men can form themselves into a SWAT team and rescue hostages and capture thugs in very difficult tactical situations ... they can also form "einsatzgruppen" and be used to destroy undesirable people or political opponents.
It depends upon how they're used, which stems from the kind of men they are. I cannot believe any LEO today who has joined up to maintain safety and the good order of society would be willing to allow himself to become a member of any modern-day "einsatgruppen."
Yes, examples of bad LEO exist. We have the aforementioned examples of Ruby Ridge and Waco, where federal law enforcement efforts "went sideways." I could go into the reasons I believe they happened and IMHO the truth itself is damning enough of these two actions. I spent a lot of time back in the 1990s looking into these actions and debunking all the garbage myths & lies that popped up about them that today, I really don't want to rehash it all.
In any case the final conclusion I came to was that it is unhelpful to engage in conspiracy mongering. If you want to fear, better to fear the politicians who make the law -- which is what the police will be enfocing.
Become politically aware! Know what those policritters want to do! VOTE!
THAT, in a nutshell, is how to defend yourself.
