    “There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” -Commander William Adama

      Well see, in America, the police do not serve and protect the people, so the disconnect started long ago. This has always been the plan.

        In America, police exist to catch fugitive slaves and break labor strikes. That’s literally what they were initially created to do.

          I know what the police are. Thanks. I literally said as much, just framing it in the context of what I replied to.

    The reason West Virginia exists is because they refused to succeed from the Union with the rest of that State. It’s sad to see them in service of the traitors this time round.

      “Secede” is what they refused to do then. “Suceed” is what they refuse to do now.
