Ditto. Retired career mil and will be retired LEO in about 3 months.  And you're absolutely right. This fuse IS lit and the powder keg keeps growing larger with every passing day that shit like this hits the net.  When that fuse hits that growing powder keg, it's going to be carnage and I just hope the police are on the right side of history.  Some won't be but these men and women really need to look at the bigger picture.  This resistance is growing, not dissipating.  And sooner or later, a mob won't allow a peaceful member to be put in cuffs or be told they cannot assemble or won't be satisfied with some flunky giving a message from the governor or mayor or county commissioner who is sequestered behind locked doors.
