If you see a straight line of brown and tan uniforms, do you ever really think "theres the good guys?"
- Well, if they come from doorless brown trucks, I'd at least think "someone is getting a delivery! Like 'stoner fell asleep on the 9 key while ordering ramen noodles and just completed the order without noticing that the amount said 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999"
- The thin brown streak
Context?
- Can't name the incident, but this is an American Indian tribe vs police over a land dispute. I think it was about an oil pipeline crossing tribal lands.
  
  Probably the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at Standing Rock reserve?
  
  This is Police? They have fucking machineguns on cars?! If the 2A people would have any brains, they would dismantle the police now, because that is what a malicious governments supression force looks like.
- Standing Rock I think, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onyk7guvHK8

- What in the revisionist history are you talking about? Obama's hands were tied because he wasn't president anymore. The pipeline was given approval to go ahead by then President Trump, reversing the decision to stop it by the Obama administration.
- n December 2016, under President Barack Obama's administration, the Corps of Engineers denied an easement for construction of the pipeline under the Missouri River,[13][14][15] though this decision was reversed the following month by the incoming administration of President Donald Trump. The pipeline was completed by April 2017, and its first oil was delivered on May 14.

  And your own link that you posted states that "Grandpa Joe" rescinded the cross-border permit granted by the Trump administration.
  
  You're mad at the wrong people my dude.
That poor horse needs to be fed.
Look how fucking fat all those assholes are. They don't intimidate me in the slightest, because a light jog would be all you'd need to stay out of danger.
- The hard truth is you can't outrun a bullet
  
  You're not wrong but if they want to shoot you they will regardless. Might as well make yourself a moving target.
Good thing that the police have turned up with a military humvee, I'm sure that will be needed
- Even more overkill, they’re MRAPS made to survive IEDs.
  
  I do believe those are sonic weapons mounted atop.
- It was the national guard. But yea they shouldn't be there either. The oil companies and the Republicans called them in smh. This was several years ago like when Trump was president
