Can we not make a discussion sparked by murdered officers an exercise in paranoia? Please. Basic respect & decency.
It's a simple statement of fact
@Neverthesame asked a valid question about who would constitute a Fe'ral police, and put some agencies in there as a joke
Several of those joke agencies actually do have SWAT teams, ludicrous as it may seem for them to have.
A simple internet search will show you that they exist in such unlikely places as the department of agriculture, and department of education.
There is no paranoia in pointing out the full extent of that problem
SWAT = Special Weapons and Tactics,
They aren't there to help old ladies cross the road,
those are people who's job it is to point guns at people - which means to threaten people's lives
I'm certainly not going to condone murder
- but there comes a time when having one group in a society, feeling entitled to threaten the lives of other groups of people in that society, begins to engender a lot of bitterness and resentment. That's a simple and undeniable reality; most people don't like having their lives threatened.
There are also people who have a vested interest in discrediting and silencing those who are expressing justifiable resentment and grievance.
The actions of those seeking to discredit have been seen before; COINTELPRO is an investigated and documented example of that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO in the united state and Gladio was an example in Europe.
It is not paranoia to point out that there are historical examples (within my lifetime) of disinformation and even of false flag atrocities and assassinations being staged in order to discredit messages, greivances and movements.
Gladio for example carried out attacks on politicians, cops and conscript soldiers, as well as bombing Italian railway stations and shooting up customers in Belgian supermarkets
COINTELPRO issued false propaganda against, ammong others Martin Luther King - the person who was campaigning for peaceful change.

Why am I pointing this out and risking a possible thread ban?
Because if people are not aware of history, they are likely to repeat mistakes that have been made before
Dictators have risen to power, World wars have been started and genocides killing millions have been justified on the basis of false flags
I'm not suggesting that the killings discussed in this thread were false flags - We will probably never know - but if people are aware of what false flags are, they are less likely to be stampeded into far more dangerous situations, and they are far more likely to treat the mainstream media and politicians with appropriate scepticism, and to apply their full reason to proposed actions.
