    I think they’ll have the same beanbags, rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper ball ammunition as police. Deploying the military to fire live ammunition on protesters is a good way to turn a mass protest into a mass uprising. Why would they bother? It’d make more sense to use the same less-than-lethal rounds and let the protests fizzle out like usual.

      Well if the George floyd protests are any indication, I didn’t see no less lethal on the guard.

      At the same time, nobody fucked with them from what I saw, so that’s good I guess.
