What concerns me here is the massive use of those security forces which very often have little effective use in keeping us safe, but have very effective use in controlling us, or at least very easily could. Obey the kindly dress in black "law enforcement" officer, or else.
I am not saying that these security forces are actively suppressing civil society at this moment,, as well as the general population, but I am saying it would be very easy, and very likely, for that to happen.
Well, here in Canader, we don't have many terrorist attacks, but when we do have them, the troops are on the streets, and they don't bother us, we're not afraid of our own troops, Canadians love their troops. If it was foreign troops, OK, we'd go ballistic, but Canadian troops, we have no problem with.
There's plenty lefty wefty bleeding hearts here, make no mistake, but when you're talking paramilitary threat, terrorist attack, even they want the troops out to stand on guard for we, that's what we pay them for.
If you're talking a major city, the police do not have enough boots on the ground to cover the bases, they don't do security, they do enforcement, when there is a threat above their means, they need troops to back them up, just for their own security, since they are in the line of fire, they are lightly armed, they don't have heavy armor, they don't have enough vehicles, they don't have enough helcopters, they don't have combat medivac, no CBRN capability, and most of all, they just can't spare people to do guard duty, regular policing doesn't stop in the meantime, that's got to continue as well.
So if the threat is paramilitary, they are outgunned and overmatched and overtasked, from the get go. Defense of the realm, includes aid to the civil power, and rightly so, the troops don't deploy themselves, the civil power must request it, it's not a coup de tat, you hysterical nitwit.
Like, forget you, you can hide under your bed, but I'm not sending our coppers out against the Islamic State just back from Syria or what have you, with only a glock a radio and a squad car, I'm backing them up with the troops, and if people like you can't stomache it, stay out of Cananda then.
Our ultimate counterterrorism unit is the military, CANSOFCOM is on stand-by, 24-7-365, Imediate Reaction Task Force, but you know, it's Justin Trdueau's call, and he's a Lefty Wefty, he's a substitute drama teacher for pete's sake, but quite sure he wouldn't mess about, would be political suicide if he did, and then the shit hit the fan after.
