You mean The "Iraq definitely has WMDs" New York Times? Yeah, I think I see why you got a skewed version of the story.

Zero evidence? The DOD just released a memo last month saying they can provide potentially lethal assistance to law enforcement. They might not have used the military to go after anyone yet, but they're laying the groundwork.

DOD DIRECTIVE 5240.01

(2) The decision to approve requests for these types of permissible assistance described in Paragraph 3.2. to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities are reserved to the Secretary of Defense:

(c) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated. Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support.

Either your source is biased or you have some reading comprehension issues. He didn't illegally sell guns and only fell afoul of ATF rules after they changed the rules without any input from Congress. There was only one raid because they postponed it when they found out he wouldn't be there. He didn't need to be there for them to execute their warrant, but he did need to be there for an extrajudicial execution.

Fuck your cat

The inaccurate ones are the scariest. That crab isn't remotely natural, it must be the work of a truly gifted and insane necromancer.

Yeah, let's keep a list of who's not armed so they can cross reference that with their sign list before they go on the offensive. Great idea.

At that point you’re looking at a potential mass stabbing incident

At which point the NYPD will hide because that's scary

Big IF

And yet they didn't release the footage. Either there's no knife or the behavior of the police was outrageously incompetent. If they were justified they'd be tripping over themselves to show it.
