O please. Get a grip. You’ll get yourself shot. Or you’ll shot a cop, and give an excuse for even more violence and state repression. Individuals can’t fight their way out of repressive regimes.
Get a camera, set it to record to a remote location, preferable a data center in another country. What we really need are tech volunteers to start setting up these types of digital cameras in ethnic neighborhoods to document what is happening.
National Guard is a branch of the army isn’t it? I’m not sure you can just quit. AWOL? Maybe. If you’re close to your end date you can choose not to continue. But quit? Don’t think army works like that
This isn’t russia, AWOL means forefitting benefits and possibly sitting in jail for a bit. Juggling between the consequences of AWOL or carrying out nazi orders, I know what my choice would be.
remember anyone who joined did so willingly as we are 100% volunteers in the US.
If you find yourself waking up to the facts of the regime you volunteered for, good! if you are unwilling to lose benefits or do some time, then you’re not yet awake enough to really care.
remember: you may have joined due to propaganda and agitation, and you may not be able to awol because of capitalism.
the very same “ism” that profits from the military action.
If you don’t take off the uniform and quit, you’re a Gestapo agent.
Refuse. Unlawful. Orders.
If sanity ever returns to your country, you don’t want to be on the wrong side.
If a masked person enters my property and refuses to show identification, I will absolutely be practicing self-defense.
Do it just like the Founding Fathers intended:
TIL bayonet wounds are triangle shaped.
I believe the triangular bayonets are against the Geneva Convention rules of war now chiefly because of their lethality.

Happy to lend tech expertise where needed, let me know
If an unidentified masked person is harassing me on my property I’m not just going to let it happen but make sure it is recorded.
The same army we would be fighting got their asses handed to them by insurgents in Vietnam and Afghanistan
Where did you hear this? You are flat-out wrong, thousands of examples prove this statement to be totally untrue.
Also, there’s usually much more to it than simply fighting, it’s rarely “peaceful protest” or “fighting” alone.
But they can film their way out of one?

I’m not saying you shouldn’t go AWOL. I’m saying you can’t just quit

You can’t just leave your badge on the desk and walk out like in movies, either.
But being punished for abandoning your post might be the only other alternative to being a brute in the service of a dictator.
The Army and law enforcement of DC will decide in whatever direction their personal characters leans them towards.
“I can change THE system from THE inside!!1”
No, you can’t. Run. The tribunals that you will face after Trump is arrested or killed will not be kind to you.
So funny story, I had a coworker basically up and walk out like in the movies. So I mean, you kind of can.
Meaning not without legal repercussions. You have to be formally discharged in both services.
But hey, law and common sense appear to be clean out the window in America now so, go nuts!
Never heard about any legal percussions. Supposedly he can’t come back though
