I mean, in any revolution within the US, it would be cops trying to play soldier vs the citizens in the initial moves.
Folks like to think the army, or the marines are what we would be fighting. Maybe eventually, after things get far enough along, but the first steps in seizing control is removing the police because they’re the ones that will be guarding property and responding to attacks against politicians and/or oligarchs.
Of course the cops want to play soldier. There’s enough of them in place because they’re infiltrators from extremist groups. Often the most rabid racist groups. It’s no secret at all that their plan is to be in place to seize control themselves.
I don’t buy into the literal acab bullshit, only the systemic version. But that system is bad, and part of what’s making it worse is this kind of thing. Those assholes right there? Those are the guys you’ll want to be watching if shit gets real.
Which is funny because part of the reason to have civilian police is that they don’t report to the military and ideally would side with the civilians against a tyrannical government.

Funnily enough, cops would probably not know a tyrannical government until it knocked
ondown their door.
