Maybe. They would likely call in heavier reinforcement if that became common. Solo fighters stand little chance of making a dent in them even when properly trained and armed. Sadly, that is a situation too many face given so many are so vehemently against violence of any kind. Maybe my ideas are colored by the media and there are more willing to go visceral than the media wants us to believe
These cops are functionallly bullies, it they realized there was real danger it would stop them. They've been avoiding anything actually dangerous for a reason. They might be able to call in a swat team for assistance, but it would destroy their ability to do widespread raids if there was legitimate fear for their own safety.
A single child with a gun held dozens of cops at bay for hours after the "heavier reinforcements" showed up.
These people are cowards and are only acting this way because they know they won't face any resistance.
You're 100% right.
They're targeting Democratic cities with large numbers of democratic gun owners because they're hoping for a confrontation.
It might be inevitable, but I guarantee you they will not back down once you give them what they have been trying to incite.
There's a reason Miller, Hegseth, and Bondi made an appearance, got all those armed people pumped full of adrenaline, and then literally slipped out the back door yesterday before flying far, far away. They don't plan on being present on the battlefield for the war they're creating.
They need people to fight and die while they give orders and watch comfortably from afar like it's some kind of UFC ultimate match.
Bullshit. If they wanted an armed standoff they'd go to places that have high gun ownership and Stand Your Ground laws.
One of the reasons they are busting into Chicago city apartments id precisely because they know they're least likely to be armed and anyone defending their property doesn't have the law on their side.
