They also don't receive proper training for the new equipment, they are just given it and expected to figure out best practices. They do not.

Also if you think a geared up riot trooper with an assault rifle projects the same image as just a normal police officer, or even one with a shield and baton, you're nuts. The perception of the police by the public is an important factor.

Even a guy holding a riot shield and baton still kinda looks defensive. I'm sure if they were advancing towards me I'd feel different, but when just standing in a line, it looks like a wall. A line of guys pointing surplus military rifles wearing camo looks like a bunch of guys ready to start shooting.

What's in Montana that would eat that many nukes? Did they just get tired of pinpointing sites and drop the last hundred or so there?

Those black blobs are there general locations of our ICBMs. Also there is a large airforce base in that region, and it used to host a lot of bombers.

This gives me the heebie jeebies. Like how many steps removed from just straight up worshipping weapons and technology are some folks now?

If they start talking about worshipping the Omnissiah I'm in.
