What’s the over-under on what side the US military ultimately comes down?
Smart money is on enough compliance for dozens of people to be killed.
Anecdotally, my uncle was working in Detroit as a junior exec at GM in July 1967. One day on his drive home from work he saw a National Guard tank roll right over a civilian car with three Black guys in it. Blood and viscera everywhere. All told, there were 43 killed, 1000 injured, at least $100 mil in property damage in today's money.
Multiple versions of that would not surprise me.
@bojacobs Depends on what their opposition is doing. Rn their opposition is, to a significant extent, lawless, violent rioters. As long as that's their opposition, they're not gonna switch sides.
