    neat. can be done with firefighter apparatus and focus too. not needed to be done with a military.

        actual firefighter here. no we do not assist in riot control. ive not seen it in any recent memory in my 20 years in. anecdotal though this evidence is.

        point being; a few good cohorts doing life safety will happen regardless of military existence. let’s support life saving.

          I agree for the most part. But the fact is fire hoses being used on civil rights protesters is almost an iconic image

            i dont disagree however I can only see in my mind 60’s era imagery. my dept already knows the fresh hell i will give if we ever get so much as a punisher logo let alone any anti people rhetoric. lol.
