That’s what is so glaring about this. It’s so so obviously just for show. Just to intimidate and posture. They are not seriously concerned about their own safety. They feel 100% safe doing this. They are raiding a house that they are quite certain does not contain any hostiles. If they believed it did, they would be WATCHING FOR THEM and not lined up in an orderly line waiting to get MOWED DOWN BY LITERALLY ANYONE.
As I pointed out in another thread, they act like intimidation is a shield against harm in exactly the same way that schoolyard bullies do. It relies on people’s tendency to freeze up and panic when surprised by a violent confrontation to work, and if it doesn’t work, things escalate quickly.
The other problem is, those kinds of bullies aren’t normally equipped with firearms…

Incompetence.

The problem for them is they’re in a nation also filled with firearms.
That the bad group owns.
They can be incompetent and afraid for their own safety at the same time. I agree with everything you said though.
