Thats why its a very good idea to move Your tanks and artillery to new positions, when the barrels has to cool off.

I expect the vehicle has a “friend”, which can fire back right away, so the targets is not moved – or aircover using missiles. .

Assad must stay

Should not be in syria or iraq

You are a brave man to infiltrate these “professional anarchists”. I see they even brought their freedom hating attack dogs ….. the horror.

It wasn’t a problem during my trip. But that section is unstable. With numerous incidents of rioting and assaults.

I received information that the protest organizers were informed that the National Guard platoons patrolling the area with the police to prevent them from being overwhelmed were issued rules of engagement to use live fire on rioters.

I have the option of carrying and decided against it due to my experience at unarmed reconnaissance.

There’s a mix of curious and rioters. Any time that you get that number of people gathered with a % inclined to conflict. Violence can escalate quickly.

This ambush and shooting occurred there over the weekend. If the driver hadn’t been armed the rioters would have removed him from the vehicle and injured or killed him.

This is a picture that I took there a few nights ago of incendiarys being used at the zone. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2f6b77d4a75ceaa2d30ff2fbd5c842424cca3b6c8df76100375f0e5f49a7b8dc.jpg

“UPDATE 6/12/20 9:35 AM: … an incursion later in the day by Seattle Police resulted in a tussle between a group reported to have been around 30 officers and protest zone demonstrators that resulted in police fleeing after using pepper spray to clear the area. It’s not clear if police were trying to make their way to the precinct or were exiting after already having gone in. There were no reported arrests.”

I wouldn’t put it in the swinging a set of brass balls category, though I have been in those situations.

Part of the problem is that the county prosecutor’s office, like the mayor, state attorney general, and governor, is lead and staffed by 2nd amendment hating strong supporters of sedition and domestic terrorism. The rioters can attack citizens with impunity. And the county prosecutor strongly supports that and refuses to charge them. And instead bends over backwards to fabricate charges against the rioter’s victims.

“We don’t want these people that have chosen not to stand with the people when given the opportunity to remain in our streets, and we don’t want these people that have committed war crimes against us to remain in our streets.”

Anthony explained that if SPD officers try to enter the building, the crowd will form a peaceful picket line.”
