Keep an eye on the situation in Brazil folks.
The elite BOPE exists for a reason.
Brazil has been on the cutting edge of urban combat due to the nature of its society, social issues and drugs.
No go areas for "normal" police has long been a thing. BOPE was created to go where the police couldn't and should be considered almost Special Ops in training (with MUCH MUCH MUCH more trigger time than any SWAT team in the US...they bang against narco-gangs on a daily basis and the narcos bang back).
But I went off on a tangent.
My fear is that we'll see this heading here soon. More and more groups are getting/attempting to get military style training.
More and more city govts are putting in place policies that either tie the hands of police, give criminals pathetically lax sentences or both.
Its only a matter of time till the Los Angeles shootout become the norm.
I believe major urban areas in the US are gonna start looking more like the ones in Brazil rather than what we see in Japan or S. Korea.
Oh and if you get a chance follow GreymanBrief...It might not be for everyone but I enjoy the stuff he puts up.
