    The post civil war occupation of the south.

    It was basically a brief golden age for black leadership in the south because that’s how “not letting anyone fuck around” the union occupation force was with the traitors.

    It was so effective at cock blocking the terrorist little shitbags that the red second they had enough political leverage they had them disbanded and proceeded to immediately kick off the first golden age of the klan.

      But you still think it’s a good idea to use MPs in civilian metropolitan areas?

      I’m not totally against the idea if only because there’s so much more training.

      Like you say, I’d be a little wary of retaliation with even more heavy-handed law enforcement.

        If it’s good enough to keep the racists rightfully terrified for their miserable lives, it’s good enough for the rest of us to have a law enforcement infrastructure that actually protects and serves us.

          It’s at least worth looking into, although at this point I can’t say I trust the civic virtue of the military any more than I trust the civic virtue of the police.
