    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.
