Yeah! They need to do important stuff!

Like point guns at me while I'm going to the grocery store!

Military doesn't do that, that's for cops after they get out of the military.

Oh, so who was the guy in digital camo standing next to the grey armored vehicle doing that?

Because im pretty sure that wasn't a cop; he looked like he might've actually know how to use his gun.

Edit: did not see crayons, but it was a few hours after lunch and there was a pretty nice art supply store nearby.

Cops have camo and rifles. I genuinely don't think the army has vehicles any color other than green, tan, and woodland camo.

Did it look like this?

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

More sidewalk colored. Different hat? I think?

He's about to get out and become a cop.

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 hours ago

No. Like i said; he was holding his gun properly.

National Guard maybe? Officially they are not military though

[-] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 hours ago

National Guard ARE part of the military, they wear U.S. military uniforms and are deployed to U.S. invaded and occupied countries like Iraq.

Marines have also been deployed

Except when deployed when the police are "overran".
