Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

As much as it would fuel the FEMA Conspiracy, it seems at this point to be needed.
I'd honestly be surprised if FEMA didn't have an armed paramilitary branch like all the other agencies do.
Just shooting into the sky like Yosemite Sam
You'd figure National Guard is that point but they're too busy blowing up the Middle East to Guard the Nation.
Nah I'm talking wild shit like the Department of Energy's Federal Protective Forces, or United States Postal Service's Postal Inspectors, or the National Institutes of Health's Division of Police.
I looked into it a bit more for background info and I found FEMA's under the the DHS, so whatever squirrelly paramil outfits the DHS runs can be allocated to FEMA I'd presume.
AFAIK the Secret Service was started as the militant anti-counterfeiting wing of the Treasury. Only later on did they get protection details for US politicians and their families.
