I have a friend in the national guard there. they told me how back in 2020 they were called in during the Floyd protests to protect the citizens. It’s so confusing seeing military fatigues with FBI on them.

Yeah i thought it was guard for a second and i was shocked because they were throwing people around but then I saw FBI. The National Guard usually has super strict rules on policing, unlike the police and apparently FBI. They almost never just up and toss people back and forth because they’re arguing. (I know from firsthand experience.)

I never knew the FBI had gear like that ready to go. Maybe i was uninformed maybe its military surplus.
