More Disturbing U.S. Military Riot Control Pictures

(a lot more pics at link - keep in mind these photos show training, no actual protestors were harmed.)

It’s not that the U.S. military trains for this, which is necessary and recommendable. It’s not that they seem to enjoy it so much, which is stupidly understandable. It’s that they are often being trained to detain and dispel rioters that are engaging in legally protected activities. Some of the situations in the following photos include environmental protesters holding signs that say “Save the Halibut” and “Stop the Violence”, as well as antiwar protesters holding signs with peace symbols and “No more war” written on them. One set of pictures from a training exercise for the military of Belize shows protesters holding signs that read “Freedom 2 Worship” and “No More Taxes”.

2. And US police forces would also have received this training, since they recruit veterans

3. Actually, US Police were trained by Blackwater, via Homeland Security money.

Well, OUR money, actually.
The police across the country, esp. the big city police, have been militarized, since 2003, deliberately, intentionally, to act as an arm of TPTB.
The line between military people and the civilian police is intentionally being erased.

See?

4. I realize this is "just" training but in regards to having the rifle present:

I don't think there's any reason a US police force should bring loaded weapons into a riot situation unless there is absolutely justifiable reason to pre-emptively bring deadly force into the equation. I saw this in Colorado, I believe, when they broke up the OWS there and it's not only necessary, it attempts to cultivate a situation where massive deaths could result.
