(16,616 posts)who have analyzed the abduction videos are saying these people are fit, well equipped and extremely well trained. They are so casual about what the are doing, like they've done this for years, hundreds and hundreds of times. They have no fear and they do not hesitate. They are not Proud Boys or some weekend militia. My former yard maintenance guy is a volunteer police officer in my city: he weighs three hundred pounds and is five foot six.
I'm going with their opinions that these people are the SWAT equivalent of US Marshals and Border Patrol (or something related to these). But I also think we should look at Erik Prince's operation.

(16,254 posts)The really scary thing is what would happen if the white supremacists, child traffickers, etc., grabbed someone off the street and took them to an unknown location? Who's going to stop them?
We have a long way to go before we get this country back to normal.

(82,849 posts)We don't even know what government agency they might be with. The Naval Academy graduate they swung batons on wasn't very impressed with their technique. So they could very well be cosplay civilians getting to act out their toughguy fantasies on the crunchy granola soft hippies they think inhabit Portland.

(3,985 posts)This is my concern. Some were hired & operated under private contracts after Katrina.
