but they didn't pull any of that stuff out when there were big demos here over the Boyd murder and 25 others that were highly questionable.

They showed a fair amount of restraint. So we don't know what kind of toys they have.

Since the airport shares the runway with an air base, it's guarded by National Guard guys with auto weapons. Other than that, the cops have done what cops in other towns have done, substituted guns for talking people down.

A dozen or two pistols, a lot of rifles, one 'riot type shotgun', a bomb disposal kit, and three 'utility trucks', one around 25k, two around 50k. Our sheriff is rabidly anti-immigrant, but apparently not too worried about riots.
