Why are you people trying to start a war that no one will win?

141. Unlimited manpower?

How many soldiers are there? How many federal agents? How many National Guardsmen? If you include the Reserves, the Military can field 2.2 million including reserves of all branches including the Coast Guard.

Now, to deploy those active duty troops, which includes a lot of support specialties like supply and clerks and cooks and that sort of thing, you would have to declare Martial Law.

So let's look at Federal Agents. In 2004 there were 105,000 Federal Agents authorized to make arrests. Let's go ahead and triple that to just over 300,000 able to make arrests, or roughly speaking .1% of the population. Total law enformement availability is roughly 251 full time officers for each 100,000 people. Read that again if you think that is a lot.

In other words for every 251 cops federal, state, and local, you have 99,749 people. Ok, let's take out those who are in jail, figure we're down to about 99,000.

That means every cop would have to oversee 394 people. 40% of them are going to be Democrats, and about the same will be Republicans. We were talking about the three percent a little while ago weren't we? It looks like the cops and army make up well less than two percent including every clerk, dental technician, and cook.

That is not unlimited manpower. That is very limited manpower. Because to boost strength in one area, you have to move it from others weakening that area. Then you have to supply and care for them, which is where those clerks and cooks will come in right?

In other words, if those lunatics ever do reach their theoretical three percent threshold, they will outnumber the police and military.

But the cops are dedicated and sworn public servents right? In New Orleans during Katrina, that dedicated public service mentality lasted about three days, and then the cops abandoned the city and went off to save themselves. One could assume that they were running low on ammo anyway after shooting looters on sight.

Look at the LAPD during the Dorner manhunt. They stationed officers in front of the families of high ranking brass. Those officers shot a pick up truck with two old women who were delivering papers and were never charged with disturbing the peace. The first act was totally human, protect my family. That was one guy, imagine if it was ten, or worse, a hundred. Then protecting the citizens comes a distant second to protecting ourselves, and our families.
