The union representing Minneapolis Police Officers has long felt that the democratically elected mayor, Jacob Frey, should not be the boss of them. Across the country, armed insurgent demonstrators have expressed similar feelings about their governors: In Michigan, a gang with assault weapons drove the state senators to abandon the capitol. Turns out, in uniform or out, white men with guns can pose a real problem for old-fashioned representative government. In attitudes and political loyalties, a scary number of the people professing to defend the government look more like the problem than the solution. |

"In attitudes and political loyalties, a scary number of the people professing to defend the government look more like the problem than the solution."
Weyulp, the premise is a false start, hence the rest is, perforce, BS.
It is their duty to defend the constitutions of both the nation and their states, and all laws made in pursuance thereof, NOT to 'defend the government.'
Herein, WaPo's anti-American, anti-constitutional, collectivist authoritarian bent is exposed for all to see.
Apparently those too-clever-by-half are obviously not quite clever enough to have recognized the blatant faux pas.

| These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of men and women. — Thomas Paine, The Crisis, Intro. (Dec. 1776). |
