Re "The longer this goes on, the more a militia will be necessary. This could be the start of that type of militia."
Hopefully, though, just the identifiable presence of our militia at demonstrations would be enough to prevent police brutality in 9 cases out of 10, or even 10 cases out of 10. They wouldn't even have to be armed. The knowledge that the members of our militia are veterans of the U.S. armed forces and on the side of #OWS should be enough to make anyone planning a major act of intimidation like Chicago 1968 or RNC 2008 think twice about it.
