    Oh, so who was the guy in digital camo standing next to the grey armored vehicle doing that?

    Because im pretty sure that wasn’t a cop; he looked like he might’ve actually know how to use his gun.

    Edit: did not see crayons, but it was a few hours after lunch and there was a pretty nice art supply store nearby.

      Cops have camo and rifles. I genuinely don’t think the army has vehicles any color other than green, tan, and woodland camo.

      Did it look like this?

            Nope. Wasn’t that.

            Im aware of what a cop looks like. I have been outside.

            At this point we have a rough time and im not going to identify vehicles for location. Not gonna dox myself harder than i already have.

        National Guard ARE part of the military, they wear U.S. military uniforms and are deployed to U.S. invaded and occupied countries like Iraq.

          They are officially civilians, no? I know they can be called up into active service but outside of that…
