    I think there’s a chance they dont pull the trigger when the order comes, or point up the chain of command. Thats kind of the only option for avoiding Really Bad here.

    I dont have enough faith in them to expect any particular outcome here, but it’s in their hands. Kind of holding my breath.

      The order is far from certain to come. It’s not like Trump or his buddies will be anywhere close to the action, and a general order to unnecessarily fire on civilians is not even likely to be passed down.

        The order will be issued from tge top. Its already in the minds of every cop.

        The question is how far down the chain it gets.

        Maybe the general says ‘No.’

        Maybe a captain goes off mission.

        Maybe a bottom level guy pretends his gun is jammed.

        And maybe if they all fail, we go from the bad timeline to the worse one
