After Wikipedia: On March 5, 1770, British soldiers shot and killed several people while being harassed by a mob in Boston. British troops had been stationed in the Province to support crown-appointed officials and to enforce unpopular Parliamentary legislation. Amid tense relations between the civilians and the soldiers, a mob formed around a British sentry and verbally abused him. He was eventually supported by seven additional soldiers, led by Captain Thomas Preston, who were hit by clubs, stones, and snowballs. Eventually, one soldier fired, prompting the others to fire without an order by Preston. The gunfire instantly killed three people and wounded eight others, two of whom later died of their wounds.

How long will we wait in hope that the nameless, faceless, badgeless (police?, soldiers, ...?) now being deployed in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere by the Trump administration as a show of force against our own people will not ultimately act the same way? What infantry captain or local Führer will order his troops to fire on their fellow citizens? Will they obey him or the law and their conscience? What will we do then?

Perhaps someone will inform us of the moral difference between the images below.
