Been a lot of discussion about whether civilians would resist goverent gun grabs and whether LEO and military would obey orders or follow the Constitution. Lot of emphasis on the futility of civilians attempting to resist the might of the military and militarized LEO.
Apparently Los Angeles is testing some of these theories.

Specifically one disgruntled ex-LEO, a trained sniper, has tied up the entire area. A partial quote:
"Los Angeles is under a state of siege but it may end soon. We are learning on a very small scale and over a brief period of time something of what the people of Iraq learned during the US occupation. The LA Police are under threat from a terrorist – a former LAPD officer with a grievance – who has already killed the daughter of one former LAPD captain and her fiancé, and has shot three other police officers. He has fired at others. He is a trained sniper."
