Thus Spake mfn8j@watt.seas.Virginia.EDU (Maximillian Natzet):


%Yes, I would expect that most of the police would resist the
%invaders, but they would cease to be police at that point.  I'm
%speaking about legal niceties here, but once a civil
%administration admits to being occupied (ie surrenders) it is
%expected to cooperate - that is the point of surrendering.

This is a little bit of a stretch, but yes, a police officer who engages in
resistance activity ceases to be an officer of a peace, and becomes a resistance
member.  Those two are mutually exlusive.

%plants, etc.  The police fall into the same category as other
%local civil servants.

Although hopefully better armed (and please, let them have the brains to burn or
erase any information on local registered firearms.)
