When 200 armed officers come up against 200,000 armed Patriots who do you think is going to win that battle?
There are 800,000 law enforcement officers in the US. There are 1.8 million military in total. There are over 240 million armed citizens. More than half of LEOs and Military would not take illegal orders and raise arms against American citizens.
So the response to your question is to tell your BIL the numbers do NOT support the argument. If a war broke out between LEOs/MIL and citizens they would be outnumbered more than 10:1.
Mow down a bunch of innocent civilians and you would be amazed how fast they can organize. Just ask any Vet of the ME excursions and they will tell you how fast it can happen.

"Quantity has a quality all it's own."
OK, but how long would it take you to get those 200,000 people together? Those 200 armed officers could be round this afternoon.
