Why are no governmental organizations in this list? According to this news article https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-race-protests-agents/us-homeland-security-confirms-three-units-sent-paramilitary-officers-to-portland-idUSKCN24M2RL , and the Wikipedia Article Paramilitary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitary , and this news article https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/07/22/opinion/are-we-watching-whats-going-portland-ore/, there are many organizations which should be added here. :

U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection "Border Patrol Tactical Unit"

US Marshals Service

Federal Protective Service
Oregon Sheriff's Department SWAT team (used as photo example in article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitary )

Per careful reading of the definition of paramilitary, I have added the category to the above named organizations, except for "Oregon Sheriff's Department SWAT team"
