As crazy as this sounds, I don’t feel safe with the government being in charge of my safety.
Just a hunch. Don’t mind me.
And recruits for this force will be carefully screened and psychologically profiled. Any applicants who may have qualms about obeying orders or firing upon who they're told to fire upon will not be hired.
This is the "Standing Army" that the founders warned us about, an army not for use against external threats, but for use against our own citizens as the means by which the federal government enforces its will.
” I don’t care how well armored your vehicle is... You need to get out of it at some point.”
Good point.
” “Special Response Teams.” That seems to be the new Fedspeak for this program.
Special Response to whom? “
Not to illegal immigrants, that’s for sure. That leaves ?

I don’t think we should be aiming at their army, the LEO who is all geared up as a soldier. I think we should be aiming at their supervisors, their superiors, the man or woman who gave the orders to send these troopers out against the people. The man or woman wearing the best of business suits, the man or woman riding in the rear of the government vehicle that is driven by a state trooper.
Mr. or Mrs. Bureaucrat,
Use Caution:
If you issue orders to lock up groups of American citizens, you will, in effect be signing you own death warrant. You will become the target of every American deer and duck hunter. If you warrant the protection of a company of men, then your relatives will become the targets.
We won’t give you reason to use the recently purchased 1.2 billion rounds of ammunition to kill American citizens. You can be confident that we too have already stockpiled enough ammunition to defend ourselves, our families and our Country. I don’t expect that we will need to kill more than 100 of you contemptible, highfaluting political mongers before the others see and correct the error of their ways.
Step wisely and step lightly when it comes to trampling on the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of these United States.
I don’t want to take DHS’s side, and we all see the nefarious purposes of such vehicles. They should have the posse comitatus act shoved down their throats.
But, what if DHS has decided that they are going to be unable to protect America’s cities to the extent that massive upheaval, in the face of forced mass evacuations are necessary? Let’s face it, we are grossly unprepared to have a dozen of our cities “dirty nuked” simultaneously. What if Iran, or some other terrorist entity came through Mexico with dozens of dirty radiological devices, and detonated several devices in a dozen of our largest cities? The resulting casualties from just the panic to get out would be massive. Of course the economic costs would devastate our already sick economy. I don’t have a good feeling about a civilian agency having such weaponry, but does it really matter, if they are already planning to violate the posse comitatus act, openly? I am not sure of the armour on these MRAP’s, but armor does provide some level of protection against radiation, especially the kind you would expect from a dirty nuke attack.
Makes me wish I had a M5 Stuart or better, a Sherman Jumbo parked in my driveway. B-P
“Every can has its opener...”
Indeed...it’s called “thermite.”
Living near a military base, I don’t pay too much attention to the unit designations on the armored vehicles I see running around. I guess I ought to start looking a little closer.
A John Deere 544K loader could flip one of those APV’s like a turtle. Very common piece of construction equipment.

I prefer to think of a media, unused to the requirements of living under constant threat.
Since we know the feds are not interested in securing the border, and don’t mind 12 million illegals already in the US, and aren’t interested in stopping the vandalism and violence of the OWS types, and don’t seem to mind when Holder’s people destroy neighborhoods and flash mob businesses ... exactly who is left to be the targets of 1.4 billion rounds of ammo and urban assault vehicles?
Go look in the mirror. The get ready for it, because it is coming.
It seems to fit this thread, too.
It is seriously starting to look that way. When did my country morph into Communist East Germany ?
The article spelled it out clearly. The DHS is expecting “push back”......push back from who the hell whom?
They have these to suppress and oppress citizens, period.
If I saw one in my neighborhood, I’d sure as hell not think of them as friends. Enemies morelike it.
Special Response Teams haven’t we heard that before ? Can you say Einsatzkommando boys & girls? Sure you can if you try.
With heavy duty truck transmissions & turbo supercharged diesel engines can do better than 70mph on paved roads.
I agree.
If Obama wins, its the end of this Republic it looks like
