I do not like what is going on here as much as you,i do share rgw ideas with all of you. But in response to the upcoming events on what is to happen. Police seem to be more military. As to see why is what this subject is about, how ever simply put that we not understand the entire situation. The world maybe set up for a disaster to cause the civil all along. Think about it, such radical movements in such short notice.
In my opinion, it happen way to fast, doesn’t mean the government is ready though. In fact they are very afraid, to see this all happen in such notice and response. The government is pushing funding’s into more money and more weapons. We will be at war soon. Fighting for the very freedom we founded upon in the beginning our country. I rather be asked a question about what is to do next rather on how i know. So be blunt if your going to insult me in any manner.
FRiend, I see that you are brand new to Free Republic, and seem a little rusty in your use of the English language.
Might I perhaps assume that English is your second language, or possibly you're still young enough to be learning it for the first time?
The civilian perspective: "But in response to the upcoming events on what is to happen.

If your own local police today seem more military to you, it may be simply because they have been better trained than ever before to respond to levels of violence our country never saw before -- terrorism, gang wars, mental illness and drug related violence, all ratcheting up the daily risks to police officers.
If there's anything sinister, it's what goes on inside the minds of criminals at war with law enforcement.
The civilian perspective: "The world maybe set up for a disaster to cause the civil all along.
Think about it, such radical movements in such short notice."
By "radical movements", are you talking about Islamic terrorists, or just our own home-grown gang-bangers?
Or do you mean political movements like "Occupy Your Street"?
Whichever movement you might mean, not a single one of them is new to the world, or even to the USA.
Islamic terrorists have been around for centuries -- indeed, the very word "assassin" originally meant 8th century "members of the Nizaris, a Muslim group who opposed the Abbasid caliphate with threats of sudden assassination by their secret agents".
And the USA has been battling Muslim terrorists for over 200 years -- since the days of President Jefferson and the Barbary Wars.
If you're talking about today's gang-bangers, perhaps you remember a famous name from 80 years ago -- Al Capone?
In the 1920s and 1930s the country was full of gang-bangers making their livings pretty much the same ways some do today.
If it's Communist-front groups like "Occupy", those have also been around since at least the 1930s, under many different names and with varying degrees of success at infiltrating the levers of government power.
Point is: none of this is brand new, it's all been around more-or-less forever, and we have historically lost some & won some battles with them.
But you are certainly correct in pointing out that we're seeing more of it today than ever before.
The civilian perspective: "The government is pushing funding’s into more money and more weapons.

Don't expect another US Civil War, it won't happen, unless you yourself personally declare war on the United States, in which case you will be individually hunted down and sent to jail.
If you personally get violent, then violence will likely end in your own death, and nobody will mourn or grieve your passing, FRiend, any more than we do those of mass murderers who open fire in schools & movie theaters.
So don't do it.
As for the long-term growth of government, that is an indisputable fact.
For over 100 years now, the US government has steadily, inexorably, grown -- doubling in size, compared to GDP, between 1912 (2.5%) and 1931 (5%), then doubling again by 1940 (10%), and doubling yet again by 1952 (20%) including massive military Cold War spending.
Today's military spending (5%) is only 1/3 the level of 1952 (15%), but non-military spending (from Great Society to Obama-Care) has doubled and doubled again to the point where total government spending today is nearly 40% of GDP -- and still growing.
This at a time when places like Singapore, Hong Kong and China manage with half our tax level, and even Mexico, India and South Korea get by with one third lower tax rates.
Today Russia's taxes are 15% lower than ours!
The US today is rapidly moving into the same category as those European socialist countries, like France, Sweden, Germany and Britain.
And the results here are the same as there: high unemployment and low economic growth rates.
The civilian perspective: "I rather be asked a question about what is to do next rather on how i know.
So be blunt if your going to insult me in any manner."
The reason I asked how nevergore learned it is because what he and now you think you "know" is false and ridiculous.
So it's important to learn where you got these crazy ideas, then maybe I can suggest somewhere to look for something more reasonable.
So I ask yet again: tell us, please, where does it come from?
