Ok,,exactly WTF is DHS? If someone says “FBI”,,or “DEA” i know what that means. Is there a such an animal as a “DHS” agent with arrest powers? And who picked that name that sounds right out of the third Reich?
We are becoming a police state.

Department of Homeland Security, and it was created by George W Bush after 911.

With the exception of the TSA, DHS is made up of agencies that used to be in Dept of the Treasury (Customs, Secret Service, the Coast Guard) and Dept of Justice (Border Patrol). It was all reorganized under G.W. Bush Post 9/11.

The Federal Protective Service is responsible for security at federal installations and property. If your town or area has a federal courthouse or office building then it has FPS to act as security guards.

We all should expect by now that there will be plenty of protesters in both Tampa and Charlotte. When the protesters figure out the convention sites are locked down they will move on to other symbols of the government. Only when they are stopped from damaging those do they get around to breaking all the windows at Starbucks and setting Nike Town on fire.

My only question is, since these conventions were announced a while ago, why did it take so long to order gear?

DHS is busy scanning luggage at airports for bootleg music recordings and making promo videos for the city of Houston on how to Duck and Cover when some lone nut terrorist is gunning for you azz.

There is a show where they show cops policing the streets of Las Vegas and arresting people for minor things like selling beer or disrupting traffic and they are DHS police. It is unbelievable. They are probably funded by stimulus money.
