Magnolia State Ping
Gee, I feel safer already. /sarc
Special Operations Group? Isn’t that the idea behind SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTICS (SWAT)?
So we are turning the police into the military....we just aren’t going to call them that?
Empire building. The more subordinates, the more he can claim he needs more money to fund his operation. Total BS!!!
The current administration may indeed use such a force as intended, against gangs or organized crime. But a future administration may use it against the Tea Party or other political “enemies”.
wow
Mississippi the RINO/GOP-e/BACKSTABBER “State”. The “State” that inflicted THESE POSs on us:

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply as the NatCs...
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

We don’t need anymore SWAT teams in Mississippi and especially one that’s at jim hoods disposal. Let the AG’s rent one from one of the cities, counties or state agencies in the area where it’s “needed”. I don’t trust jim hood at all. Using a SWAT team from another agency would give some responsible oversight to hood. We have too many SWAT teams as it is, cities, counties and state agencies should co-operate and reduce the number of SWAT teams.
“So if you live in Olive Branch or Southaven, you’re covered not only by your town’s own SWAT team, but also the county SWAT team, the state police SWAT team, a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force, a fugitive unit, the state Alcohol Beverage Control SWAT team and federal SWAT teams from the field offices of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (at least — possibly others).”
I fell so safe here in Southaven. All these jack booted thugs
Holy h**l. This is horrifying. What a bunch of insane morons. I see the Police State doesn’t care if the State is Blue or Red.
Let’s see, the GOP controls the governorship and both chambers of the legislature in Mississippi. The party of ‘smaller, less intrusive govt.’ doing what it does so well.
Once once state AG has his own armed force, won’t all the other state AGs have to have their armed forces, too?
None.
Just because it's the law, doesn't make it JUST!
Prohibition MUST END!
If suicidal people want to ingest battery acid and drain cleaner, LET EM! It's not justification to MURDER or ENSLAVE them!
