The militarization of US police forces is ongoing and escalating. Many cities and towns now own tanks, armed personnel carriers, even attack helicopters, and almost all are outfitted with military weapons not available to the general public.

Also ignored (as if it didn’t even exist) is the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which generally bars the military from law enforcement activities within the United States.
According to Public Intelligence:
“…for the last two years, the President’s Budget Submissions for the Department of Defense have included purchases of a significant amount of combat equipment, including armored vehicles, helicopters and even artillery, under an obscure section of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the purposes of ‘homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.
and the US government knows that civil uprisings are coming to a town near you just as soon as the fantasy of a healing economy is shattered, the US dollar fails, and unemployment goes to 30%+ in real numbers.
And, to you tough-talking Neo-Cons with your AR-15 rifles and a few thousand rounds of ammo, here is the reality: they will take your guns, and no, all your Second Amendment bluster aside, you are not going to do anything about it.

There are thousands of boomers who feel the same way. *We the People* ...will be make the news.
I am sure when word gets out that they are going house to house there will be that uprising. I just pray that our police, etc, will go tell this president to F()CK himself and the mochelle he rode in on.
Dont forget the plagues and pestilences and earth quakes, if ANYONE survives at all, it will be a miracle, and they will have wished for death many times before the 2520 days are over!

From Ukraine TV it showed lots of uniformed police (or something - army, swat, whatever) up on stage with the protesters. Twitter said police from outside of Kiev had gone into the city to be on the side of the protesters.
You are fixating on the horn. Despite what Freud said, sometimes... A horn is just a horn.

evidently you don’t believe in the rapture. I’m not going to be here myself.
Speaking of history, recall that little episode about a century earlier with Napoleon. As I recall, he made it to Moscow and not much further. Those Russian winters can be hard.

Credited to Leon Trotsky: "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you".
Not quite sure I follow you on this.
Why I would question the military IF Obama ever ordered them to turn on the citizen is look at police forces currently. There are gung-ho young guys who love the power. I think they are a minority.
That is why have always said ... Where Will Our Military Stand? I think our Military faces our Flag.
It comes at Dawn.
Retires at Sunset.

I’ll wear mine, if I have to.... LOL
