============================================================
I have had to deal with the army and marine corp in my own past, it resulted in me being sent to a detention center and being held without charges for five days.
"While protesters listened to music, planned their actions or slept, the authorities quickly moved 10,000 Federal troops to various locations in the D.C. area, including 4,000 paratroopers from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. At one point, so many soldiers and marines were being moved into the area from bases along the East Coast that troop transports were landing at the rate of one every three minutes at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, about 15 miles from the White House."
"Every bridge coming into the city was lined with troops. Every monument, park and traffic circle had troops protecting its perimeters. Paratroopers and marines made helicopter combat assaults onto the grounds of the Washington Monument. Hundreds of troops were brought into the city by helicopter to support the police."
When was that?
When did this happen, and what were the circumstances?
Washington, DC is NOT a state, it is federal property, and thus Posse Comatius (SP) doesn’t apply there.
When did the events you describe occur?
FYI Washington D.C. is a military district.
