OCP will be taking the whole city of Detroit private any day now. Maybe it’s not such a bad idea.
The great irony in this is the possibility that these are the very same people that made such about what Blackwater did in Iraq, and now they want them to police their own citizenry.
Come to think of it, not a bad idea. If a number of large cities outsourced their policing duties to a private firm things might be much better. Private security officers could focus on actually fighting crime rather than enhancing municipal revenue with speed traps, DUI road blocks, McGruff the Crime Dog, and D.A.R.E. programs.
I’ll bet Blackwater would bid on it.
I suspect you’re going to see contracts with the NOI (Nation of Islam), which hires out its goon squads to rappers and thugs worldwide. I swear that Bambi himself had some NOI “security” at some of his appearances, or at any rate, they certainly did not look like Secret Service.
For anyone who is interested...

Thats a fantastic whistle blowing blog by and for Chicago cops. Read through it...it reads like the script of Robocop. You get the real story from them. Surprisingly enough, they are NOT Obama fans.
RoboCop in real life.
Say now. Haven’t we seen this before—a civilian police force? Got recognized and decided to increase their own powers? Used the name Schutzstaffel. Were better known by their initials, SS. By the way, Schutzstaffel means, according to one source, Guardian Angel.
The police will do the bidding of the creditors, not the people.
Bribes just got cheaper Vito nods.
From the article:
“No traffic violations such as moving violations – such as moving violations. Small things – illegally parked, blocking the parking,” said Ald. Anthony Beale (9th).”
From the article:
“That wasn’t exactly what Mayor Daley thought when he was asked about it on Saturday. He said the security force would have the power to enforce “moving violations and citations including loitering, littering and graffiti.”
