How do you feel about sending troops in to kill men, women and children, all US citizens?
Oh ooops, that was a demonrat president so it is okay.
The idea of sending troops to arrest people within in the US makes me really uncomfortable. That’s the job of the FBI. Imagine if he had sent this precedent, and then it became okay for Obama to do this with “right-wing extremists.”
“Obama to do this with “right-wing extremists.”
Give it time....he’ll do it.
Plus the FBI doesn't have that many people. They often have to rely on cooperation with local law enforcement agencies.
Obama doesn’t need precedent to take action against his enemies.
To date no charges have been brought against the mayor, the police chief, the General in charge of the troops, or anyone who participated in the crimes.
Any call from Obama for the military to deploy for domestic “use” will not be heeded. I’ll wager that the uniformed senior military leadership will regard it as an unlawful order.
Read about the "Whiskey Rebellion". Goe. W. participated as CIC.

Actually it's not. It's the job of state and local civilian law enforcement agents, under the command of County Sheriffs. I believe they may ask for the assistance of federal agents if needed.
Oh, you mean like Janet Reno and Waco?
Didn’t they ALREADY do this, under Clinton, at Waco? Soldiers, tanks, attack helicopters, strafing machine guns, etc. Of course there, the flamethrowers incinerated the remaining evidence.
Plus, let’s not forget that at Ruby Ridge, under Bush 1, they mobilized armored troop carriers, machine guns, and had F-16’s buzzing the house where Randy Weaver lived with his kids and wife - till the sniper killed her, of course.
