Will have to be a very large force to be able to handle 150+ million well armed patriotic civilians. That’s what nobama didn’t count on.
By this I'm assuming Zer0 was thinking that ACORN employees will be DoD employees...

This is where it begins. There is no way the planned, un-Constitutional social and economic coercions of the left can be enforced without a political police, a terror, or both.
Here is the seed.
Our most exalted leader gloats about his admiration of Chairman MAO. Perhaps Zero has forgotten a passage in the little RED BOOK, quotations from chairman MAO.
“Don’t spit in the soup, we all have to eat”
Not only have Zero and his minions spat in the soup, they have also defecated in it then wiped thier behinds and thrown the toilet paper in as well.
For them Rev. Wright’s prophesy “ the chickens are comming home to roost” is just around the corner.
But where are we really going?
Here:
Need FReepers to be diligent in detecting training, movements and large groups of people involved in this sort of organization but I was saying this since the first day he mentioned “Civilian Security Force”. I always carry camera, camcorder and er...yes, that too.
It doesn’t take long, figure the average military boot camp/basic training is almost three months (not counting advanced training and/or equivalent). However, goons may take less time...
ACORN with M-16’s
Redneck (no offense meant to those who are or aren’t, as I am one of them, and yes I know we don’t have the whole politically correct thing around here), but the Redneck Political model is alive and well.
IE: No politician can counter an armed bunch of rednecks that see their fellow countrymen being abused by elitists.
That means you are a terrorist.
I am READY.

A BILL
To amend title 10, United States Code, to provide police officers, criminal investigators, and game law enforcement officers of the Department of Defense with authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR POLICE OFFICERS, CRIMINAL INVESTIGATORS, AND GAME LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO EXECUTE WARRANTS, MAKE ARRESTS, AND CARRY FIREARMS.
(a) Authority- Chapter 81 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section:
`Sec. 1585b. Law enforcement officers of the Department of Defense: authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms
`(a) Authority- The Secretary of Defense may authorize any law enforcement officer of the Department of Defense--
`(1) to execute and serve any warrant or other process issued under the authority of the United States;
`(2) to make arrests without a warrant--
`(A) for any offense against the United States committed in the presence of that officer; and
`(B) for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if the officer has probable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing the felony; and
`(3) to carry firearms.
`(b) Persons To Have Authority- Subsection (a) applies to any law enforcement officer of the Department of Defense whose duties include--
`(1) enforcing laws enacted for the protection of persons and property;
`(2) preventing breaches of the peace and suppressing affrays or unlawful assemblies;
`(3) conducting, supervising, or coordinating investigations of criminal activity in programs and operations of the Department of Defense; or
`(4) enforcing any rules or regulations with respect to Department of Defense property prescribed by duly authorized officials.
`(c) Guidelines on Exercise of Authority- The authority provided under subsection (a) shall be exercised in accordance with guidelines issued by the Secretary of Defense and approved by the Attorney General.
`(d) Definition of Law Enforcement Officer of the Department of Defense- In this section, the term `law enforcement officer of the Department of Defense' means a civilian employee of the Department of Defense who is any of the following:
`(1) A Federal police officer or detective as classified by the Office of Personnel Management Occupational Series 0083 (or any successor to that series).
`(2) A game law enforcement officer or special agent as classified by the Office of Personnel Management Occupational Series 1812 (or any successor to that series).
`(3) A criminal investigator as classified by the Office of Personnel Management Occupational Series 1811 (or any successor to that series) and not employed as a special agent of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (or any successor to that service).'.
(b) Clerical Amendment- The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter is amended by adding at the end the following new item:
`1585b. Law enforcement officers of the Department of Defense: authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms.'.
These are sworn federal civilian law enforcement officers just like DEA, FBI, BATF the Border Patrol and the NCIS. “Civilian” only indicates that they are not members of the military and subject to the UCMJ as would be the case of a military MP.
These are federal investigators subject all the same constitutional restrictions as any other federal agent.
As far as the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce we have tens of thousands of US citizens all over the world some employees and many contractors every thing from aircraft mechanics to cooks. There is nothing sinister in that.
Lets focus on real issues like health care and cap and tax and not be distracted by this silly stuff.
Well, it is all part of a bigger scheme. Obama and the left bombards the citizens with all this at the same time to overwhelem everyone in hopes that we will get tired of fighting and roll over.
We can and must fight on all fronts. This is no little issue with this goverment. Everything they are trying to do will make the USA into some communist country.
Like GHWB said” We will not tired”
Ours is a noble fight.
Us Adirondack hillbillies already dealt with those revenooers here 80 years ago with our 30-30`s; c`mon- here`s bite of a Copperhead in your eye
OK, What the hell are they needed for?
What do we need cooks involved in this for?
1) to execute and serve any warrant or other process issued under the authority of the United States; `(2) to make arrests without a warrant-- `(A) for any offense against the United States committed in the presence of that officer; and `(B) for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if the officer has probable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing the felony; and `(3) to carry firearms. `(b) Persons To Have Authority- Subsection (a) applies to any law enforcement officer of the Department of Defense whose duties include-- `(1) enforcing laws enacted for the protection of persons and property; `(2) preventing breaches of the peace and suppressing affrays or unlawful assemblies; `(3) conducting, supervising, or coordinating investigations of criminal activity in programs and operations of the Department of Defense; or `(4) enforcing any rules or regulations with respect to Department of Defense property prescribed by duly authorized officials.
There is nothing notable in the list of authorities that any federal investigator does not already have.
The DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce is a completely different program and gives no law enforcement authority to anyone such as cooks. As I said DOD is the largest employer of civilians in the federal government and with our never ending overseas adventures they are deployed all over the world.
By weaving the two together the author is attempting to create the appearance of some sinister plot to grant LEO powers to some civilian DOD workforce. It simply would not be legal or remotely constitutional.
I am not defending the administration but this line of attack makes FR look silly. There are plenty of real sinister plots they are working on like taking total control of the economy. IMHO these distractions are not helpful.
