Sorry, your rationality will be overlooked by those seeing conspiracy in a bowl of pea soup.
We saw this same crap in the 1990s with Clinton - Russian tanks moving on flatcars, concentration camps, electric guillotines and Chinese troops massed in Mexico.
If the fat whales in ACORN are king obuma’s “army,” I fear I won’t be sufficiently armed because I don’t have harpoons in my arsenal.
HR675 doesn’t even have any cosponsors!
Actually, you were the one that wove the two together by bringing up cooks, etc. If there is nothing notable, what would be the need for legislation?
This is another reason why BO is anxious to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. They have no allegiance to the U.S., therefore wouldn’t have any problem going after American citizens especially since they would be paid more than they do in their home country by becoming part of BO’s brown shirts.
I hope they wear bright uniforms so we can walk up and say hi.
And you know what they are using for “Miracle Grow”, right???
To me it just kinda sucks that the next worse enemy we have against the citizens of this country is our own government...Second only to islamic extremists...
(For example: unlawful assembly - normally local police should be able to handle this just fine, but the DOD is given power to arrest in this situation).
Any feedback would be great since It's good to read both sides. Thx.
Betin they will prefer to wear SWAT black, gotta impress da hos and bros when they ain’t on da job.
We Rednecks same as those old Minutemen won’t give a hoot if they are in ninja black, British red coats or “seiu blue”, 30:06 all fit the same.
Wow. I really want Eric Holder or his successor deciding what this means.
I’d be happy if somebody just defined “affrays.” If I don’t know what it is, how would I know I’m doing it?
In my reading of the bill, there are no new LEO positions (job descriptions) created by the bill. The bill only authorizes DOD to hire federal investigator positions that already exist.
An example is the authorization for DOD to hire game law enforcement officers. Why would DOD need game law enforcement officers? Probably because in some areas they are having a problem with people coming onto military reservations and poaching.
Who would prosecute such people, state and locals don’t have jurisdiction. Federal game wardens work for either BLM or the USFS and they don’t have jurisdiction on a military base either nor are they present. The military can’t arrest and prosecute civilians as their enforcement authority is limited to those under the UCMJ. I expect presently they have to refer all such cases to the FBI who are probably less than enthusiastic about responding as they have better things to do.
These positions have already been established and classified by the Office of Personnel Management and they operate in just about every federal department. The bill simply authorizes DOD to now hire their own.
No federal agents/investigators have blanket federal authority. Even the FBI which probably has the broadest authority must refer drug cases to the DEA. The DEA must refer currency violations to the Secret Service and so on. Everyone must stay in their lane and big fights accrue when there is even a perception that someone is playing in someone else’s pond.
Thus a DOD investigator would have broad authority on a military base and almost none off base because some other agency would already have it covered.
