Armed officers in full battle gear will be scattered throughout the Bay Area this weekend, rescuing hostages, fighting bank robbers and quelling terrorism at the Oakland Airport, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, the NASA Ames Research Center and 22 other high profile sites.

There will be the sound of gunfire and blasts — all part of Urban Shield, one of the biggest domestic terrorism drills in the country. For the first time in the three-year history of the Alameda County Sheriff's Department-sponsored exercise, there will be a foreign team of officers taking part and international observers. An eight-member team representing the French National Police's Research, Assistance, Intervention, and Dissuasion unit will compete.

The exercise is a non-stop, 48-hour

Don't bend over to retrieve your brass, or you'll be wounded in the attempt.

What’s A2?

Probably an ancient writing which opines on the merits of a well-regulated militia.

“I guess that’s one way around that sometimes-inconvenient posse commitatus.”

The article indicates that these “armed officers” are police officers, not soldiers. I didn’t realize that the posse commitatus act applies to police officers too.

[DuncanWaring]

It doesn’t.

If you’re legally prohibited from using your Army for law enforcement, just turn your law-enforcement people into an army.

We train with other nations all the time.

this is typical with empires..they send all of their native born soldiers to fight far off wars and import soldiers from the conquered lands to control the population,,,foreign soldiers won't hesitate to open fire on American civilians...this is classic tyranny.

While they`re at it could they take a walk down Oakland`s East 14th/International Avenue and say Bonjour to all the drug gangs? We really do miss them.
