I know someone who purchased this from RAND.
By page 19 this report goes from discussing the need for a Special Police Force overseas to supplement interventions, to suddenly needing a force that can circumvent Posse Comitatus.
Posse Comitatus exists for a reason and any attempt to circumvent it, not matter how nicely packaged, is a step on the way to "Special" police becoming "Secret" police.
They call it :A STABILITY POLICE FORCE: This study asks several questions. First, is a Stability Police Force (SPF) necessary? An SPF is a high-end police force that engages in a range of tasks such as crowd and riot control, special weapons and tactics (SWAT), and investigations of organized criminal groups. In its ability to operate in stability operations, it is similar to such European forces as the Italian Carabinieri and French Gendarmerie. Its focus on highend tasks makes it fundamentally different from UN or other civilian police, who deal with more routine law and order functions. It is also different from most military forces, which are generally not trained and experienced to conduct policing tasks in a civilian environment. Second, if an SPF is necessary, what should it look like? This includes considering such issues as: its objectives, tasks, and size; its speed of deployment; its institutional capabilities; where it should be headquartered in the U.S. government and how it should be staffed (standing force, reserve force, and hybrid force); and its cost.
In this political climate, however, the left will just say it's simply another point of view.
“reconstruction” = “re-education”
While this is a study and scary didn’t I read that obama created a civilian security force housed in the DOD but not one of the armed forces brances so it does not come under posse cimmitatus?
This was a detailed executive order that would have used some DOD people and even retired DOD people.
I swear I read the EO last fall but can’t find it.
Obama has already started this. I will try to find it
does anyone know?
The New Council of Governors will take care of it.
Thanks for bringing us this info. It kind of explains this:

The Stability Police Force and the Council of Governors will help ensure that Obama wins re-election I guess.
WE do not want, need, nor support a national security force under this bastard or any successor to him.
This is treason and planned violence against the American People, the Constitution and our basic freedoms. It violates the established role of local control of police forces by the state and local government.
Who the hell is the Rand Corporation to dictate to American government how to conduct domestic policy? Who are these people anyway? Do they have globalist connections?
Carabinieri INDEED!!!! Perhaps VOPOS or Gestapo is more appropriate.
This should generate a LANDSLIDE of outraged letters from Americans to that Bastard in the Oval Office and each an every one of those craven, pandering, narcissistic, self-serving harlots in Congress.
Don’t think so.
What are rioters going to do when they’re confronted by tanks, IFVs, and and helicopter gunships manned by folks perfectly willing to kill them?
This is armed conflict, civil war level stuff and they know it.
Just who is allied here to be pushing this at this particular time?
Merkwürdigliebe lives!
That means rounding up the leaders of the opposition BEFORE the fighting breaks out. This is to help make sure that the opposition is as disorganized and leaderless as possible. It might also mean shutting down radio, phone and internet access to the area.
Of course the government would be the one instigating such a conflict in this case, blaming it on the radical right no doubt.
The Rand Corporation, the boon of the world
They think all day long for a fee.
They sit and play games about going up in flames,
For counters they use you and me.
I have no doubt this is already being implemented.
The uniforms might as well have big ole cartoon targets on their bscks. In today’s political climate, I truly believe that this would cause real blood shed in the streets, and any open member of this type of force would become fair game to a large portion of American patriots.
I am condoning this, although I do not relish the thought of it happening.
The “elites” need to understand that this isn’t going to help them. We are a nation of 300 million. The people in the government can be changed, the government itself can be changed, but those 300 million people aren’t going anywhere.
What would a small riot police force do if 300 million people calmly and rationally decided we wanted to change leadership and ignored our current leaders in favor of a new government?
utopian
We are not a group of 300 million. We are split up in many groups with many competing interests. If the government only permits 20 or 30% to receive adequate food heat shelter, then you have a tyranny. And it would be easy for the government to deprive us.
Civil War II Ping.
A national police force to meet our internal security needs, with funding and equipment equal or better than the US Army? Has a familiar ring to it yes it does.
And in the Edward M Kennedy Memorial Bill passed last July, there are to be training camps to be set up around the USA for training yoot 18-26 to do “community work”.
Something is coming, what can it be?
Interesting. I knew someone who worked at rand during the 80’s TOp secret clearance. Wordprocessed or something like that. Said that all the papers she was involved with were about how to torture.
Left wingers are from the devil.
Many of us are not eligible to join Oathkeepers, which is for active and retired military and police.
It's a good suggestion for those who are, but probably ignores 2/3 of the people on Free Republic and 7/8 of the total citizenry.
