Picture with article; Picture with article;There’s very little that your typical donut eater likes more than getting dressed up in his attack suit and pretending he’s a Navy SEAL.
Unfortunately, this is a phenomenon that is nothing new, and has been seen growing by leaps and bounds nation-wide.
From the article:
But the focus on the DoD regulatory change obscures the creeping militarization that has already occurred in police departments across the nation. Even prior to the NDAA lawsuit, journalist Chris Hedges was critical of domestic law enforcement agencies saying, “The widening use of militarized police units effectively nullifies the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.”
This de facto nullification isn’t lost on the DoD.
This is unconstitutional.
There is a process set up so that if a president is incapacitated, his successor is pre-determined.
This is an end run on the powers assigned to the Executive Branch of our government.
The military should NEVER take control on it’s own. It must remain at the direction of the existing POTUS.
“Towns don’t need tanks.”
And LEOs need to remember that they too are civilians.
So Monday was the declaration of Martial Law all across the United States?
Seems to be indirect conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878
Uhmmmmmm .... K...
Not gonna happen as alluded to by the author. That would required an extraordinary command structure and mindset that doesn’t exist and would make whatever problems that left these commanders feeling enabled with a bigger set if problems.
Besides, in all instances nationwide the police and military are severely outnumbered and they couldn’t possibly field the resources necessary topprevail and the consequences for them would be to severe.
No, if it did happen it would be in very limited areas that probably would require their protection such as DC and military sites.
The article that you posted was linked in the first paragraph.
