Posse Comitatus anyone?
“Posse Comitatus anyone?”
My first thought.
“”Posse Comitatus anyone?””
I expect this is why the weasel words were added to the story. You couldn’t possibly imagine that they meant really, real, actual, genuine, bona fide military troops certainly!!! The authorities would NEVER do anything that isn’t on the up and up! /s
“”specially trained members of the US military — including bomb squads and trauma medics””
That becamw a moot point the moment your local pd got fully automatic weapons, apcs and attack helicopters.
“Posse Comitatus anyone?”
That complaint is just for Trump when he wants to send troops to the border to protect the nation.
