Does the Rand Corporation want to make sure more Americans own personal firearms? :)
“First, is a Stability Police Force (SPF) necessary?”
Well hell yes, when the great zero declares martial law to retain power.
NO NO NO and HELL NO
Unless Sarah Palin becomes President (that ought to shut up the libs who think this is kewl)
Rand Corp, Brookings Inst = commie, pinko “think tanks”
Oh goody, and American gendarmerie. Uh, no thanks.
1) INTERPOL can operate in the US and is not bound by the US Constitution.
2) Obama signed an executive order establishing a Council of Governors with scary powers.

3) We’re moving toward a national police force.
Put it all together — the Clampdown’s coming this year.

Police Worry that Budget Cuts Will Hinder Their Ability to Fight Back
In every recession since the 1950s, crime as gone hand and hand with the economic decline (source: news.yahoo.com). Now amidst budget cuts for many police departments across the country police agencies say that crime is once again raising as the economy falls and their ability to fight back may be hindered.
With a bad economy come lost jobs, lost savings and lost pride. People grow increasingly desperate and many times will turn to crime to try to make ends meet. But along with that comes the career criminals who can now, thanks to budget cuts, commit crimes at a more successful rate as police departments are literally "hand cuffed" when it comes to mounting an offensive or a defensive.
With a usual budget, police departments are able to focus overtime hours and special task forces to concentrate on high crime areas. Now that many police departments across America are being forced to cut back, a great deal of special programs aimed at combating these high crime areas will have to suffer (source: news.yahoo.com).
How bad is it?
Of 233 police agencies surveyed by Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) 63 percent of the departments were planning budget cuts for the next fiscal year. PERF said on average these agencies planned on cutting their budgets by about 6.24 percent and many of the agencies have already preformed cuts recently. On the flip side a staggering 44 percent of the agencies surveyed said they had seen an increase in crime (source: news.yahoo.com).
The overall budget cuts really speak to how bad the economy is getting as police funding is generally the last thing to suffer. Local agencies and governments are usually reluctant to cut funds because public safety is usual viewed as a top priority (source; News.yahoo.com).
The PERF report showed exactly where the increase in crime was coming from as well. Of the 100 agencies that linked crime increasing to the economic crisis, 39 percent said they had seen an increase in robberies, 32 percent a rise in burglaries and 40 percent an increase in thefts from vehicles (source: news.yahoo.com). But a solution does not seem forthcoming."
This article was written a year ago. We now have the perfect storm to set up the "National Police Force".

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?
DUM DE DUM DUM
DUM DE DUM DUM
DUM DE DUM DUM DUM!

It’s almost inevitable.
Its ostensible purpose is law enforcement. It’s anti-crime. Most people are now too stupid to grasp what’s wrong with it and how it violates the spirit of America. And it’ll require a lot of taxes to fund. Finally something really big, expensive and wrong that R’s and D’s can agree on.
Rand Corp = Global socialism for many years now.
