Marine Corps creates law enforcement battalions

The Marine Corps has created its first law enforcement battalions - a lean, specialized force of military police officers that it hopes can quickly deploy worldwide to help investigate crimes from terrorism to drug trafficking and train fledgling security forces in allied nations.

The Corps activated three such battalions last month. Each is made up of roughly 500 military police officers and dozens of dogs. The Marine Corps has had police battalions off and on since World War II but they were primarily focused on providing security, such as accompanying fuel convoys or guarding generals on visits to dangerous areas, said Maj. Jan Durham, commander of the 1st Law Enforcement Battalion at Camp Pendleton.

...

The battalions will be capable of helping control civil disturbances, handling detainees, carrying out forensic work, and using biometrics to identify suspects. Durham said they could assist local authorities in allied countries in securing crime scenes and building cases so criminals end up behind bars and not back out on the streets because of mistakes.

I see the Associated Press piece (posted above) as a public affairs error or deliberate attempt to foment trouble, BTW. So many articles like that now. I also doubt that the Marines are up to anything sinister. [Prior service myself.]

It is a disinformation scenario that is being played. It is done to keep people up in arms against each other. It is a nasty trick that is being played on the sheeple. Just like “Hope and Change”.

If he was a active duty US Marine, he could be from Mars, he is still bound to obey any laws that any other Marine has to abide by.

Let me guess where this could be going under Obama. Our Marines can't and won't kill a Taliban without the permission of a JAG written letter translating the current ROE’s and given a verbal pass to proceed from their openly homosexual CO, but they would be allowed to shoot and kill any suspect American on the spot should they defy Der Fuhrer.

>>I personally don’t give a shit, as long as they sign off on our guys killing the enemy as a matter of warfare and they stand up against the the president, the congress, the UN, the NWO, the LMNOP, and whatever other alphabet soup agency may want to sissify us with.

My point was that, depending on the ethnic and sexual inclination makeup of the force, it might be more willing to turn its guns on Americans, who the members view as oppressing their particular special interest group.

This article (Marine Battalions) is the implementation phase of Obama’s civilian army.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
