Ping for your lists.
Arm the Border Patrol like a military.
Why? They are not allowed to do anything except baby sit.
My first thoughts exactly. Para-military tactics are used against US citizens but not ILLEGAL invaders. Hussein Obama should be impeached on that issue alone.
And declare a free-fire zone along the border. There. Fixed.
Well said.
When a nation fights a series of long, low-intensity wars, soldiers act like cops, and finally cops act like soldiers.
The part I don’t understand:
Axiomatic to fighting an insurgency is need to cultivate and retain the trust of the populace, so WHY do so many PD’s appear hell-bent on BANISHING trust..?
The idea is that the populace supplies INTEL regarding the enemy.
The fact that cops are so complacent about public trust indicates to me that they have some very reliable ALTERNATE source of intel regarding the communities they police.
I WONDER WHAT THAT SOURCE IS, RIGHT...?
There’s so much free stuff available, counties of well under 100K population have multiple Humvees, MRAPs, helicopters, etc. I told a deputy recently they should keep an eye out for a Stryker and he said that would be a good addition to the fleet.
”Progressive police chiefs in Madison, Wisconsin, and Salt Lake City, Utah, for example…"

Amazing article in this day and age, thanks for posting.
You want to look around the world and see what a country really stands for, and what the word “civilization” really means? You need only look at one thing: the relationship of its police to its people.
That tells you at a glance everything you need to know.
People take cops for granted. But I submit that one of the highest achievements of Western civilization is the modern police force that is specifically and by intent NOT a standing army.
THAT is more precious than gold.
These types of operations are probably attracting individuals hungry for action.
And what did American's watch for nearly 10 years on the news every night?
US soldiers walking down dusty alleys kicking in doors and raiding homes...Over and over and over for about 10 years....Endless SWAT style raids...A SWAT war...
The entire time it appeared as one big giant police action...Like no war I've ever seen or read about...
Hmm, wonder why the FG would want to be encouraging the militarisation of the police? Combined with all the ammo they’re buying, and the Pentagons training actively for putting down nationwide civil disorder, I have wonder it is exactly they are expecting and preparing for?
“Paramilitary tactics are used against US citizens but not ILLEGAL invaders.”
Before this, they wouldn’t enforce laws with our native-born ghetto inhabitants either. I can’t take anyone seriously when talking about gun control unless they concede that the cities have to be subjected to search-and-destroy missions along the lines of the war in Vietnam. Disarming the “strategic hamlets” of (generally) law-abiding Americans while letting Charlie roam unmolested makes no sense.
Premier Ubama doesn’t need any police. Police protect the peasants. The more peasants who die, the better. Ubama needs a civilian army to help the process along.
