MILITARIZATION
OF AMERICAN POLICE DEPARTMENTS"

As a former state police trooper, I can state
emphatically, that I oppose the move away from local
policing to a heavily armed “national” quasi-military
police force policy. You need look no further than New
Orleans after Katrina. You could watch California
Highway Patrol officers and many out of state police
agencies going door to door, disarming innocent
civilians. Police officers were on a mission to
confiscate firearms from people trying to protect
themselves. Observing this was to incite a first class
riot in my home.
It was bad enough to watch these poor, helpless, but
courageous civilians, trying to defend themselves
against criminals who spoke “Ebonics” and Spanish. It
was horrendous to watch the suffering of old men and
women abandoned by families or simply unable to leave
before the storm hit. But it was absolutely
heartbreaking to see beefy, skin-headed officers prying
shotguns out of the hands of men and women whose only
“crime” was that they tried to keep themselves alive
while the “officers” could not be found.
We have become accustomed to standing quietly on the
sidelines while our local police Chiefs and Sheriffs
have accepted huge amounts of federal dollars and
military equipment for their special response units.
They are all under a variety of mission specific names
and classified standing orders. Once they take the cash
however, they are handcuffed to the Feds for whatever
future “mission” they may be assigned. It could come
from some whacked out Special Agent from the ABC Bureau
who dreamed up a little publicity (like Waco) and/or a
“show of force” to keep the natives in line. This is to
soften up the American public in case they held thoughts
of fending for themselves or decisively telling these
servants that they weren’t needed, thank you. But then,
a well armed citizenry doesn’t fit the UN model of a
disarmed nation bowing before the machine-gun toting
black clad soldiers of the Omaha, Atlanta or Dayton
police departments. Let’s see, black uniforms, coal
bucket style helmets, machine-guns at every corner. Hmm,
looks like Berlin in 1942?
The excuse being used for starting, equipping and using
these “teams” is that we are under siege and cannot let
common criminals (99.65% of the unlawful element in
society) take down our cities. Criminals and gangs have
already done that. The only effective deterrent is
citizens carrying concealed weapons with permits.
Statistically 2-5% of crimes in progress never see a
police officer. The beat cop arrives to take a report,
afterwards. The other .35% of the safety and security
issue in the USA is found in terrorist sleeper cells and
devotees of world class Jihad’s. These are thugs truly
worth special response teams from an agency that will
find and destroy these efforts before they trigger the
BIG blast.
I simply do not understand the thinking of upper level
criminal justice system directors who have not recently,
if ever, read their US or state constitution. This is
especially true in regard to the public’s right to
privacy and self-protection. Issues regarding the 2nd
amendment, due process, limited government, and how far
we have strayed from the Founder’s beliefs abound. They
are well known and I will not opine about them here.
Suffice it to say that as a nation, we have stood by
while the police forces of the USA have become a force
that projects intimidation, fear from the community, and
a reputation for excessive force. Regardless of the
needed response, it makes even routine contact with the
public a major ordeal.
Now understand, I have not had my head in my uttermost
parts during the past several years. I know that the
world is a changed and dangerous place. The world has
ALWAYS been a dangerous place. However, I simply do not
believe that even if local terrorism erupted tomorrow,
we would somehow be better off in our wounded cities by
the presence of the Anchorage PD in Detroit. Instead of
hyper-reliance on anything state or fed, we should be
equipping ourselves and our local neighborhoods for
dealing with major security and safety issues on the
model of Switzerland and Israel. Any major event is
going to see an immediate breakdown of law and order.
Officers normally committed to protecting the public,
could be out of action from injury, death or an
overwhelming desire to protect their own families. There
could well be an absence of police leadership at all
levels. If we are anticipating the New Orleans example,
we will see rogue officers make the common criminal seem
like an old lost friend.
My point is this. As a nation, we have lost our way on
many fronts from the wisdom of our Republic builder’s
dreams for a free, independent and courageous American
nation. Most citizens are able to handle most crises
situations fairly well. What ever happened to local
“Peace Officers?” You remember. The cop everyone knew,
liked and respected because of his courage, devotion to
duty and the citizens of his/her community. We are
moving daily toward reviving the demons of the Waffen
SS. This MUST
stop. We have become nursery school children herded
by our “parent” government to rely on
WHATEVER is said by WHOEVER says it, and you WILL obey! Achtung!
In all fairness, and to my many friends in law
enforcement who know what I am saying is accurate, I
appreciate each of you for a job well done. You are not
the problem. You are the solution. Stay true to your
oath.
If many Americans like a militarized police state future
they may well get it. For me, that is not acceptable. I
choose to work toward my destiny and that of a free
America within the constitution, for sure. I prefer an
American future without the unconstitutional agencies,
laws, judge’s rulings, and decrees from many treasonous
bureaucrats. We don’t need threats and intimidation from
goons masquerading as local and state lawmakers or
brain-washed, gun-toting morons like the New Orleans
Chief of Police. He is the one who ordered honest
civilians to surrender their lawful weapons in the face
of gangs, to a living hell on earth. There are many more
like him, waiting to impose police dictatorships, just
because they can.
The time is coming fast, when millions of Americans who
understand what this colossal struggle is all about in
the United States and around the world, have severe
choices that will be required to be made. The UN will
not simply allow the US to continue as a sovereign
nation when the rest of the world is under its
domination. That is not paranoia. That is simply the
deduction one gets from understanding the UN’s published
plans. Your future actions will determine whether you
will go to the re-education camp, or the internment camp
for “troublemakers” (read that constitution supporters).
Did you really believe that those “conservative”
republicans and “little guy” protecting democrats were
going to keep you from harm? Remember this, they are the
ones who allowed this situation to occur and wrote the
laws that permit it to continue unabated with a
vengeance.
It will soon be too late to ever be free again. It will
not be possible for a liberty-minded people to set the
building blocks for a redirected prosperous nation,
under God, and united to stand against the real evil in
the world. The very people we armed and organized into
this “national police force” and relied on to protect
us, have become the new enforcers for an international
banking, business, and centrally controlled world. The
UN just might allow us to live on a few feet granted by
Agenda 21. These agents would be safe to force us into
captivity because of world gun control. You see, gun
control is people control. Just ask Hitler, Stalin, Mao,
Sadaam, or the California Highway Patrol and the other
“good guys” in New Orleans.
