Police and Military in America

Posse Comitatus may or may not be suspended, but it's at least a part of the reason for all of

these SWAT teams: Americans respond poorly to being ordered about like slaves, and even

those who are otherwise most ignorant of the law know that the military is NOT supposedto perform police work or anything of the sort within the U.S. So what did they do? Well,

police are perfectly legal - so the White House had the Pentagon militarize the police via

the back door of sending them military grade equipment for the SWAT teams and made

them the thing for your regular police to want to do. I mean, look at them: cool, evil-looking black uniforms and armor, extra time to work out and get paid for it, extra training

(military brainwashing if they only knew it), and all of those wonderfulmilitary toys! Cops

love guns! They're almost all of them gun nuts, and suddenly they get all sorts of military-grade weaponry! And now there's all that great Star Wars stuff like a sound cannon, a

microwave "ray gun" that theysay causes no damage. Really? I'll never believe it, any

more than I do the notion that the sound cannon is harmless - it breaks eardrums, and mayaffect weak vasculature in the brain (cause strokes) - or that Tasers are "non-lethal' - they're

less lethal than a gun, until they're misused by hitting someone in the head with one ortasing someone twenty times when they're already injured or old or have heart problems, or

when they're used on children and infants.

Cops have one set of priorities that include protecting citizens even at the risk of their own

safety. The military has an entirely different set of priorities . They kill for one thing.Cops can kill, but that is the very last resort; for the military it's thefirstpriority. They

protect each other and themselves.Notthe ones they are sent after. Those are The Enemy.

Cops already have a disdain for criminals. Add the military conditioning and criminals,who now stand in the place of The Enemy, become dangerous social trash, and in the

minds of our now-militarized police, it doesn't matter what happens to them. For those

police with anger management problems, criminals and an accusedcriminal is closeenough are the perfect target; some police already more than half think of them as The

Enemy anyway. This is why so many citizens are getting beaten down by police cops

are in a transition phase between police and military, and anger kicks a lot them over that

dividing line.

We now have an occupying military scattered all over the U.S. They feel totally superior

to ordinary citizens, they feel entitled- to instant obedience by the groveling, fearful,nothingpopulace who ought to be glad to be permitted to keep their lives if they do.

When one fails to grovel sufficiently it's often interpreted as disrespect, called contempt of

cop by police, and disrespect is a threat to an occupying military; it will very often get

citizens attacked and at least beaten severely for their temerity. It has gotten more than onehospitalized or even killed. This is part of the reason that the military is never supposed to

perform policing actions within the U.S. The police and the military have completely

different missions, and must use totally different tactics. Too many cops are bullies whobecame cops in the first place because they wanted power to begin with, and there is a

famous study, the Stanford Prison Experiment, that showed how even ordinary people,

equals, when divided up into prisoners and guards, take on the mentality of those groups,including abuse from the guards and a willingness to follow orders even to causing severe

harm to the prisoners, and they get fear and hatred from the prisoners in return. When

police are handed this kind of power, some of them go off the rails quickly and far too

easily. They'll lie to cover for each other, as the military will, but in the case of police itmeans framing innocent people for something they didnt do, and maybe causing those

innocents a long prison sentence and a criminal record along with much other loss. With an

insidious sort of conditioning program that doesnt say what it means though that messageis gotten across clearly by cops who tend toward violence, their buddies, they are taught,

are all they have besides their own skill and aggression between surviving a war and dying.

Even the people who called the police for help are ending up beaten down, arrested on falsecharges and having to pay for a legal defense and medical care; sometimes they go to

prison. Cops are also going to continue overreacting to the legal ownership by citizens of

firearms. Its insane for an occupying army to allow an occupied populace to own guns! Of

course this is not supposed to be an occupied country, but militarized police are trained andconditioned to react as though it is, and naturally guns in the hands of the people they now

regard as The Enemy are going to raise the paranoia level sky high, and the death toll rises

with it: a military tries hard not to take chances on being shot, so they shoot first,

something police should try hard not to have to do; but these cops are militarized. If policeshoot in error, oh well better if an innocent civilian who was stupid enough to look

dangerous dies than they take a chance on being killed themselves. America is notsupposed to be an occupied country, but with these pseudo-military, conditioned cops stuck

halfway between both, thats exactly what we are!

A standing army has ALWAYS become a danger to the civilian populace of its own

society if it is kept long enough just training between conflicts. This is why Roman law

forbade the army to cross the Rubicon into Rome proper. When it did, it signaled the

beginning of martial law and the end of Rome as anything but a military dictatorship whilethe Senate became little more than a rich businessmans club that let the citizens continue

to believe Rome was still a republic much like Congress is now. The Roman army went

from protecting and expanding Rome to choosing who became Caesar, and finally toselling the throne to the highest bidder. We just seem to have skipped that middle stage,

save that the elite super-wealthy are the ones who choose the public leaders of America

now because theyve bought the Congress through unlimited campaign donations, and mostAmericans are unaware of that.

As long as the military, whether they are government, converted cops or mercenary, is

permitted to operate in the civilian sphere we will continue to have abusive and fatalincidents. Killing is what they do, and they are conditioned to be arrogant its better to

appear arrogant to The Enemy than to look fearful. Police are or they were - taught much

differently. They used to know that even someone they arrest is still only accused, and isinnocent until a conviction by a jury of their peers. They have long since crossed the

Rubicon though, and America has long since ceased to be any sort of Republic. The

corporations own every seat of power in Washington D.C. there is, including the SupremeCourt, which is packed with traitors whove repeatedly violated their oaths, just as the

Congress is. They are serving the corporations that donate the money that gets them

elected or that will hire them after they leave their current posts, not the people or the

country. The elites who have infiltrated the government then also appoint industry


3/3

insiders to regulatory and other government agencies who then put the good of

corporations and their bottom lines above the health, safety and welfare of the people.

It's going to be very, very hard to undo this, if it can be undone at all. Police must be given

the opportunity to either become real military, or to be deprogrammed as military and act

like police again. Failing that, they must be let go to find their own way in some other fieldentirely as we have always done with former military. SWAT teams must be reduced to the

numbers and functions they had to start with, and stop being used for everything, even

things like serving simple subpoenas. Keeping a deadly military around at home to handleordinary policing work is insane! It will continue to have the results it is having now: all

citizens being treated as violent criminals, even being killed, for failure to grovel, and

contempt of cop. A military must presume guilt and intent to kill in the enemy or chance

failing to survive. The police know better: these are their friends and neighbors and theirchildren, the people they swore to serve and protect, and they need help. Shooting them

or beating them to death because they moved or held themselves wrong for a moment, or

because they had something in their hands that might have been a gun simply cannot be

interpreted as service or protection no matter how hard it gets spun.

Militarized police who think theyre an occupying army (and so they are an occupyingarmy) will continue being violent, and they will continue to escalate the level of violence

because thats what a military does in an occupied country. Resistance cannotbe tolerated.

Americans will, eventually, remember who, what and where they are: they are a free peoplein their own country going about their lawful business. They are being attacked by

criminals, and then being attacked again, often far more violently, by the police they called

for the help they were hired to provide, who then become criminals themselves! At some

point, American citizens will have no choice but to react with massive violence themselvessimply in order to survive in their own country against their own police, paid for with their

own taxes to abuse them and theirs. That is a situation no population would tolerate,

especially not one with a long tradition of freedom. Not unless they aspired to slavery.
