#1 Some of the police look like FOB rats with all their gear on. It is a bit over the top, all black gear, blacked out truck, tanks, They need to get over themselves and back to work.

#2 Militarized? Fine. There's an office in every state for that, the National Guard Adjutant General. Move all such teams to their control and for the establishment of ROEs and 'Mother May I's (approval authority to carry out missions consistent with the ROEs).

#3 Want some neat kit, like to kick in doors, shoot big guns, see lots of action? Visit scenic highway 611 and Kajaki dam, Helmand Province, AFG. Might be a few Marines still there who point you in the right direction. If not, then FOAD u wanker.

#4 I've been saying for years we have become a police state. At least it is starting to show up in the regular media now.

#5 Let's be honest, these people are playing dress-up. Albeit with live ammo. I would also assume that a few of them are trying to get to where they almost got but didn't because it was toooooo damn scary.

#6 Exactly the point Ship. They are all the gear and ego, without a clue. Makes them dangerous to themselves and society. And to Besoeker's point, posers would never go against a real enemy. They prefer going after moms and kids...

#7 3,000 swat raids across the country in the 80s, last year 50,000.

Something has gone seriously wrong with our country. Especially when the militarized police go against little old ladies and non-violent law breakers.

#8 Well the SWAT teams of the world have proven themselves to be "all hat and no ranch" many times when in the face of a hostile activity and innocents to rescue, they dither and fiddle and spend more time worrying about their casualties than they do about the innocent dead.

And every time I see a film of SWAT teams in action, I laugh, who in the hell taught them that centipede move was a tactic?

They are a bunch of wankers playing dress up like little kids putting on their daddy's old uniform to play soldier.

#9 As per FREEREPUBLIC Artic, the Bundyland standoff is interpreted as the Fed Govt. now asserting de facto joint or quasi ownership of any + all PRIVATE = NON-GOVT-PUBLIC LANDS IN THE USA.

"LEGALISM" = By extension, the Fed should legally be able to not only confiscate any + all Private or non-Govt. properties at its leisure widout benefit of eminent domain = public condemnation proceedings or compensation, BUT CAN NOW USE THESE NEWLY BEGOTTEN "FEDERAL/GOVT." ASSETS TO PAY OFF AMERIKA'S EVER-INCREASING NATIONAL DEBT.

The zealous or manic protection of the Welfare-Nanny State in America = Amerika at the expense of everything else Americana is reaching its full or logical conclusion.

We saw a hint of this in the UK-EU already when UK Courts ruled that the National Govt. has the right to engage in fracking operations on private property widout need of OWNER-LANDLORD CONSENT OR COMPENSATION.

Lest we fergit, UNO OFFICIAL = "COMMUNISM" IS THE IDEAL/PREFERRED METHOD OF INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES PLANNING + EXCHANGE.

* OWG-NWO + "GLOBALISM" = ORGANIZING + PREPPING THE WHOLE OF PLANET EARTH + RESOURCES FOR DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION + HABITATION = NO MORE CIVIL LIBERTIES OR PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF EVERYTHING-N-ANYTHING???

Aren't you glad Americans = Amerikans voted for it!

Oh wait ... ...
