| #8 As per #2, I'd be LOL iff the issue or threat to domestic liberties wasn't so real. |

| #7 Looking at the conditions: prevent wanton loss of life and property or to secure federal property if the locals are unable. Bundy Ranch should not have even been a question. |

| #6 7 Mile backup of people trying to get into Bunkerville from all over the western US to support the rancher. The militia allowed only the first 1,000 people into the standoff. If the tyrant in the oval office had pulled the trigger, he would have been the first President charged, sentenced and given life in prison for murder. Something that should still be done in regards to Benghazi and the Veteran Administration death list. |

| #5 A U.S. official said the Obama administration considered but rejected deploying military force under the directive during the recent standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his armed supporters. Still too early in getting enough officers to blindly obey orders? Real nasty if there was significant resistance or, worse, like in Moscow with Yeltsin the military going over to the other side upon arrival. |

| #3 Matt, they certainly can be heavy handed as well. |

| #2 Other agencies with SWAT teams reportedly include the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Education Department. So for the time being, we're safe from the Bureau of Weights and Measures. |

| #1 The policy is from 2010, but I'm not going crazy here right? This is truly scary, right? A U.S. official said the Obama administration considered but rejected deploying military force under the directive during the recent standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his armed supporters. He would have had a civil war had he done that. |
