    We need to fix the bad laws about what citizens can have before we should even consider agreeing to let the police go full Storm Trooper.

    What the states and locals can do is not the same as what they should do, if they are going to have military forces they should be different than the Kops.

    So in this case Trump is actually doing the correct thing, although I doubt he was worried about the constitutional aspect.

    I totally agree, but I don't like the idea of ignoring the constitution out of convenience. If you don't like the local police using military gear the correct thing is to vote for a new governor or sheriff or whoever is in charge of that decision.

    Let's just say there is a list as long as both my arms and both my legs of things that Dump should have fixed first.

    Also remember that the Feds are subsidizing the militarization of the police.

    This should be pretty obvious to anyone looking at this as in who is paying for this crap?

My guess is the second, because it facilitates the mingling of PD with the military. In a few years, we'll see PD formally integrated with the military. They already train together, and many are vets.

    Is this a serious comment? If so, you actually think the UN controls those troops?

    And like usual you're full of $#@!. You seriously don't think this country is trying to be the World Police? This is the quote timosman was responding to;

    George Bush, Sr. could not have stated the New World Order more clearly:


    What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big idea: a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind -- peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle and worthy of our children's future.

    --George Bush I
    Address Before a Joint Session of the Congress on the State of the Union

    My point was that the problem lies in Washington DC, not in some imaginary globalist cabal.

    The solution to the problem is quite simple; stop voting for warmongers.

    This stands in stark contrast to the other proffered solution: i.e. vote for "anti-globalist" (whatever that means) warmongers, like Trump.

    Sorry if that triggers your one world government defense reflex.

    DC is a globalist cabal, I thought that was obvious.

    It's obvious that "anti-globalist" is the latest focus-group approved slogan from the people in DC...

    ....who get to do the exact same thing under a new name.

    If only I had a dollar for every time Hannity et al used the term globalist in the last few months.

    There are 6,413 bills and resolutions currently before the United States Congress, but of those only about 4% will become law.

    How many of us know what Congress did today? Even fewer could say what happened in their state legislatures. The sheer volume of bills that die is staggering, but how many Americans even read the bills that do become law? There's so much legislation down the pike, its no stretch of the imagination to see a cabal. The way I see it, our New World Order behaves like its got no head. In practice, Order's only more false advertising, more projecting. Nobody has any idea what the hell's going on, the globalist cabal just lives to plunder and destroy.



    I'm still with you in principle, voting nonintervention's the best step forward.

    You really think that Police need Bayonets to perform their duties?

    Because that was the only thing that was Banned by Obama.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    I was very much expecting this.

    I said it before.

    The Only thing the Police need is a SHORT LEASH.
