FACIAL SCANS BEING SOLD TO PUBLIC FOR "SAFETY REASONS"

http://www.activistpost.com/2012/01/3-d-facial-scans-being-sold-to-public.html

Remember when law enforcement wanted fingerprints and pictures? I thought that was terrible, and I knew my kid would be in a database. So I refused.

I'm glad I did.

In this totalitarian-leaning regime headed by dictator Obama, make sure your decision is the right one. Same thing with facial and iris scans for you, and DNA harvested from your newborn infant at the hospital, without your pemission. You don't belong to the state and God forbid, don't let the state take your children, either.

CASPER, WY: GUN BANNING POLITICIANS ARE AT IT AGAIN -

http://www.ammoland.com/2011/12/27/casper-wy-gun-banning-politicians-are-at-it-again/

And this is what happens when DHS and DOJ offer grants and they are greedily accepted - Constitutional rights be damned!

The numbers to call are in this post - scroll down and you can add your opinion.

It's worth a call.

When DOJ can freely give guns to the drug cartels, and then convince Casper, WY to do this and spy on you, you law abiding citizens of Casper, there is A BIG PROBLEM! The Second Amendment stands alone between "us" and "them". No compromises. EVER!

WHAT WILL WE SAY WHEN THE FEDS COME CRASHING THROUGH THE DOOR?

http://epautos.com/2011/11/16/what-will-we-say/

This is a most excellent, thoughtful, right on article by a guy I "met" tonight through Phil Lucas' weekly "Bay County Bullet". Phil's a libertarian.

If you explore this website, you'll not only find reviews on vehicles, but some really interesting articles on politics...there's one on "Newtie", and one on dealing with cops.

I think you'll find this a good read.

Thanks, Phil!

TAMPA PD GONE CRAZY: THEY ROLLED OUT A TANK TO DEAL WITH A FEW DOZEN PROTESTERS!

http://www.prisonplanet.com/tampa-police-roll-out-a-tank-to-deal-with-a-few-dozen-protesters.html

A lot different than the picture of the kindly cop on the beat - who'd bring you home if you were lost.

This is the problem when local law enforcement get federalized. They forget who they are, get crazed with power (and probably steroids), and who they work for.

This is the federal government in action.

BEWARE and REMEMBER TIANNANEN SQUARE!

WHEN YOU THINK IT CAN'T GET WORSE...THINK AGAIN. POLICE BRUTALITY REWARDED.

Let's ask Obama why on the Twitter townhall! Ha! You think you'll get an answer. This is the federalization/militarization of your law enforcement agencies. Who's going to stop them now?

Echoes of..."a citizen police force as well armed..." - You know what he said. Well, now the nightmare is on our doorstep.

Fred Foldvary on Law Enforcement Seizure in America

The Federalized Militarized Police


by Fred E. Foldvary, Senior Editor
There are two disturbing trends in law enforcement. First, the US military is being used for domestic law enforcement, contrary to law. Secondly, the federal government is taking over the financing, training, and direction of local police, removing the police from local control. The result is that the federalized police have increasingly turned to violent tactics and assaults on people who have not committed any crimes.

Traditionally, the United States has had civilian control of governments at all levels. The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act made it illegal for the US military to act as a domestic police. But the trend now is towards the militarization of law enforcement. The slaughter at Waco was a prime example.

The US military is increasingly involved in domestic law enforcement. The Posse Comitatus Act was amended in 1981 to allow some military involvement in law enforcement. A 1991 amendment provided for military training of the police in drug-law enforcement. In 1996, Joint Task Force 6, under the control of the Department of Defense, was expanded to cover the entire USA. In 1997, the first US Citizen was shot and killed by JTF-6 troops. (See the web site by Common Sense for Drug Policy domestic military involvement.

Under the 1981 "Military Cooperation with Law-Enforcement Officials Act," the US Department of Defense is supplying the local police with paramilitary training and equipment, especially for SWAT teams, for use against civilians. According to Peter Kraska in his article "Militarizing the Police" in Social Problems (issue #1, 1997), many SWAT teams are being trained by former military special operations officers.

In an article in Sept. 7, 1999 San Francisco Examiner, Harley Sorensen had a column entitled "Paramilitary cops serve themselves, not us" reports that the Pentagon routinely send armored personnel carriers, grenade launchers, and M-16 rifles to the police.

These militarized SWAT teams execute warrants by breaking into homes at night, breaking down doors to surprise the sleeping residents. The house gets trashed, the cat might get killed, and if they don't find any drugs, they leave without any apology. No records are kept on the number of innocent people brutalized and shot by paramilitary units (The American Sentinel, December 1999). The police are also increasingly practicing asset forfeiture and seizure, where the raiders keep the loot.

What to do? We can ask candidates for federal offices about how they stand on federalized militarized police. Let candidates know you are aware of the issue and concerned. Let your local officials know you are worried about this because this federalization can reduce safety rather than make us secure. If federalization proceeds, the police will be taken out of local control. Their funding will come from federal funds and asset seizures. Your local city council will lose control of the police. They will not longer be local police, but units of a federal police force allied with the US military.

We are not yet a national military police state, but America has started on this path, and it should be stopped before the police become tools of the federal government, terrorizing civilians rather than protecting local public safety.

Does this make you feel safe?

If I decide to join a group protesting...anything, like redress of government (hah!),
will our federalized law enforcement pull this device out, just because we are peacefully demonstrating against something they have orders to stop?
