It's important to remember that there is a reason for the way things are. Why do you think DHS is buying up all of the ammo, some 1.6 billion with a B rounds as well as armored vehicles, drones, and other hardware until now thought of as military gear, not "peace officer" gear? Cite, Mr. Insanity? I didn't think so..... Well, you have to give Snotty credit for being an out of control paranoid. Many police departments have had armored vehicles for decades. Even our local sheriff's department has one. I asked a deputy once why...and he said it was a crowd attractor at fairs and other venues where his department tries to reach out for recruits. Police departments also have access to the same light arms assault rifles the military uses, and the same sniper rifles. I don't know much about the drones, but I'm sure police departments with lots of wide open spaces could use some of the unarmed variety to help in search and rescue. Perhaps someday PsychSnotty will find himself in a shoot-out with the local gendarmes. The family might try to escape through the back door on that "motobike" they keep in the kitchen. |

It is just an indication that the cops have more money than they know what to do with I don't know much about the drones, but I'm sure police departments with lots of wide open spaces could use some of the unarmed variety to help in search and rescue. Of course this could bring up some alarming 4th amendment issues. My real fear with these drones is that they will just be loitering over people's houses looking for amusing things the cops can laugh about. What would you do if there was a drone hovering 50 feet over the pool were your teenaged daughters were playing? Same as the x ray vans. There are over 500 vans in the US, controlled by law enforcement and private orgs. A congressman trying to get a list of who bought and is operating those vans was turned down by the manufacturer. The congressman feels as I do that it's important for Americans to know who and why is looking at them through what opaque structure? What do you think they'll see when they 'look at you'?? A stunted little wacko doing his best to avoid a haircut and a real job. You should be more concerned that they might be developing mind reading capabilities. |

I did hear, though, that 20 of the vans circle your house and emit X-rays so as to sterilize you. |
