National Guard forced to stand down by law enforcement in Boston
The Washington Times Communities ^ | Sunday, April 21, 2013 | Alan Jones

The commander of the Rhode Island Army National Guard 13th Civil Support Team (CST) claims that her two WMD detection experts assigned duty at the Boston Marathon along with WMD troops from the Massachusetts Army National Guard 1st CST were “several blocks” from the finish line at the time of the twin terror bombings, but when those units immediately tried to move into position to respond, troops from both states were forced to stay back after law enforcement denied them access to the scene at the finish line.

Every police officer and attorney should know it is priority one to assist the wounded, evidence be damned.

Once the wounded are helped and the scene secure from other threats, then crime scene maintenance and inspection becomes important.

No, neither of you are the only ones.

There are photographs clearly depicting actors being made-up as ‘victims’. These are photos showing the process in action.

I’m outraged. And what really galls, is that many people are being manipulated and are blind to it.

Local enforcement has never like the feds sticking their noses into things. It’s a turf thing. They probably resented the FBI being there, also.

I’m skeptical, but not of the bombing itself, just who did it.

This can’t be fake...

an event caused by two idiots with Walmart pressure cookers. Can anyone imagine what just 20 unsophisticated people could do with a half baked plan, in several major cities in the U.S.? Based on what happened in Boston, they could literally shut down this entire country...

Just before, and in the early day of WWII, Germany put together a very sophisticated Civil Defense plan, that monitored night time raids by British bombers, alerted the civilian population to take shelter, and let the civilian population know when it was all clear, and it could exit the bomb shelters.

Only the Brits quickly found out that by sending a couple of bombers to Berlin, they could get the Germans to activate their civil defense system, interrupting night time business, and depriving millions of war workers of a night's sleep. The loss of productivity alone made the raid a success, even if the bombers never dropped a bomb within 10 miles of a target.

That reminds me that any bomb coming within a mile (or half a mile?) was scored as a direct hit.

In theory you’d think that would be good policework. However, firstly, I really don’t think the ‘police’ were at the root of the home invasion problem, and secondly, I think considering an entire town of 30,000 homes or whatever it was is patently bad ‘police work’.

This video is what I was complaining about. Might has well have been in Fallujah Likely nothing if you were a homeowner on scene. But that doesn't preclude one from raising hell about it afterwards, bringing local officials to task for allowing that crap to happen. Voting for more freedom minded representatives. My main point is their freedom was suspended and they largely took or seem to be taking it like sheep at shearing time.

I work with CST's. I wonder what the point of these are if the FEDs are going to sweep in and forbid them to do their job? Same thing could be said about HRF's.

Oh boy.....

"posse commitatus" only deals with Title 10, active duty. It does not concern National Guard on State Title 32 orders. It is legal for the National Guard of a State (or another state in which that state has a partnership...Like Tx does with LA) to be armed and working a scene...

This was not a posse commitatus thing...this was a Fed in control of everything thing.

Wait a minute, wouldn’t a grecience be more like “Wessonality”?

I tend to think you’d need mind bleach to get rid of that (maybe?).

Sorry. I got so used to National Guard personnel being called up for federal duty in the sandbox.
