Maybe there's a 100 pound teenage Chechen on the loose in Oakland.

[AU72]

You can be sure it’s not targeting the new or old Black Panthers.

[cripplecreek]

Liberal city getting what it has always wanted.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Barricading cities; The new norm.

[faithhopecharity]

import millions of Islamicists and turn America into an armed camp police state under military, or military-style occupation

we warned about this when WashDC started importing them in the 1970’s

and the damned politicians are STILL doing it to us!!!

[Free Vulcan]

Folks, there’s a whole lotta crap been going on around the country in a short period of time. Not a good pattern.

[Dead Corpse]

A Police State is a happy place.

Pick up that can...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

A Dragnet based on information voluntarily provided by Williams-Sonoma?

[DBrow]

They learned from Boston that they can get away with it. Wait until the first LEO gets shot, regrettably. Then they will need to ratchet up another step, to keep us all safe.

[Oberon]

This has been a long time coming... should have done it years ago.

Better still, just wall the whole thing off, lock the gate shut, and melt the key for scrap.

[TSgt]

Can someone please explain why it is necessary for the police to wear military battle dress uniforms?

[tomkat]

Oakland Police and other agencies involved told KTVU that the participating departments were not at liberty to discuss what the action concerned  said STFU and get back on the curb, peasants !

[Grampa Dave]

Paging Travis McGee..

[SpaceBar]

Yup. Nuke it from orbit.

[DBrow]

“Can someone please explain why it is necessary for the police to wear military battle dress uniforms?”

They have become more and more militarized starting, I think, in ‘93. Uniforms, armor, tactics, tools are much more military than the old bluesuit “policeman is your friend”.

[Stentor]

Maybe there's a 100 pound teenage Chechen on the loose in Oakland.

In Philly they would look first at all the half drum barbecues on the sidewalks to see what was being served for lunch.

[Triple]

Intimidation.

[Grampa Dave]

A profile of the targets in this major sweep, is portrayed in the poster behind big lesbo, er big Sis:

[ClearCase_guy]

They can do this in MA.
They can do this in CA.

If they manage to do this in TX and walk away unscathed, I will be very surprised.

[rarestia]

They learned from Boston that they can get away with it.

Yep! This is all pattern testing and acclimation of tyranny. It's another incremental step. They tell you "it's for your safety," but over time, their presence grows to the point of consistency. They wall off neighborhoods, setup bulletproof checkpoints. Voila! Welcome to your ghetto. Your extermination number is 155. Please stand in line for your shower.
