This help will be provided in a way designed to subvert the Posse Comitatus Act, set a precedent and continue undermining the Constitution.

The person(s) committing these murders deserve to die, but we shouldn't allow them to kill our God given rights.

So, the Constitution did not exist before 1878?

God did not exist before 1878?

If you lived next door to an Army base and you drove home to find a street gang killing your mother and raping your wife and daughter, you would not cell phone the Army base for help because God has decreed that the U.S. Army cannot help when American citizems are being slaughtered on American soil?

By that logic, if an al Qaeda piloted suicide plane is flying over Maryland to crash into the U.S. Capitol Building, we can not call on the U.S. Air Force for help? We need to call Chief Moose to send up the Moose Air Force?

Americans are dying in the Washington, D.C, area.

How many more Americans are you willing to allow to die to satisfy your version of "Political Correctness"?

The death of 9 Americans is a categorically better than the spectre of the US military enforcing civilian law. Millions could die in that scenario.

Martial law is a scary thing. We need to avoid it at all costs.

The help will be provided in a way meant to comply with the Posse Comitatus Act, an 1878 law that bans the military from domestic law enforcement. That means the military will relay data to law enforcement officials and will not decide on its own what targets to watch, the official said.

It seems that some people on FR see only the parts they want to in an article.

As you said, not only are there 9 dead Americans now, but the economy is being affected also. People are afraid to go shopping, go out to eat, or make any non-essential stops on their way to and from work. My daughter lives in the area and I know how it's affecting her ..... and there are thousands if not millions feeling the same way.

If you lived next door to an Army base and you drove home to find a street gang killing your mother and raping your wife and daughter, would you call the Army base for help because you think the U.S. Army is the appropriate way to respond to crime?

You may deserve the kind of government you're asking for, but the rest of us don't.

"Americans are dying in the Washington, D.C, area"

Nine Americans in two weeks.

In the same time period, probably at least twice that number of Americans have died in drive-bys.

Perhaps we should deploy spy planes to big cities in an attempt to stop those drive-bys. After all, AMERICANS ARE DYING.

Of course, even if we got rid of drive-bys, there would still be violent domestic disputes. Perhaps we should conduct DNA testing of husbands in an attempt to determine which might end up shooting their wives. The military could help out there too.
