Sounds like they are anticipating massive civil unrest. Obama recently signed EO’s that allow him to seize control of all roads, waterways, rail roads, telecom infrastructure, the air traffic control system, water works, power companies, pipelines, etc., pretty much everything necessary to bring the entire country to a screeching halt at the flip of a switch.

There has been an effort to militarize local police departments that goes back well before Obama. It really took off under Clinton, and God only knows what all was handed out in the wake of 9/11, but it was a lot.

There has been an effort to militarize local police departments that goes back well before Obama. It really took off under Clinton, and God only knows what all was handed out in the wake of 9/11, but it was a lot.

The war on drugs has also been a major contributor to the para-militarization of police. Assault on a crack houses is a perfect reason for why a town of 3,000 needs a 25 member tactical response team armed with full auto weapons, Kevlar vests, armored vehicles and ninja style balaclava.

For the most part all many of these teams seem to do is show up, kill the family dog, harass or kill the homeowner who they've tried to drag out of bed at 2:AM after entering unannounced into his home, then dismiss it all as an unfortunate mistake...an "isolated incident."
