BO's Anti-Militarization Move on Police a Devil in Disguise

As much as police need some oversight — as much as police militarization is an issue that’s worthy of review and reform — President Obama’s executive action to rein in local police powers is not the way to go.

Why?

In the end, America is going to be left with little more than a federal law enforcement force, rather than the civilian, localized supposed servant-to-the-people-type departments that currently dot our communities. Here’s how it’s going to morph.

Obama, in response to the grand jury finding that no evidence existed to indict white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the Aug. 9 shooting death of black teenage Michael Brown, ordered his White House staff to write an executive order that would mandate more training for police who accept gear from the Pentagon’s 1033 program. That’s the program that transfers military equipment from battlefields to backyard police departments — equipment that includes mine resistant ambush protected vehicles, or MRAPs, high-powered weaponry, night vision goggles, helicopters and sniper firing gear and the like, to the tune of $4.3 billion worth since 1997.

The Pentagon’s 1033 has come to light in recent months because of concerns it was fueling the militarization of our nation’s civilian police force, and leading officers seeking nonviolent drug suspects to commit egregious acts of carelessness — like blowing up babies with flash bang grenades while serving no-knock warrants, as they did in one notable instance in Atlanta.

Now look at Ferguson, where race relations between police and civilians — and more specifically, between the majority white local police department and the majority black community — have taken on national proportions. What began as the self-defensive shooting by a police officer against a threatening criminal suspect has now morphed to an entire “hands up, don’t shoot” attitude that’s woven into the stream of public consciousness, politically and culturally. Sadly, shuttered to the side of Ferguson-related debate, however, is the factual evidence, including autopsy reporting, that showed Wilson committed no legal wrong and that’s why the grand jury had no cause to indict.

Doesn’t matter, though. In the world of “hands up, don’t shoot,” facts aren’t so important as race, and Wilson’s whiteness compared to Brown’s blackness has emerged as the overriding issue.

      :idea: :arrow: Remember, do no harm to fellow freedom Lovers of any color. Remember that the 1% is trying to make this a race and color issue; which it is not! It is the 99% of all citizens against the 1%! Color has nothing to do with it, as we the people only want our criminal corrupt government illegal laws and bankers/corporations from ruling all of us. Do no harm or damage to your neighbors property, or persons! It needs to go to the treasonous corrupt offices in uniform protecting the DC criminals power over its people! If this clueless agressers going up against the will of the people are traitors to their oath, their country, and that that of all past veterans who lost their lives for our country.

      Since these criminals in uniform will do harm to you and your children, remember, they also have spouses and children that will left behind in their home. Imagine if the peaceful citizens of your community visits them and asks if they can stand in the front lines with them; after peacefully explaining their fathers treasonous actions are nothing but acting as Treasonous criminals. Do you think the fathers will harm their very own loved ones and finally put down their weapons, once they see their loved ones in front of them?

      They also have children, parents, brothers, sisters, etc, so knowing where all their families live in your neighborhood is vital to get these Treasonous Criminals In Uniform to Stop their Criminal Actions, and Commiting TREASON against it very own Community and citizens. Talk about Modern Day Extreme SS Nazi Criminal Henchmen in Uniform and them taking the American Flag and using it as their own PERSONAL TOILET PAPER!

      Do these forces really think they will be going home to their peaceful home after they do harm to their very neighbors/community? Imagine if they take the life of a fellow neighbor. Do they really think that their community will allow them and their family to live in their home peacefully, after they harmed children and citizens? Don’t they understand that their family will be on the receiving end of whatever forces they given to their fellow community members? Do they really think they and their families will live a more “Peaceful” life after they taken up arms against its very neighbors they were sworn to protect? How can their community be safer after they are the REAL criminal gang doing harm to its community?

      The more criminal uniform officers your community can keep from the martial law scene and their Police Dept. will weaken the DC powers over your community. The Feds gave military grade weapons to each small city because these are the VERY FORCES that DC needs to keep their power over the people. If these police officers put their weapons down, all communities will be free from the corrupt DC powers, and power given back to its very people.

      If the Treasonsous Criminal gang is already in force against your community; they do wear ONLY chest protection…but…Imagine if you were bowling with a heavy ball. How many standing Leg Pins would you knock down in one roll? 1 Strike roll knocks down 10 different standing pins = standing leg pins not mobile/walkable = weakening the legs in the game you are playing, so they can no stand anymore.

      Is their anything that these Criminal Treasonous Gangs in police uniforms will not do for money? How will history look at these WW2 SS officers that will surpress its very own citizens, and overthrow our Constitution? They are the very traitors to the US Consitution, and shown they love power more then PROTECTING THEIR LOVED ONES THEY LEFT AT HOME. By them leaving their families alone, the peaceful citizens can go to their very homes and peacefully ask/get them to the front lines, so these treasonous criminal thugs can put down their weapons they chosen to overthrown your nations Freedom. Anything less, they are Enemies against the Freedom State.

      DO NO HARM TO ANYONE! ALL LIFE DESERVES TO LIVE, AND I DO NOT CONDONE NOR IMPLY HARMING ANYONE. Understand and Love can Repair.
