Concert, Public Event Survival Guide--War Cops Train With SEALS in Urban Warfare-War On Concert Goers, Musicians-NC Cops Arrest Over 60 people In “Special Enforcement Operation" (Picture, Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Raleigh, NC — The legendary jam band Phish is followed by police just as often as they are followed by their fans. Over the years, police have surely made millions of dollars arresting nonviolent Phish fans who were just trying to have a good time.

The band’s shows always seem to attract police because their fans are known to create a wild and free, but mostly safe, party atmosphere.

Last week in North Carolina, the police came out in full force at a Phish concert at Walnut Creek Amphitheater, arresting over 60 people in a “special enforcement operation assisted by the area’s alcohol control bureaucracy.”

The charges ranged from drug possession to distribution, and sharing alcohol with a minor. Fans in the parking lot who were caught drinking were charged with having open containers, and other alcohol violations.

In total 115 charges were given to 65 people, many of whom traveled to the event from out of state. Not one of the charges were for a violent crime or a crime against property. Every single one of the charges was related to drugs, alcohol, or doing business without permits.

Local newspapers publicly shamed the victims by publishing their names, charges, and mugshots.

The Free Thought Project has put together a survival guide on how to interact with police and safely attend concerts, music festivals, and sporting events. You can see it here.

Police agencies use special enforcement divisions to enhance militaristic responses to special events.  One orgnization defnes LAPD”s situation this way:

Special Enforcement Bureau

The Special Enforcement Bureau is a Departmental support unit that provides a variety of specialized services throughout Los Angeles County. It is currently comprised of five details that provide these services. They include the Canine Services and Search Detail, the Emergency Services Detail (ESD), the Special Enforcement Detail (SED-special weapons teams), the Mounted Enforcement Detail, and the Special Motorcycle Detail.  SOURCE 

Experts say even  the military trains wth these umits. Are our police agencies at war with citizens, or preparing to be?

 Members of the US Navy SEAL,s and other military special operations units, often attend SED training schools to gain additional experience in conducting tactical operations. In addition, students from several foreign countries have attended SED training courses. For example, Venezuelan police officers attended the Basic SWAT School in 1999. Each year SED deputies spend an average of 400 hours of training time on the range honing their shooting skills.
