Think you're mixing this with the 1000+ Dolphins taught to walk on land and take away your guns in the midst of night they ordered.

Or was that the ants with microchips they plant in you during the night, always mix the two.

Apparently the ACLU sees this as a problem too:

Quote:

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has launched a nationwide campaign to assess police militarization in the United States. Starting Wednesday, ACLU affiliates in 23 states are sending open records requests to hundreds of state and local police agencies requesting information about their SWAT teams, such as how often and for what reasons they're deployed, what types of weapons they use, how often citizens are injured during SWAT raids, and how they're funded. More affiliates may join the effort in the coming weeks. Additionally, the affiliates will ask for information about drones, GPS tracking devices, how much military equipment the police agencies have obtained through programs run through the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security, and how often and for what purpose state National Guards are participating in enforcement of drug laws.
"We've known for a while now that American neighborhoods are increasingly being policed by cops armed with the weapons and tactics of war," said Kara Dansky, senior counsel at the ACLU's Center for Justice, which is coordinating the investigation. "The aim of this investigation is to find out just how pervasive this is, and to what extent federal funding is incentivizing this trend."

ACLU is just one of the watch dogs.

Everybody is a watch dog, or at least should be. The Federal government is like a powerful and unpredictable beast. It must be kept on a very short leash at all times.

I agree August and understand the concern when the Fed kind of starts going out of it's realm, such as, armored vehicles. You are one of thousands that are vigilant and question. ACLU, NAACP, NRA, NLRB, etc. watch and question what any one or body of people are doing.
