About those militarized police forces....

Tony, a frequent commenter and LEO, pushed back on an earlier article I did expressing alarm at the thought that for the Bundy Ranch incident the Obama Administration had considered and dismissed the idea of using the US military against the protesters.  His pushback dealt with the issue of the federal government buying huge sums of ammunition for its internal police forces.

Let me continue the debate by adding this portion of the same article I did earlier.  via The Washington Times...

Defense analysts say there has been a buildup of military units within non-security-related federal agencies, notably the creation of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams. The buildup has raised questions about whether the Obama administration is undermining civil liberties under the guise of counterterrorism and counternarcotics efforts.
Other agencies with SWAT teams reportedly include the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Education Department.
The militarization of federal agencies, under little-known statues that permit deputization of security officials, comes as the White House has launched verbal attacks on private citizens’ ownership of firearms despite the fact that most gun owners are law-abiding citizens.

I am only the messenger.  But this militarization of federal law enforcement should be alarming to everyone.  We're not talking about beefing up the FBI, CIA, or US Marshals Service.  We're talking about white collar crime agencies.

I can only point to the information.

If you refuse to ignore what your lying eyes are telling you then awesome. But ignoring the obvious doesn't change things.

Something foul is going on....
