By making a few subtle changes to a regulation in the U.S. Code titled “Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies” the military has quietly granted itself the ability to police the streets without obtaining prior local or state consent, upending a precedent that has been in place for more than two centuries.

The most objectionable aspect of the regulatory change is the inclusion of vague language that permits military intervention in the event of “civil disturbances.” According to the rule:

Federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances.


Bruce Afran, a civil liberties attorney and constitutional law professor at Rutgers University, calls the rule, “a wanton power grab by the military,” and says, “It’s quite shocking actually because it violates the long-standing presumption that the military is under civilian control.”

They've been messing with this for a while now.

The US had/has an article known as Posse Comitatus Act which seeks to limit federal govt military involvement in domestic issues.

Unsurprisingly, Bush fucked with that post 911 as part of the Patriot Act(s) shenanigans, his amendments were repealed and now Obama is tinkering.

The big boys want their control toys.
They'll get them as well because the people don't see a monarch with a sceptre and believe they're free. :roll:

The usual reaction. Quite disturbing. Completely unsurprising.
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. The true measure of a man is this: how quickly he can respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give - Philip K. Dick.

And it doesn't matter so long as they keep voting either democrat or republican they'll get the same treatment.
Unlike the UK they do at least have a libertarian party but much like the UK they all vote like pillocks.
