In reply to the discussion: "WE'RE BUILDING A DOMESTIC ARMY" -Marine Corps Colonel Speaks Out [View all]Civilization2
(649 posts)"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives..",. seems to be a clear position on what the man in the video presents.
The man in the video is speaking about the acquisition of military equipment by local/state police forces,. and how this is being done in such a way as to "integrate" them with military standards and programs,. he is speaking about the FACT that military gear is NOT NEEDED in domestic policing, and yet we see the acceleration in this militarization of local and state police forces. This is an easily observable fact anywhere across America, the cops now look like storm-troopers with full body-armor, face masks and advanced weaponry including half-tracks, and drones.
The point he makes is valid and easily observable for anyone to verify. This is a disturbing trend and one we need to reverse and counteract at every opportunity. A military-state is not a free and open society, it is anti-democratic.
