Every state in the US to have "riot control" squads

[Stalin]

Get used to this...

The US military is now a fully committed arm of the Frump cabal

if they want to "fight crime" they should start with the crook in the now-ruined White House

"..A Pentagon internal memo, made public in several news reports Wednesday and Thursday, sets a January 1 deadline for the establishment of “quick reaction” forces of about 500 National Guard soldiers in each of the 50 states which could be deployed within 24 hours’ notice to suppress “civil unrest” in American cities.

The memo follows an executive order issued by President Trump in September, after the occupation of Washington D.C. by thousands of National Guard troops and armed federal agents, ostensibly for the purposes of “fighting crime” and protecting federal agents as they carry out violent raids targeting immigrants for arrest, detention and deportation.

The total number of soldiers in all 50 states and four territories comes to 23,500, with a few states and territories allowed to provide fewer than 500 soldiers because of their small populations, including Guam, the Virgin Islands, Delaware and Alaska.

In each of the states, the Pentagon is sending in personnel to provide training in crowd control, handling of detainees, and use of “non-lethal” weapons such as batons, tasers and launchers for teargas and pepper balls.

A report Thursday on the website of the Washington Post drew out the implications of the training and equipment directives:

The Pentagon has ordered thousands of specialized National Guard personnel to complete civil unrest mission training over the next several months, an indication that the Trump administration’s effort to send uniformed military forces into urban centers—once reserved for extraordinary emergencies—could become the norm…

The mandate, along with the growing presence of federal and immigration enforcement officers, suggests further military deployments within the United States could grow in size and scope.

Pentagon sets January 1 deadline to set up National Guard “riot control” units

More than 20,000 troops are to be trained in the suppression of civil unrest and prepared to deploy on 24 hours notice anywhere in the US.

Democrats have a long history of hating cops and soldiers. Hillary was infamous for that in the 1990s.

Restructuring Obsolete Institutions

The active-duty military should take over the duties of the National Guards (worthless weekend warriors), FEMA (lazy government employees), and the Border Patrol (history of being totally ineffective).
