U.S. Soldiers now raiding U.S. gun shops

[jeremy]

Now this is the one exception I can maybe agree with. And it happens to be the only one allowed for in the Posse Comitatus act.

You REALLY need to educate yourself with the Posse Comitatus Act...
Cause there are LOTS of things I am allowed to do as a Servicemember inside of the USA...

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE OTHER BAZILLION FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS? THEY CAN'T HANDLE A GUN STORE?

each agency has an area of expertise...would you want the BATFE trying to search for your kidnapped child?

 

[Destro]

I'm a sensational guy, what can I say?

You guys would love hanging out with me. I'm great at parties.

"Sorry I'm late guys. I got held up in some martial law."

thats so awesome

Why doesn't one person tell me one good reason why it is necessary for any members of the military to participate in a civilian raid?

"It's the Air Force's stuff!" is not a good enough reason to head down a potentially slippery slope. Law enforcement routinely recovers stolen property. It has never been necessary for the owners to be present during the raid.

Maybe that's not what happened in this instance. Nobody seems to know yet. But in general, why would it ever be a good idea?

I think its a little belittling actual troops to describe 1811 civilian federal DOD agents as "members of the militaty"

ohh here's a tricky one steveh_131...who should have jursdiction over civi's that are on/visiting a military instalation?

There is no reason that Fedzilla needs to be involved with lost children either.

Your right...

Your Local Deputy should have little trouble being able to find the lost or kidnapped child in another State or Country...

... but there are some...

There are far more Boogie men out in tin foil conspiracy nut land though...

Now you went and did it Trooper

Tell Polly Klass that. Oh, that's right. You can't. She was killed by a perpetrator that got his car stuck 500 feet into a neighboring county. He was approached by deputies (who helped push him out) who knew nothing about the abduction because there was no ability to communicate across jurisdictions.

Every once in a while willful ignorance is better described as stupidity.

I think county sheriffs, or state governments could collaborate just fine. We don't need the Feds as much as you believe.

But everyone's definition of small government is different. Clearly.

If only we had some sort of Big Government bureaucracy to turn to.

The kind that makes everything more efficient.

Then Polly Klass would have been rescued by a bureaucrat on a Federal unicorn.

Darn right. We all support small government, unless it's the part of the government we personally benefit from.

No bias here, that's for sure.

Trust me I have a very firm grasp of how little we actually need the Federal Government. However, I am not delusional either. Reality sucks and yes we do need some of the Federal Agencies to survive....

there are bad apples in every career/group on earth. As I stated that is what each Department has there own Office of Investigation General. They are the internal affairs of the FED's. Anyone can call OIG and file a complaint (even a federal inmate) and OIG will do a little fact finding to see if an investigation is warrented. That is what keeps the worker bee agents in line. As far as off the hook leadcership that is what congress is suppose to be for.

Absolutely! Everyone notices how well that's worked out for I.U. students the past 10 years or so.

Perhaps folks might recall the concept of "inter-jurisdictional-cooperation". It doesn't work as well as it should in many places, but it's how serial murders and cross-state kidnappings and other crimes get solved.

Here is a good article on this (if already posted, sorry).
