The militarization of America

[KT2000]

5. happened where I live

Last week - In the next town over, Port Angeles, population 17,000, the Blackhawks circled neighborhoods for a few hours around midnight. They directed lights into back yards. They came from Joint Base Lewis McChord without any warning to local authorities so when the calls came in from the citizens, no one knew what was going on. JBLM commander said they would inform law enforcement next time.

A couple weeks before that three of us were standing on a bluff on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, between Canada and the US, watching an eagle fledgling in her nest when a Blackhawk going up and down the shoreline came back and circled above us several times.

We already have 50 Border Patrol agents with nothing to do and a brand new $3 million jail built for their needs. They also have just about every toy you could think of to do nothing.
So far they have taken into custody a legal citizen and apprehended a man who has been here 16 years - he was selling his home grown vegetables at the farmer's market. They also chased man they suspected of being "illegal" through the forest where he eventually ran into a river and drown.

One BP agent got in trouble for trying to choke his supervisor during a staff meeting.

Yeah - America...............
