Seriously, ask yourself how you would react if the same story appeared in Free Republic. This comes across as a crappy Y2K conspiracy. What exactly is it you imaging DHS is going to do in Ferguson? There are no Federal facilities there, so FPS have no jurisdiction. And if you imagine that DHS's evil minions are going to be in the background cracking down on civil liberties, wouldn't they be smart enough to use unmarked vehicles?

And let's remember one more thing. If you imagine DHS doing anything here, please substitute "President Obama". He's in charge of the Executive Branch, he appoints the DHS Secretary. So which evil plot are you ready to leave at his door?

nb - other than as an emotional trigger, why is the fact that a hotel employee is a "Navy Vet" at all relevant.
