Gov.: Drones over Va. 'great'; cites battlefield success

[PSPS]

20. So now we're a "battlefield."

Increased safety and reduced manpower are among the reasons the U.S. military and intelligence community use drones on the battlefield, which is why it should be considered in Virginia, he says.

That's kind of the situation in a nutshell. With the hyper-militarization of the police and our seemingly willing acceptance of a police state at the airport, we have become, in fact, a "battlefield." Our so-called police sees itself as an occupying force in a hostile environment. Hardly a day goes by without some murder or other act of unnecessary violence committed by a hyped-up cop, who then dutifully gets a paid vacation while the act is "investigated" and then casually rubber stamped as "justified."
