In what many believe is yet another sign that Americans are being prepared for martial law, the U.S. Special Operations Command is conducting a massive urban warfare training drill in downtown Minneapolis Minnesota.
After worried residents phoned the police departments and media, the authorities decided to let residents know that it was simply a military drill and nothing to be afraid of.
Right on Que the corporate controlled media went to work to shill for the full scale military takeover of America by telling their readers and viewers that it was “just a training exercise.”

The Star Tribune reported:

The U.S. Special Operations Command has been conducting routine urban-environment training in Minneapolis and Saint Paul since Aug. 19, supported by police in both Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The training, which had been conducted in locations not easily seen by the public, became more visible as of Sunday, when helicopters became part of it.
Residents can expect to see or hear low-flying military transport helicopters, specifically Black Hawks and smaller Hughes 500s between 7 p.m. and midnight.
The training is part of a larger operation which includes urban warfare training in major cities throughout the United States in what many claim is preparation to take on the American people during a period of civil unrest possibly caused by economic collapse.

“Back in May, Panic-stricken residents in Coconut Grove, South Florida were awoken at 1am to the sound of simulated gunfire and explosions as military helicopters hovered over buildings and dispatched troops to the ground, noted Paul Joseph Watson.

The commotion was part of an unannounced joint drill between Miami police and the Department of Defense. The fact that the exercise took place in the middle of the night with no prior warning to residents suggested authorities were attempting to incorporate a ‘shock value’ into the drill.”

In late April, military helicopters also invaded downtown Chicago, startling residents and once again causing widespread speculation.

“In a shocking display of the police state and the creeping push towards actual martial law, heavily armed military officers in black helicopters swooped through downtown Chicago in what was billed as a routine military exercise, we reported.
Up to three Blackhawk Helicopters flew in formation and separately around downtown office buildings and apartments for at least three hours.”
