Pentagon Unilaterally Grants Itself Authority Over ‘Civil Disturbances’
The manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects offered the nation a window into the stunning military-style capabilities of our local law enforcement agencies. For the past 30 years, police departments throughout the United States have benefitted from the government’s largesse in the form of military weaponry and training, incentives offered in the ongoing “War on Drugs.” For the average citizen watching events such as the intense pursuit of the Tsarnaev brothers on television, it would be difficult to discern between fully outfitted police SWAT teams and the military.
The lines blurred even further Monday as a new dynamic was introduced to the militarization of domestic law enforcement.

The headline is BS! Choices on this article if true. The American people have reacted to the gun grab.

But the title is misleading because it declares it a bad thing without looking at both sides of the story. Who came up with the title? On a personal note I see the story if true as a good thing. I know the enlisted force of our military first hand. The DHS just got notified they have more opposition than just the American people.
