U.S. Army’s Elite Special Forces are conducting secret joint exercises with local cops in Richland County, SC.
“Citizens may see military and departmental vehicles traveling in and around rural and metropolitan areas and may hear ordnance being set off or fired which will be simulated/ blanks and controlled by trained personnel,” a sheriff’s department press release said.
One must ask: For what purpose are they conducting these drills?
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 was created to outline a clear division between the military and domestic police forces. The act outlaws any direct involvement by the United States military in any law enforcement operation.
Blurring the lines between the U.S. military and local sheriff departments creates a dangerous atmosphere where citizen’s rights can easily be stripped away.
Those lines are being blurred right now in South Carolina.
Evidently Sheriff Leon Lott, who is part of this exercise, hasn’t read the Posse Comitatus Act lately.
COLUMBIA, SC — Richland County sheriff’s deputies on Monday and Tuesday will conduct a secretive joint exercise around the county with unidentified units from Ft. Bragg, according to the sheriff’s department.
The exercises will run up to midnight both days and be primarily in Lower Richland, around Eastover and Hopkins.
Exercises will also conducted around the Screaming Eagle Road near Elgin and North Richland County near outbound Monticello Road.
Ft. Bragg is home to some of the U.S. Army’s elite fighting groups, including Special Forces, aviation support and airborne units. The Army’s Delta Force is also at Ft. Bragg.
A sheriff’s department spokesman Sunday declined to say which Ft. Bragg units will be involved. Reporters will not be allowed to “view or participate” in the exercise.
It will be noisy at times.
“Citizens may see military and departmental vehicles traveling in and around rural and metropolitan areas and may hear ordnance being set off or fired which will be simulated/ blanks and controlled by trained personnel,” a sheriff’s department press release said. .
The release said that, “Due to Sheriff Leon Lott’s longstanding commitment to making sure that deputies are trained and prepared for every event and potential threat and his desire to assist the military to ensure their preparations;” the joint exercise is being held.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THE WILDERNESS,..THIS IS NO DRILL..
i can tell you why they are doing this and its not just in S.C.its happening all over . the reason is obama wants them ready when he announces that he will not step down as leader and will go as far as using his executive order to stay in office he knows the people will not stand for it and will rise up as a nation to oust his ass so he is training the local police in military actions to stop us.
obama is planing gun control and for obama to do so is not legal!!
Why? Governors know so why?
Time for Americans to start getting some urban training in also, in case our PDs need help in protecting us from whatever is going to attact us.
Obama’s “Rogue lawless administration” must be stopped…soon
what again or is this old news ?
Sorry but their are just to many people in this country to either take guns away from. Also you can’t put U.S all into internment camps.
This is not new.. 20 years ago I was with the department of corrections. We trained with the IRS and different SWAT teams..
For you people that have never held a Governmental job. You know why agencies are purchasing military style weapons. Its because you want to keep up with the Jones. You go train and this agency has an Mp5 and your there with a mini 14. Next budget cycle you put in a request for your own Mp5s …
o no they said they are not going to take our guns and we can trust our government o wait that was our government that said that better LOCK AND LOAD
