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.
this whole or deal is bull$#%&!@* with the law
for us what else
hope the people are ready, and they said the miltery wont do obamas bitting
Let the dems lose the house and senate in Nov. and we will find out exactly what Obama is up to. If a Dem. doesn’t win the next presidency, it will be interesting to see if Obama will turn over power to a republican president without incident.
WHY ????????????
can’t trust the government. Remember Kent State.
The Military and Law Enforcement must figure out which side is right and wrong and under Obama, its totally wrong and since he is a Fraud, don’t obey his orders
I will say this have a plan because it wont be nice.
It is illegal to train police as a military unit but like the rest of the Constitution this administration uses it to wipe their ass. WAKE UP AMERICA!
something involving George Soros comes to mind
