Isn't it still illegal [[unconstitutional, I think) for the military to police U.S. civilians? Or has that protection been revoked too? It used to be that everyone took that restriction very, very seriously.


Maybe seven? years ago there was a suicide case in Shelby Township. I just happened to spot a convoy of police vehicles headed to the scene. One of them was an armored personnel carrier. It was totally unnecessary. The guy died anyway. Sad.

As far as paranoia goes, I'd be more concerned about paranoid police. That's when things can really go wrong fast.
