Israeli Trained NYPD Launches Plan To Deal With Protests - Arm Police With Long Rifles, Grenade Launchers, M16s and Tanks
Murders reached a historic low in NYC for 2014; overall
crime was down across the board by nearly 5%; hell, even the holiday
slowdown didn’t really lead to any additional crime. So clearly, now is
the time when NYC really needs to implement a new anti-terrorism program
which would empower a team of NYPD officers to roam around the city
carrying machine guns. What could go wrong? This new squad will be used to investigate and combat
terrorist plots, lone wolf terrorists, and… protests. “It is designed
for dealing with events like our recent protests, or incidents like
Mumbai or what just happened in Paris,” Bratton said, according to CBS. – From the Gothamist article: New NYPD Anti-Terror Unit Will Get Machine Guns To Police Protesters By Michael Krieger:The morphing of “terrorism” and “domestic dissent” into an all
encompassing and convenient category known as “domestic terrorists” or
“domestic extremists” has been a long time coming. It has always been my
contention, and continues to be, that the oligarchs who have funneled
all of the wealth to themselves since the 2008 banker bailouts know
exactly what they are doing. They also know that it will eventually
result in severe domestic unrest during the next cyclical downturn. As
such, the agenda has been to utilize the entirety of the
intelligence-industrial-military complex created by the “war on terror”
against the domestic population once it recognizes how badly it has been
looted. All the way back in 2010, in the post, The Dangers of a Failed Presidency, I wrote:
There is clearly a power elite that consists
of a union between big corporate and financial oligarchs and career
bureaucrats in Washington D.C. These are the folks that pull the
strings of all administrations. All you have to do is look at the
trends that have been in place since George W Bush and continue under
Obama to see what these players want. Bigger government and thus more
Federal power, more wealth for the oligarchs (thank you Federal Reserve)
and an erosion of the middle class, and reduction of civil liberties in
the name of the 1984-like never-ending “war on terror.” I believe in a
war on terror of my own. A war against the terror that Washington D.C.
is constantly trying to inject into your head so that you sheepishly
give away all you rights and power to them. That’s my war on terror.
The vast majority of people simply refuse to believe any of the
above. They will remain in denial until the very moment at which denial
becomes an impossibility. By that point it might be too late. The NYPD clearly knows what’s coming and is rapidly preparing itself for the years ahead. As the Gothamist notes,
crime has been plunging in New York City, yet the NYPD appears to be
gearing up for Mad Max levels of unrest. Why? Because the thieves at the
top know exactly what they have done. From the Gothamist:
This new squad will be used to investigate
and combat terrorist plots, lone wolf terrorists, and… protests. “It is
designed for dealing with events like our recent protests, or incidents like Mumbai or what just happened in Paris,” Bratton said, according to CBS. You catch that? It’s absolutely no accident that protesters are being
lumped into the same category as terrorists. Recall just yesterday I
noted how the new head of the U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors lumped network RT in with terrorist organizations. Now back to the Gothamist:
“They’ll be equipped and trained in ways that our
normal patrol officers are not,” Bratton explained. “They’ll be equipped
with all the extra heavy protective gear, with the long rifles and
machine guns — unfortunately sometimes necessary in these instances.” Capital NY adds that these officers will also be used “to assist on crime scenes, and help with crowd control and other large-scale events.” Bratton said Mayor de Blasio was on board, and
he expected the City Council to be as well. He also said he thinks this
will help improve relationships between cops and local residents.
Ah, Mr. “liberal” de Blasio is on board. Because using machine guns
on protesters is so liberal. Seems increasingly clear the only thing
this guy is useful for is instigating a yuppie panic about 5 inches of
non-snow. The New York Post added a little color, including the fact that the unit will be “assigned to the Counterterrorism Bureau.” See:
The Strategic Response Group, or SRG, will be devoted
to “advanced disorder control and counterterrorism protection,”
responding to the sort of demonstrations that erupted after the Eric
Garner grand-jury decision and also events like the recent Paris terror
attacks. The unit, which will be operational by summer, will be assigned to the Counterterrorism Bureau.
Finally from the New York Times. It’s almost incredible that the first two paragraphs were written in such close proximity. Orwell is blushing as we speak:
The future of the New York Police Department will include patrol officers with more time to visit with community members and learn their concerns.
It
will also include more high-powered weapons for a new unit of specially
trained officers focused on patrolling terrorist targets and protests.
“It is designed for dealing with events like our recent protests or incidents like Mumbai or what just happened in Paris,”
Mr. Bratton said, referring to the terrorist attacks in India in 2008
and in France this month, both carried out by small groups of men
wielding assault rifles.
Meanwhile, police across the nation as so afraid of the plebs, they
are calling for Congress to categorize attacks on police as “hate
crimes.” See the following from Yahoo:
In the wake of the murder of two New York City police officers and a national debate about policing,
the National Fraternal Order of Police is asking for the Congressional
hate crimes statute to be expanded to include crimes against police
officers. The union has more than 300,000 members.
Violence against police
officers that is motivated by anti-police bias should be prosecuted as a
hate crime, the nation’s largest police union is arguing in a letter to
President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders this week.
“Right now, it’s a hate crime
if you attack someone solely because of the color of their skin, but it
ought to be a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the
color of their uniform as well,” said Jim Pasco, the executive director
of the National Fraternal Order of Police.
“Enough is enough! It’s time
for Congress to do something to protect the men and women who protect
us,” Chuck Canterbury, the president of the union, said in a statement
Monday. The group has long lobbied for harsher punishment for those who
harm law enforcement officers.
Yep, enough is enough! Poor cops. Too bad violence against cops has actually been plunging. See:
In general, the
number of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty has
declined since the 1970s, reflecting the fall of violent crime in the
United States in general. It’s not clear who in Congress would
take up the union’s call to introduce such legislation. In the past,
Democrats such as Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona and Republicans such as
Peter King of New York have sponsored union-backed bills.
Murders reached a historic low in NYC for 2014; overall
crime was down across the board by nearly 5%; hell, even the holiday
slowdown didn’t really lead to any additional crime. So clearly, now is
the time when NYC really needs to implement a new anti-terrorism program
which would empower a team of NYPD officers to roam around the city
carrying machine guns. What could go wrong?
