Military Police to Participate in Crowd Control for College Footbal Game...

[eyer]

South Carolina visits Georgia this Saturday night, and MPs of Fort Jackson will be unconstitutionally in play...

Officials say campus police, Richland County sheriff's deputies, the South Carolina Highway Patrol and Fort Jackson's military police will help with crowd control after the game.

Assistant Police Chief Les Wiser says the plan includes barricades, DUI checkpoints and observation towers to keep the crowd under control.

"We're going to ensure order through enforcement of all laws. Of course, our highest priority will be the prevention of violent crime," said Wiser.

More and more these days in America, the military is being entwined with civil police enforcement and the grand plan is evidently to further assign the military a much larger role in the days/years ahead...

...the May/June 2012 issue of Foreign Affairs ("Published by the Council on Foreign Relations") contains an article penned by the US Army Chief of Staff, in which General Raymond T. Odierno states unequivocally:

Where appropriate we will also dedicate active-duty forces, especially those with niche skills and equipment, to provide civilian officials with a robust set of reliable and rapid response options.

http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/137423/raymond-t-odierno/the-us-army-in-a-time-of-transition

"the highest of priority" is not "the prevention of violent crime"...

...it is reverence for law already established:

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Posse Comitatus Act, Section 1385

And the crowd snores...

 

[dirtycarol]

Yes, the crowd does snore, unless you mess with their games, electronics, or tv.

They should put them in major cities to exterminate the gangs.

I don't think that's Constitutional. We as self governing citizens should take care of it ourselves.

LOL MS13...gang bangers extraordinaire vs. 3rd ID......

Domestic terrorist vs. 82nd ABN......

Suspected terrorist vs. 1st RECON/DHS...

Slippery slope my friend, and while we have been surfing the accretion disk for a while, we crossed the event horizon back when the GOP sold out to wall st. and gave that socialist Romney the nod for POTUS.

LMAO constitutional.....like that matters.

Between the fed's FLAGRANT disregard for the 10th amendment and the fact that the only thing the fed has to do in order to strip you of your constitutional rights is label you a "suspected terrorist" and poof....bye bye. They have us by the short and curliest of curly's more so here than any other 1st world country.

As long as it's not sexist/racist nor does it infringe on the 1st amendment, better yet just as long as it doesn't wind up on the news in a bad light the fed pretty much get's away with whatever the fuck it wants.

Yes I know. They laugh at it and wipe their ass's with it. They pacify us with our little games, electronics, and sports. We don't raise a fuss, we rat out our neighbors over nothing. All the while "they" plot our demise and reeducation at will...Well, for some of us. I remember liberty and I miss it.

Who knows maybe I'm just crazy and everything is as it should be and upper management is just F'ing up right at the moment. Maybe we need the aristocracy shitting all over us to function as a society ....*shrug*

*tips tin foil hat* catch y'all later.

You have a tin foil hat too?

Talk about your thread full of dumb...

This is no different than having the Shore Patrol or MP's on the streets when a Navy ship ports, or on the streets of a military town in the party district. MP's from Fort Jackson will ONLY be involved in keeping an eye on the military contingent at the game. The Army folks are typically NOT any problem, but after the brawl at the USC-Clemson game a few years back, city and university officials take no chances...
It got tough in Columbia a couple years ago after we beat Alabama, and some idiots partying in the streets pushed a kid in front of a car, or he fell into traffic and he got killed, or something along those lines.

On another note, can't get tix to the game...completely sold out...the cheapest nosebleed seats were going for $300 before they were all snatched up. My son is an alum, and a frat member, and can't get tix...major game in the NCAAF SEC world...Go Gamecocks! I'll be watching from the comfort of my or my daughter and SIL's recliner...

Minor point, but posse comitatus doesn't apply to the Navy. I'm hoping Eyer will come back and point out the Constitutional violation. I'm always up for being schooled.

I don't think it applies at all in this case...

Where is the Constitutional violation you complain of in your opening post? Really, I'm curious.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Of course it doesn't. Eyer takes language from a civil war era statute and thinks it has remained unchanged for 135 years.

What a pity that executive order 11051 was signed 50 years ago by John F. Kennedy and revoked by executive order 12148 signed by Jimmy Carter. Apart from that, though, you're spot on!

It's almost as if he didn't even read the link he cited.

 

[run_silent]

I actually read through the order. It read to me that the government has the power to send in the troops AFTER the emergency has happen. Not to use the military to prevent an emergency from maybe happening.

edited to add

This is not to say they can't prepare for an emergency and have troops and supplies moved near the area. Just that the military can not be used until the emergency actually happens.

There was some dumb RW email going round saying that Obama had signed a zillion exec orders and no president before had ever signed more than thirty. It was total bullshit start to finish, but the retards, as usual, swallowed every word.

Anybody know if Kent State scheduled to play this Weekend ?
