"The Scenario (2016)"...

[eyer]

...think Mike Yates is nuts?

Well, take a look at this academic study about the future use of the military as a peacekeeping force within the United States written by a retired Army Colonel, which depicts a shocking scenario in which the U.S. Army is used to restore order to a town that has been seized by Tea Party “insurrectionists”.

Notice, too, the Colonel's treatment of local law enforcement at the end of the second paragraph of his scenario:

Activists remove the chief of police and either disarm local police and county sheriff departments or discourage them from interfering. In truth, this is hardly necessary. Many law enforcement officials already are sympathetic to the tea party’s agenda, know many of the people involved, and have made clear they will not challenge the takeover. The militia members are organized and have a relatively well thought-out plan of action.
