Isn' t this a bit excessive? However it is good there is foot patrol, perhaps they should adopt the sheme in the UK where there are community representatives that are given limited powers to become a community police officer, this way it might ease the burden on the police force and should make people feel safer... Also why the curfew? Crime must be realllly bad there |

Stovall told the group of almost 40 residents that beginning in 2013, the department would deploy a new street crimes unit to high crime areas on foot to take back the streets. "[Police are] going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck," Stovall said. "If you're out walking, we're going to stop you, ask why you're out walking, check for your ID." Stovall said while some people may be offended by the actions of his department, they should not be. "We're going to do it to everybody," he said. "Criminals don't like being talked to." Gaskill backed Stovall's proposed actions during Thursday's town hall. read entire article [link to www.paragoulddailypress.com] Now that POTUS has brought back so many troops from overseas, he has to find a way to employ them all. What better way to do that than to have a bunch of shell shocked, PTSD afflicted, disenfranchised troops patrolling their homeland ? |

"But they're going to have to prove it." "This fear is what's given us the reason to do this. Once I have stats and people saying they're scared, we can do this," he said. "It allows us to do what we're fixing to do." Wow! Well there you have it folks..... create fear and panic and the sheep will go along with whatever we say!!! Please pin this mods...soon may soon be in every town in America! There is the Gestopo.. its going down people. "They" mean to get a Civil War going in the USA.. and then bring in weaspons for the 'freedom figthers' and 'no-fly zones', and such. This is the classic "Law and Order" approach to tyranny... And you wondered why that crappy TV show with that name has been running for 15 years or so? |

It doesn't sound too bad if they stay in the high crime areas, but they will expand into your nieghborhood. Then it's too late.  Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

As for having IDs, he said citizens wouldn't have to worry about that, either. He said the police would not arrest residents solely for failing to produce identification when asked. Attorney Curtis Hitt of the law firm of Hitt and Kidd said officers were allowed to engage in "consensual questioning" with citizens, though if any circumstances arose that led to an arrest, a judge would have to look at the "totality" of those circumstances. |
