another unexpected military drill in an urban area worries residents ... [ link to abclocal.go.com] ========================================================== HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The sight of Army helicopters and the sound of gunfire created a lot of concern Monday afternoon in one Houston neighborhood.
We received a lot of phones calls, Tweets and Facebook posts from worried neighbors, wondering what was going on.
...
"I felt like I was in a warzone." Jerrals said. "It was nonstop. I was terrified."
Turns out, it was a multi-agency training drill that Jerrals wished would have come with warning.=========================================================== [ link to www.youtube.com] Note the about 16-18 civilian type firearms being laid out on the concrete at 0:52. Before anyone says its routine training - no this is not normal. Posse comitatus disallows the military from stateside operations. Sooo ... What is the point of training for something that would be illegal? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32328802 'for the children' or not I don't think that was Army personnel at all. Those folks walking around look like contractors or feds. Many were in civilian clothes and not camies/BDU's which is odd. Also you'd think the helicopter would say "Army" somewhere on it... The weapons being laid on the ground at 52 seconds is really odd. We never laid our weapons down like that when I trained in the military. If they weren't on our person we would lean 3 rifles together (like a teepee) so they weren't laying on the ground. I find it really odd the Houston PD supposedly knew what was going on but the fire department didn't? At the very end of the clip they mention that an ambulance was dispatched until HPD contacted dispatch and advised it was a training exercise.
