Martial Law: 'Courtesy' Patrol Begins in Columbus, Georgia

Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US — COLUMBUS, Ga. --

Starting at 10 o'clock Friday, two senior non-commissioned officers from Fort Benning will be walking the streets of Downtown Columbus, also known as, "Uptown." The soldiers will be wearing arm bands that read, "Courtesy Patrol."

Fort Benning's Commanding General Robert Brown, and Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson made the announcement earlier this week.

The need to increase security in Uptown Columbus comes after two weekend incidents in early April.

In the first incident, police say five soldiers beat another man. The beating was witnessed near First Ave. and 10th street- sending the victim - a former solider - to the hospital with head injuries.

The other, a shooting that left four injured - one fatally - at Mario's restaurant on Broadway. A man is charged in connection with the assault.

Now, Columbus Police will have the company of two uniformed Fort Benning soldiers on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Mayor Tomlinson says the soldiers will not be able to make any arrests, but will be able to command order of all military personnel and if need be, alert military police.

"You can't arrest someone for being intoxicated, but a senior officer can order you back to base or have military police come get you and bring you back to base," says Tomlinson.

Charlotte Burton says the extra patrols might not be enough.

"I know this is just a start but I think they will have to increase security that's being offered...a lot of people come down here at night," says Burton.

For Specialist Ryan Jesse - stationed at Fort Benning - he says soldiers will think twice after seeing another in uniform.

"It keeps things in check. It avoids thing getting out of hand which happens a lot with soldiers unfortunately," says SPC Jesse.

The patrols will last about five hours, ending at 3am (EST) shortly after the bars close.

This is not the first time the City of Columbus has enlisted the help of military courtesy patrols, but it has been years since the practice was used.

Youguys are so misguided,this is simply to help soldiers from making poor choices and drinking and driving. This patrol will have no weapons,they will not be like MP's,they will simply be on a patrol to help ensure soldiers do the right thing.This will help both locals and people stationed at FT B...oh but dont get me wrong.WE ARE WATCHING YOU!!! yes you with the Code red mountain dew and the cheetoes sitting there watching reruns of conspericy theory youtube videos...we've got our eye on you!

@706334CurbSnot You sure don't give me a lot of faith in our armed forces. What part of this don't you get? The soldiers are there because you guys have proved over and over again that you can't behave responsibly in public. Let me remind you that the courtesy patrols are not armed - but old "Bubba" over there can split a chipmonk's skull at 500 yards, AND he has a constitutional rights to carry a gun. I bet he's watching YOU.

@MsElectromagnetic ever heard of the posse comitatus act? look it up... it doesn't matter if the soldiers are armed or not... they are not allowed to police the american people.

America, Free It or Leave It!

@RevolutionNewsDotUS2 I live in Columbus, GA and it is nice to have them around. The boot camp kids like to get drunk on the weekend and more often than not it seems they start fights. There's at least 3 every weekend night and they are almost always military. The MP deal with the soldiers and the city police the citizens. It would have been nice to have that Military patrol there when I was stabbed. You're a delusion kook.

[RevolutionNewsDotUS2]

@gumpdydumpty why is supporting the constitution considered being a kook... you haven't heard of posse commatatus, have you?

:(

@kshazamm78 ya staff duty is fun when a pissed off 1st sergeant from another battalion calls to tell us to police our soldiers.

[FlagFlyingHigh3]

You all are taking this way out of proportion, it's not some grand military conspiracy. Its for those drunk dog faced privates, like myself not getting into trouble with the columbus police. Its two soldiers in a van. They can't touch civilians nor have any authority over them. This is why I dont go to downtown Columbus to have fun now.

Look at all those fools agreeing to the beginnings of martial law and they don't even know it. These is how america is lost as a free nation and her people enslaved by the New World Order. Prepare for martial law and pray for this nation that God is brought back to this country or its over america. William Penn said " If thou would rule well, thou must rule for God, and to do that, thou must be ruled by Him,.. Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants." What prophetic words.
