Alabama National Guard as Posse Comitatus! Police State Here We Are!!

Alabama Sheriff asks Governor to Deploy the State's National Guard as a Posse Comitatus!!

The implementation of martial law in America advanced a step further this week when the sheriff of Alabama's most populous county said he would probably have to bring in National Guard troops to fulfill his police duties due to budget cuts. Plans to slash $4.1 million from the budget of Sheriff Mike Hale by Jefferson County commissioners, in order to head off a municipal bankruptcy filing, were approved by Circuit Judge Joseph L. Boohaker.

A spokesman for Hale, Randy Christian, said the sheriff told Governor Riley after the ruling that state assistance may be needed to perform basic law enforcement tasks once the departments current funding is exhausted in early September, according to the Associated Press.

Jefferson County has 640,000 residents and includes the states largest city, Birmingham.

Moves to replace traditional law enforcement with National Guard troops have been replicated in other parts of the country, including in Schenectady New York, where budgetary constraints were not even cited as a reason for the changeover.

The use of military assets in civilian law enforcement is still illegal under Posse Comitatus, unless a clear state of emergency exists. The misbehavior of a few cops or the inability of a Sheriff to manage a budget cut does not constitute a state of emergency.

In this context, without the justification of an existing crisis that mandates National Guard intervention, the threat to replace police officers with troops on a whim is a sad reflection of how America is turning into a Soviet style military police state, as law enforcement increasingly shifts over to Homeland Security and Northcom controlled military assets.

The National Guard is excluded from Posse Comitatas while under the authority of a governor of a state.

@agent4051 - maybe someone should'a told the Governator of Alabama. Maybe they didn't because they didn't want to get whacked by the JBT's.

[Minuteman1969]

Perhaps the citizens of Alabama would do well to emulate the example of the citizens of NOLA, after Katrina, and form local militias.  Well-regulated local militias can be trained as a volunteer posse by the county sheriff and used to fill the gap and be the eyes & ears of the sheriff.

This is happening all over AmeriKa - and if they wouldn't spend all our tax money on illegal aliens, we would have money for basic public safety functions! Who are the real criminals?!

[NewAmericaNow]

In reality it is not so much the illegals because anyone who lives here legal or not pays taxes on goods and services to a far greater extent than is required. It is the wall streeters, banks and credit companies that continue to pillage the American economy.

@Fuzionrider

Everything is now run by the feds via unelected homeland security. The fed is totally controlled offshore. They want a war between the police/military and citizens, i must say it is shaping up quite well.

Not that America doesn't deserve it, but i would rather see it avoided so the Jews do not have yet another stunning victory in killing millions of goyum.

[Fuzionrider]

@BloodTar rambo? wow shut the fuck up. another 911 inside job nutcase i assume. the national guard is to protect the citizens, hence it only being HALF federal and HALF state run. the guard is a militia. they are trained by the US ARMY but they are a militia of the state/nation.

@Fuzionrider

Fuzionrider . . . You are quite obvious an uniformed, unread, unlearnedidiot, the kind that the predatory military recruiters absolutely love. You obviously did not join the military to help protect the rights and freedoms of your fellow countrymen, especially since you're so giddy with the possibility of armed military troops patrolling American neighborhoods. You need to do your homework and quit thinking you're some kind of Rambo . . . . cuz you ain't.

[BloodTar]

Has that sheriff lost his frickin' mind? Putting national guard troops on the streets to control crime, speeding and help conduct investigations? Someone needs to put that sheriff in jail for even suggesting such a thing. This is crazy. Allow people to arms themselves and let the criminals take their chances.

[Fuzionrider]

this isnt martial law? go National Guard, thanks for all you do. glad i joined you on 911, cant wait to go to basic. HOOAH.

[AnotherWayFilms]

We had a burglary!

We need the National Guard to be redeployed from a hot-fire zone in Afghanistan and rotate into our little town, guns a blazin'. Never mind training in local law enforcement or in protecting citizens rights, courts of law, or the fact that the military is constitutionally prohibited from local policing.
